What!? I LOVED Davy and Goliath!!! My sister and I would wake up at 5 am on Sunday mornings so we could watch it together. It was this thinly-veiled religious show for children, in which Goliath the dog was the voice of Morality. (I am imitating Goliath's voice as I write this and I wish you all could hear it b/c it was probably the funniest part of the show! Ha, I can still hum the theme tune too!) BTW, I think it was one of the early claymation shows, not puppets. So Davy would do all these bad things like taking another child's crayon or not sharing his toys with his sister (Sally?) and Goliath would reprimand him and explain why he ought to do the right thing. Ok, so it sounds (and was) hokey but when you're 5 years old and have a stuffed dog that looks JUST like Goliath, you find this sort of thing quite stimulating. The baby photo that I am going to send to HoneyPaul (if I can get my computer to recognize my scanner) is of me clutching my Goliath dog, which I later lost on a bus (A BUS, hey look, there's a B&S connection for you!!) and was never quite the same. - Nicole .........nicolina@drizzle.com......... a man with his eyes shut swam upward through dark water and came to air it was the horizon he felt his way along it and it opened and let the sun out - W.S.
