I have no idea how, as a child, this was one of my favourite television shows, as opposed to giving me terrible nightmares.
But I think it explains a lot.
Why I've always assumed that every ginger in white cowboy boots is a mayor [kidding].
My early interest in all things 1960s.
The beginnings of my passion for all things English [Jack Wild played a large role in that].
My early attraction to working class London boys who rise to the top...and wear 1960s vintage clothing [I, as a preteen, had a significant crush on preteen Jack Wild].
The disinterest in flutes that can't talk [in other words, why I became a percussionist].
Why I've never smoked pot.
my dad made me watch this show ONE TIME when i was a kid and i'm pretty sure it DID give me nightmares.
