Just brilliant! It's great seeing this again. Loved watching it back in the 70s. I used to rush home from school every day and couldn't wait to get out of the uniform and get sat down in front of the TV for the kids programs. Michael's show was always funny to watch and the puppets still crack me up today after all these years. Timeslip, The Tomorrow People, HOW!, The Children of the Stones, The Ghosts of Motley Hall, The Black Arrow, Arthur of the Britains, Catweazle were some more of my favourites. Certainly brought back some memories. Thanks! 👍
Really cheered me up during covid 19. GOD bless & keep you Michael Bentine. He did a lot of work to get recognition & an eventual apology to the Polish troops, navy and RAF. My parents were both heroic Poles and they met him, several times. Him talking about the Polish RAF was something he could have made into another show. He spoke with such passion
He did do a programme, maybe 40+ years ago, about his involvement with Polish pilots etc. I remember him dancing down an old Bomber command runway singing a Polish song they had taught him. I'm confused about getting an 'apology' for Polish troops though. Apology for what?
Great sketch loved tgis serious. You had to be on the spectrum to come up with something as mad and entertaining as this from my childhood days. Thanks for uploading
I think Michael Bentine must have wrecked his voice pre-recording the other characters' voices in this one. And as for "the British Army marches on its rissoles" - Ha! Ha! Ha! I bet that one went over the heads of most of his young audience!
I’m 15 and agree that this is amazing, my grandmother introduced me to it when we were talking about Bernard Cribbins. She mistook Michael Bentine for Bernard Cribbins.
Can someone please help and remind me of I can remember in my memory, when I used to watch M.Bentine show were there were " invisible feet going across sand etc " whilst talking if I remember correctly? If here on RU-vid too I hope? Many thanks
@@postscript67 He first used it as a segment of his TV series It's a Square World I have his autobiography and he talks about it there. This series predated Potty time by a number of years
==== TIME HAS RUN OUT !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Don't ignore this message... REPENT NOW !! TRUST that God raised Him from the dead !! By FAITH accept JESUS's blood alone as payment for your sins unto Salvation, to escape what's about to happen !!
