This first episode of this much-loved kids series explores all things to do with lighthouses. It begins with a visit to Nugget Point; then things get eclectic. Earnest informational TV is interspersed with psychedelic graphics, cartoons, original sea-shantys ("I want to marry a lighthouse keeper"), and funky lighthouse-themed songs. We meet Don (a lighthouse stamp collector); uncover the mysteries of how a ship fits into a bottle; and the three young presenters deconstruct their attempts at painting lighthouses, including a fine abstract effort from Ray. Classic.

That was really interesting, and such a flashback!
Lighthouse keepers had such a lonesome existence, but that one was at least attached to the mainland.
Thanks for that. :)

Hahaha! This is gold! I've always remembered Spot On as a kid, I my brother and I always remember Ray and his magnificent doo. We must have been too young to appreciate the very cute Erin.
