Bod

Not many people know, but Michael and Joanna Cole who created Bod were Taoists. When you actually watch the cartoon (from 1975) it makes perfect sense. All the stories are about mindfulness, zen and being at one with your surroundings to find happiness. In this episode, we learn that change is good - the end of the old, triggers the beginning of the new.

Bod was a BBC children's television programme first shown in 1975, with thirteen episodes, based on four original Bod books by Joanne and Michael Cole. It was an animated cartoon series narrated by John Le Mesurier & Maggie Henderson with music by Derek Griffiths and produced by David Yates. The four books were published in 1966 in the United Kingdom and later in the United States and France. They were: Bod's Apple, Bod's Present, Bod's Dream and Bod and the Cherry Tree. The French version of Bod's Apple was called La Pomme de Gus. Before the animated series was commissioned, the four books had been read on another BBC children's programme: Playschool. In 1974, thirteen five-minute episodes were created for transmission on the BBC as part of the Watch with Mother series, and were also sold to Australia's ABC channel. Soon thereafter, it was shown in New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Norway
