What was your favourite Look and Read story, if you can remember that far?

Question

For those who aren't that old, Look and Read was a literacy project put out by the BBC in the late 60s and is still running now. It was put out in my primary in the early 80s and I irritated my teacher by reading the script out loud!

Through the Dragon's Eye was shown today on CBBC. Sadly there was no Wordy!

Fretting Not - the story was 'Fairground'.

Answer 1

Wow !
I remember Look & read, my favourite story was Dark towers. i dont know what year it was on, or if it was ever repeated. and a liked Badger girl (i thought she was cute -with her punky hair).
Everybody now WHY DONT YOU BUILD YOURSELF A WORD...

Answer 2

Oh my god I was watching Look and Read this morning and I was trying to think of a particular Look and Read story that I liked. I can't remember what it was called but there was one about a fairground. That's about all I can remember and it was from the late 80's!! There was another one, but I can't remeber any of it.

I remember having to do work based on the Look and Read programmes but what was it that we used to do - I can't remember!!

The one I watched this morning I was thinking oh my god this is crap!! In fact it was called Through the Dragon's eye!! It was on one of the BBC kids cable TV channels!!
