Great BritainTomorrow (Friday) sees the Frontline Test Match between Great Britain and France at Headingley. UK - Animation - BBC 1 - 1975 - 1976 The simple world of simple cartoon creation. 'Here comes Bod', declared John Le Mesurier - and that was effectively it, for nothing particularly eventful happened in the life of this serene, hapless cartoon character in a yellow dress.
