A while back we featured a UWTV memory from one of our readers, David McCarthy, about a stop-motion film about a circus clown who hangs himself after finding he’s unable to remove his make-up:
The Clown Whose Make-Up Wouldn’t Wash Off
As of yet this memory remains unidentified, but David has another memory from around the same time involving a circus clown. So we’re featuring it here on the off-chance anyone recalls it…
Says David:
“A children’s tv series from circa early 80s, maybe vaguely like the Famous Five but I don’t think that was it. I remember a scene where a circus clown is watching the kids from behind trees. The clown I think was wearing a hat, was young ish and had curly hair, not a wig. He turned out later to help the kids. Think he was in a circus camping locally. Just that early scene he was watching the kids from behind a tree, it came across as kind of sinister like he a villain. He takes an apple out of his pocket and bites into it as he watches the kids.
I’m pretty sure the clown turned out to be good and helped the kids later in the episode but in that scene where he’s watching them you don’t know that. I remember being quite creeped out by it.”
Does this sound familiar to you at all?
