Black Bob WAS boring. But I always thought it was because I wasn't rural enough to get it? Also wasn't it in black and white...maybe? At least the dog was black and the sheep were white anyway, and every box seemed to have a picture of either dog or sheep or old shepherd bloke...all in black and white. I skipped it.

I remember in Twinkle they gave away a plastic glove puppet of Sue from Sooty and Sweep. It folded up to nothing, and going to school I would shove it up my cardigan sleeve and then at dinnertime I would fill it up with gristly stew and wrung out greens, and tip the whole lot down the toilet. Happy days.
