Background: Watch With Mother was a black and white British children's series that ran from 1950 to 1966. The show consisted of several different serials, one for every day of the week. The show is considered a classic children's TV show in Great Britain and has been released on VHS many times, including a "Very Best Of..." re-release. On VHS releases, this logo usually occurs after a variant of BBC Video's first logo (Rainbow Parallelograms) which was originally in black and white.
