Michael Bentine's Potty Time - The Complete Fourth Series

Created, written and presented by the multi-talented Michael Bentine (The Goons), this marvellously madcap puppet series re-enacted some of the world's greatest historical events and shed new light on mysteries ancient and modern all with a unique Potty slant. Running for a total of seven years between 1973 and 1980 and becoming a favourite of children and adults alike, Michael Bentine's Potty Time was voted into 71st place in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Kids TV Shows poll of 2001.

In this fourth series, we find out why Francis Drake's global circumnavigation took quite as long as it did, discover how America really won its independence, marvel at the grandeur and excitement of the Potty Roman Games, learn of the ingenious escapes from Warmditz by the Potty prisoners of war... and much, much more!
