And yes, I reaaalllyyy want to see the entire series! This one's for @awnaves 😉
"Originally released in 1967 as a weekly comic book called “Candy”, the bizarre domestic set up of two life-sized mannequin children and their “parents” — a pair of humanoid pandas — was dreamed up by renowned production studio Century 21, founded by British TV producer and film director Gerry Anderson."

@see_the_sus OMG! I think I could turn this into a horror story. Haha
Is @FrankCannon familiar with this? Maybe @BillyBones ?
@see_the_sus 🙀 Wow, no! I know all of the other shows & things mentioned and loved them at the time. Weirdly, seeing those stills makes me feel that this really could have worked back then, and as kids we wouldn't have found it *that* horrific!
Since we're alike in many ways, I wonder whether @FrankCannon agrees with my initial thought that this looks like it would have worked as a cross between Joe 90 & Rupert Bear (one of my fave puppet progs as a kid) 🤔
Watched a smidge of Rupert and I wanna know who the blue critter is!
@see_the_sus That's Raggety! He's a grumpy wood-troll made of sticks 😁
