| History |
|
In 1975 the Bod stories were incorporated into a series fifteen minute 'Watch with Mother' programmes. It was narrated by John Le Mesurier (of Dad's Army) and the music was by Derek Griffiths (of Play School). Things have now come full circle and a new Bod Book has been released (see below). |
| Story |
 It was
simple animation and it consisted of following around a strange looking
boy called Bod. He to me looked like a bald little girl because of the
clothes he wore, but Bod was a boy! On his journey he would always bump
into his friends - Frank the Postman, Farmer Barleymow, Aunt Flo and PC
Copper. They were a strange group and would follow Bod around on his
adventures (looking more like an episode from Benny Hill). |

Bod was created by Joanne and Michael Cole and started life as a character in a series of 3
books. They were published by Methuen in 1965 and used by the BBC in Play School.
After the main Bod
story Maggie Henderson would narrate an additional section showing pictures that
would entertain young minds, remember Bod Snap. This would then lead into a
story about Alberto Frog and his Amazing
Animal Band, who would try to help people by playing their classical music. He
was always rewarded at the end with a milkshake for his efforts. The whole band
always tried to guess which flavour milkshake he would choose. I always liked
Strawberry :)
