Loved the School holidays watching stuff like this, simpler times.
Why wasnt the songs included in the DVD edition. as they are all missing from each episode. Big disappointment and sent the DVd back
Hi - I'm sorry to hear that. I'm afraid I have never had any control of the marketing of the music or of the series, I just co-wrote the music with John the author
@@mikoparsonius The songs was a big part of the show for me and are still lock tight in my memory . Children's shows of the high caliber of Portland Bill, all had great music. Portland Bill was a wonderful show and it took a little while to work out the connection to the shipping forecast. The puppetry and the music are just so charming. Thank you for writing the songs.
sweet childhood memories...! 👍
I loved this as a child! Watching it as a 44 year old I think Cromaty looks a spitting image of Damon Hill.
Thank you for this, was hoping to see the phantom piper episode
8:54 A jellyfish in a hurriance.
8:27 A dolpihn on a trampoline.
Shame they're zoomed in but ah well still happy to see them
Yipeee Im so glad Mik finally uploaded these, been watching the unlisted videos for ages
Taken from BBC Children in Need: Pudsey's TV Classics DVD
Any chance you can re upload these so they are in the correct aspect ratio?
Hello, where to get series 1 episode 13. How come it is missing, do you have any copy of the day the sea froze? Thanks for series 2 uploads, brilliant
Thanks for your comment. If you read the Channel 'About' section you'll see that I am missing two episodes unfortunatley. I recorded the rest onto VHS tape as they were broadcast
Hello, I did read read your about channel info but was hoping someone out there might have a copy of the missing episodes on tape. Many thanks again for uploading series 2. Rare episodes never released on dvd or vhs@@Musicademy10
Used to love this back in the day. Can't imagine why now. Dull and boring. Agree with other comments - the theme tune is the only memorable thing about it.
I’ve been looking for the ‘Football Pie’ episode for ages. Loved the parts where Ross & Cromarty accidentally kicked both their new Football and the Pumpkin (Which they mistaken it for their football) through Mrs. Lundy’s window. But they sure do play better Football 😂
I remember watching this on VHS. My brother and I still quote "try banging it with the TV Times" when something breaks!
if portland bill creators of postman pat 1:32
Aww this brings back memories, Seahouses holidays with my cousin and her family.. This was one ofnour favourite things to watch, theme song always got stuck in your head 😊 simpler days
Utterly charming...
Keep these S2 eps coming ^^
The Eddie Stone song was buzzing round my head... Found it!😊
I used to love this. Even now it makes me smile at 44 😊
Never seen these before, but know the episode word for word! Had this on vinyl as a kid, and would listen to it most nights.
10:27 wait what that a big egg is it possible for a Parrot to lay a egg that size
Watched this as a kid when it was first on tv, have NEVER forgotten the theme song since.
Such an amazing show.
I remember watching this with my Grandma.
It's absolutely fantastic I'm glad to see the Portland bill has come back
Thanks - I think after 37 years, they should be available to see !
What the hell am I watching
Portland Bill the classic 1980 kids tv show
