Where are all the children?


I've been watching all of the episodes on You Tube and I'm still a couple of seasons short of seeing them all, but I can say it occurred to me that there is a serious lack of children in the series. They have shown up as main characters or supporting characters in only a very few episodes, and in some (like The Stinker) they're just sort of background material to support a flashback.

In Georgie Porgie we see Georgie as a young boy in a flashback and we see Perkins and Foxley also in a flashback in Galloping Foxley.

Flypaper and Taste both feature teen girls.

Am I missing any?

I still have to see the Boy Who talked to Animals so I can't say anything about that yet though it has young Perkins from Galloping Foxley in it.

Far as I can tell the series focused almost exclusively on adults.

I must admit I am kind of tired of seeing Joan Collins popping up in the eps, so far I have seen her in three!

What is this? You already did a thread on this theme.

It's "Tales of the Unexpected" with adult themes - therefore no screaming brats and I for one am glad about it.
