Bod

1975 - 1976 TV-Y 15m 7

The adventures of a little boy called Bod, who lives in a town with his friends Aunt Flo, P.C. Copper, Frank the Postman and Farmer Barleymow. Each episode also featured Alberto Frog and his Amazing Animal Band.

A fondly remembered British children's animated show. Bod is a curious little boy who lives in a small town. Bod has four friends who live nearby and in most editions of the show he meets up with all of them at some point. Bod's friends are Aunt Flo - a little old lady. Frank - the local postman. P.C. Copper - the local policeman and Farmer Barleymow - a local farmer. Each character has their own signature tune. The group have some very small scale adventures often with some moral to them and frequently quite surreal. Every edition of the show originally featured a segment entitled Alberto Frog and his Amazing Animal Band, but a number of these segments are now thought lost. The main story is narrated by John Le Mesurier of Dad's Army fame.
