Jamie and the Magic Torch:
Complete Series 1

Distributed by
PT Video


Damn, I wanted one of those bloody things, just as I did with the old comic strip favourite Laser Eraser.

Jamie and the Magic Torch was the children's TV series which had one of the grooviest theme tunes of all time and ran for three complete series, all of which will be making their way to DVD.

The principle behind it is that Jamie is a ginger-haired kid who doesn't mind when it's bedtime because his dog Wordsworth emerges from under the bed with that torch. Jamie shines it on the floor and it opens up into another world named Cuckooland where they set off down a multi-coloured helter-skelter to have the most bizarre adventures meeting an Einstein-a-like professor named Mr Boo, a helper named Jo-Jo and policeman Officer Gotcha.

It has to be said that what you're about to witness owes a great deal to the Beatles' Yellow Submarine film.

This DVD contains the entire first series of 13 episodes, including :

The episodes presented here are :

1. Mr Boo Loses a Mountain
2. Nutmeg's House
3. Let There Be Music
4. Nutmeg's Box
5. The Runaway Trombonium
6. The Hair Stack
7. Sym-phoney
8. The Flying Rabbit
9. The Magician's Hat
10. The Wicked Wand
11. The House of Wellibob
12. National Wellibob Day
13. Spade-Work

Bouncy! Bouncy!


The picture is in 4:3 fullscreen with some minor print defects, but looks great for a near 25-year-old programme. The average bitrate is a fairly steady 6.73Mb/s.

The sound is in mono which comes across clearly in some episodes, while others sound rather muffled.

There aren't any subtitles but the disc does have a neat animated menu with the classic theme tune in full and the chapter selection surrounding Jamie and Wordsworth. There's one chapter apiece for each of the 11-minute episodes.

Sadly, there's no extras at all to be found on this DVD but I can overlook that given the low price so it's still a must-buy.
