PIE IN THE SKY
Made by: BBC
Shown on: BBC1
Years shown: mid 80s

This was a bit of an oddity for pre-school children, and goodness only knows how it was dreamt up. Iain Lachlan (of Fingermouse fame) was the Pieman, who made pies for the children of his village - but before he handed them over, he called upon some kind of spaceman (Playschool’s Ben Thomas) to fill the pies with a song. Cue lots of slightly fatiguing sing-a-longs. The Pieman had a Piewife too (played by Chloe Ashcroft) which doesn’t sound like much of a career for any modern woman, being determined by your husband’s job title.

Who remembers this one.............. Can't find any video on utube etc.

Did he deliver the pies on a bicycle and it would have antennae coming out of the pie as well?
