Oh no, just a minute, The woodentops come on after dinner, that's right. I think it should be Andy Pandy or Bill and Ben in a minute. Pob-bop little weed!

:?: What's the meaning of the title? Please.
 
Little Weed was a character in The Flower Pot Men. The eponymous men were Bill and Ben, distinct only in the pitch of their voice. They had their own language; 'Eebob Leebob Weeb' was a common saying.

Not 'Pob-bob'. 'Pob' was another children's TV character, as was Bob The Builder (even more recent).

The original 1950s series was perfect. The 21st century remake was an abomination (in which someone, for all I know, may have said 'Pob-bob').
