Fingerbobs 


Gulliver the seagull collected pebbles and Flash the tortoise & Fingermouse collected feathers for a story at the end of the show.

Each character had their own song. e.g. Gulliver ( "I spread my wings . . . "), Scampi ("My name is Scampi, Scampi that's me") and Flash ("My name is Flash, But I don't dash, Who wants to run a race?").

Meanwhile, scary old Yoffie (ex-Playschool star Rick Jones) had his own special song describing how the Fingerbobs were created: "Yoffie lifts a finger, and a mouse is there - puts his hands together and a seagull takes the air; Yoffie lifts a finger and a scampi darts about . . . " etc etc ad-bloody-nauseam.

The cast was made of paper.

Fingermouse, Fingermouse
I am a sort of wondermouse
A hit, a miss, A blundermouse
Fingermouse, that's me
I am a mouse called Fingermouse
A mouse with guts and nerve
I get past cats so easily
with my famous body swerve
