i loved the 70s.....my sister was alive and my grandparents were, my dads health was good.....

Our Programmes had some Great Themes back in the 60s and 70s and I recorded lots of them instead of pop songs. They 'meant something ' to us youngsters, and still do to us (now older people).

I'm 58 years old. I have heard this tune since I was 7 years old. Love this ❤.

Even the first few notes send a chill up my spine and give me goosebumps! I find it a strangely sad tune too =(

The 70s had the best TV themes

Takes me back to such good times 👌 Please take me back to the 70’s, it’ll never return to such great times.

I WATCHED EVERY EPISODE, I HAD THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON GILLIAN BLAKE, AS SOON AS THE MUSIC STARTED I WAS TRANSPORTED TO HAREWOOD HOUSE WHERE FOLLYFOOT WAS FILMED IT WAS BRILLIANT, SUPERB FAR BETTER QUALITY THAN THE MUCK THEY PRODUCE NOWADAYS. THANKYOU FOR KEEPING MINE AND OTHER PEOPLES MEMORIES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL, ATMOSPHERIC PROGRAMME ALIVE.

a loverly theme from good old british tv

I just loved this as s kid, Dora was a beaut in her day!

Fabulous programme, great mix of characters, a beautiful setting, and some surprisingly poignant messages in the story lines. This also fuelled my love of horses and taught me that they are a responsibility for life. I bought mine as a 12 year old and he made it to 27, happy and active to the end.

loved watching this years back and the theme song absolutely brilliant

Loved follyfoot and it's where my love of horses began and I was lucky enough to have my own and be with them for over 40 years xx

Huge,gorgeous dollops of childhood nostalgia!.....loved this,Robinson Crusoe and my all time favourite The Flashing Blade...there's a theme tune that simply can't be topped!

Take me back to the early 70s and it has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of tv theme music... ever !

The 70's what a great era... My wife and I have such great memories.

I loved this Series when i was a kid in 1971, now i m 60, takes me back in Time, listening to the intro😊

i was so invested in this show but the theme tune stayed with me for many years so thanks jackie lee xx

This was my favourite show and I had my hair cut exactly like the heroine when I was about 15!

I can never remember any of the details of the series itself beyond it being set on a farm....... but THIS 'greatest of all kids theme 'SONGS' [I specify 'song' as it is lyrical and we all know that for INSTRUMENTALS nothing will EVER beat 'Robinson Crusoe's sheer haunting power] has NEVER left me. Closely followed by Ace of Wands but I think IK'm the last person alive that can remember that!

@@AndrewHalliwell Ah, White Horses! The theme song from that can reduce me to jelly at the overload of 1970s nostalgia. I know it was a rough time for many people with the oil crisis, Winter of Discontent etc. (I remember my dad complaining about the price of petrol going over a pound a gallon) - but I was a kid and I remember it as a sort of golden wonderland... funny how perspective is everything.

Great bit of writing this. Lovely modulations from minor to tonic major for the chorus and back again for the verse. Lovely

god i loved this when i was little, i raved soooo much about it to my grown up kids they got me the whole box set 4 xmas,guess what.?? still love it.,thanx kids for making your old mum happy lol xxxxxx can i have a horse now. lolxxxx

62 here and I loved summer holidays TV shows like all the others mentioned and the flashing blade

Marvelous. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Some of the incidental music was from the Chappel music library and one particular track also features in 'The Prisoner's' 'The Chimes of Big Ben' episode. I often watch the opening titles over and over again. Dear Arthur English as Slugger was hilarious but was only a comedy support. He deserved his own story lines. Originally watched this in the 70's when it was 1st shown but my memory of 'Randall & Hopkirk' and 'Catweazle' is earlier.

THANK YOU, FOLLYFOOT, SWEET MEMORIES. FANTASTIC CHILDHOOD TIMES

I loved this as a child and have loved horses ever since,must admit had a crush on Steve.

I've had this tune going round in the back of my mind for that last 30 years... Found out tonight is called "lightning tree" and that is from Folly Foot is TV show! Jeez... Shame kids don't have proper TV like this nowadays!

The children's TV program "Follyfoot" was shown on Australian TV in the early to mid 1970's & the theme song "Lightning Tree" which was sung by The Settlers was a chart hit here too. I haven't heard the song or seen images of the TV program since then. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Can't believe I have never seen this series! I'm 47, and i loved Black Beauty, Lassie, the Littlest Hobo, etc. So, how did I miss out on this??

Oooh I haven't heard this since I was a kid and I could sing along immediately. Thanks so much!!

I’m 58. Saturday morning tv 50 years ago

Watched religiously then galloped across the park ( no real horse required ) to meet my best friend Gina and relive the whole program again. Wonderful.

what a theme tune! You dont get them like this anymore!!!!!!!

Loved this girl when I was a young teenager....but she never stopped crying FFS!

Charming 70's series

was the first ever thing i saw on our tv when my parents bought a new black and white when i was about 8 or 9,, its haunted me ever since and i ,ve loved the theme and the series,,,superb british series,,

This is wonderful! I had forgotten about this show. I remember watching this when I was 9 or so. Came to Canada when I was 10 1/2. Brings back happy memories!!!

If only I had a time machine, loved this programme as a child.

I can't get enough of this classic..thank you Jackie.x

This was shown Saturday mornings between a kids show called Saturday Scene introduced by Sally James. I remember it well, especially the theme by The Settlers.

Gillian Blake! We had some beautiful "older" women on children's tv when I was the right age! My formative years were full of dreams about them!! Beautiful theme to a great programme by the way!!!

I've just helped my pub quiz team win as a result of remembering this great programme.

lol me too at 61. love this song beautiful memories ❤

Such a lovely theme tunes .enjoyed the program when on the tv.

The 70s was a young people's world. Clash of old and new generations with different mindsets

I loved that serie so much.

Lovely Gillian was always crying her eyes out, but I would love to console her.

wow, this takes me back a bit 😆

i forgot this program i saw this sunday evening before bedtime i was a little girl. i loved it and the music is great.

yep....63...and I remember it all....was on bbc during summer hoildays...( there was only bbc1 and itv then...]

Loved this programme. Thanks for the memory. xx

The theme music for this sounds like music you would find in the classic horror film The Wicker Man with Edward Woodward

Gillian Blake.... Ahh Gillian Blake! My first schoolboy fantasy crush? Yup, I'd say so! Never missed an episode! x

Excellent series, that was when television was worth watching.

I admit I am too young for this show, a friend that watched it cited it as one of this favourite tv programs as a child so I checked it out. I am perhaps of the wrong generation to really enjoy the plot but the theme is just fantastic even by todays standards. I often return and listen to this amongst old themes I that personally remember, just because I feel it's so good it's a show I would've watched if I was older.

Such a good programme!!

Who can remeber entire albums of theme tunes being released? I listen to this and feel old, but boy do I enjoy it, not only did we have decent theme tunes we also had decent programmes, and did they keep us coming back for more! I miss them. When I have seen excerpts of childrens t.v. recently, I can only think what do the powers that be think they are doing, I also agree that too many anouncers now speak over theme tunes.

Reminds of my childhood in the early '70s and all those gorgeous birds, I never copped off with.

Sung with real conviction!, themes as they were meant to be! :)

agree - there is something witchy and haunting about this song.

Only remember watching a single episode but the theme has always stuck in my head.

The 70's, I agree cucmber face!! A glorious time!!

Loved this when I young, still love the theme though.

Great tune ❤️

I loved watching Follyfoot Farm. I was a teenager when this was on.

March '24. For the wonderful Mr Christian Rodska AKA Ron Stryker in Follyfoot. Great memories of Christian,Dora, Steve, Slugger [Arthur English] and the Colonel. Christian was the loveable Happy as Larry rouge Mr Get it done, Foot in the mouth Ron. I really enjoyed Follyfoot, the theme, the settings, the whole cast. One of the best TV programmes ever. I am not 67 and actually watched many episodes in 2023. God Bless Christian Rodska May you Rest in Peace. Thank you for the many happy decades of wonderful memories.
