D'ya know, like cornflakes, I'd forgotten just how good Michael Bentine's Potty Time was. I loved it as a nipper! It's totally crazy! You can tell he was one of the Goons, a pioneer! Wonder what a Potty Time episode of Thunderbirds would be like! Anybody else like Potty Time?
Oui, mon Capitan. Toad likes it very much.
ReplyDeleteI met Michael Bentine when he was doing a summer show on Jersey . I was only in my teens , but he treated me as an equal and showed a genuine interest me and I suspect , everyone he met. Fascinating Guy with a wide interest in all kinds of esoteric subjects . A real gentleman .
ReplyDeleteWow, how lucky to have met him, Velbor!
ReplyDeleteWhat some might not be aware of is that he was also a very shy man, and wrote a short book on the subject - one quite unlike the usual self-help manuals.
