Mop and Smiff - The Balloon
"Mop is a shaggy-haired sheepdog, Smiff a bright-eyed tabby cat. They live in the village on the hill, where daydreams are free and wishes come true.
Mop flies a kite, and Smiff takes an unexpected dip."
(Radio Times)
Recorded mostly in and around the village of Belmont in Lancashire. The kite segment was filmed on the farm of Mrs Radcliffe, which later became Mop's resting place.
A BBC Manchester production, first shown on Thursday 25th April 1985 at 3.55pm on BBC1. (This recording is probably from a BBC2 repeat in a subsequent year).
Written and presented by Mike Amatt, who also created Mike, Mop and the Moke which was first broadcast in the same year. He later became a Play School presente...

    I love watching EOPO! My dad was in the cast, so we had the whole lot on Betamax when I was a kid. After almost half a century, though, I’ve just realised how odd it was that my dad (Fred Harris) didn’t play the drums in the Shakespeare rock sketch, because he’d been playing drums for years. Why get someone who’s not a cast member to play the drummer? I should ask him when I next see him.

    • @filmnet
      @filmnet 5 месяцев назад

      I remember reading the interview where he mentioned giving up teaching to be a drummer, so yes it's strange that he wasn't one here. I think I have always enjoyed anything your polymath father has been in, so you can tell him that as well! When I was little: schools maths programmes, Play School and Chock-A-Block (the latter is mostly missing from the archives, sadly). It was only as I got older that I "rediscovered" the computer series and comedies. Best regards, Hassan.

    No TV show has made me laugh as loudly or so often and there's still one more to go. The final episode of End of Part One, whilst funny by normal standards, was disappointing compared to previous editions. Here's hoping they've saved the best for last. If so I can't imagine what...

    I have read of the Test Card F sketch here before in the Test Card Circle magazine at one point although not seen it before. I know it was from about 1978 or 1979 or so at the time. Of course, Test Card F was being shown on BBC1 or BBC2; whereas this was I guess on the ITV network as it was made by LWT in London at the time; I don't know whether Test Card F was on ITV though. Thank you anyway of course too!!

    I used to like Mop and Smiff, for some reason I missed it first time round and I didn't see it until Easter 1987 when I was 7. I heard the sad news about Mike last year, I also read an interview with him where he said Mop and Smiff died in 1989 both aged 14, Smiff first and then Mop within 2 weeks of her. At least they reached a good age and Mike is with them again now

    Dudley Stevens not only plays Shakespeare, but it's his beautiful voice singing the William Shakespeare song---and belting out Shakespeare's rock song. Dudley was a mainstay of The Players Theatre, which kept alive the tradition of Victorian & Edwardian music-hall. Members (often including Dudley, in the 1970s-80s) of the Players did the opening numbers on every episode of "The Good Old Days".
