The series was Watch With Mother & tails of the Riverbank wasn't part of it
| Watch with Mother website wrote: | Originally called 'For The Children', 'Watch With Mother' was an umbrella title for a variety of children's programmes that began in 1950 and endured until 1980 in a midweek lunchtime slot on BBC television. The new title was to compliment the radio version 'Listen With Mother', for which a generation of youngsters would hang on the words "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin."
'For The Children' had begun as a five-minute slot in 1946 and was introduced by Annette Mills (sister of actor Sir John), and 'starred' Muffin The Mule, a wooden horse that stood atop a grand piano. The pair proved so popular that they were given their own series and were joined by Oswald The Ostrich, Mr Peregrine The Penguin, Prudence and Primrose Kitten, Sally The Sea-Lion, Louise The Lamb and Monty The Monkey. Muffin's strings were pulled by puppeteer Ann Hogarth who had bought him for just 15 shillings (75p). Muffin's last TV appearance with Annette Mills was in 1955, just days before she died. By that time the BBC had installed the regular 1.30 pm Tuesday to Thursday slot consisting of 'Andy Pandy', 'The Flowerpot Men', and 'Rag, Tag and Bobtail.' In 1955 these were joined by 'Picture Book' (Monday) and 'The Woodentops' (Friday). |

I remember those programmes, but only from the late '60s.
Tales from the Riverbank was a later addition, along with The Herbs, Mary, Mongo & Midge, Pogles Wood, Camberwick Green, then much later, Mr Benn & Bagpuss ____________________ Enjoy everyday, tell those you love everyday you love them

I can clearly remember Andy Pandy, The Wooden Tops and Bill & Ben. But not Rag Tag. Vague memory of Pinky & Perky (don't think they were regularly on).
Fireball XL-5 and Stingray were good, especially the fish. It all went downhill from there, probably as a result of my increasing age.  ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!"

Click
As stated Tales of the Riverbank was later so that leaves me with two gaps. The gaps are Rag Tag and Bobtail and Picture Book.  ____________________ Bikers make great organ donors, get 115 on your licence today.
