Quite liked this Wegie classic.
I used to love watching Rab C Nesbitt and did have some of the episodes on VHS many years ago. The theme tune was quite catchy but I always seemed to find it going around inside my head for ages afterwards! Steed

Anyone remember Follyfoot? Early 70's series although I'm pretty sure I saw the series repeated about 1976/77. Arthur English was in it although I don't remember what the episodes were about!

I've seen clips of it & know the memorable theme tune, according to wikipedia it was repeated in the late 80s. It must've been popular as a comic strip was made of it for Look-In & several annuals were produced. I've wondered about buying the dvd but I have a feeling 39 episodes of horsey tales might wear a bit thin. The Adventures Of Black Beauty was a show in the same vein, or is that rein, that I do remember watching if only for the magnificent theme. Funnily enough, both of these themes can be heard in episodes of Alan Partridge, as can the Return Of The Saint theme.

Arthur, I remember Black Beauty being on TV when I was very young, but, apparently, according to my parents, I was terrified of the clown that appeared in one of the episodes and so hid behind the sofa. This might be the particular one... Vi

I've never seen any of black beauty but I have to say I assumed it would be safe from clowns! Not sure I want to, now, Vienna
