The Sixties:

A little Dutch girl with pigtails and a mouth full of braces watched on black-and-white TV and with Dutch voice artists a wonderful series with planes and machines and asked: "Mom, can a human marry a puppet?" She learned the road to and from school became longer as she made up new stories, and the little Dutch girl's little boyfriends obediently had to save her from fates worse than death. She should've written down those stories.

The Early Seventies:

An 'adult' and 'sophisticated' Dutch teenager troubled her head over how to combine fighting with her parents over the length of her skirt and the hour she had to come home at night with watching a children's series. Marry a puppet? No, but maybe you could do other things with them. She should've written down those stories.

The Late Seventies:

A less 'adult' and less 'sophisticated' Dutch teenager told everybody that it was a sentimental journey when she watched that 'old series.' "No, I don't know why I was so fond of that stupid thing." But now it was aired with the original voices and that did something to her. She should have written down those stories.

The Eighties:

A young adult Dutchwoman sometimes smilingly remembered that fantastic TV series with those planes and machines. It would be fun to see it once more. It would be fun if there would be new episodes. She wrote those stories down.

The Nineties:

An older adult Dutchwoman needed a schedule to keep track of all the TV channels that aired a series that was even greater than she remembered. But she also foamed at the mouth because of what was being done to her series. Ages, birth order... "Is there no one left who remembers it as it was?" What was the use of writing about them? And the stories that were, were destroyed.

The New Century:

The series is available on DVD! I can watch it whenever I want. And there are people out there who remember it as fondly as I do. And what's more...they write stories too! And a middle aged Dutchwoman with a young heart strives painstakingly to write again.
