Mr Happy is a Mr Man who is always buoyant and cheerful. He lives in a land called Happyland, where everyone is cheerful. But one day he takes a walk in the woods and comes across a hidden door in a tree that leads him to a very surprising discovery...
Narrated by Arthur Lowe (he of Dad's Army fame), this was the first ever episode from the TV series of the Mr Men books by Roger Hargreaves and was originally broadcast on December 31st 1974. I remember this series during one of it's repeats in the 1980's and came across the series in a charity shop a few months back. I am uploading them two episodes at a time at the moment for reasons that will become clear in the next two weeks, but this remains a wonderful piece of escapism to happier and more innocent childhood. Enjoy.
