Hey, Ickle dorritt, which episode of TISWAS? I have 2 videos. My then 2 year old son used to be mad on Lenny Henry's "OOOKAAAAY" character. Being a grown up, we used to come in from the pub on a Saturday night and watch the spinoff programme "OTT".

The Ovaltineys weren't before my time, but I never heard of them until the 70s when someone I worked with used to always be singing the song. We didn't listen to commercial radio when I was a kid, or at least if we were living in the areas where it would be broadcast (London?) I was only about 3. I just used to associate Ovaltine with a girl holding a basket of farm produce!
