>>>>> QUICK! BBC4 right now - Jackanory night ! <<<<<<<

[treacletart]

Starting with Kenneth Wiliiams and the Dribblesome Teapots - class.

Wish I could video non terrestrial....

Am I the only one excited about this do you think?

oh well ..... just me and DH then...

Bugger, wish I had seen this earlier! I loved Jackanory, with Harry Potter being so popular now the BBC really made a mistake taking it off when they did.

RicK Mayall reading George's Marvellous Medecine anyone?

Woulkdn't it be fantastic if you could download old Jackanory's on the BBC website?

I'm watching cos its my favourite ever

Dh is watching his crappy programmes so I am denied Jackanory, s'not fair!

I loved when Rik Mayall read "George.." He was so good at the parts where he was describing things like the granny's mouth looking like a dogs bottom!!!!

Dahl was a genius, I have all my old books just waiting for dts to be old enough!

can we start a bring back jackanory campaign?

I loved it when I was a child and my two dd's would be engrossed. Who says they need all flashy cartoons all the time? A little bit of quality tv doesn't do them any harm and its got to be in line with encouraging children to read - it got me reading more.

Well, at the end of the programme Bernard Cribbens said ......

It IS coming back!

In the Autumn he said
