List 14: British CFF/CFTF movies



 

This is a list of known bib movies of The Children's Film Foundation / The Children's Film and Television Foundation (CFF, later CFTF).

I found some clips on the wb but haven't checked them all yet, nor have I seen these films mentioned here entirely.
There are also some older b&w movies, but the best are probably of the late 1970s to 1980s.

List/ Pictures showing

-Smokey Joe's Revenge (1974) a boy on top
-High Rise Donkey (1980) below on left
-The Firefighters (1975) pic including cycling of this teen girl in red bibs
-4D Special Agents (1981) not sure if this are bibs, girl with short hair
-The Chiffy Kids (1976) series, ep. 1.2 Room to Let. girl, last pic
-Out of the Darkness (1985) redhaired girl ~ 11 in blue bibs
-Mr. Selkie (1979) girl ~11 tight light blue bibs (pic at Info 132)
-Big Wheels and Sailor  ,girl ~15 hickory stripes (missing Felix list, rating 4)

Update:

-The Boy with the Two Heads (series, 1974), see info post 158, thin girl dark blue bibs, also milking and cycling, rating 4
-A Horse Called Jester (1979), unpictured at least 2 girls in bibs, one younger, one older. rating 5, one in hickory stipes

The girl in 4D Special Agents is called Lisa East.

British movies are often very exciting and deals with detective stories (similar to the Enid Blyton movies). Some might contain farm content. But I prefer US movies with warmer climate.

If I have more time, maybe I will create separate entries.

If anybody knows some more good movies, please comment.

The best I would probably rate with 7. For now maybe The Firefighters.

Update2: Bush Christmas (1947) rating 5 (boy) b&w

Update 3: The Flying Eye (1955) rating 5 (boy) b&w

Pretty sure it is a boy in Smokey Joe. Boy wears overalls for good part of show.
