Mickey Dunne

I was only thirteen when this was shown. I don't remember there being anything risqué about it or my mum would never have let me watch it. I do remember it was both funny and sad. The theme song went something like:-

Mickey Dunne, think of number one. You'll never make your pile with a happy smile And an open hand. Where will it land you?

I can't recall who the singer was, only that he had a northern accent. It might well have been a scouse accent but I can't be absolutely sure as fragments of memory from forty-six years ago are not always totally reliable.

Mickey was always getting into trouble for doing what he thought was best. This theme was later plagiarised by viz with the comic strip Helpful Herbert.
