Fergus the Fish.

Anyone remember it ?, 60's crude puppeteering on ITV. Everyone in the pub thinks he's a figment of my imigination.

Yes Mother, no Mother - he was a very sarcastic fish.

From tv.cream.org: FERGUS THE FISH (1960-5) ITV FIVE MINUTE cartoon fillers featuring recidivist wooden fish swimming in a river with swishy cellophane plants in it. The plotline rarely changed - Fergus's mother (who was equipped with long lacy trailing bits) would leave, and give him a list of things not to do while she was out, to which he would reply "Yes mummy, No, mummy" in a burbly, must-be-a-fish voice. Then when she was gone, he'd do them all and get in trouble again.
