Your challenge for the day

[dawny]

Nope, can't remember, do remember the fireman names though but I have a 'thing' for men in uniform

Me too Hayley!! Though its not firemen for me its policemen!!

[Hilary B]

Yeah, it begins with H!
Never quite managed to make out all the firemen's names, but no problem remembering (especially since I found a Chigley episode on YouTube, which not only had that, Windy Miller's song, and his Lordship's train, but also Jonathon Bell, and the Baker's van! Windy Miller was always a favourite of mine.)
I watched that lot with my little ones, who are now VERY growed-up!

We didn't have a telly when I was little ........I had a deprived childhood

[Jeanied]

No, but I can tell you who D, D, D, B, M and T were!

[pjh75]

For those of us of a certain age (and above).

Can you name the fifth toy (without resulting to Google);

Big Ted
Little Ted
Humpty Dumpty
Jemima

This is the result of an inter-office conversation we've had this after noon.

So's not to spoil it for our evening viewers, just state 'yes' if you know the answer.

Yes, apparently the tv presenters used to call that toy the ugly one.

[Flummery]

Yep. What an ill-favoured dolly that was! My kids loved the programme.

[NewbieGardenerRow]

I remember it and always wondered who thought of such a stupid name for a really boring doll!
I also remember always wishing that they went through the arched window and used to be most miffed when it was one of the others
P.S. I preferred Pipkins myself

I always thought so too.Yep,I remember.
I can still remember when we were little enough to play pretend games everyone wanted to be Jemima and not her(how strange to think I used to pretend to be any of them)

[sewer rat]

yep - the dark haired doll with the personality bypass

[lettucegrow!]

This is really sad 'cos I used to watch said program but don't remember the 5th toy. I've googled it and I still don't remember the doll. Obviously didn't make any impression on my brain cells whatsoever! or I've just blocked her out 'cos the reviews on google aren't favourable!

[Glutton4...]

You mean P, P, B, M, C, D & G?

There's no M!

They used B's surname, it began with M!

[ginger ninger]

Yup, I never liked it...I don't like them.

[taff]

I really really hated that doll.It was grubby and dirtyand not at all a girls dream thing.

Then I got older, got a girls world for some reason, and promptly turned it into a punk.

[HeyWayne]

All those deriding said 'scruffy doll' will be pleased to find out that she was replaced by a black doll - due to changing social attitudes of the time, and the fact that she was getting a bit 'fragile'. According to t'interweb.

Oh, and G4, there is an "M" it was just my comma that was misplaced/surplus to requirements.

I'll have to let ya off then!
