8. Watch With Mother - Bizzy Lizzy


First  watched : Uncertain

This  replaced  Tales  of  The  Riverbank  on  Mondays  from  30.12.68. My  memories  of  it  are  scant  indeed, little  more  than  word  association  with  my  gran's  basic  enquiry  "Have  you  done  a  bizzie ?"  which  may  or  may  not  have  been  fitting.

This  was  another  Maria  Bird  puppet  effort, albeit  of  more  recent  vintage  , which  was  originally  a  short  insert  in  the  Picture  Book  programme  which  proved  popular  enough  for  a  spin-off  series  made  in 1967. Lizzy  had  a  dress  with  a  magic  flower  which  gave  her  four  wishes  a  day  the  first  of  which  was  always to  bring  her  doll  to  life, Little  Mo, the  Eskimo (  that  rings  the  vaguest  of  bells  now ) .
