Hearing Tommy Steel do 'A Handful of Songs' brought back vague memories of the kids TV series of the same name. All I can remember is a couple in rainbow coloured trousers clutching accoustic guitars and encouraging us to sing along at home.

Perhaps they were like a trendy version of The Singing Kettle? It must have been hell for our parents.
Here's the story behind the show on this fan site. Alltogether now: 'How much is that doggie in the window...'
