Absolutely correct, except for the obvious error of getting 4 an 5 in the wrong order.

Horsey it pertains to puppets.
Playfull ask yourself this ,at school how many kids did you hear being called Steve Zodiac compared to every kid with glasses being called Joe 90? That alone elevates the bespectacled hero above the chisel chinned pilot.

They've invented the self-ejecting tampax. No strings attached.

...every kid with glasses being called Joe 90?.

As an insult.

I win

I hate sounding childish but do you f**k win, Hoe 90 wasn't an insult nor was being called the Milky Bar Kid. I should know my mate wore bins and his mother said it was a sign of intelligence.

Whoops. Sorry. I thought you said two black and white television programmes, including one made for children and a sitcom, an American country rock band from the 60s/70s, a contributor to Gardener's Question Time and Red Dwarf.

Don't worry mate it's an easy mistake to make.

A Rubovian Legend was always my favourite.With the gardener and his cat always out thinking the king and the nobs.
They were puppets but I don't remember strings but the picture wasn't that good in those days.

Hoe 90? now that sounds like the kind of show that might feature higher up my list!

I loved that but at the same time I always thought it was a bit creepy.

I never thought that.
I've found a clip.
