Bertha Machine - What a classic program!!
Bertha Machine
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.
The introductory lyrics were:-
Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine
Any anyone who works with you will know just what I mean.
Bertha, lovely Bertha, sometimes I thing you''re a dream,
When we work out what you have to do,
You can always turn the goods out, always turn the goods out,
We can depend upon you.
Clicking in the day and flashing in the night,
Your computer is shining brightly,
Some people say you''ve a mind of your own,
And I think that''s very likely, likely.
Bertha, lovely Bertha, sometimes I thing you''re a dream,
When we work out what you have to do,
You can always turn the goods out, always turn the goods out,
We can depend upon you.
