Is Bosco a Leagrnd of Boards...?I used to to love it (i think I still do).It was so Irish...

Downtime

What an annoying little sh 1t - RTE repeated it for about 10 years

jcoote

bosco is tremendous..remember the tounge twisters on it ha ha clasic..was bosco a boy or a girl

Dub13

I used to love it when Bosco went into his/her house....

I just found a site that has Bosco Sightings and latest news....


Bosco Site

Yeah well I'm obviously the most hardcore and extreme fan here seeing as I saw Bosco live in concert THREE TIMES. Oh and I know a girl who was on Bosco once, she was behind the magic door. So ha.

ROFL at that Bosco site

Red of hair and black of heart, he is always distinguishable by the trademark green and white striped pyjamas he wears, with red blusher applied to each cheek.

I only saw Bosco in concert twice All I remember about it is a song about a lollypop tree.

I could be completely wrong about this, but does anyone else remember Bosco being kidnapped a good few years back? Maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part..

Anyway, I voted no. There's something seriously creepy about him now. I can see myself having nightmares about him in the future :eek:

I think I remember something about bosco being kidnapped....anybody with info on this..?

Yeah. He was kidnapped about 7 years ago, before an evening performance (UCD, most likely).

Turned up in a box at Donnybrook Garda station two weeks later, with the note "I wan't to come home".

Blasphemy! You sir, shall be burned at the stake!

I heard one of the presenters became a junkie and another one was a cross dresser. Seriously.

And that magic f****ng door that only ever led to dublin f****ng zoo :mad:

And wasnt bosco originally meant to help us kids learn irish? úfásach was all the little toilet brush ever managed.

And then there was them board puzzles that a dyslexic mongoloid could have figured out quicker than marion (a babe, admittedly) and philip

to sum up:

Pats hat/chat/whatever else. legend
Wanderly wagon. pure legend
fortycoats. legend
dilín ó damhas. proper hardcore
Bosco. me hole.

I forgot all about that magic door....sure back in the 80s Dublin Zoo was all we had in this country.

Le Rack

exactly they were putting all we had to good use and wasn't it made in the 70's? less again back then!

Dyr

I remember when bosco first started so that would have made me about 8-10 i think, so it was 80s.

jaysus...i just realised...im old

Dub13

I used to love when they went into Boscos house...it did not happen often,which made it very exciting when they did.

angeldelight

Bosco was brilliant I only saw his live show once and it was so cool, especailly as I'd won the tickets and it was the first time I ever won anything. I agree, I loved it when he went down into his bedroom! I think I'll have to watch that show tonight on RTE, if I can listen to Gerry Ryan for that long without feeling sick.

Breezer

Bosco is RTE's #1 kids' show of all time! And rightly so! The hours of entertainment that lil' guy provided... Or hours of torture, depending on whether you were a three year old kid or the unfortunate mother who the kid made sit through every episode every day

Actually, while we're on the subject, anyone up for petitioning RTE to show an episode one last time? I've heard they still have the footage.

toiletduck

They should definitely show it once more or release it on dvd!

I could just imagine the mass burning of these DVD's. It would unite people as they brought Bosco memorabilia to fuel the flames. Ever wonder what stunted Bosco's growth. I'd say major crack abuse.

Le Rack

anyway.... yes petition, me likey lots!
