    6 x 30 minute episodes

    The elephant is a pretty bird,
    It flits from bough to bough,

    It builds its nest in a rhubarb tree,
    And whistles like a cow

    This short-lived crackpot kids comedy from Thames Television had a permanent cast of five; Richard Beckinsale (fresh from The Lovers), Paul Whitsun-Jones, David Rowlands, John Gould and Ann Beach.

    Poems, sketches, riddles, comic verse, tongue-twisters and songs were presented along with snippets of work by T.S Eliot, Hilaire Belloc and Spike Milligan.

    The result was guaranteed to make you smile or groan depending on your sense of humour.
