There were two series with eight and five episodes respectively, each programme lasting fifteen minutes. The series has been repeated a number of times. Voices were performed by George Layton, with additional voices by John Telfer. Music was by Benni Lees, and played by Soulyard. The shows featured the everyday adventures of a group of characters living on Pigeon Street, an area of flats and terraced housing in a British city, also home to several pigeons which appeared in each show but only occasionally featured in the plot.
Characters included Clara the long distance lorry driver, her cohabiting partner Hugo the chef, Mr Baskerville the detective, Mr Jupiter the astronomer, Mr Macadoo the petshop owner and two twins, Molly and Polly, who were only distinguishable by the letter M and P on their jumpers.
He also had a dog called Flash; a fast pooch that looked like a scrubbing brush. The other interesting man on the street was Mr Baskerville the detective. He lived on the 13th floor of Skyrise Court Flats, and spent his days wandering the surrounding areas with his magnifying glass and large, wrinkly brown dog Watson.
The contrast between the two gentlemen one who spent his days looking up, and the other who gave the majority of his time to looking at the floor for clues gave rise to their theme tune, High and Low. Elderly ladies Daisy and Rose lived next door to each other, and had opposing views to the feathered friends that occupied their windowsills. Daisy would feed them, and encourage them to stay, while Rose would frighten them off whenever they landed.
The pet shop owner was, as you would expect, an expert on animals, but the most amusing thing about him were the rhymes that cropped up in his theme tune; variously rhyming Macadoo with knackadoo, quackadoo and lackadoo. And finally the pigeons themselves. They also did the animation for another, similar programme called Rub-a-Dub, as well as Words and Pictures and Rosie and Jim , amongst others.
The first series consisted of eight 15 minute programmes, originally broadcast during the See-Saw slot on BBC1 from February 10th to March 31st The final five went out from November 19th to December 17th of the same year. They were repeated occasionally over the years but not enough to really justify how well everybody seems to remember them. And loveable pigeons of course. Log In Sign Up.
