Click on the above image to hear the introductory theme (zipped MP3 format).
Hattytown was first shown in the late 60s - early 1970s. It concerned the adventures a small number of hat people living in Hattytown. The only character who was not a hat was Carrots who was a donkey. The tales were created and written by Keith Chatfield and the puppets and decor was by Ivor Wood.
I seem to remember watching this program in the early afternoons when I was about five year old. Each episode last approximately 10 minutes or so. The video material that we have is quite old and hence some of the images are not as colourful and bright as they should be. Several toy related items were eventually released - a jigsaw is hown below. The jigsaw was a 20 peice affair and unusual in that it was made out of wood. The game was released in 1970 by a company called Philmar. This is the first and only merchandise that I have seen for Hattytown.
