Comics, Death and Pipkins

This episode of the podcast celebrating growing up in Britain in the 1970's deals with memories of having a weekly comic delivered by the newsagent and ITV's sometimes underrated lunchtime programming for the under fives.

We discuss A Handful of Songs, Rainbow and Pipkins. Our listener Stuart has particular memories of the death of Mr Pipkin and how that was explained to the young audience many years before a similar, better known episode of Sesame Street did the same following the death of Mr Hooper.
