It was with fond feelings that I bought a copy of Jamie and His Magic Torch having had the theme tune imprinted on my Brain. Unfortunately that is as far as my memory went.
As opposed to the excellent Danger Mouse or WIllo the Wisp, this is a kidz programme without any elements of interest for people over the age of 5. Like the Yellow Submarine without the origionality or the Beetles. You would need to be drunk or high to appreciate this now a days.
If you have children they may appreciate this but I would have thought they'd prefer something their friends have heard of.

"Jamie and the magic torch" surely belongs close to the top of the list of surreal children's television series of the late seventies. From the sleepy, silent moonlit street on which Jamie lives - we are catapulted (via the thundering and catcy who-could-forget-it piano music) into the totally contrasting world of colours and sounds where the adventures take place. Bizarre and often non-sensical plots, peculiar and abstract (yet devilishly inventive) characters, surreal dream-like background music and neverending landscapes with oddly-coloured trees and skies. Pure quality!
The picture on this DVD is shown in the original 4:3 ratio and the image is excellent - within the confines of it being a fairly old series, it proves to be sharp, clear and colourful with very little noise. Sound also is clear and bright.
