The Woodentops
The Woodentops is a 50’s Children’s TV puppet show. For
15 minutes every Friday, during 'Watch with Mother',
Mummy, Daddy, Jenny, Willie, Mrs Scrubit, Sam and Spotty
Dog would give viewers an insight into Woodentop's family
farm life, complete with clearly visible strings!
The Woodentops were created and scripted by Feda
Lingstrom. Maria Bird wrote the music, narrated the
programme and also assisted Freda with the scripts.
There were several puppeteers including Audry Atterbury,
Molly Gibson and Gordon Murray, who went on to produce
other Watch with Mother programmes such as Trumpton
and Chigley.
The voices were provided by Eileen Brown, Josephine Roy
and Peter Hawkins.
Each episode began with:
'This is a story about the Woodentops.
There was Mummy Woodentop and the baby and
Daddy Woodentop.
And then there were Willie and Jenny, the twins.
And Mrs Scrubit who comes to help Mummy.
And Sam who helps Daddy Woodentop.
And last of all, the very biggest spotty dog you ever did
see.
And they all live together in a little house in the country'
