This immortal cheerful, hippy low-budget puppetry with songs and stories earns a rightful place in the hallowed canon of good old things for sure. The one-man creative maelstrom at the centre of it all was ex-Play Schooler Rick Jones a.k.a. "Yoffy", a sort of ex-hippie Clement Freud in a grey poloneck, who sat at a minimalist wooden table in front of a minimalist blue background and conversed with the various characters he'd devised from gloves, pieces of card, ping-pong balls etc. In short, Yoffy lifted a finger, and a mouse was there. Put his hands together, and a seagull "Gulliver" took the air. Yoffy lifted a finger, and a scampi darted about constantly cooing to its five camp and glittery cohorts played by the five fingers of Jones' spare hand. Yoffy bent another, and a tortoise head peeped out - Flash a narcoleptic version of Magic Roundabout's Dylan with a "special shell" that detatched for carrying stuff. They all went off to collect stuff for use in the story at the end. As usual, the journey was better than the arrival. It probably cost an average of fifty pence an episode. Recession-beating genius!Read full review
