Oh god
The phrase "Badger girl" has just triggered a repressed memory of some educational program they made me watch in school...something like "Look and Read," which featured a story called "Badger Girl"...does anyone else know what I'm blithering about or is my imagination just playing horrible tricks on me...?

I do
I remember Badger Girl.
It wasn't as good as Geordie Racer or Fairground.

The fog is clearing.
I remember Geordie Racer but not Fairground...and something about a builder singing a song about the past tense, and some wizard called "Magic E"...which really doesn't seem like the kind of thing you should be showing kids, just to put this sub-thread back on topic.

I had a similar thought
I preferred "Dark Tower"

Towser the dog was an anagram of Towers!
And the friendly ghost was an auld cunt

and the ghost knight was played by the bloke who was Chewbacca in Star Wars
it's all on IMDB.

Of course, nostalgia isn't what it used to be...

Was there also an excessively Welsh one they did
called Through the Dragon's Eye? I think I can vaguely remember the title music from it.

Hehe
IMDB begs to differ. I think it might have been one of the later ones.
EDIT: Ok, it was made in '89, so not that much later. And it was filmed in Acton, not Wales.

I had hoped to go a-mining
guided by my dragon's eye. Until it suffered an outbreak of conjunctivitis.

I dont remember that one
"Badger Girl", "Dark Tower" and "The Boy from Space" is what I recollect.

Edit - Looked at the IMDB link, I was at secondary school in 1989.
