My Mom tells me that whenever Bosco wasn't on tv (taken off for horse racing or something) I used to get so upset that she rang up RTE to complain! I was only a toddler though....must have only been 2/3 so I can't be held accountable for my taste 21 years ago!

Dear Scuba Steve, consider this a pre-emptive welcome to The Cuckoo's Nest, where your kind are welcomed and revered,[strike]as well as being made[/strike] rather than being made the subject of ridicule.

i always thought "it" was a he but i dont really know.... perhaps "it's" asexual, since we havent seen any others of his species. perhaps the result of genetic engineering

Can everyone remember the tongue twisters where their neck got bigger.

And dont forget "Whats behind the magic door?"

Absolute classic. I want it back on the TV!!!

Nope, never heard of it. How does he/she looks like? We have a kind of apple which sounds a bit like that...

it used to be a puppet that lived in a box (that had a "5" on the inside part of the door), had red hair, and green and white striped clothes

Loved Bosco, but hated the Magic Door. You always thought there was going to be a great surprise, but all you got was stupid monkeys or elephants.
I remember having a Bosco hand puppet which my uncle got me from RTE when I was younger. Unfortunately the poor thing got destroyed as I threw it around a lot. I wish I still had it now...

For the person asking who Bosco is - there a pic here

I loved Forty Coats ... hated that red headed pox :mad: always with the Zoo!

I heard the guy who did Wanderly Wagon etc on the radio last week [could've been this week] going on about his museum ... I went there on a school tour back in the day ... talk about a waste of a day [I even thought so back then]!

Why are bosco's cheeks so red?
Yours would be too if you had a hand stuck up your arse all day!

As for the magic door im pretty sure that somewhere buried in Dublin zoo are the bones of a missing RTE camera crew
cos the poor feckers never seemed to be able to find their way out of the damn place.

Bosco was the founder of the Gay S&M movement in Ireland. He was into being handballed a lot.
