Biografie van Bosco
<b>Bosco</b> was an Irish children's television programme produced during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was produced by the Lambert Puppet Theatre. Bosco was voiced by Miriam Lambert initially; in later years Paula Lambert took over the character.<br />
<br />
The main character in the programme is Bosco, a small red-haired puppet with bright red cheeks and indeterminate gender. Bosco lives in a box, only leaving it to go on excursions to places such as Dublin Zoo or the H.B. factory.<br />
<br />
The roster of presenters included Jonathan (Ryan), Marian (Richardson), Frank (Twomey), Grinne, Philip & Susie and also Mary Garrioch and Peter FitzGerald.<br />
<br />
Any guests to the show enter and exit through the 'Magic Door'. This is also used to exit the shot to any inserts in the show. The Magic Door told viewers where people (or the camera shot) are going for the day's adventure. <br />
<br />
There are various short animations, usually stop-motion, as part of the show. The ''Plonksters'' were plasticine critters, which are continually engaged in fights or schemes against each other. Faherty's Garden starred the eponymous ''Faherty'' a dog, plagued by an amateur crow magician (Cornelius, who would often turn purple, much to his distress) in a series of shorts featuring stop-motion models. ''Freddy the Fox'' features a host of well-modelled characters each with distinctive traits, such as ''Fiachra the Frog''. There was also a cartoon featuring a potato family, ''The McSpuds'', that live in a supermarket (Savers). At night, the potato children, Sheila and Seamus, run amok. The ''Tongue Twisters'' were also regularly featured. <br />
<br />
Occasionally, characters from the Lambert Theatre's other children's series, Wanderly Wagon, would be introduced into the show.<br />
<br />
The show featured arts and crafts segments, in the style of the BBC's children's programme Blue Peter. Another prominent part of the show was story-time. A shared cultural experience for children in Ireland at the time, it ran for at least 300 episodes, but was repeated before (and later during) ''The Den'' daily until 1998, when it was replaced by The Morbegs.It was moved to BBC a year later and it was shown on BBC 2 and CBBC until about early 2000.It is presently on shown on Cbeebies every Monday and Tuesday.<br />
