Words and Pictures - Magic Pencil - 1994 - BBC - HQ

What happened to programmes like this?

TOP TO BOTTOM DOWN AND AROUND !

If anybody's interested, the phone number at end now belongs to a minicab firm in Shepherd's Bush. I found this out so you don't have to.

lol this is about as old school as it gets

This is freaking me out because inside I feel like I know this but I don't remember seeing it, but I CAN FEEL IT... Childhood memories for ya

Watch this then watch don't hug me i'm scared then watch this again

we used to watch this in infant school. I'm 31 now and honest to God this makes me so happy to watch this again!!!

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR BLOODY YEARS OH MY GOD THE MEMORIES

childhood!!!

And Flick lmfao

Ok I'm here from Dan and Phil

great warm memories watching this show in my pyjamas when was i ill from school

nostalgia overload. We had to watch this in primary school in the early 90s. Do what the magic pencil does.

I'm 27 now but I actually remember watching this specific episode in reception. I went to Markeaton Primary school in Derby, England

I hated that 'magic' pencil!

We were forced to watch this in primary school plus we have to do the letters in the air with our fingers in the early 90s.

Child memories right her❤️❤️

I used to love the magic pencil when I was at school😊

I dream about this shit sometimes! fk you Wordy, magic pencil and magic E wizard!

magic E

its a pencil with a bulb on it.. COOLEST THING EVER!!! 🇬🇧😎👍

This is great, I loved Magic Pencil as a kid!

I used to watch this when I bunked off school. I remember laying on the sofa watching cartoons until they would end at 9am. The educational segment would come on and this would appear along with al nombre! Man, I miss the 90s 😭

I'm 30 and the memories just came flooding back!! I remember not being able to write and trying to take this in. Mad.

Magic pencil is the one! I still use this when teaching children and came to search for this video when a child was telling me how to form an r. Bring magic pencil back please!!!

I legit still write like this at 30. Super embarrassing. My a's are all the way round down and kick.

Ah life before depression. I miss you

Pitty not on longer

This is primary school in 1995 for me! I still picture that damn pencil when I try to do fancy handwriting!

"All the way round; down + around; top to bottom; up + around" - CLASSIC ! ! As young kids in the 80's / early 90's, we couldn't see what a joke this really was !

Magic pencil go grgrgrgr

I wonder if I could make a 'magic' pencil, or pen.
It could use some small batteries, and a small contact behind the ink resivoir. A mini maglite bulb at the end.
I'm going to have to invent one now.

Aw....when you'd be at home sick from school lol 😆

Damn, I feel old.

Happier times..... Defund the BBC🖕🏻👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I remember being shown this in school when I started in 2002. Legit using this now at 24 as my handwritings gotten poorer over the years and I want mine to be readable again.

I was thinking this for years but I was "all the way round, down and flick" (hahah "I'm been growing some cress in the shape of letters" "think il try some beans next time" 😂😂😂💖

Classic it’s not the same anymore

Great

If you are here for nostalgia, search for "BBC numbertime" and see if you remember the jingle when they count 1-10 and the El Nombre characters! Amazing the things we remember.

Gosh, this takes me back. Magic pencil used to teach cursive script, or joined-up writing as well.

32 years old now & this took me right back, singing Jesus bangers then this after - what a time to be alive

I loved this show when I was a kid!

I just hated how it drew the a's gay as fuck.

I remember the big tv being wheeled into the school dining room , it was usually followed by Come outside , ya know the lady with the plane!

This used to scare the bejesus out of me 😭

94? Sure I watching this in the 80’s

God, I miss my childhood 😢 Such peaceful carefree days

IS THIS HYPNOTISM OR SUMMING ?!?!?!

That ending credits was peak 90s! Pan pipes, cool random shapes, and wildlife footage. Not to mention the guys hair style and jumper. Takes me back to junior school days.

Belter of a show this if they played this in High School I probably would have got high and stayed
