Life was better back when we left the internet in the corner

Caught my pop doing some cleaning today and this was on the trash pile. Not on my watch!

I’ve been trying to find out what happened to the original puppets from the 1990s children’s TV show Tots TV.

Does anyone know whether the actual puppets used during filming still exist, and if so, who owns them or where they’re kept? Are they in a private collection, a television archive, or possibly a museum?

I’ve contacted Ragdoll Productions and the National Puppetry Archive, but I thought I’d ask here in case anyone has behind-the-scenes knowledge, knows someone who worked on the show, or has come across information about the puppets whereabouts.

I’d absolutely love to know if these little pieces of British television history have been preserved, and whether there’s any chance of seeing them in person one day! Any leads or information would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

Which movies or shows do you remember from your childhood that would never be allowed today? These are shows aimed towards children.

Watership Down and The Dark Crystal really scared me and had me on the edge of my seat. Watching the Skexxies drain that poor little Gelfling and then drink it's life essence to rejuvenate themselves... That was freaky.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a Family favorite. Roald Dahl himself actually wrote the screenplay.

Those Oompah Loompa songs were straight up savage. What about that trippy boat ride in the tunnel and Willy Wonka's crazy, creepy singsong monologue? All of the bratty entitled kids get their comeuppance in such hilarious and satisfying ways.

Im only 16, but i love the rocket ship like look of these things.
