love the memories..Hartley looks like someone has washed their car with him, wrung him out and left him on the line for months in the sun! he was really fucked up and yes very Larry Grayson!!
My favourite Harley Hare. Never looked scary to me, just a bit shabby. I wasn't scared of any of the puppets either. You just wouldn't get another Hartley Hare on childrens tv these days. Everything is that politically correct it's ruined anything that gets put on tv. They seem to forget most of the school kids are watching 18 rated movies now! I agree Hartley for Prime Minister!!
I never realised!! It was great at the time but this is in the vane of Pugwash. Hartley telling us what you can do with a puppet. He then procedes to shag it!!!!!. Wrong really, but we were so much more innocent then.
Can someone point me to some kid's TV on today that is as subversive as this?? I don't think something like this could be shown on TV today at any time never mind kiddie prime time!
This scared the bejeesus out of me as a child and is, if anything, even more disturbing now. Hartley is scarier than Chris Cunnigham's hideous man-rabbit-demon. Pipkins was an atrocity, whatever posessed them?
PIPKINS was the best thing ever made for children ! I loved it in the 1970`s and still do - great memories . Pig was my favourite with his brummie voice, outfits and constant need for food . A couple of DVD`s with ,sadly the only surviving episodes on came out a few years back .Buy it and give our PIPKINS friends the respect they deserve .
a lot of people dont know that the voice for hartley was created by sandy gall from the ITN news. funny to think he did those afgahnistan reports and heavy news and did this voice on the side.
Not only was Hartley, Topov and Pig scary. It is quite clear now that Hartley and Larry Grayson are one and the same character, slightly upper class and very camp !!!! great memories.
Hartley looks like a pet that has been dead for three weeks, buried and then dug up and brought back to life.............. a bit "pet cemetary" looking
I discovered this video by typing in 'Joe Pipkin' thats a kid from "the halloween tree" that i love. i think i watch this video like 20 times a day. its great and scary
Very funny - but I agree creepy - I might get nightmares!!....I remember as a child I always thought the voice of Hartley Hare was Larry Grayson (camp tv presenter who's catchphrase was "what a gay day!") Also do a search for the Naughty Rainbow episode - it's hilarious!!
Fantastic Thanks so much for posting it up. Takes me back to me young days Ha ha camp as Christmas. I'm looking for Humphrey Cushion too as I can't remember the name of the kids show he was on round the same time Yayy!
this programme was my childhood, i loved tortoise as well and the man who used to say half way thru it now its TIME and all the clocks used to go off, and i think they used to tell a story, loved it, im 40 so it must have been around the early mid seventies bless...
I used to watch this as a young un,man you just dont realise how camp them puppets were,plus it looks like it need to go doctors it looks all dusty and horrible,looks like su'um I wash my car with...lil gay horny hare
my favourite too he was sooo rude sometimes I loved him too, I was very young but still I can remember him but funnily enough i DONT REMEMBER HIM getting it on with Michael the glove puppet....however, if thats what does it for him lol
Cruel really...forcing Hartley to perform while he was in the later stages of miximitosis. He was a real pro to the end, and boy that ego! Apararently he had a massive libido, and was often at it in the fields behind the studio.
That is so filthy its hilarious. I was about 5 when i used to watch this. Ahh innocent days. It was my favourite program. Didnt realise Hartley was camp lol
I've come over all wistful! My, does'nt time fly! :(
