This production is highly (and I mean highly !) evocative of happy days in the early 90's, when the world was a far more wholesome and decent place! It's from the days when the BBC would create a simple production - particularly childrens' productions, with professional yet simple acting, simple sets, simple graphics, and just generally reflective of simpler days. Essentially it's based on the classic childrens' books ..."
