I’m going to kill someone!
The little one has just told me that he LOVES Geoffrey from Rainbow. I’m not too happy about that – mainly because Geoffrey is wearing a rather tight pair of lewd red dungarees and is arguing with Bungle. Bungle wants to play the trumpet and Geoffrey’s fighting Zippy for the paper and comb – more like the skin flute and pork sword if you ask me! And as for Rod Jane and Freddy – disgraceful hippy free-love commune escapees – although I have a strange recollection that I used to wish Jane would be my mother. Don’t go there. Definately time for bed now.

I once met the puppteer who invented Zippy and Bungle. Went round to his house. Crazy hard core puppeeteers. Lovely people, hippies. Hadn’t made a penny from it and were bitter, but only because they could have spent it all on puppets. Or something. My memory is a bit hazy. I can’t even really remember why I was there in the first place, something to do with Loophole Cinema and our crazed shadow shows. Maybe.
oo, you have simpy childrens shows too. they make me want to cry and bang my head against the wall.
The sexual innuendo was far more direct in Captain Pugwash eg: Seaman Staines, Master Bates and Roger the Cabin Boy.<br/><br/>Yes, we all know about it, but do we know our children know?
Ivan – were you round there buying dope?<br/><br/>FN – tell me about it!<br/><br/>Istvanski – I was kind of posting tongue-in-cheek. All that Captina Pugwash stuff is an urban myth – if you ever watch or read it again – they didn’t exist!
I must’ve been consuming the wrong drugs at the time I was watching said programme. Hope it wasn’t me that started that urban myth…
Well, maybe we all were. I used to swear blind that Seaman Stains and Master Bates existed until I had it proved to me that they did not!
