Anita och Televinken


Anita och Televinken was a Swedish children's programme starting at SVT1 in 1964. Televinken was a marionette operated by Ola Lundberg, also voicing the doll. Anita Lindman Lamm played Anita.
In 1969, cooperation with Barnens trafikklubb began. Programmes aired over Sveriges Radio. The theme was teaching children how to act when out in traffic, often with song lyrics written by Gullan Bornemark, usually re-using famous tunes. In 1974, NTF and Barnens trafikklubb released Anita & Televinkens trafikskiva.
The cancellation of the traffic-related programmes has been criticized for reducing the awareness of how to act out in traffic.
Episodes of the series were sold to Icelandic television in 1977, dubbed in Icelandic, in line with the country's move to driving on the right side of the road in 1977.
