Zippy: " One skin, two skin, three skin, four "
George: " Zippy, where is Bungle?"
Zippy: " I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up"
We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning from Behind it.
Bungle: " Geoffrey, I can’t get it in"
Geoffrey: “You managed it last night”
Bungle: “I know, let’s try it round the other way. Ooooooh, I’ve got it
in”
Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a hammer
and peg kit
Bungle: " Would you stick this on the shelf, George"
George: " I can’t reach, you’ll have to stick it up yourself,
Geoffrey (to camera) " Hello everyone, today we are talking about
playing"
Bungle: " Playing with each other, Geoffrey?"
Geoffrey:" Yes Bungle, do you have a special friend that you like to
play with?"
George:" Yesterday we played with each other’s balls.
Are we going to play with our friend’s balls today?
Bungle: " Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well."
Geoffrey (to camera) Have you seen Bungles twanger?
Zippy:" Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with it."
Bungle: " It’s my plucking instrument."
Geoffrey asks the audience if they can pluck like Bungle
Zippy:" I can, I’m the best plucker here."
George;" And I’m good at banging. My peg’s hard isn’t it Zippy?
Zippy:" Well of course it is, Your peg wouldn’t go in if it was soft."
Geoffrey;" Let’s get back to Bungle’s twanger."
Bungle (excited) " Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all play with our twangers
couldn’t we? Let’s play the plucking song. Rod and Roger can get their
instruments out and Jane has got two lovely Maracas."
Singers Rod, Freddy and Jane enter.
Freddy:" We could hear you all banging away"
Rod: “Banging can be fun.”
Jane:" Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and
Freddy."
Freddy (looking sad) " Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument."
Rod (to Jane) " Do you want to blow on my pipe while I’m twanging away?"
Jane: " Oh no, I was banging away with Freddy last night. But would you
Like to play with my maracas?
Zippy; " No, let’s just pluck away with our twangers."
George:“Yes, it doesn’t matter what size our twanger is.”
Zippy;" I’ve got a big red one."
George: " I’ve only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to
play with it."
Geoffrey (to viewers) " Well, have you got your twangers out? And
remember, you can bang your balls at the same time. If you haven’t got
any, ask a friend if you can play with his. Now, let’s all play the
plucking song."
Everyone in studio: " Pluck, pluck, pluck along, we’re going to pluck
all day."
Hey Hey it’s Saturday
The Goodies
Kingswood Country
And what was that show with Shirl the Curl, the hound dog and that stupid crow that used to pop up in the window?
As a small kid, used to love watching Andy Pandy, Magic Roundabout, Bill and Ben.
As an older kid then programs like Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses, the Two Ronnies, Dick Emery, Jasper Carrott, Kenny Everett, oh the list could go on.
Orville
Roland rat
Rod Hull and emu (psycho)
Basil Brush
Just remembered a coupla good 'uns:
The Flumps
Screen Test
Would someone with time on their hands tell us all about that classic Captain Pugwash, which included those colorful characters, Seaman Staines and Master Bates? I’m not making this up.
I hated Roland rat too. And Rod and Emu. Basil Brush…He was alright.
BOOM! BOOM!
The fragles were a favourite of mine, as was Jim’ll Fix It.
Alway’s used to finish off a boring sunday afternoon of mum ironing and watching one of those wretched black and white films on Channel 4.
I wrote to Jim once. I wanted to have one of those ball pits in my garden.
It’s been two weeks now and he still hasn’t written back.

I rang his doorbell once and said: “Dear Jim, could you fix it for me to MOVE YOUR DAMN CAR! IT’S BLOCKING THE ROAD.”
He was very gracious about it, though, and took it in a sporting fashion. Nice bloke.
