In a response to America's Sesame Street in the early 1970s, the UK's ITV network launched a series of lunchtime kids shows aimed at young children. Granada Television's contribution was Hickory House. It was a rather homely and magical little house with two memorable characters - Humphrey Cushion and Dusty Mop. Here MIM's Ashley Byrne tracks down presenters Alan Rothwell (famous as David Barlow in Corrie) and former Carry On and Corrie star Amanda Barrie to talk about their memories of Hickory House.

Today's announcer is North West radio presenter and one time child fan of Hickory House Andy Hoyle.
