Advantages: Nostalgia

Disadvantages: No remakes please!

More nostalgia! I remember watching Bod as a child very clearly. The very simple, colourful cartoon surprisingly had only 13 episodes. Main character was Bod (dressed in his fetching yellow triangular dress...like you do) and his friends Aunt Flo, PC Copper, Frank the Postman and Farmer Barleymow.

Aimed at the very young, the animation and stories are very simple, its the images and the music I remember rather than the stories. Each character had a signature piece of music that played when they came on, Aunt Flo's and Frank's being the best (slighty burlesquey number for Flo oddly!)

Narrated by the distinctive voice of John Le Mesurier (Dad's Army) each episode has a theme, Bod and the dog, Bod and the rain etc. Within the episodes was another story about the milkshake loving Alberto the frog and his orchestra.

You can catch up on some snippets of the series on YouTube, there's also a funny Bod 'Avin it large dance remix! Whatever would Aunt Flo say?

Summary: 1970's cartoon fun
