The first creation of the new company was broadcast from 1985 to 1988. He was a sort of ‘goblin baby’ who lived in the TV and interrupted normal transmission. Pob knocked on the back of the screen and then introduced himself by writing his name on the screen. He created his programme by interacting with his special adult guests. Guests for the series included fans of Pob such as Spike Milligan. This was Ragdoll’s first collaboration with skilled puppeteer Robin Stevens. Robin went on to work as Jim in Rosie and Jim, Tom in Tots TV and co-created Boohbah.
