Whilst searching the 1975 Listener pages I found a programme that I certainly do not recall at all, but I wonder if this is of interest to others.
The programme was called Wooly Hills. I suspect it was a kid's show, though the listing never made it clear. I also suspect it may possibly have been a forerunner to the 1980's series Wooly Valley. Can anyone confirm this please?
Wooly Hills was billed as:
"Life on a hill-country sheep station, featuring antics of colourful characters who work there, along with 'Screech' the Kea and 'Mouldy' the Ram."
The characters/actors were
Cornstarch... Kevin Wilson
Robin........... Annie Holden
Charlie ........ Olly Ohlson
Blue ............. Endel Lust
I noted some of the episodes too in case anyone is interested for future research. They went out on Thursdays at 4.10pm, on TV2 (then independent)
06 Nov 75 - "Sheep - And a Wedding"
13 Nov 75 - "A Day At The Show"
20 Nov 75 - "Dogs"
27 Nov 75 - "Machinary"
04 Dec 75 - "Growing Things"
11 Dec 75 - "Wool"
18 Dec 75 - "Conservation - And Preparing For Christmas"
25 Dec 75 - "Christmas Day" (seemed to be the final)
