Pipkins (Inigo Pipkin) kids TV from the 70s

Seek your inner child farmerbarleymow .
But yes, it's not how I remember it. Hartley is a bit sinister. When he said ' Mrs muddles is ill with the tiredness ', the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

That's because the evil puppet had poisoned her.

I remember this well. Hartley Hare looked like he lived in a dustbin and I loved the drawn out “Time for a story” bit.

Another from that period that matches it for weirdness is Cosgrove Hall’s “Chorlton and the Wheelies” - exp. Fennella the witch’s giant son Clifford (the only part viewers saw of him was his legs)

Pipkins Pig had always had his head in the trough, and began every conversation by shaking bits of foam and debris off his face.

Oh no, I love him. It's such a grown up show, they don't act like kids.

Not as good as I remember.

As do I

 

[MrSki]

It was dreadful.

And you can see the bits that control the annoying puppet's arms. What a rubbish telly programme.

Oi.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Oi.

You know I'm right - just look at the utter shitshow that it is. They should burn the orignal recordings.

Calamity1971 could light the ceremonial pyre.

You take that back young man !
Gary would be ashamed of you.

Hartley is a bit sinister.

Understatement, it's terrifying, that raggy puppet with the dead eyes, nightmare central.

Aw man I think he's ace. I even made a puppet out of my old brown towel because of him. Still got it, my daughter sleeps with it. Does look a bit cuter than Hartley though.

 

[UrbaneFox]

I liked it when he answered the phone with a hook attached to his paw.

[geminisnake]

It was. My sister used to watch it while I sneered. When "Mr Pipkin died" Harley Hare made a rather casual announcement and they just carried on.

It was never as good after he died

Hartley reminds me of John Lydon.
