The BBC maintained cordial relations with the communists. A quite famous tv show made in East Germany was popular on the BBC in the Sixties, a TV series bought from East Germany and complete with a Communist princess and the world's weirdest fish, that ended up terrifying and obsessing a generation of British children
Devotees of 'The Singing Ringing Tree' tried to come to terms with one of the great traumas of postwar childhood. The BBC saw fit to import a terrifying Communist fairy tale, and the East Germans struggled to work out how a superbly arrogant princess and lots of strange magical animals could promote world revolution!
