"If, God forbid, I ever found myself on Mastermind, Yes, yes, thank you, you can stop now, then my specialist subject would be Children’s TV from around the 70’s. Don’t know why I remember this stuff, I just do. There’s one program, however, that I have tried and tried to explain to people and almost without exception, no one remembers it. The ‘almost’ in that last sentence is my Mum, bless her. The name of the program in question? Joe. It had got to the point where I was beginning to think I was one of those kids with an invisible friend, and Mum was just humouring her beloved, ‘artistic’ son. And then comes along http://tv.cream.org and I quote:
JOE (early-mid '60s) BBC Watch with Mother segment animated in similar style to Mary Mungo and Midge, concerning the self same kid whose father ran a roadside transport cafe. Unfortunately, Joe's behaviour in the series left a lot to desired, including throwing mud at an ice cream van... at least, we hope it was mud and not a forerunner of the 'dirty protest' which was to become so popular in high security prisons during the seventies...
