Sad :(

Such a simple concept - loved watching Mr Squiggle when I was a kid.

Ditto - I grew up in the Miss Jane era.

I like Blackboard.

Who would have thought "upside-down Miss Jane" would be such a good saying as an adult ;)

I have a VHS tape from the mid-80's with Agro and various TV characters speaking to their relevant hosts in an X-rated manner.

Agro and Anne-Marie ( ;) ), Mr.Squiggle and Miss Jane, and although not speaking, Fat Cat and Humphrey.B.Bear acting somewhat crudely to their human co-hosts.

My Dad got a hold of it years ago, I'm not sure how or from who but I believe it was put together as a Christmas type thing to flip around internally through the various networks. Classic, truly is classic.

My sister used to work at Channel 9 and would often get her hands on their "Christmas Reel" full of bloopers and pisstakes, generally incorporating crude humour, very funny stuff.

Norman Hetherington was only on Collectors on the ABC recently with his Mr Squiggle collection was amazing to see what he had devoted his life too!

So Sad.

I grew up with Mr Squiggle and Miss Jane.

I suppose you could say it was early TV.

Wasn't my favourite but he was a good part of my early childhood.

Thankyou Mr Squiggle for the memories.

I used to be wondered by your squiggles and how you done them.

"Great Stuff"
