I loved Potty Time.

Anyone remember Bob Monkhouse's Mad Movies? Another one from around the same time. Bob presented his own favourite clips from the silent film era.

I liked it too, but it didn't seem to be on much in Scotland. I was quite fascinated by the invisible characters moving about in the sand. Now Cartoon Cavalcade (Scottish) needs a mention but only because for months or maybe years Glen Michael (still alive, 99 years old), promised the children that they would show Casper The Friendly Ghost as soon as possible.

STV obviously wouldn't stump up the cash for it and I don't think it ever appeared again. Seemed a huge deal back in the 60s.

What else didn't I like .. oh yes I think it was called Why Don't You Stop Watching TV And Go And Do Something Else. Or something like that.

Found it, Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead?
