    RIP Mr. Lambert :(


    I loved the Lambert Puppet Theatre when I was a young 'un. Is it still open for school tours?

    RIP, knew his sons from getting the train to school.

    (Judge and Mr Crow also passed away with him, as no one will be able to match his voice.)

    Was a great fan of Wanderley Wagon until the early 70ies, watched it every day after school. Then my parents brought me into see the Dog Show in the RDS where the wagon was present, I walked over to it and saw the thing empty inside. My parents tried to explain to me that they didnt actually live in it and that it was all made up somewhere else. I never watched it again.

    AFAIK they don't have most of the series. Tape was expensive back then, programmes like this were not deemed important enough for archival, and this was before the concept of repeating programmes ad nauseam like they did with Bosco (in comparison I believe they have all or at least the majority of episodes of this).

    And this isn't just an RTÉ thing - loads of British TV programmes from the 60s and 70s have been lost too but many have been recovered thanks to international distribution, private collections, etc.
