NEVER Throw Away an Old Pair of Shoes!!!

Advantages: Sweet Little Program - Still Great For Kids After All These Years!
Disadvantages: None....

...cute little kids show from the late 80's was created by James Driscoll and a suprise hit show, that seems to have been forgotten over the years. So imagine my surpise when i was on ebay and saw that it had been released on DVD! All 26 episodes as well let me add! Every episode ever made on one disc! AND All for £5.99!!! The show started with an old shoe repair shop, where the owner could never face throwing away the old shoes, that were beyond repair. ...
...up the shop everynight...this is where we are bound to secrecy....Can You Keep a Secret?......Good!.......The shoes come to life! But not in the back of the shop, no! In SHOE LAND! The very original characters, all had their own houses and personalities, from PC Boot, Trampy to Baby Bootie! Every episode lasted around 5mins, but they got up to allsorts of stuff in that time! The cartoon has stood the test of time and is still as enjoyable now, as ...

Worzels gone down under

Advantages: great family fun for everyone
Disadvantages: none

He was made by the Crowman, who has mystical powers which bring his straw filled creations to life, to scare the crows at Scatterbrook farm, (in Hampshire), but is soon causing trouble around the village, especially when he befriends Sue and John, two kids who just moved ...
...Each episode tends to see Worzel in one scrape or another, usually involving Aunt Sally but sometimes one of his many other acquaintances…. Well, that's the basic story of the creation of Worzel Gummidge, the lovable but very daft scarecrow. * Anyway, back to the review at hand… This new ' down under' series, starring the lovable magical scarecrow, was released in 1987, (six years after the final Worzel Gummidge in England) and given a PG certificate, ...
