omg lol the croc outift heheeee, lets ignore the lady with green face paint here and look at that croc lol... I LOVED this programme lol but omg the outfits were pants wernt they. LOL crocs outfit everytime i rewind a little and watch the bit he pops onto screen, its such an awfull looking outfit lol Thanks for the upload, fantastic memories and prog lol
What a bully!!! No wonder we're all screwed up growing up in the 80s. We just turned over to watch Rolf Harris! Hopeless times. Top of the Pops with Jimmy. Ooh I could crush a grape! And The Krankies cross dressing married couple bedroom antics. Dear me. Someone call Rent A Ghost I need rescued!
I haven't seen this for more than 20 years! Fantastic... How camp was Redford?! I think that actor played one of the characters in Boggle's Kingdom as well.
That's not corporal punishment. Anyway, we kids didn't need mollycoddling then. We were able to make our own decisions on what was right and wrong. Kids today are protected from everything, it's pathetic!
'theres somebody at the door, theres somebody at the door!' As for the robot, the pocket simon game glued to his chest makes him look all the more realistic!
Imagine Productions when u think about 80s kids programs like this they were fairly violent.i remember miss piggy would kick the shit out of kermit.it would never be allowed on our screens nowaday
'Twas Carol Lee Scott who played Grotbags. I had a look on IMDB and she doesn't seem to be getting up to much nowadays. She did, however, go on the Russell Brand Show last year for a very entertaining interview.
That Grotbags had more personality than anyone else on the show. Whatever happened to Carole Lee Scott?
And yes, I vaguely remember the actor who originally played Croc (Ronnie or Freddy someone?) went on to become Redford and they got a new Croc for some reason.
@pmanngw for a horrible moment i thought you were right, and played it back. i think it's "whalloped". sorry to spoil it for you. i think they use the phrase "bollocks it up" in a disney film though - "son of flubber" (1963)
It does sound like that but what he actually says is "my stars were right; they said I was gonna get walloped". ... I preferred your interpretation though.
R.I.P Grottbags, you were a major part of my childhood.
I went to see the stage show for a birthday treat. Grotbags came into the audience and rustled her microphone in my bag of sweets. Never forgotten it.
Grotbags is the greatest pantomime-style villian of all time!
Grotbags, Redford and Croc! Classic!
this show scared the crap out of me as a kid!!! I was always home alone too ha ha
I revisited my childhood.. full of violence. 😢😢😢😢😢

Why did they all run away when croc came in? He's about as threatening as Graham Norton!
ha ha ha lol i just love grotbags ha .....
I think he says "I wuz gonna get WALLOPPED"
sounds very much like bollocked to me!i played it twice to confirm it!
I met Grotbags and Croc during the S.P.A.C.E Scheme of 1986 so neerrr!

Good Old Grotbags..! Looks a bit like my friend Sister B...!
I've just spent the last five minutes laughing my arse off. So funny!
Aaaaahahahaha ! Yeah , it DOES sound like that !
That Tinman looks like a slightly older James Dreyfuss. Why exactly did Grotbags want with Emu? I could never remember.

Yeah - but that's exactly what our parents said back then... :-)
This looks like a great CZcams Poop source. Hmmm...
Random question but why they get rid of croc?
I haven't seen this for more than 20 years! Fantastic...
How camp was Redford?! I think that actor played one of the characters in Boggle's Kingdom as well.
Yeah, I think he played Prince Poorly.

@pmanngw
Walloped, man, walloped. Not "bollocked" !!!! :o)

Maybe he did and he threw himself off that roof.
That's not corporal punishment. Anyway, we kids didn't need mollycoddling then. We were able to make our own decisions on what was right and wrong. Kids today are protected from everything, it's pathetic!
That was fab, but corporal punishment on kids TV???? It'd be banned nowadays!
walloped
Wow, violence, sexual harrassment, and a robot of questionable sexuality o.o Never EVER seen this show, wouldnt work now a days lol
Emu pecking Grotbags arse was a bit sexual :(
1:44 Emu rape!!! XD

A lot of physical abuse in this wasn't there.
That's because you're odd.
I went to Rods Funeral......The reception was crap
The gayest robot ever! lol
I loved this show when I was little
I loved watching this as a kid!! I actually had a aunt that looked like her!!
lol, she used to scare me when I was a kid! God bless her.
I was scared shitless of grottbags
'theres somebody at the door, theres somebody at the door!' As for the robot, the pocket simon game glued to his chest makes him look all the more realistic!
He said I was gonna get bollocked...
Imagine Productions when u think about 80s kids programs like this they were fairly violent.i remember miss piggy would kick the shit out of kermit.it would never be allowed on our screens nowaday
My kids used to love this RIP Grotbags
I feel I'm a child again! Cool! Grotbags was great!
