Many years ago ( early '70s) I watched a British children's show called Follyfoot. It had an awesome theme song (The Lightning Tree) that stayed with me. Well, last night curiosity struck. I hunted it down and we watched the first five episodes. After a roughish start, the actors leaned into their roles and the show struck its stride. It was better than I remembered. We're another three episodes in tonight.

Here's The Settlers doing the theme live.

Had the #Follyfoot theme in my head this morning, then decided to look up #Catweazle. Everything looked so dark then. #earworm #Ohrwurm #TV #UK
#Follyfoot (1971-1973)
Young Dora is sent to stay with her uncle on his farm in rural England while her parents travel overseas for a year. Seeing as she has a love for horses, her uncle suggests she visit Follyfoot Farm, which is a part of his estate that looks after unwanted and unloved horses. It is only here that Dora feels truly happy, but what will happen when her parents return?
