Look and Read - Dark Towers - songs compilation

[@----Jay----]

Build yourself a word, with ED.. and magic magic E. Those were the ones that stuck with me, for decades!

[@Predators--cz2fb]

I used to love Dark Towers at Junior school. Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid but it was a good little series that helped a lot with reading.

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

At age 58, i started to learn about magic e. Awesome lesson. Cheers for sharing.

[@thequietestengine]

I never got to see this Look and Read. The ones I remember were Geordie Racer, Through the Dragon's Eye, Earth Warp, Spy Watch and Badger Girl. I wish I'd seen this one, some of these songs are great! The 'Why Don't you build yourself a word' one is a classic!

[@----Jay----]

Aaaah, Through The Dragon's Eye was the one that really resonated with me. For some reason that glowing shape clue, which only showed in the dark, was super ominous to young me! Do you remember Button Moon too? Mostly just the intro song.

[@nicolasheperd9908]

This show really helped with my reading. They should repeat this now.

[@LuckyToucan-xs6ru]

Yeah i had plenty of MAGIC MAGIC E'S back in 2000 which totally wrecked me lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gingered3311]

According to the credits Dark Towers was made in 1981, which explains the similar synth music you hear in Sci-Fi shows around that time in Boy From Space, Doctor Who & Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy. The music matches perfectly with these shows making them memorable to kids. Great work.

[@fantasytestcards]

Roger Limb and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop were responsible for a lot of the, 'sci-fi', type music of the time.

[@hooksncrosses3419]

The three ghosts really stuck in my head. All these years (33!!!) I still remember them.

[@ZulkifliJamil4033-x6s]

You mean ghostly, ghastly and ghoulish?

Build Yourself A Word and Magic E are forever popping up in my head

[@BLMT-df4on]

songs composed by roger limb and the bbc radiophonic workshop

[@catsdogsandlego10000]

I remember the builder song the most

[@DragonNexus]

Same here. Every now and then the damn thing pops into my head. I'm 33, dammit! I've not watched the show for 28 years and it will never leave...

[@fukkingusernames]

Same (to both of you)

[@lionheart11381]

@@DragonNexus me too. I find myself singing it randomly. Why don't you build yourself a word. Just shows they had it right if we remember it decades later. X

[@andypreston1524]

Oh yes, what a classic !! I'm knocking on 47 now but it's really fresh in my mind still !!

[@HubertCumbadale02]

I learnt Magic E when I was little...I grew up and in my teens I learnt about a different magic E :P

[@Munkfish-TV]

Who else thinks that their comprehension of words was totally supercharged with Look and Read? :-D

[@hooksncrosses3419]

Absolutely

[@Venom-or4sn]

MAGIC MAGIC E

[@sagittariusa2283]

[@Nige031077]

Has anyone got the video where Wordy tries to read the Roman numerals at the end of the program? I had it once, but it disappeared.

[@maryevans]

Wish I’d never watched rude bill the brickyard lol I love look and read

[@warchild100]

Ahh the 80s a simple time.. before the eu messed up uk

[@farmersteve129]

@kalemdor1 Wrong! the UK joined the EEC in 1973, not the EU which was not created until 1993 as part of the Maastricht Treaty, it was this treaty combined with the Lisbon Treaty (2007) that created the legal structure that we recognise as the modern EU that seeks to override the sovereign powers of the individual member nations.

[@nord1486]

We all need a bit of magic E

[@walterkleber9149]

Mrs Fullstop Lollipop is so damn creepy

[@RichXbox360]

Even when I was 5 (about 33 years ago) I thought the Wordy thing was annoying.
