I always loved The Perishers! Thank you for the reminder of this classic animation. Leonard Rossiter was great at Boot the dog.

Thanks, Jon - I will have to check out both the animated series and the comic strips. Sounds like fun!

This one is new to me. I lived in the UK for six years it doesn’t ring a bell. I’ll check you tube.

It is worth a watch for its very British-ness. Thanks for reading.

It seems like a mix of "Peanuts" and the kind of kid-oriented animated shows Hanna-Barbera was making for American TV in the '60s and '70s. Which makes it surprising it didn't cross over to North America- it just might have been "too English" for that.

You are so right. It was certainly very English, which I think made it more popular here but prevented it from travelling.
