I doubt many people will vote this comment as useful, but I just loved the Flumps! I was one of millions of wee kiddies that sat cross-legged with grins from ear to ear as Pootle and his pals entertained us. I was Pootle's biggest fan, loved his wiggle dance(!) and my mum even called me Pootle as a nickname!! (Unfortunately she did this till I was about 12!) Flumps rule!! Bring 'em back asap! (Wombles were nothing to the Flumps, nothing!)
Looking at the characters now in all their furry, spherical glory, brings back so much to me and genuinely makes me all warm and childlike again. They are one of the under-celebrated kids' TV programmes ever, and I find that quite sad. I'm sure there are so many grown up kids(!) now that would melt at the sight of the Flumps and utter those clichéd words, 'Oh blimey, I remember them!'. And so they should.
