Reply To: KATE ANDERSON, who wrote some other stuff, then...
also, was i watching some version of children's bbc that only royston (?) gets, or was there a mascot called "bobby the banana"? please help. no one else believes me Ah, the CBBC *mascots*. Who can forget Gordon the Gopher or, indeed, Bobby the Banana...? Well, me, for one, until Kate jogged my failing memory. A penchant for alliteration and animate fruit (except bananas aren't really fruit, as any biologist will tell you) led to this bizarre facet of BBC children's TV while it was still resident in *The Broom Cupboard* and was helmed by Philip Schofield (pre-Coat of Many Colours), Simon Parkin (pre-working in McDonald's, probably) and the like. Eminently ignorable.
My fingertips hurt. I spent a while last night learning the chords to more B&S songs, and my bastard steel-strung acoustic has decided to hurt me for inflicting bad playing on it. Ho hum.
ByeBye, Liz.
