When I lived in a remote part of Western Australia, the ABC was all we had (apart from the local video store). Those five years shaped me into the BBC loving gal I am today. And THIS show was a huge part of my childhood. It was so sweet and sad and happy and beautiful to watch. The characters were real, funny and endearing. You can buy this series on DVD, if you are up for something great to watch, involving stuffing vicious cats into baskets and fiddling about in cow’s nether regions. I guess it’s like a buttoned-up version of ‘My Family and Other Animals’, even though I have made it sound rather un-buttoned-up.
