| Story |
 Do you ever wonder about interference on your
television screen? It could be Pob - the first character produced
by Ragdoll Productions.
Pob lives inside your television and leaves messages for his special guests on labels with red and yellow string in his secret garden. |
 He sent
clues to Dick King-Smith, who was a popular children's author, to find out what
Pob had left him. Dick explained all of the historical places he came
across and was aided by his lovely black labrador - Hattie (who often got too
excited looking for what Pob had left them).
Pob left the item they were searching for attached to red and yellow string, and sometimes it was a joke item - at Dick's expense (which Pob laughs alot at). |
 Meanwhile cheeky Pob sends a Magic Box to Rod Campbell
to discover what's in it. But does Rob just open it? Oh no,
Rob sits down and draws a device to open it, as he knows that Pob leaves
messy surprises inside.
So once the drawing is done, he goes and builds it, then tries it out and avoid then surprise in the box. |
 Also Alan Dart makes things for Pob and shows you the
viewer how to do it too. Afterwards Pob plays with the thing that
Alan had made (oh and they were better than what Blue Peter made!). |
