Jesus, and I thought Words and Pictures was scary.
I just checked on Readalong, and you were right, the slipper's name was Pretty.
I did a little digging yesterday after talking about this and found out that the puppets are made by a woman named Noreen Young who lives here in Ontario. And -get this- you can commision her to make a puppet of you or anyone you want . . . how's THAT for a little piece of creepy?

Yep, it's lengthy, intact and in Fortean Culture, under the title "Scariest Programme when you were a kid (or indeed nipper)".GiantRobot said:cornetto said:I found these really scary as a kid and I,d like to correspond with other 'fans' to reminisce. Please pm me if your interested.
There was a really good thread about public information films. Come back, board!
