Forget Me Not Farm (also styled as Forget-Me-Not Farm) is a BBC children's television series that was originally aired on BBC One from 13 November 1990 to 18 February 1991. Set on the eponymous Forget Me Not Farm, the show featured a scarecrow who was played by the show's creator Mike Amatt, a pair of crows named Dandelion and Burdock, a tractor named Trundle, a pig named Portly, a cow named Gracie, a sheep named Merthyr, a tanker named Topper, and a mouse named Mrs. Mouse. All of the male animated characters were voiced by the British character actor Bob Peck while the female ones were voiced by Anna Carteret.

Origins
Mike Amatt first came up with the concept of the series when he made a simple tractor using LEGO, using remote control technology to give it lip-sync and eye movement and calling it "Max Tractor". His next goal was to create an environment for the tractor, and this led to him introducing the character of Scarecrow (with the two crows, Dandelion and Burdock, perching on his arms). He eventually persuaded Edward Pugh, the then-head of children's programmes at BBC North, to make a pilot programme. Celia Bonner, who produced and directed the series, later became involved in its live touring stage show, while the animation was done by Lyndon Evans Graphics. The scripts and songs were written and produced by Amatt himself (as was the incidental music), and the songs were also performed by him (as Scarecrow).
