Follyfoot

“Follyfoot” – 1971


Avery haunting opening title both for the music and the titles themselves, the song actually became a chart hit too. Made by Yorkshire TV between 1971 and 1973 , the programme combined beautiful horse with teenage adventure and made it a tea time classic for all the family.
Arthur English also appeared in Are You Being Served during the 1970s.

70’s Televison

What an amazing piece of kit our telly was. Can you imagine having to change channel by turning a knob to tune in BBC2 and forever getting up to realign the aerial and contrast, and the only way to stop the picture from rolling was to give the set a good thump? Do you remember that we only have three channels to watch? Thinking about it, the conversation was better at school next day as everyone seemed to be watching the same thing unlike nowadays where we have too much choice. Aye, the quality of programmes seem to have dwindled when you think back to what we had in our days.
