Related information: Watch with Mother was a cycle of children's programmes created by Freda Lingstrom and Maria Bird. Broadcast by BBC Television from 1952 until 1975, it was the first BBC television series aimed specifically at pre-school children, a development of BBC radio's equivalent Listen with Mother, which had begun two years earlier. In accordance with its intended target audience of pre-school children viewing with their mothers, Watch with Mother was initially broadcast between 3:45 pm and 4:00 pm, post-afternoon nap and before the older children came home from school.[1] The choice of Watch with Mother for the title of the series was intended "to deflect fears that television might become a nursemaid to children and encourage bad mothering".[2] Watch with Mother (BBCV 4091) 5 October 1987 Picture Book: "Paper Lanterns"Andy Pandy: "Pram" Flowerpot Men: "Seeds"Rag, Tag and Bobtail: "The Hazel Twig" The Woodentops: "Introduction" Background - I worked in the UK video distribution industry from 1982 to 1994. Each week I received a delivery of video sleeves for the future new releases and also video posters and other point-of-sale material. Around 1985 I started collecting the posters and other interesting promotional items. Between one and several of each went straight from the large flat cardboard shipping packaging in which they were received from the distribution warehouse in London, into cardboard boxes. Later I bought large plastic stacking crates that enabled posters up to 20 x 30" to be stored flat. The larger ones were loosely folded as required to fit into the crates. Some posters came pre-folded from the printers. The common approximate sizes: 24" x 17" (60cm x 42cm)27" x 18" (68cm x 45cm) e.g. Warner28" x 20" (70cm x 50cm)31" x 20" (80cm x 50cm)33" x 24" (85cm x 60cm) e.g. RCA40" x 30" (102cm x 76cm) Quad, One-SheetBanner posters, usually around 12" x 60" The crates have been stored in dry, dark conditions with little disturbance. Therefore most of the items are in very good condition considering their age. This is commonly known as "A1" or "Near-mint". The posters have never been displayed or exposed to direct sunlight, therefore I am listing as "NEW" rather than used. They have been handled with care a few times during their journey through time and space to the present day, and any defects collected along the way will be mentioned in the listing. All are original posters that came direct from the UK film distributors. I am slowly going through them, and any duplicates I find, along with others that don't interest me personally for my own collection, are being listed for sale. SHIPPING Posters will be carefully rolled with protective paper and shipped in tubes, sent using a tracked service of Correos, the national postal service of Spain. Sometimes pre-folded posters are sent flat in cardboard envelopes. TAXES The packaging is marked "Printed Paper", and so far I have never been asked to provide customs paperwork, and I have never heard of any buyer being asked to pay import duties or taxes in the destination country, other than any country-specific purchase tax that is added by eBay at the time of purchase.
