Sad to here this. He and Derek Griffiths were part of my childhood (the less said about the terrifying Hamble the better)
RIP

Hamvle had a chilling effect on my childhood viewing.
Much like Hartley Hare. The depressed, flyblown Larry Grayson of puppets.

I'd forgotten about him Nurse - what were they trying to do to us!
Heard on a radio show that the guy who played Yofi (who was a serious country musician) hated doing Fingerbobs and cut fingermouse up with scissors as soon as he had filmed his last scene.

Remember seeing Play Away live when I was very young with him and Toni Arthur.
I remember realising that she was sexy even before I understood why. Judging by the wolf whistles from the rest of the (very young) audience I wasn't alone.

Sorry to keep returning to the topic of Pipkins, but to this day I still have more questions than answers. And a fair few nightmares.
All of the Pipkins puppets looked proper gammy and threadbare pretty much from the very first episodes. Why should this be? Who would set out to make worn-looking and manky puppets for a children's TV show?? Leading theory: the producers were hiring out the puppets for frottage parties for Furries.

How is Brian Cant the childhood hero of a 50 odd year old Turkish man, Zoltan?
