 "Yoffi" always creeped me out! They were still showing this in the late 70's and early 80's which was when I saw it and even then beardy weirdies were well out of fashion!

One also can't help but wonder if Rick Jones was stoned doing these since it's now known he would get stoned to do "Play School" with Lionel Morton!

 This is almost a like a womb-memory for me. As a kid of 1 or 2, I used to be glued to the TV when this was on. I didn't realise that memories sank in at that age - I thought I was just living in the now...

As far as I remember, they showed this in the UK just before the afternoon-TV close-down around 1pm in the afternoons. I think this was part of the Watch with Mother time-slot, along with other shows like Camberwick Green, Chigley and Trumpton. Ahh, the good old days when we were forced to do something else rather than chill out to stimulating TV.

After close-down, I would usually take a nap, from all the bombardment-of-life stimulus like playing Lego, drinking milkshakes made from powdery chemicals, watching raindrops cascade down the window and trying to eat a Tunnock's Tea Cake whole. Thank God you can still get those - otherwise I'd be lost in a non-caring, anchorless world of post-modernism.

I've just re-watched the You Tube clip, and have the following observations:

1) Yoffi and Arthur Brown - Separated at birth?
2) Yoffi's voice is post-synched, making his deliberately chilled actions even more chilled and deliberate.
3) "And a tortoise head peeps out..." Viz Comic gave this expression a whole new meaning in the coming years (read: touching cloth)
