i loved this show.I watched relentlessly. but when i tell others of my generation they don't remember it because it was on itv and not all in Ireland had the channel it was so witty and appealed to all ages. he was a genius that wrote with all his knowledge and life experiences which contained tragedy. but his gift to write characters is at its best. he treated his audience cleverly and therefore the humour is timeless. he was a goon and i loved his charactrrs the most but only discovered which ones he did as i grew up .. but with the puppets and colourful little sets plus the historical facts it was a show that should of been a wonderful world wide export.
wish there was more epsiodes available
