The Flumps

Grandfather Flump (a small lump of brown fur with legs) starred with Pootle (the youngest Flump - perpetually bobble-hatted), Posie, Perkin and their mother and father.

The senior Flump spent most of his days sleeping or playing his Flumpet, while Father Flump did DIY and worked in his allotment. Meanwhile, Mother Flump was always in the kitchen baking something and generally being a stereotypical mother.

One of the most tear-jerking episodes, Moon Shot, concerned Pootle's consternation that the moon appeared to have fallen into a bucket of water. The moment when he realised that it was the reflection of moon in the water, was a heart-breaking piece of British television.

And the narrator, Gay Soper, sounded like she had a really bad cold, which really added to the tension of the whole piece.
