Perhaps it was the telephone he used to answer that gave you the fear
not having opposable thumbs it was fitted with a metal hook always made me laugh. But scary as Hartley was he was nowhere as near scary as Topov the Monkey *shudders*

Seem to remember being scared of his teath and disheveled look mostly...

We were too poor to go to see Star Wars
My mum thought it would be a great idea to appease us by buying the Star Wars sounds track LP - Great, listening to music that had no visional hook-in was a bad as it got "Doo da doo da doo da doooo do da doo da doo da doo daaaa."

Mainly because if you weren't careful and looked closely, you'd get home to discover that it wasn't the orignal artists on the album, and just a bunch of session musicions performing your favorite songs very badly...!!!

The lead character died during one series
and rather than spin a line like, "He's moved away" or something like that they told the truth: "Sorry children but Mr Pipkin has died."
I don't know whether to admire their honesty or not...
