Scary Programme

[lankeela]

Does anyone remember a children's programme called Twizzle, about a little wooden puppet boy who could twizzle his arms and legs and make them longer? I was scared s******s thinking he could get in my bedroom window. He had a cat called Footso, and the song went 'miaow, miaow, purr, purr, I'm the cat with the silkiest fur'

Yes, I remember it. In fact I often say 'I'm not Twizzle' if someone asks me to reach for something that is clearly out of my reach! If they don't remember it, they think I'm mad!!
