I knew Crow was definitely called Crow, but I had forgotten that the hamster was called Alice until now. Thanks for the correction. You are so right Ruth.

It had a presenter who reminded me of Jeoffry from Rainbow. There WERE versions of the credits with pasta. It depends which series.

There's that tune :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv_xNuyaKWM

Great!! I didn't imagine it hehe. I knew that but I have asked so many people and no one has remembered it. So you have made my day. Of course even better would have been you saying you had an old VHS with loads of episodes on it :) I realise that I probably will never see it again...sad. Yeah that theme tune, I could hum it too. This site really is great, so glad I found it. Thanks Geaf. Hello again. Great!! I didn’t imagine it hehe.

I certainly do remember Watch, and you're right, there doesn't seem to be very much about it on the 'net. It used to be on early in the afternoon on BBC2 if I remember correctly. Like you I vividly remember the theme song (I could hum it for you) and the title sequence was just as you describe, lots of plasticene and shapes and things flying around in patterns and form ing the letters of the title. I'm also vague on what the show actually was about though, but I think your guess of it being science and nature topics sounds about right. By the way, glad you've been enjoying the site! We aim to please! Hi Geaf. I certainly do remember Watch, and you’re right, there doesn’t seem to be very much about it on the ‘net.

I remember watching this and the crow picture was enough to bring it back! Now, I have been browsing your pages after being led here by a very long and laborious, and fruitless(!) google search for a show I really want to find out ANY information about. As you will see, due to the title it is pretty much impossible to find. The show was called 'Watch' and I can remember the theme tune like it was yesterday. We used to have to watch it at primary school! It was one of those education programmes and I imagine it was BBC but even on that I am not sure. I remember the intro.. As the program started you would hear a theme tune with flute type instruments doing a sort of jig type tune...whilst this was happening, on screen would be different materials being shaped and moving all around the screen morphing into different places until they ended up spelling out the word 'Watch' just as the tune came to a stop and then the voice-over would say it at the same time 'Watch'. Hehe. Then the stuff on screen...it would range from plasticine to leaves to pasta...you get the idea..all moving in circles or all over the screen..all done by stop motion I'm sure, with this silly tune and the voice saying Watch, every time there was a pause in the tune. Then the show would start and that's where I get vague!! I'm pretty sure it was a bit of everything kind of a show. It had a couple or more adult presenters and they would be teaching you basic science and things like interesting things to spot in nature, animals nesting, machinery, all sorts of wonderful things to 'watch'! Has anyone else on the planet heard of this? Did I make it up? I KNOW I didn't but I'm starting to wonder if anyone remembers it at all. Do you know if there's a way or a department in the BBC where I might get in touch to ask about it? Thank you for a wonderful site. I am loving just looking through your posts here and remembering all these shows. It's great. Let me know if you remembered this show. :) Wow.
