As a small child trapped in a 43 year old Woman's body, I'm so glad others appreciate and remember the magical funnel caterpillar too! Until I found this clip last night I was starting to think I'd created it in my mind, as a sort of safe place/happy place! but huzzah! It was real all along. I can't stop watching this clip & giggling! 😂❤ Also now I can stop asking everyone my age if they remember that kids show with the caterpillar with a funnel nose that goes "weeeoooow"... Thank you 'put the telly on' for uploading 😘
That thing terrified me! The way it moves and that noise it makes. Looking at it now I can see it's just a caterpillar but to 5 year old me it was nightmare fuel.
I run music classes for little ones and had been thinking of a way to make a caterpillar to move around when I remembered the start of this programme... I am not sure if this is supposed to be a caterpillar or not but I have now suddenly have had a flash of inspiration as a result of watching these opening credits. I am 40 now but I remember absolutely loving this programme when I was little. Thanks for putting this clip on You Tube.
As a 43 year old Gent, I can honestly say that the thing at the start has always been my spirit guide!

All I ever wanted was for the caterpillar thing to be in the episode…yet it never was.
I’m 43 now, and still not over it.

You were scared of it?

Takes me back...different planet then!
That puppet scared the shit out of me when I was 5
It was very creepy.
What do you know? Me too! I think it was the eyes and sound effects.
They sound like they are singing underwater!
Malcolm proving that he knows the characters from Rainbow. 👏
Listen carefully at 0:08. He says "Geoffrey. George. Bungle and Zippy".
Ah precious memories!
the theme tune used to be on youtube years ago sung by christopher lillicrap but the youtube bastards took it down.
Can't for the life of me decipher the lyrics in the first line still nearly 40 years later 😂
They never did bother putting the title onscreen, since it wasn't aimed at people who could read.
The budget for this song was 5 pence.
Oh weh! 🇿🇲
