The Queen's Nose, series 1, episode 1

[@steveattridge5919]

I wrote this. Adapted the first 3 series. Loved doing it. Great production values.

[@RumbleRed]

Awesome. I was born in 1990 and grew up on this stuff. Queen's nose is certainly one of the more memorable offerings from that time; looking back at a few childhood "classics" now on KZbin, it's definitely held up better than most. Writing, shooting, acting - all on point. I think I remember liking an episode in a haunted house, but maybe I'm misremembering. I even liked the stuff where they changed the location to a canal boat. Really great music too, theme and score. Anyway, thanks for your contributions to what is a very fondly remembered show.

[@steveattridge5919]

@@RumbleRed Hi. Yes there was a haunted house episode which was great fun to write and eventually watch. I have copies of my first 3 series and am going to try to put them up on here.

Wow bro thank you. This was everyone’s favourite childhood show at one point 👍🏾😁

[@zeroFrequency]

@Steve thank you for making this fantastic show that made my childhood!

[@nathantru2979]

The title " The Queen's nose" makes fun of the queen Elizabeth II's nose as said in the title and that the plot portrays that her nose is magical. Hmm.... I guess that the UK loved to make fun of their current queen back in the 90's

[@louiswilde8711]

[@stefankempkes3769]

The theme tune to this show is utterly brilliant. Dark, haunting and mysterious. Yet at the same time, bright, colourful and full of life. Combine that with the nostalgia that this show triggers, and you can bring a tear to even a glass eye.

[@deanslife1]

Sooo true! Someone on fb randomly talks about kids t.v. and my attention right away goes to this show! The theme music was great yes and I fancied harmony! She made good facial expressions and I loved her voice. Just to nice

Just hit 30, so getting nostalgic about watching this and Bernard's Watch at my Great Grandma's. We were so lucky to have this lovely, wholesome English TV when we were kids. I feel sorry for the kids of now.

These shows could never possibly hold the attention of kids today. I'm interested in seeing how it'll affect their working lives in the coming decade.

[@arranboon1]

They’re literally taking kid’s TV away from them as it all ‘goes digital’. Man, I feel for the youths if they don’t have kid’s TV to watch. It’s all KZbin and TikTok now and it’s killing attention spans like fuck.

[@Solaar_Punk]

Sorry but you were 0 years old when this came out. You must be thinking of a different program perhaps.

@@Solaar_Punk You don't think they showed repeats? Because I know what I watched, buddy... That's some arrogance you've just displayed, frankly.

I always loved the theme tune to this, it's kinda creepy and pretty at the same time

[@jamesfry8983]

+KaydeyRai so true

[@amywilliams8680]

+KaydeyRai Reminds me a little of the theme from Poirot...

[@caveymoley]

"...the theme tune to this, is kinda creepy and pretty at the same time" This is because magic in story telling is almost always a metaphor for madness. It's a melancholy tune that reflects the bittersweet decent into madness of a sweet girl who is living a relatively neglected life, and is happier in the constructed reality born of mental illness. At least...that's what I see.

[@LilyFitzgerald]

To be fair, you might have a point there.

Does anyone else get really bothered that they use the wrong kind of 50p in the TV show? It's meant to be the one with the circle of hands on the back! There's no point rubbing an ordinary 50p, it has to be one of the 1973 EEC ones to even stand a chance.

What makes this show even more poignant for me (apart from the regular nostalgia etc) is that when I watched it back in 2002 ( remade in 2000-2003 after the original adaptation running 1995-1998) it was the year of the Queen's Golden Jubilee and I remember celebrating that with my Primary school.

Stop romanticizing the past. Good shows and good movies are still being released. Also, there were bad shows and bad movies out during the time that this show was released.
