The Complete Flumps (DVD)

I know many of the you out there may not remember this kids show that I remember watching as a small child on Sunday mornings around about the time that Bagpuss was on. Like Bagpuss there were only 13 episodes made but it seemed like many more than that back then. Repeats didn't seem to matter so much as they were only on once a week and children's tv wasn't available so much as it is now. We were lucky to have a couple of hours a day and so I think ...
...hats or bows depending on the character. They had small movable arms and legs and waddled a bit when they walked. The Background The series made in 1976 was created by Julie Holder as well as writing it.

One of my favourites that I talk about is THE FLUMPS. I adored this. So I was really pleased when I went shopping with my little girl (to get her a video) and ...
...When I saw the slogan RELIVE YOUR WASTED YOUTH, thats exactly what I did. I put little one to bed and left the over half working hard on Ciao. I put this on. Boy did it bring back memories. This video has all 13 episodes that were ever made (just shows you how often they repeated them coz it seems like there were loads). THE FLUMPS were like little lumps of fur with two little feet and dodgy arms that came out level with where their ears were. ...
