almost certainly Sunday

There's the answer. We were force fed with Dickens classics on the Beeb at that time.

the great thing about the program, replicated in others as well was that it skated over the problem of adults befriending children, without other adults ever knowing, in a really harmless way. Charming is the word I think

Aye, tons of programmes did that, and we never thought there was anything dodgy about it. I'll agree on "charming" as a description.

It was broadcast in two 13 episode seasons on ITV starting 15/02/1970 and 04/04/1971 at 17:30.
