I just want to know something, could anyone help?

UK childrens tv programs:

I watched this on BBC2 iI think around 1995 date or around and I had to get up early to watch, it was not animated, looked like stuffed puppets only realistic (sort of hard to explain), but there was an owl that lived in a windmill and there was a rat I remember that lived in a junk yard. What is it?

Another question: I watched this on CBBC (in mid 90's) and it was about two kings, (not animated, real actors) and one would go to the other for things, I think it was sandwich not sure. ANyway, I remember during show they played a King Rollo clip (i think) what was the show?

Finally, watched this on (well my sister did) on CBBC: There was various toys in a kids bedroom (non cartoon, real toys) that came to life when the kid was away. There was a waterbottle, Pink stuffed elephant, robot and some others, what was it called?

The last one is called Johnson- that was the Elephants name the hot water bottle was called Alfred and whats interesting is it was Kyra Sedgewick who voiced the part of the concertina (whose name I forget).Seems Kyra has moved on to a grownup role in the US hit The Closer.
My Amy loved this and The Animals of Farthing Woods.She liked Round the Twist when she reached 9 but her all time favourite was a show called Liftoff, which encouraged kids to use their imaginations.

Don't recognize these programs. I think my son watched Talespin and Goosebumps or was that the grandkids. Didn't have TV when I was a kid. No I'm not THAT old but I lived out in the Sticks in Hawaii. TVs cost a heck of a lot and my folks didn't want to give up their first born. Hey that was me.

Johnson and friends - thanks, did not know it was Australian. Good to know. Love looking back at my past.
