In 1977, Simon Townsend made a new pilot for the current affairs-style children's program that he had been trying to get on the air for a few years.

This segment is a good example of how the show wanted to be fun but also inform at the same time.

It features a story about an unusual new product – the 'Dog Potty' – presented in zany fashion by reporter Greg Bepper.
