For some odd reason the smell of oranges always reminds me of Fortycoats. I think it came out in the Autum and as kids we used to eat buckets of mandarin oranges...
I remember Sofarsogood and slightly bonkers had mad pigtails i think
What year did it come out? Im 35, trying to remember how old i was 0 -

Yes, I noticed how old she was when they showed it on TV3 a while back. She must have been about 40 when she was kitted out in that ridiculous school uniform. Gawd, no wonder it drove her on to become a barrister http://www.barcouncil.ie/barristers/Ms_Virginia_Cole_McColgan/921/ 0

Granted it's an 11 year old post, I'd no idea TV3 showed it, does anyone know was it just on some clips show or did they repeat it proper?0 -

I've only the vaguest memory of the Pickarooney, played by Des Nealon. How often did he appear in it? I dont think he was a regular protagonist like the Whirlygig Witch. No memory at all of the puppet thingy, presume that was his sidekick?

Because I have way too much time on my hands of a Saturday morning, I did a search on the Pickarooney on Irish News Archive from January 1983 to December 1987, the length of Fortycoats & Co run. He seemingly only appeared in the storyline titled "the Xeruak Mystery" which was shown in early December 1987, think it might have been the penultimate Fortycoats outing, certainly one of the last. So the Pickarooney wasn't a recurring character but more a "baddie of the week". Queen Roola Boola makes her only appearance in this story too.
Edit: turns out I was wrong. See below post.

Seems I was wrong about the Pickarooney not being a recurring character, "Enter The Pickaroony" was an early Fortycoats story from late January 1983, so he was there from the beginning. His name is spelt slightly differently here so this wasn't coming up in my earlier search.
Edit: a bit more exposition here on that storyline.
