Anyone remember that puppet show with the talking animals, I think it was Woodland Friends or something? Use to watch it after school. My sis and I been trying to find it everywhere but no luck. Can't even find a clip on YouTube. It's like it vanished. Anyone got any leads or, even better, some episodes stashed away?

It's fascinating how certain programs fall off the radar; Woodland Friends you mentioned isn't one I'm familiar with in my years of collecting, but it's common for unofficial or small production runs not to be digitized. I'll dig through my catalogs this weekend and see if anything pops up. Additionally, checking with the BFI or reaching out to television preservation forums could bear fruit.

Hey, I'm new here, but I think the show you're looking for may actually be Forests & Fantasies. I'm basing this on your description; there was a wave of puppet shows during the 80s, so it's an easy mix-up. The title Woodland Friends doesn't quite match anything I know. I've got digital catalogs of retro shows, happy to search more in-depth if you can give me more deets - specific characters maybe?

I'm pretty sure you're talking about Whimsical Woodland from '83, not Woodland Friends. I've been collecting old puppets from UK shows for years and sometimes the shows get misremembered. Don't think there are any episodes in circulation unfortunately, rights issues and such have kept it buried. If you find anything, hit me up, would love to add to my collection.

oh man, Woodland Friends... rings a bell. Have you tried looking for it in the archives of the local library? Sometimes they have old tapes n stuff, i think it might not be on the internet really. wish i had taped more shows from back then!
