Mr. Forgetful title card

Status: Partially Found

The Mr. Men series was a 1975 animated TV series based on the book series of the same name by Roger Hargreaves and aired on BBC1. The voices were provided by the late Arthur Lowe.

When the 1983 Little Miss series initially aired, each episode was paired with a Mr. Men episode, with an interlude song in between the two stories. In addition, new music was composed for the Mr. Men segments, likely done to match up with the music for the Little Miss ones.

All home video releases of the Mr. Men stories have their original music, rendering most of the original airings lost. Out of all the pairings, "Little Miss Naughty and Mr. Forgetful" is found and can be viewed below (albeit with poor quality audio). A better quality version of the 1983 Mr. Men theme from "Little Miss Bossy & Mr. Greedy" has recently surfaced.
