Johnson and Noddy

This is where you can watch Johnson & Friends and Noddy, as well as any related or similar series. I post random oddities from my personal archives at my own discretion.

Please be patient as I am rendering them in 1080p50 (for PAL) and 1080p60 (NTSC) which will give the best possible quality. There may be other shows uploaded here too. We will see.

Everything here is from the personal collection of children's television historian, Joseph Marshall. The collection contains many hard to find series and material that may not have ever even seen the light of day. I have been collecting casually for almost three decades, and knuckled down about ten years ago, taking it a bit more seriously - so you will find stuff here that is impossible to source elsewhere!


Johnson and Noddy

Going to be taking a break from the Play School project due to certain people's inability to be patient and respectful. Apparently it is reasonable to "pester" me into doing this as opposed to just waiting for me to post. I don't have every episode. I don't choose which episodes I find on tapes. You people need to get out more and stop sitting and waiting. It'll happen when it happens.

As of now, i won't be posting any further episodes until you people get a grip and until things outside of this page become less busy - I run a business as well and I have a lot of work to be doing rather than spending time thinking about the selfish people constantly asking for stuff.

Enjoy what's been posted up until now - can't tell you when there will be another post.

Some of the people requesting Play School episodes, specific episodes etc, need a lesson in good etiquette and being patient, I have been nagged and have had to block up to ten people since this project has started either due to them being annoying, fetishising the episodes (asking for feet specific ones, seriously?) or in one case, someone who sexually harassed me years ago commenting on the posts.

There has been a lot of positivity to come out of this project but also it truly has brought out the degenerates - I do not want to see any more of this behaviour, especially the latter two - no gross requests and no gross people, thanks.

This video marks the beginning of our Play School archival project, an endeavour to try and get the hundreds of Play School episodes in our collection out there for everyone.

Stay tuned, there's some real obscurities coming.

AT LONG LAST. Only one more episode to find. https://youtu.be/VXfgFlRzZ6c

The backstory here is that mum and I went to go and catch up with a friend of hers from an old job who we have known since circa 2007 and when telling her about what I had been up to she pulled out some old ABC recordings and loaned them to me to digitise - lo and behold after going through hundreds of recordings from various sources this missing episode was here under our noses the whole time. So like many of the others on my page I re-muxed the recording audio (English) to the Nordic BiP DVD footage - came out like new! For those who don't know - originally there were three episodes never released in English and two with missing credits audio:

48. Stone Soup (credits found in 2020 on a tape mum recorded for me in 2006, mum taped an ungodly amount of BiP and Thomas for me and I was thrilled)

69. Shop Shut (credits found this year from 1996 recording, soon to be restored and uploaded)
162. Self Serve (still missing but I guarantee I will find it soon)

194. Shoe Shine (found in 2017 on a tape mum recorded for me in 2005, mum taped an ungodly amount of BiP and Thomas for me and I was thrilled)

198. Odd Socks (found this week from late 90s early 00s recording, as explained above)

A lot of people weren't aware that Shoe Shine or the other two w original credits were once impossible to find.

Also, this marks the final Ian Munro BiP episode found -- so we have his entire repertoire from the show!

Mattel has recently become more strict with Thomas content on YouTube (it's all automated, make no mistake - they're not manual targeted takedowns)

So, for personal use only, here is the Shining Time Station series for download.

To be clear again, the reason this has happened is because Mattel has asked YouTube content ID to block videos with auto-matched Thomas footage in it, not them manually targeting things.

Make sure not to spread misinformation.

PS -- you may not reupload these episodes, they came from the series creators and they are available for you to download under the condition that you do not repost them. Some acknowledgement to "Johnson and Noddy" would be nice too.

I think I might start posting on here more often. People often ask why I have everything marked as 'made for kids' - and the simple answer is that I disagree with 99% of modern children's media and if I can get so many of these quality, genuine shows into this new generation's demographic, then I will. Almost my entire channel is on YouTube Kids and thus children can watch really high quality programming that is not available properly elsewhere.

Current project is Billy the Cat - Nine episodes were released on home video in English (only here in Australia) and I ended up finding almost the entire series on ABC-TV recordings, which I'm slowly digitising, rendering, and posting here. Series 2 did not transmit here until roughly 2006? maybe a bit earlier. But it was still on in '06. I don't have any of those episodes yet.

As for Series 1, I am only missing Episodes 12 and 26.
