Hi everyone, again, and thanks for the messages.
With re. 'Return to Follyfoot'... I'm afraid that I can remember virtually nothing about the story, such as it was, and am absolutely certain that I haven't got a copy of the manuscript. It was almost 30 years ago and, sadly, in those pre-computer days, I will have typed it out on an old, possibly manual, typewriter and just sent it off! I may have made a photocopy or two, but if so, I cannot find them. I remember that my story had Steve and Dora getting married, as I felt that this was how their relationship would go. I also remember that Ron had long-since left the farm and become quite 'respectable'. I wish I could remember the gist of the story, but I can't! I have a feeling that I also called it "Follyfoot '84" at some point.
Watching the series now I am saddened in a way that the general state of children's television has sunk so low in four decades. Episodes such as 'Hazel' and many others are extremely powerful and feature themes and performances that you'd not find in current children's programmes and would be hard-pressed to find in even post-watershed dramas these days. Follyfoot was an extraordinary series, but, of course, at the time we just accepted it as the norm!
I remember those halcyon days with great affection and Follyfoot will always be a part of them.
