    So I'm wondering if any other Boardsies ever experienced this one...
    It probably should be in 'television', but I find After Hours always has the most traffic ;)
    When I was in primary school, about 4th or 5th class, myself and a few other students from my school won a competition to visit RTE studios to meet all the 'stars' (Bosco, Wanderly Wagon, Forty Coats etc.)
    I remember it was broadcast on Rte soon afterwards. I felt like I was famous!!
    I met Bosco, shook his little hand, met the cast of Fortycoats, went inside the Wanderly Wagon ( huge disappointment- it was used as storage!), knocked the magic door from Bosco. It was so amazing. Thing is, I'm starting to question whether it happened at all. My family don't remember it :(
    Is there any chance someone on Boards experienced this too?
    I'm guessing the year was 1986 or 1987

    Did the puppeteer stick his hands anywhere he shouldn't have?

    Can we just pretend it happened for the sake of anyone else who may or may not have been there!
    I'm pretty sure there was a photo or two from the experience :)

    Are you sure your school didn't just visit the Lambert Puppet Theatre? Common enough school trip and they were behind Bosco too. Well, up Bosco really.

    Maybe, that would explain a lot. Although Fortycoats had no puppets.
    I'm really leaving myself open for a slagging here, I love After hours &#55357;&#56834;

    I think we were younger, but it's so far back it's hard to recall.

    I remember Eugene Lambert being contrary, he was very abrupt asking us to pick up sweet wrappers. We would have done it anyway or the nuns would have clattered us. :D It ruined the friendly O'Brien image somewhat.

    We must have caught him on a good day. But then again we wouldn't have dropped sweet wrappers on the ground. :D

    You're lucky it wasn't the Rimini Riddle. Everyone who saw that died in mysterious circumstances.

    I didn't experience it, but Bosco regularly had kids on who had won prizes. In those days winning a trip to meet Bosco would have been like the a lotto win now. So I remember being jealous of the winners.
