Simon Townsend's Wonder World · from archive tape 143
This is not an episode. It is Simon and Woodrow in the studio, cut from several different afternoon programmes that ended up on one Betamax tape, archive tape 143. Viewers sent in photographs, collections, music and drawings, Simon put them on national television, and then he handed out prizes. (One lucky viewer got a model helicopter, books and a record. Try getting that out of an algorithm.)
The programmes went to air around 1982, going by the news and the music recorded either side of them. None of them has a confirmed broadcast date, so this page does not give them one. The number 143 identifies the tape, not an episode.
