At secondary school in the early 90s one of our teachers was caught singing the Button Moon theme whilst prepping a TV for an afternoon lesson. He never lived it down, people sang the theme at him for the rest of time I was at school.

You'll find that a lot of British TV shows of this era have a wistful, calming, almost melancholy air about them. In the early '80s, they'd tend to be shown earlier in the day, around lunchtime - the timing was perfect for toddlers' afternoon nap.

About 15-ish, years ago, my i picked my youngest kid up from nursery, and wouldn't stop talking about the puppet show they showed him in school, eventually we figured out what it was, it was Button Moon. he loved it so much, we ended up buying a couple of DVDs for him to watch. Once he'd grown out of the show, we donated them and dozens other old kids show DVD to the school, which I hear they still show.

🎵We've been to Button Moon. We've followed Mister Spoon. Button Moon. Button Moon. Be back soon. Made for kids? I don't think so. I was NOT a child at the time. I was your age.🤣🤣I watched the end of it in my lunch hour. There wasn't anything else on the telly at lunchtime in those days. Sandra Dickinson, who was Peter Davison's wife at the time, is the other singer on the theme tune. Those pinwheels are little windmills you bought the kids at the seaside. The suitcases are boxes of Ship matches. Rainbow is great. 'Isn't it Bungle?' 'Yes George.' There was a singing trio on the show, Rod, Jane and Freddy. Both Rod and Freddy were married to Jane, but not at the same time I should add. 😂😂 Other shows to watch out for are Jamie and the Magic Torch, Chorlton and the Wheelies, Puddle Lane and Pipkins. Hartley Hare in the Pipkins is the weirdest, tatty old hare that you ever did see. I reckon the people who made all those shows were on something. 😵

I don't remember Button Moon - I'm far too old - but The Clangers, now that was wild. And Noggin the Nog, Ivor the Engine and of course Bagpus. These will keep you busy for weeks :-) Unbelievable The Clangers had a script (you'll understand when you see it) and on one occasion the TV company censored it! The best part of this video was watching your face as you watched the show. A mixture of delight and disbelief :-)

I was too old for ButtonMoon- just heading off to university when this dropped! I did already know that Peter Davison wrote the music - but I see from the credits that he wrote it with Sandra Dickenson who was his wife at the time. What I like about this is that the very 'homespun' look and feel of the world means that you can recreate it- or something very like it- at home with your own toys and a bit of junk modelling, and create your own stories for the Buttons and their friends.

Nobody has mentioned finger mouse. A man with a paper mouse on his finger. A lot of children's T.V in the 70's and 80's was quite strange and I remember thinking so at the time. Bagpuss was very strange and gave me the creeps as a child, but my wife loved and still has a Bagpuss hot water bottle cover.

Ok, I never realised I needed to see a US-born dual American/British citizen doing a running commentary and criticism of classic British children's TV programmes, but I'm completely here for it! You should make this an occasional series - there are plenty of weird, wonderful and silly British children's TV shows from the 60s, 70s and 80s for you to watch! This could be a whole new direction for the Girl Gone London channel! 😅 (And really, I'm only part joking. As a Briton of a certain age, this was funny, wholesome and entertaining, and made my evening!) Several other shows have been suggested already, but I've not seen anyone mention Bod. The artwork is very basic but I thought the theme tune especially was great, as was the soothing narration of the late, great John LeMesurier (who famously appeared in the TV comedy Dad's Army - which you should also check out if you haven't yet)

Hi Kalyn, Saw the title of this video and thought "Button moon, I remember that". Used to watch it in the early eighties. Haven't really thought of it since I grew out of it. I heard that theme and no joke I had goosebumps, and that's coming from someone who didn't even like the show back then. It's amazing how it can effect you even years later. Highly recommend the Mr. men and little Misses.

I always thought the narrator to this show always had a degree of sarcasm to his voice when telling the stories. This was one of the first 80's lunchtime children's programmes shown by ITV's Thames Television, back in the autumn of 1980 and managed to last for 8 years. For me, this was right at the end of when I was of an age/in a position to watch such programmes, so only remember it vaguely. There's plenty of others from the 70's, such as, 'Cloppa Castle', 'Paper Play', 'A Handful of Songs', 'Jamie And The Magic Torch', 'Chorlton And The Wheelies', and, 'Issi Noho', that immediately spring to mind. Then, there's the longer 20 minute shows which followed, such as, 'Hickory House', 'Pipkins', 'Mr. Trimble', and the most famous of all, 'Rainbow.' The BBC's version of, 'lunchtime programmes for children', aired a bit later, usually around 1.30pm, and were generally 15 minutes in length. The most famous among them being the Gordon Murry trilogy of, 'Trumpton', 'Camberwick Green', and, 'Chigley.' Then, there's others such as, 'Bod', 'Bagpuss', 'Rag-time', 'The Flumps', 'Barnaby The Bear', 'The Herbs', 'Mr Benn', 'Fingerbobs', and a few others. Then, the BBC would show a 5 minute show at the end of their weekday afternoon children's programmes, at 5.35pm, just prior to the early evening News. 'The Magic Roundabout', is probably one of the best known ones, but there were many others. 'The Wombles', 'Captain Pugwash', 'The Perishers', 'Fred Bassett', 'Ivor The Engine', 'Paddington', as examples. Not only is it the actor who was soon to be Doctor Who, singing the theme song, but also his then wife Sandra Dickinson, who was also a reasonably well known actress at the time.

I did watch as a child and have the DVD somewhere. Thinking of the programmes around when I was growing up there were two main sources BBC Broom Cupboard which became CBBC and ITV CITV which ran on weekdays from around 3.30pm with CITV finishing at about 5.10pm and BBC finishing at 5.30pm. Some of the cartoons we got included Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Bananaman, Super Ted Telebugs, Raggy Dolls, Piegon Street, and you grew up in the children's ward, Byker Grove Grange Hill. There were also education and Art based shows such as Think of a Number, Blue Peter, Art Attack and Hartbeat AS a pre-schooler I can remember watching playschool but the one that had its biggest impact was Chockablock and its surprising as they only ever made 8 episodes.

I loved Button Moon as a kid, also met Peter Davidson at a local cricket match, he used to do a show called Jacanory so I went up to him and said 'I like your stories on Jackanory' because my older brother told me to

You're enthusiasm and narration for this show was enchanting 😅 Being Australian I have not seen it before, nor do I have the imagination of a 5 year old anymore. If I did I'm sure I would have found it entertaining, even though it makes absolutely no sense 😂

This was my favourite show when I was 3/4, i had it on video, when my sister had kids I gave her the videos (she had an old video player), she wanted them to watch shows where people spoke properly, she wouldn't let them watch things like teletubbies, because they didn't speak properly

I am in my mid 50’s and grew up watching childrens tv in the 70’s. As an adult I love sci-fi, but I got into sci fi as a 4 year old watching the clangers… Other ones I loved include Ivor (pup! Pup!), bag puss and Paddington, narrated by Sir Michael Horden, The Trumptonshire collection (Chigley, Camberwick Green and Trumpton), Bod, Mr Benn and the Flumps…

I used to watch Button Moon. :) I'm looking forward to your video on other children's shows. I hope you'll include Sooty, he's a cultural icon. I'd love to see you do a reaction video to that too, either an episode from the Harry Corbett era or the Matthew Corbett era.
