Mary, Mungo and Midge

Mary, Mungo and Midge is a British animated children's television series, created by John Ryan and produced by the BBC in 1969.

BBC newsreader Richard Baker narrated the episodes, with John Ryan's daughter Isabel playing Mary.

The programme showed Mary having adventures in a busy town, as opposed to in a wood, forest or other rural setting, apart from the episode “The Garage,” in which the family had a picnic in the countryside.

Mary, Mungo and Midge was a production of John Ryan Studios, who also produced the earlier Captain Pugwash and the later The Adventures of Sir Prancelot series, both with a similar drawing style.
