Genuinly creeped out at the cliffhanger to chapter 2.
Watched this on telly when it was first broadcast

I think I must have been too young to fully appreciate it, but there is one thing which has stuck in my mind for almost 35 years:

"Huffity, puffity, Ringstone Round,
If you lose your hat it will never be found,
So pull your britches right up to your chin,
And fasten your cloak with a bright new pin,
And when you are ready, then we can begin,
Huffity, puffity, puff!"
