I know I read it and it messed with my head for years - and I know it was on the telly, but I don't know if I ever saw it, or if I just <I>think</I> I did because the images from the book were so strong.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688439342099359026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-62885670459993648782008-09-12T23:02:00.000+01:002008-09-12T23:02:00.000+01:00I remember The Changes and was going to blog on th...I remember The Changes and was going to blog on them F-C, you thief.<BR/><BR/>didn't they introduce it " And now a Television Programme for older children"?

In fact, I'm humming it now.<BR/><BR/>True what you say about the quality of kids' drama from that period. Another, which nobody seems to remember, was a series called 'The Feathered Serpent', which was set in Aztec-era Mexico. The hero, Prince Heumac, was responsible for producing some very 'funny feelings' in me and my mates.<BR/><BR/>What fun to have brushed shoulders with Peter Duncan. He was never responsible for any 'funny feelings', but he always seemed like a nice chap.<BR/><BR/>Hope the hangover is on its way out. Eat a fried egg sandwich if not. It won't make you feel any better but it'll take your mind off it.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-82940860924145926262008-09-12T14:50:00.000+01:002008-09-12T14:50:00.000+01:00I don't remember - wish I did though, it looks jus...I don't remember - wish I did though, it looks just like my sorta thing.
