h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I know I didn't dream this up, I did watch this as a kid!
My brothers and friends think I made it up as we all remenis about bagpuss, the clangers, the magic roundabout.
"Time flys by when you're the driver of a train", everyone knows that but when I say, "No! Don't go into the woods! The trees are alive and will eat you! Witchy-Poo has set a trap there!" They all look at me like I'm mad and I am but not so mad as to have made up a cartoon-type world with only one real person in it, a young lad (who just happens to look very much like I did in the 70's) trying to escape, doctor who never scared me but this thing did!
Think it was excellent though, if I'm not completely mad!

That's Puffnstuff, not Puffinstuff.

Well i was always keen on bugpass the old cloth cat, or the Clingers who lived on the planet with the soup flagon.

But was it a series or just a film? I remember that we used to watch it every Sunday night, but recently (within the last 7 years) I caught a bit of it on tv, and it was a film.

In one of those spooky coincidences, the only bit I remember from when I was a kid was Witchypoo flying with her sidekick, and she says "give me the wheel" so he does. Cliché but still funny. Anyhoo, that was the bit that was on when I switched over. It was deffo a film though.

Mama Cass was in it.

Thanks Sho!

I've looked into this a bit more and found that it was a series, the one I remember with the evil trees is epispode 17. Here's a site with brief notes on what happens in most of the episodes. I been away to myself, Cling and Clang in the police car thing and HR Pufnstuf is a , the mayor of Living Island and Freddie the magic flute!

oh thanks, you know no matter how long I've been connected to the net (more years than I care to remember)

FH,

And the young lad you say you looked like was Jack Wilde, who played the Artful Dodger in the film musical Oliver!
