CBBC clip, Live and Kicking opening (21/3/98)

Some CBBC continuity with presenter Anji Kreft, into The Raccoons, and then out of that and into the opening of that morning's Live and Kicking via a helicopter (sort of). Before anyone asks, this is all the Live and Kicking that was on the tape, but that menu of what's to come at the very least gives you a flavour of the era. Seems to be from Saturday, 21st March, 1998, going by the BBC Genome website and the mention of Mother's Day. So, is Mr Blobby funny or not? People seem to forget that he was created as a spoof, specifically designed to wind up celebrities who thought they were making a kids' show as a Gotcha on Noel's House Party. Before long, though, he became the exact thing he was parodying, and therefore unbelievably irritating for the viewer, too. All of that said, I find his appearance here really quite amusing, and I put that down to his character changing in the interim into an utterly demented carefree unhinged destructive cheerful psychopath who needs it explaining to him why landing a helicopter in the studio they're all standing in isn't a great strategic move. I think I could watch Theakston bickering with and trying to control him all day long. Maybe I'm not right in the head. Many thanks to David for sending me this tape.
