Tales From Europe

In the 60s I wasn't into Hendrix or the Stones or Leapy Lee. I was too young for all that, I was only 12 when the decade ended. But we had some lovely TV progs. You may have heard of 'Watch With Mother', for the little kiddies, but for my age group we had 'Tales From Europe'. Both 'Watch With Mother' and 'Tales From Europe' were umbrella titles for a diverse range of programmes. 'Tales From Europe' were on BBC1 on Thursdays at 5.25pm or 5.30pm after Blue Peter and before the 6pm news. They were dubbed and narrated, and introduced by Peggy Miller. Who? I don't remember but I always think of her as looking like Bunty from 'How!'.

If you want details of what was on and when, then select one of these below. Some of the stories have been repeated after the 60s, often in colour, but not as part of 'Tales From Europe' which had ended. The information comes from old copies of the Radio Times at Westminster Reference library.
