Sally and Jake live in a little country village called Dimbledale, where there is always lots of things to do. Their father and mother run the local grocer's shop, selling fruit and vegetables. Dad collects the goods from the market each day in
his little blue car. Gran's house is adjacent to the family's, and the children often drop in for her pies and bakes. They also like to visit Harry the odd-job man. He lives in an old converted barn, and he's always making and mending things.
Meanwhile, Farmer Merrie works the fields around the village.

And then we have the cat, Sly, who slinks around between his favourite snoozing places - he's a lazy old thing, is that moggy...

Sally, Jake and the village of Dimbledale were early creations from Brian Cosgrove and Mark Hall, produced when they operated under the Stop Frame Productions
banner. The characters and location first appeared as interstitials incoprorated
in to the Thames TV series "Rainbow". But they soon branched in to their own stand-alone show.
