Read the full appeal on the RTÉ website
The mob of eight (and Da) were photographed holding placards in protest at the proposed axing of the much-loved kid’s show.
And sure didn’t they succeed. Wanderly Wagon wasn’t cancelled, and this photograph was used in the January 1975 issue of the RTÉ Guide to preview the show’s return.
Oh go on then, here’s the theme tune.
If you can identify any of these children and the man standing behind them, RTÉ archives want to hear from you. They can be contacted at archives@rte.ie or on Twitter @RTEArchives.
