Forget Me Not Farm (also known as Forget-Me-Not Farm) is a BBC children's television programme shown during the 1990s.[1]

Show storyline

Set on Forget-Me-Not farm, the show included the characters Dandelion and Burdock the crows, Trundle the tractor, Portly the pig, Mrs. Mouse, and Scarecrow.[2] Each of the thirteen episodes concentrated on an aspect of the farming process.[3] In December 2010 the show was rebroadcast on BBC Entertainment.

Each episode of the show centres around a particular theme or phenomenon. Episode themes include: food, machinery, doctors and vets, prize day (when the crows and the farmer visit the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Show and the scarecrow is sad because he has to stay at the farm), growing, milk, market, littler, maintenance, signs, rain, frost, and snow.
