Bertha(1985)

The 13-episode show aired on BBC Television from 1985 to 1986, created by animator Ivor Wood and his studio Woodland Animations. The series combines mechanical charm with gentle storytelling designed for young viewers. Alongside the television run, a series of six storybooks adapted by Eric Charles and illustrated by Steve Augarde brought Bertha's world to the page.
