Episode Chronology/Airdates

I recently discovered this show, which is nearly 20 years older than me and from the other side of the world, and I only watched it through to the end to create an episode guide, since one didn't seem to exist anywhere. It began relatively straight-forward until I hit the second series, and then I became increasingly befuddled.

It is 100% obvious to me that series two was interspersed with shows from the first for the London broadcasts, but I have no evidence to back it up, other than looking at the episodes themselves. For example, Daffy the Donkey first appeared pulling the King's coach in "King Dithers Loses His Crown," but the king doesn't meet the mule until the series two episode "King Dithers and Daffy." Similarly, they make a huge deal out of Mr. Bumble-Drop's first visit to Topsy Turvy Land in "King Bumble-Drop," but he'd already been there a year prior. Series two is routinely disorienting, and it's been nightmarish trying to figure out where in the timeline the events transpired. I never intended to put this much work into the page.

I surmise that Roberta Leigh began penning her tie-in storybooks and decided to fill in gaps. Unfortunately, the books weren't printed in the USA, so I can't just scour the local libraries to get references, and I can't afford to import the expensive old books at the moment (although I may in the future -- assuming civilization isn't wiped out by a seemingly-impending pandemic first!). Furthermore, the only TV listings I've discovered are just as vague as those for American children's shows of the era, listing only the program's title. So, I suppose I'm going to have to leave some spots on the page in need of references (although I feel like I'll be leaving this page in much better shape than I found it).

If anyone is with access to additional information is able to properly sort out the episode chronology, it would be appreciated. VinnieRattolle (talk) 18:33, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
