Fuuuuu, that was one of my most favourite shows as a kid. The intro music is legendary (at least the one used in German television, I don't know if other countries had another intro. I believe it still was in English...).
The pronounciation guide is really interesting, though I still don't see the use of silent consonants in language. I mean, why? Were they pronounced once upon a time until people grew tired of them but didn't want to update their spelling? People should do it like Sweden and kick out consonants that are redundant.
