    Like how hard would it be to make a new one, though? Bit of wood, paper maché, white paint, wool...

    Infact they could start the 1st episode with make-and-do: Bosco: the ressurection


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,418 ✭✭✭Steveire


    i like that idea, now to figure out how to incorporate a washing up liquid bottle...

    when i was a kid, i went to a bosco show, they were raffeling a bosco puppet after and i was so delighted when my name was called!!!! To this day i still have it, sad i know considering im that little bit to old for dolls, teddies, all those kids toys that were so amazing to us growing up!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    Boscos great!!! He was stolen but i like the ressurection idea! I have the Bosco soundtrack on 12inch LP!!!!!

    Somebody I went to college with - it was her mates who stole the puppet. One of the Lambert kids was in UCD and had Bosco in a big case and they nicked him for a joke. Then they took him on hols to San Francisco and took a pick of him waving with the Golden Gate bridge in the background and faxed it to one of the papers here!!! They returned him in the end / called up and said they found him! :D
    Anyhoos I always wanted a Bosco puppet but my mum said they were too dear! A kid in school had one but his nose was broken off so it wasn't the same as the "real" Bosco!! One of the presenter guys moved to our road abt 10 years ago and we all used to sing the Bosco song as he walked by which looking back was a bit bold!! Sorry David-from-Bosco if you're reading this!! :D:D

    As a red head who grew up during the bosco era, i would like to say i hope hes burning in hell for the anguish his mop of wool-hair caused to me and my kind. bad enough the kids had fireman sam to slag us with, but bosco had the edition of being irish. thank God intensive counselling has stopped me from dissappearing into cardboard boxes with kitchen knives anymore!

    Bosco was brilliant. But I dont think he should be brought back. For a few reasons.

    Kids today wouldnt appreciate him for what he is. They're all wrapped up in their playstations and other wire filled boxes.

    Also, to keep modern kids' interest, they would make terrible attempts to modernise Bosco, and in doing that, kill him.

    The only people who would watch it would be those who remember good telly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    its true but I taped the kids show count down last week and mam was playing during the week, I was in my room and as soon as I heard that squeaky little voice I went running down the hall screaming BOSCO like a little child, and proceeded to sit on the edge of the seat with my eyes all a sparkle and glued to the screen! Like old times!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,132 ✭✭✭Dinner


    Is that countdown being repested by anychance. I missed it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    I dunno, they'll probably do another one in a while, they generally do, I didn't see it I got about 10 seconds of Bosco before mam said through gritted teeth "You can watch it tomorrow!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 14 Nicky B

    Thats true. And his real reason was so us kids would be too preoccupied with Bosco that we wouldn't realise that we're all ridiculously poor.
    I had the album too, next time I'm back in the Motherland I'll have to pull it out, take a heaping helping of mind-bending drugs and see what happens. Ooooh I'm excited!!!!!
