Bosco - The Magic Door

[Prettyredflames]

OMG this brings back memories

[MikeyX2Times]

Knock knock open wide, see whats on the other side

Knock knock anymore, come with me through the magic door....

MOTHERFUCKERS

[TomthatiscalledTom]

I love the thought of the snow leopard grabbing Bosco (and taking at least three of Pauline Lambert's fingers off in the process) running around the cage and having a tug-of-war over him with one of her cubs 'til he was ripped in half

[mauneen19]

This was one of my all time favourite shows as a child. Can anyone tell me the name of the music playing while Bosco is in the zoo while absorbing the cat?

[Derekmurran]

Bosco is a handbag

[DJEMMEY25]

Is Bosco male or female? lol

[xxcrystalishxx]

i love de way bosco always said isnt she really beautiful ha

[zoomzoom03]

It's always the FECKIN ZOO!!

[Lionesskeeper]

The magic door was my TARDIS as a kid

[MollyRayForever]

"when she's running very fast her tail helps her" - wtf? running WHERE? From one end of her tiny enclosure to the other?

[rayjlawlor]

This was great when I was younger, but my corrupt filthy mind now has me ruining Bosco.  Look at the cat licking himself just ridiculous stuff.

[asho320]

who did d voice 4 bosco

[STAGENAME1]

@asho320 Paula and Miriam Lambert from The Lambert Puppet Theatre.

[froj75]

Why did he bother knocking if he's just going to break in anyway?

[muskrat477]

dublin zoo!...thats totaly out of character for "THE MAGIC DOOR"

[steviedees]

 magic musrooms

[StewieGriffin2009]

Why didn't the magic door ever open into Marian's gowl?

[10guitars]

@StewieGriffin2009 jesus, that show was filimed in the early 80's could you imagine the hair on it , you would need the magic fuckin chansaw to get to the good bits.

[VonnyM]

Uafásach~~annoying little bugger!

[Sarah010790]

God i used t fuckin love this show!!

[cxtroen]

No not just the zoo My driveway once

[irishswift]

'YOU MUST SPEND AN AWFUL LOT OF TIME LICKING YOURSELF!!!' HAHA

[MissMisfitX]

what kinda shite did we watch as kids :P

[jaybenny100]

what is with the fuking zoo.. always the zoo..

[rabbitwho]

I went to see that snow leopard! She was lovely. But the last time I saw her she was skinned and lying on a bench in the gift shop.

[TomthatiscalledTom]

The snow leopard should have pulled Bosco off Pauline Lambert's hand and ran around and around the cage with the little John Lydon-haired gobshite in her jaws. Then had a tug-of-war over him with one of her cubs until he ripped in half. That would have been classic

[xxcarolhxx]

lol ya it was alwayz de zoo

[oooldred]

ha haaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha de fukin zoo!! thats a giraffe bosco yi sap . .

[keithc1977]

My favourite part of Bosco was Seamus and Shelia Mc Spud, but alas despite repeated searches on You Tube, there seems to be none available...

[philipjonesgreens]

I agree Paadzer it was always Dublin Zoo, I mean if they wanted to stick with Zoo's they could have went to Fota in Cork.

[tyberfallow]

if i were that leopard i'd tear that bitch a new hole

[Palmy543231]

ahh, always the zoo - the magic door wasn't really that magic afterall

[spadey25]

i'm going to the zoo tomorrow i'm going to find that door.

[xxcarolhxx]

lol

[Queenofmynamesucks]

cheap rte didn't go anywhere besides dublin zoo :-( - ohwell bosco was still good ad a child haha

[LerafoLuap]

The poor leopard is dying to get out...

[bestirishfirefighter]

Dat Leopard is looking at Bosco and is thinking "LUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!" lol

[WordWizard1]

imagine the leopard got hold of a bit of boscos hair, and pulled his head of... all you see is the tips of two fingers, sticking up out of his collar :D

[DJEMMEY25]

@WordWizard1 His head?? Is bosco not female. The voice sounds female to me lol

[WordWizard1]

no bosco is definatly supposed a boy, a young boy, but i think he is voiced by a woman, im not sure. but i think if he was meant to be a girl they would have called him boscina or something girly :)

[DJEMMEY25]

@WordWizard1 2 different women done the voice for bosco over the years so thats why i tought bosco was female lol

[Paadzer]

did the magic door open to anywhere apart from Dublin Zoo?

[madinthehead]

@Paadzer I remember they used to go to premier dairies where they showed how the milk goes into the bottles but it was mainly the zoo

[madinthehead]

@Paadzer They used to go to premier dairies factory where they showed how the milk bottles are filled but it was mainly the zoo

[musicmusicalme]

@Paadzer I think it wwnt to a school once...but pretty much the zoo :)

[EBIKE100]

@Paadzer

Nah....RTE didn't have the rights. If they had the rights to the Shelbourne, it would have opened into the Shelbourne.

[madinthehead]

@Paadzer yeah they went to the milk factory but it was mainly the zoo

[SuperJenmo]

Bosco would love to give the pussy 'a little rub' alright!!

[lolacola23]

he he he

[Ballybawn]

OMG all da memories are flooding back. Loved Bosco

[MollyRayForever]

that poor animal is pacing because its in captivity. people were so ignorant in those days thank god we have moved on somewhat!

[MollyRayForever]

ha ha 2:04!

[nobber1587]

Even then RTE were c*nts!

[SuperDoom5]

Oh yeah, there was other yokes too that lived out by the sea. I remember a telescope or sonething. And that scary fucking tree that talked.

[AMULET72]

CHARLIE CRANN........THE CUNT

[SuperDoom5]

I remember doing something bold once and been banned from watching Bosco(in black n white) for a week.... I was devastated!!!!

[AnAuldDubliner]

i never saw the magic door at the zoo

[85tommy85]

it was always the zoo!!!!!, and bosco was fairly saucy!!! in one episode marian had drawn an eye and nose and bosco said "keep it up and you'll have a face" pup

[eimsnic]

no way they're at the zoo!!!!

wasnt so much a magic door as a staff door into dublin zoo. but the suspense was killer everytime!!!!

[OrthodoxSteel]

THIS IS CALLED A SNOW LEOPARD.....ISN't "SHE" REALLY BEAUTIFUL

BLATANT SEXUAL PREFERENCE

[OrthodoxSteel]

WELL!!! How do they know it was a SHE

Coulda been a "HE"

[lemoneylemon]

[horriblemen]

the magic door isnt magic at all. its just a door to dublin zoo

[Trionaoc]

[EI747SYDNEY]

[Paulee80]

Was Bosco meant to be a boy or a girl??...

[clinkercontrol]

[piratesandrum]

I think Androgenus is the word

[emma150895]

[bestirishfirefighter]

That snow leopard wanted Bosco badly. Never get away with that today with all the health and safety stuff.

[dintbo]

[ioorah]

BRING BACK BOSCO!!!! luved bosco sooooo much when i was a child. remember "the toungetwisters"? grainne couldn't sing to save her life, but we didn't care. remember - "tidy up, goodbye, goodbye, that's all we have time for today. see you soon goodbye, goodbye, for more stories, more fun and more play. see you soon goodbye, goodbye - and remember now.....you're the tops"! ahhhhhhh, when life was simple. xxx

[trishahewitt]

[dagimp4]

will someone put up the mcspuds??? used 2 love them

[sarahinnavan]

Oh Jesus, yeah. That'd be briliant!

[DeadliestReflex]

WTF is this? My dogs name is Bosco and I had no clue about this.

[ianmck76]

It's an children's tv show from ireland from the early 80's....

[DeadliestReflex]

[KILLALAlad]

i used to luv this when i was a child

!!:)

[seanomiochain]

[supaho1989]

[Nafster007]

or the odd time some young fella on a farm running around waving n shit

[Nafster007]

why did the magic door always lead to dublin zoo?? wan't much of a fuckin magic door then was it?? was it broken or something ?

[wardcaroline]

bosco rocks my socks

[biggussconnus]

The cruelty of the Zoo is lost on Bosco. Himself confined to a box where he still is to this day. Has anyone seen Kill Bill? 6 inch punch Bosco you'll be out in no time.

[vintagerunners]

bosco...living legend!! what would we have learned without him?? I wouldn't know how to tidy up...or knock on doors...or that this cat yoke spends a lot of time licking its self! hilarious!! ur my hero bosco! xxx

[OprahWinfreyAteMyDog]

Ahhhhh memories!!! <3

[JayEire]

It's not a magic door !  It's a door to the feckin' Dublin Zoo !

[timmy31b]

[TeaParasite]

[hannahorpen]

Bosco part 2 the puppet loses its head

[DarrinWard]

I think I'm going to throw up.

[nigefal]

It always seemed to be the feckin zoo the anticipation den the zoo...again.Like tuning in for an episode of lost and nothing happens but tune in for the next one might be different..in this case it might not be the zoo...again thats what i used to think!

[olliebrooke]

I used to fucken hate the zoo, how shit! The factories were the best! The McSpuds rawked but the plonsters were the best. that weird ass one about the forest creatures was freaky and so was the one about the old dude with all the clocks, LSD must have abounded for sure!!?

[dee232007]
