I used to love this cartoon when I was younger and found it and many more on Cartoon Decades 80′s Cartoons site.
Jamie and his dog Wordsworth used their magic torch in Cuckoo Land, and came across characters such as Mr Boo, Strumpers Plunkett and Officer Gotcha.
Written and Narrated by Brian Trueman
Jamie and the Magic Torch (1976 – 1978) was Produced by Brian Cosgrove and Mark Hall of Cosgrove/Hall Productions Ltd (Cosgrove Hall Films) who’s earliest production was ‘Noddy’(1975), and other productions include ‘Chorlton and the Wheelies’ (1976), ‘Cockleshell Bay’ (1980), ‘Danger Mouse’ (1981), ‘The Wind in the Willows’ (1983) and ‘Count Duckula’ (1988).
The animation studio based in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester has also produced the classic Roald Dahl story, ‘The BFG’ (1989) and also journeying through the wonderful world of Terry Pratchett, with two ‘Discworld’ films(1996).
Most people I have asked if they remembered Jamie and the Magic Torch usually reply with a ‘No!’, but no doubt they would recognise a few other animations from the same producers.
No doubt many of you reading this will end up following the link to the Cartoon Decades site to search for your childhood favorites.
