The Terrible Tins

The Terrible Tins was a children's stop-motion television series that was broadcast on JT1 in 1974 as part of the Windmill strand. It centred around two mischievous tin cans who would cause trouble in The Big Kitchen by pulling pranks and teasing the other characters.

After the show received criticism for supposedly promoting bullying and misbehaviour as fun and rewarding, The Terrible Tins was pulled from Windmill's lineup in 1975.

Only one episode of the show is known to still exist in full, which was released on the Classic Children's Programmes: The Best of Windmill compilation VHS in 1989. However, it is believed that some of show's producers have at least some of the episodes saved in their personal collection. About three other episodes are partially available in subpar quality.
