My grandma’s name was Bertha
It’s a name sadly in decline. My grans were Alice and Joan. One of my cousins is called Alice, but I don’t know anyone young called Joan. Except her who played Sabrina. I think she was called Joan.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is this “Bertha machine” from?
It’s perfectly excusable, I wouldn’t expect many people to remember Bertha!
It was a stop motion kids programme made c1985 by the BBC .
Bertha was the main focus of the activities that took place at Spottiswood Factory, a small but nevertheless important engineering plant. Bertha was a very special machine because she could make anything you wanted provided she was programmed correctly. She looks very much like an old steam driven machine but she has been upgraded and is now fully computerised.
A great introduction to the characters (where I yoink’d the previous paragraph) can be found here
Ahh, I see why I’ve never heard of it. It was before I was born…and it was in Britain :D
Yeah, being born in 1970’s England has a lot to answer for…
