    No. Not directly. But correct in terms of era, nationality and similar production-type.

    Earlier. But very similar indeed. We're looking for the creator, who has nothing to do with McLaren.

    He produced programmes using that technique but he famously created programmes similar to, but much earlier than, Postman Pat. And he didn't design McLaren F1.

    There may be the McLaren F1 team, but there's also the McLaren F1 road car, that was designed by Gordon Murray, who was involved with the F1 design team before that. The man responsible for the "Trumptonshire Trilogy" - Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley, was also called Gordon Murray.

    The WFC part is a children's TV show in the 80s that was partly filmed at the Vic.

    Cheers barry...

    A quickie - and I may even have asked this before. Which trophy have Watford held since first winning it in 1966?
