Sooty was my fave. I knew him personally you might say. My auntie lived in the same road as the Corbetts and sooty used to sit in the window and wave at us.

when i was very small i had a muffin puppet, think it is the song more than anything, the tv was a massive big box with a tiny screen

I remember Torchy.When I was a girl there used to be a man in the cinema who would walk up and down the aisle with a torch in his hand and if you were up to no good he would shine his torch on you. We always used to sing 'Torchy Torchy the battery boy ' and he would go mad flashing his torch and threatening to throw you out.
How times have changed ;-)
Was great to watch the Muffin the Mule clip DrFilth.
