Intro for Rocky Hollow. Ill find the real theme for it without windows movie maker or webcam. Now here's a forgotten series. Acorn, Sycamore, Mr Oak, Miss Myrtle, Conker
and Rosie Woodpigeon dwelled in the sunny woodland glade of Rocky Hollow.
The models were designed to look like seed people and were constructed out
of rough tan material - bar Rosie, of course, who was a bird... Acorn was Mr Oak's playful nephew, keen on skateboarding and generally
gambolling about with his best mate, scarf-wearing Sycamore, who was a
rather clumsy chap. Mr Oak himself was a rather stuck-up general-type, who
had a soft spot for the salubrious Miss Myrtle. But she, in turn, seemed to
have taken quite a fancy to Conker, who was the red-haired handyman of
the hollow. Rosie, meanwhile, was the pigeon postmistress to them all,
delivering mail around the wood. All dwelled in tree houses, built in to the
trunks of the trees in Rocky Hollow...
Obviously filmed on a shoestring, this was an early production from Ian
Frampton and Bumper Films, who went on to bring us that all-Welsh hero
Fireman Sam and Joshua Jones. All 26 episodes of Rocky Hollow were
released on video during the 80s, and titles included:
The Picnic Spring Cleaning
Keep Fit Ghosts
The Post Bag Treasure
The Operation The Birthday Party
Trivia Hounds will hear Peter Sallis narrating this before striking voice-over gold
with Wallace & Gromit. And it's an interesting predecessor to Oakie Doke
too. Did it have any influence on the Cosgrove Hall character? - I guess we'll
never know...
