THE CAST

Narrator
John Le Mesurier

 

Bod


The main character of this bizarre British kids TV show was a little bald lad called Bod (who wore a yellow dress!). 

John Le Mesurier narrated, introducing the arrival of all the characters in turn . . . . Aunt Flo, PC Copper, Frank the Postman and Farmer Barleymow were the main inhabitants of Bod's world. 

The show also featured an animal orchestra led by a frog conductor called Alberto. Alberto would celebrate every recital with a milkshake. The series was animated by Denise Shackell and Alan Rogers for "Bodfilms Ltd".

Bod was actually a very abstract show for children (and more than a little creepy in a strange way). Most kiddies probably walked away at the end of an episode thinking “what the hell was that all about?”. 

"Bod" – It’s not even a name - it's an acronym to describe a Top Secret hideous experiment gone wrong!. If any readers ever successfully worked out the plotlines or story behind Bod, please let us know !
