disgrace!The other week it was discovered that the internet contains 0 pictures of Bernie Clifton and his Ostritch. Now try find picture of bella emberg dressed as blunder woman, betcha can't. I wonder if bernie and bella were just my parents dressed up - and they were never a part of other people's childhood?

SpeculationThe ostrich used to have a stuffed Bernie Clifton on his back which he worked using his wings via a rudimentry system of levers and pullies, to give the effect of having a comedian on his back.
Bella Emberg was in fact two blokes in a converted dinner lady suit, again using mostly pullies and levers to create the effect of a rough old comedy bint.
I can't be sure of any of this of course.
