"Tiger Tim"
INCE the Nesta Pain productions, particularly the ones on the ant and the spider, I have not heard anything presented in a more entertaining way than the BBC Dear Boys and Girls, a survey of comics. Specially written music underlined many of the statements; the editor, characters from the comics themselves, and the narrator for intervening comic script all had their own voices. There was no _ padding, although one might imagine that it would take longer to cover the same ground when using all these devices. Probably the most surprising thing brought.to. light in the first of these talks (which I have heard twice, from
4YC and 3YC) is the fact that a visual convention can go on with a life almost completely separate from the changing world in which we live. "Tiger Tim" is immortal. Parents should be reassured by findings on the usual British comics dealt with in this session, "4 Space" and all that is yet to comé, and I am waiting impatiently for the next part of Dear Boys and Girls in the hope that I shall not be cheated out of it by circumstances beyond my control, as I was when it was broadcast from Dunedin.
