Bosco Presenters

T.G Catter

We had big argument in our house last night about the names of the presenters of Bosco (i know but it was that or study for exams)
I said there was a philip and 2 of my house mates say i'm wrong,
I said there was a suzy and they all say i'm wrong, i think im right, so how many can you remember?
Here's what we came up with,
Frank
Philip (y/n)
Marian
Suzy(y/n)
Johnathan

There's more.... care to enlighten me anyone.....

You must have some memory. I remember watching the very first episode of Bosco aged 5 but can't recall it in that level of detail.

Watching the repeats, actually

Anyone name the male presenter here, the guy who goes through the magic door? Can't place him.

Can anyone remember what Times The Tide from Bosco consisted of? All I can recall is that it was some sort of animation.

Just to give you a heads-up, boys and girls,

The actor who plays Bosco will be interviewed on Radio 1 at -edit- 18:30; he's today's guest on Des's Irish Discs

(knock-off version of Desert Island Discs), spilling the beans on a career voicing the puppet we all loved... or were terrified of.

Remember someone kidnapped him and threw him into the UCD pond?
It was on the front page of all the papers. So funny.

Bosco was kidnapped. The kidnappers used take photographs of Bosco and used send them to a newspaper.

Bosco was returned safe and sound as far as I can remember

I thought it was 1985 but seeing as one the episodes on the DVD is dated 1987 I would say the latter.

1996

If the info on this RTE archive player link is right (and I have seen incorrect dates on it) "new" episodes of Bosco were still being transmitted in 1988. Probably produced 1987 and transmitted late 87/early 88. It's safe to say this must have been the last original series to be transmitted before they began rerunning old episodes well into the 90s.

I've been re-watching Strumpet City (1980) and noticed that Paul Burton, who at the time would have been one of the Bosco presenters, has an uncredited small speaking part in episode 2 as one of the scab workers in the dockyard scene leading up to where the striking workers are baton charged by the police.
