In recent years, there has been much discussion as to whether The Sopranos, or perhaps The Wire, can claim to be The Greatest Television Ever Made.
They can't, wonderful as they are. It is a little known fact that the high-point of art on the small screen was reached in 1981, right here in the UK. And this is it.
Nothing, (I find), is quite as sublime as watching The Moog exclaim "My name is The Moog. And I...Am...An...Elephant!!!"
Kenneth Williams was a genius and this is, oddly enough, probably his finest legacy. Delicious.

Wonderful 70s Nostalgia
Review date: 2006-12-08 Rating: 10 out of 10
I find I must disagree with the previous reviewer. I think it has aged just fine. I have 3 kids aged between 4 and 10, and they, as well as me, love it.
I'll agree that Keneth Williams is a genius, but not that the story lines haven't aged well. This is pure kids' fantasy, so ageing story lines have very little to do with anything. The animation is very good for its' time too. This DVD is a must for all british kids under 40 yrs of age!!
An Interesting throwback

I remember watching this as a kid at 5.35pm just before the news,and to be honest nearly 25 years later i must admit it hasnt aged very well,the best thing still is Kenneth Williams voices the man is a genuis ,but the scripts are just not that good,they arent funny and to be honest i dunno if they would interest the kids of 2006 .Worth buying if you are interested in KW but maybe one for the parents rather than the kids.
