tv in the mid 80's

my childhood memories of television are gradually fading, for which i'm grateful. television has come a long way in the last 20 years. but, every now and again, something is dredged up from the dark recesses of my mind. something frightening and wrong.
for those of you old enough to remember pob [ragdoll's first kids program way back in the early 80's], i have a .
i have always suspected that sunday morning television was much more frightening for children in the 80's, but been unable to provide any real evidence to back up my hypothesis. finally, after years of frustration, i have my proof.
separated at birth

yes people, pob was the bastard offspring of the "lord of fucking darkness!" it's little wonder i found his visage such a disturbing and unsettling sight as a child. and, perhaps more relevantly, why i can't look at kelly osborne without feeling ill.

Didn't he used to spit on the screen then write his name, I have a vague memory of the show being axed due to the aforementioned spitting.

God, I remember the charming little gobbing puppet that was Pob! I'd hate to be the one who had to wash his jumpers. *laughs*

And the resemblance truly is uncanny.

I'd like to scrub that girl's face and show her how to put on proper goth make-up!

TBF, I don't think decent make-up would make *that* much difference...

Point taken. She's still look like a cross between Pob and a fraggle. *giggles*

Kelly Osbourne = spoilt ugly little brat, all the townie birds at work think she's really pretty and got 'such an individual sense of style'. Muppets following a muppet, now i have proof.
