Still plodding on with amassing a Bleep & Booster collection (somebody has to!). Managed to get the Pelham Puppet of the Rotundan, a friendly alien race! 3 down, one to go!
I used to love Bleep & Booster on Blue Peter and in the annuals as a strip, but ill be damned if I can recall the Rotundan! Theres something absolutely charming about the simple construction, maybe its childhood memories of watching The Woodentops and Bill and Ben!
Super find, Kevin. Quite a tricky Pelham puppet to find I'd imagine?
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yep, hard to find and a bit obscure. Good job it's only me looking for them!
DeleteI had the Pelham Bleep as a kid. I've no idea what happened to it, but I do remember the vacuum formed clear dome on his head was very fragile!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, I had to replace mine with a perspex egg!

ReplyDeleteYou're right about that. I can't recall the series in detail but the rotundans are all over the annuals.
