so it might have been just before my time.
Stig of the Dump, I remember reading the book of it when I was young but I think I just missed the telly series. Which is a pity because it would have been brilliant.

the characters, the whole design. But I did have suspicions when I read about new characters and "new dimensions to Fox's children"..

I particularly loved the diagram of his tunnels digging into the three cellars.
I might watch the film anyway, and then spend about 20 minutes reading the book...

Boggis and Bunce and Bean,
One fat, one short, one lean.

and watch the dodgy 1984 produced film... it was about a valley in Wales surviving a nuclear holocaust because it had its own micro climate. The lead was a teenage girl, then this bloke in a radiation suit comes in with a rifle and tries to rape her. Another one of those feel good nuclear films of the 80s, needed a soundtrack by Limahl to cheer it up really.
