Re: Emu's world

Didn't Grottbags have her own series too?

Re: Emu's world

She did yes,I think she shared a flat with two puppets or something,Emu's world came first, then the pinkwindmill,the grotbags spin off show, I remember hating her calling kids, those "orrible Brats" and now I remember croc, he was kind of sweet!

Re: Emu's world

Re: Emu's world

Re: Emu's world

Slightly too old for Pink Windmill,but Rod Hull was never off the TV in the late 70's.I always found him quite sinister
I too found some links to "Grotbags" singing career,but not sure its the same woman.

but I like the 'Robot Redford' thing, possibly Rod Hull's best joke

Re: Emu's world

Bit surreal that Grottbags as a singer, recording artist

Re: Emu's world

Yep and Parkinson was asked if he'd have them on his last show and he's refused point blank!!

She lives down here in Somerset, or she used to. Her house overlooks Hawkridge Reservoir in the Quantock Hills.
