The first episode of The Wind in the Willows was originally broadcast on this day in 1984. A Cosgrove Hall production, it featured the vocal talents of David Jason, Richard Pearson, Michael Hordern, Peter Sallis and Ian Carmichael.

I dont understands why ITV destroyed Cosgrove Hall - A dark day for British television production.

It's too beautiful. It makes me so melancholic and nostalgic for my childhood 😞

Surely the most beautiful theme ever written for a children's series? Lovely show and it perfectly captures the book and its characters.

So beautiful. Very special show for me. Made by artists and those voice actors, wow. Nothing like this anymore. We were blessed to grow up and have quality like this.

Is that Ralph McTell on theme tune duties?

I forgot about that. Mr Toad was a nutcase !

It was a brilliant version of the story.

Remember that and the Adventures of Portland Bill (Bless my barnacles)

My favourite book of all time.They more than did it justice

I love ❤️ them and still own on dvd and I'm 51. Thank 😊 you 😘 for your talents 🙏 x
