Mr Squiggle Part 2

[@critchook]

I said "upside down, Miss Jane" to the 6 year old today, and he had no idea what I was talking about. So here we are. I'm glad someone has 'tubed some of these. Thanks.

[@MrSmurfyDog]

This show had everything a kid like me in the 70s could want. Imagination, suspense, humour, not to mention a rocket, a steam shovel and a rude blackboard! RIP Norman H. See you on the moon.

[@fjbutch]

my seven year old son Conor has just discovered and now loves Mr sqiggle...and we all still do...and of course, miss Jane too....

To all of us kids of the 70's THIS show and Play School had a lot to do with the way we grew up. Both shows were fun with a lot of goofing around and before you knew it you were learning. Nothing was taken too serious but learning was always important. Even when Mr Squiggle walked off or got distracted he was always told to come back and finish his work. 'HE' never screamed 'Abuse' or 'Domestic Violence' when Miss Jane grabbed his arm, he just knew he was being told. I

I remember this show, it must been 20 years or so since I last watched it. this show inspired a entire generation.

[@quizmaster85]

"HURRY UP!!" That phrase never gets old.

[@Kelly.Sutton]

loved it as a kid and love it even now!!

[@iconocast]

mr squiggle is the bomb. watched this all the time as a kid.

[@minh628]

I used to live in Aussie and I love this show!!!

[@Geekman333]

Used to watch this back in the 70s. Great stuff.

[@lap0sa]

I LOVED MR SQUIGGLE STILL DO

[@uppon2]

LOL I love how he sounds sarcastic and almost condescending when he says Miss Jane. Yes Miss Jane, Oh really Miss Jane?

[@scottmcphee2076]

I do not watch kid's television any more, but it is a shame that there is less shows for them today. TV critics like the shows aired on ABC 3. Most of them are good quality. The commercial stations bury their kid's shows in early morning time slots. Mr Squiggle was fun to watch. It encouraged creativity and imagination.

[@Remus0387]

Mr squiggle, i loved this show as a kid, blackboard so wonderfully grumpy.

[@mardisaurus]

Happy 50th Birthday today Mr Squiggle, you legend

[@zaniac100]

Mr Squiggle is super trippy. The hat is attached to another pencil above, and the operator draws his picture above, and the head follows below.

[@MaTtHeW00369]

aaaahh, without mr squiggle i wouldnt be able to draw as well as i do today what a legend that little marshan was

[@jacobbyrne9355]

HAPPEY BIRTHDAY Mr Squiggle and hello miss jane.

[@iconocast]

[@CrabmanGaming]

Blackboard the grumpy bugger lol I loved this show growing up, and no-one knows what I'm on about when I talk about these kinds of things because I live in England now

[@SuperRadico]

Bring back Mr Squiggle, even if they are the repeats of the old ones, youve got plenty of channels ABC

[@graffartistcaz5741]

[@crazykidjake]

YES!!! he used the scare the crap outa me to.... hahahaa so many memories

[@Meggarra]

omg i remember this episode too!!!! i love him so much still!

[@nic4sports]

Notice that you never see the top of Mr Squiggle's hat? There has to be something about it that makes it possible for the puppet to draw... I am thinking that Norman Hetherington may be holding the hat in some way to create pressure so the pencil can draw. I am not sure, it's just amazing.

[@misspoida]

i used to love this show!!!

[@budgiebreder]

i miss him! i was like i don't know 3 - 5 when he left tv!

[@Normkangaroo]

[@Girlfriendgf4]

[@MeFrom07]

[@joalchin]

RIP Norman Hetherington, creator of Mr Squiggle, who died today.

[@shaizakopf]

BRING BACK MR SQUIGGLE!

[@alZiiHardstylez]

I really have no idea how Mr. Squiggle is able to do that. :P

[@Normkangaroo]

No it was shown on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) weekday afternoons. The clip here was broadcast in the early 80's. The show at the end of the clip was a short French cartoon about a dolphin but I didn't tape it all at the time.

[@Jantzenw]

Mr Squiggle frightens me.

[@uppon2]

LOL and a doughnut for an earing miss Jane

[@Normkangaroo]

ah the mysteries of television haha

[@mattman1981]

HURRY UP! hehe gold!

[@hornyhue]

my daughter showed this video.

[@burakhan22]

someones controlling him like a puppet but how do they draw so good like that? yes miss jane.

[@iluvSchleeping]

omg! just figured out why he has that massive rod on his head! i think the guys holds that to move his head and that's how he can draw on the board!

[@summerwind1974]

I Love Blackboard! Thanx for posting this... does anyone have Gus the Snail or Bill Steamshovel?

[@Mentorcase]

Blackboard was my favourite, HURRY UP HURRY UP!

[@MadaboutSvR08]

[@PBAYW]

I know what you mean, I'm living in America now. And they don't know about play school either. tut tut lol.

[@gavlaing]

[@gavlaing]

blackboard souunds like john laws andmr squiggle sounds like mr burns

[@thesteveus]

What was that bit at the end? With the dolphin

[@missypixy]

Do you think you could download any more Mr Squiggle clips?

[@DoobyDoo2]

[@CrAZychicke]

[@Fishfridge93]

[@1910anahi1979]

omg so scary puppet!!!! im scar for life

[@JasmineAtlas]

awwwww. i miss mr squiggle. the kids shows these days are terrible. and they have lots of fighting in them... not healthy for little kids.

[@qotu01]

Remember there was a spacehip and he had to leave in a hurry and they would pick him in and it would take off and go to this cut out fake moon ? It was like a watering can and his nose stuck out.

[@bumos]

i swear his a scary lookin puppet, hate to see him standin at the end of ur bed lol

[@iluvSchleeping]

oh i hadn't read the comment below... i was all excited that i'd finally figured it out but it's already been said

[@st3v0s]

blackboard is a mad dog

[@fjbutch]

@benjaminjamesrodda His Hat extends quite high and out of sight so the artist can grasp the hat and draw quite freely....

[@JAYDIZZL3]

i love this shit!!

[@Padfoot934]

Haha the pig rules - he was actually kinda freaky in the way he said "no Miss Jane, yes miss jane" actually that may be because I was brought up in the 'rude' generation

[@MCFace07]

secretly, squiggle and miss jane are lovers

[@Brendanvio]

Mmmmm, HURRY UP Blackboard was a wanker, but that term is now part of my vocabulary.

[@millertas]

MIss Jane Where's Miss Pat!!!

[@brettshears]

Didn't Miss Jane passes away fr0m cancwr I remember something about that

[@missceepink]

yeh he sounds real creepy. i used to be amused by mr squiggle. i loved him but now to watch it again it freaks me out.. yes miss jane..

[@phillip5245]

Where's Gus? And Bill?

[@todosbien]

Was this on French TV? At the end it goes to some French thing...

[@lycrags]

Hurry Up!!

[@billylilly1251]

was there ever a miss rebecca ?

[@TheBundychick82]

billy lilly yes but just called Rebecca it was the guy who played mr squiggle daughter

[@benjaminjamesrodda]

how does he draw? he's a puppet! wouldn't the strings like not press against the paper enough?

[@jasnavs]

WOAH. how the heck did he get a duck? freaky stuff

[@specdecible]

Upside down upside down everything is upside down...

[@Normkangaroo]

@MrSmurfyDog Couldn't agree more MrSmurfyDog :)

[@zaniac100]

@benjaminjamesrodda His head is controlled by a rod that runs through his hat. The operator is probably drawing the same thing above with another pencil attached to the top of the hat.

[@mammalalian]

Ever notice how his freakishly long hat always disapears off of the top of the screen?

[@pictonoldskool]

that was funny
