There's a pretty strong difference between mime and pantomime in the UK.

The show's main presenters were an actress named Pat Keysell, who also taught deaf children; Tony Hart, an artist who encouraged children to submit their own paintings to the BBC to appear in the show's "The Gallery" segments, and Creator/SylvesterMcCoy (credited here as Sylveste [=McCoy=]) and Ben Benison, who both played as pantomime performers. Besides the segments featuring these presenters, the show featured other segments, such as Humphrey the Tortoise, a man in a white lab coat known as the Prof, and an animated miner called The Digger.

* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: Well, minus the "cartoon" part for the live-action segments. It ''did'' have spoken dialogue, but it was mostly restricted to short statements; since the programme's target audience was deaf children, characters usually communicated via sign language, pantomime, etc.

''Vision On'' aired on Creator/TheBBC from 1964 to 1976. It was one of the few TV shows made specifically for deaf children, but had accompanying sounds and music for anyone in the audience who wasn't deaf.
The show's main presenters were an actress named Pat Keysell, who also taught deaf children; Tony Hart, an artist who encouraged children to submit their own paintings to the BBC to appear in the show's "The Gallery" segments, and Creator/SylvesterMcCoy (credited here as Sylveste [=McCoy=]) and Ben Benison, who both played as pantomime performers. Besides the segments featuring these presenters, the show featured other segments, such as Humphrey the Tortoise, a man in a white lab coat known as the Prof, and an animated miner called The Digger.
Co-creator Patrick Dowling eventually found it harder and harder to sustain a flow of new ideas to use in the show, so he cancelled it in 1976, while the show's popularity was still at its height. Dowling and Hart later made art programmes called ''Take Hart'' and ''Hartbeat'', the former of which kept ''Vision On'''s "The Gallery" segments.

!!Tropes in use:
* AgonyOfTheFeet: The Prof blows up a balloon that somehow hits his foot like a heavy object.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: One of the recurring segments starred an animated T-rex.
* GadgeteerGenius: Wilf Lunn, one of the show's other presenters, was depicted as an eccentric inventor.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Each segment had a specific song used for it that likely count as these. To give a few examples:
** The Burbles' segments used a fairly leisurely-sounding but somewhat cartoony tune called "Goofy".
** Humphrey the Tortoise's segments used a slow ocarina tune called "Happy Ocarina".
* LongRunner: Ran for 12 years.
* MediumBlending: Different techniques were used for each of the segments. Some were live-action, some were 2-D animation, some were StopMotion...
* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: Well, minus the "cartoon" part. It ''did'' have spoken dialogue, but it was mostly restricted to short statements; since the programme's target audience was deaf children, characters usually communicated via sign language, pantomime, etc.
* TalkingAnimal: Humphrey the Tortoise speaks in speech bubbles.
* TheVoice: The Burbles, who also speak in speech bubbles, are a visual variant. Said speech bubbles are the only indication of their presence in a room, as they were never given physical appearances.
