My memory works!! It was in the Fifties, and as this was the only mention of
it I am know wondering if it was only on for one season. I admit that in
1956 I was at age 1. So the programmes I saw were shown In England at a later
date.
 Now it is established that the programme did exist, can anybody who rembers
back that far, give me any additional information.

Once again, Thanks in advance.....
