Hi Richard, 

You must be a youngster, the first puppet show I can remember was "four feather falls" on reflection it was bad even for children, it made Supercar look like a epic

I have met the man who created captain pugwash. he says none of the innuendo was actually meant (and most of the stories about innuendo are not in fact true.) he used to live near Ypres tower in Rye.

[RayandCarole]

Oops forgotten about the innuendos, 

Thats certainly not what I meant

I know those too, also Torchie the battery boy, and Muffin the mule lol

Edit, just noticed that Muffin the Mule has already been mentioned, so maybe was very popular in the late 50's lol
