This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Michael Bentine's Potty Time was a mad programme from 1973 aimed at the entire family. Michael Bentine would talk to these tiny figures and they quite often had funny accents (some I think were Scottish). They were like tiny two-inch viking warriors in little armies. I can't quite remember what the point of it was but my dad loved it!

    Brilliantly, madcap, Michael Bentine's Potty Time always made me laugh. I, especially, remember the 'model scenes' (for want of a better description), a bit like the old 'flea circuses'. Mostly re-enactments of battles, tiny, little, invisible people would shout with equally tiny voices and tramp across the scenery, leaving footprints and blowing up miniature bushes etc. Yes, I can remember the larger characters, one of them being Scottish. Silly but good fun.

Do you remember these?
