The original Internet?​

When I was little, my most beloved TV show was The Magic Circle Club. Every Monday they would start an adventure and resolve it by the end of the week. One time I even got to be in the studio audience. It was fun to see how they made the show, though I was very upset to see Leonardo da FunBird just lying on a bench looking like a stick puppet. No respect! My favourite bit, though, was the supercomputer, IKAN, which stands for Instantaneous Knowledge-Accumulating Network, he was basically the internet! Though his voice was much friendlier, and he tended to have a bit of a bias toward the magnificent British Empire.

Yes it is! I like Fred Bear much more than Percy Panda. I feel ripped off by that picture.

It was in the early 60s, and made at Channel O's (now channel 10) studios in Nunawading. Later, the same company went across to the ABC and made Adventure Island. I know Adventure Island is very beloved, but I always thought of it as a knock off of The Magic Circle Club. BTW the picture in today's email is of Adventure Island, not the Magic Circle Club.

I know! The knock-off show! Here's a picture of Leonardo to cheer us both up

Loved John Michael Howson as Clown Watching the Adventure Club was a Must.

Yes, I remember Adventure Island, but not Magic Circle. Loved Clown and Miser Meanie and Fester Fumble. I recall watching it after school. My neighbour and I sent something to the show...perhaps a letter and it was read out on TV. Great old funny show for kids back in the day!
