Talk:Bosco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerry Ryan said "Gerry Ryan;s Hitlist of Top 20 Irish Televison Shows" on RTE 1 in June 2005 stated over 400 "Bosco"episodes were produced. Does anybody know if this is true?
I guess it is, I added it to the article as Gerry Ryan is authoritative source. It was a daily show and 40 episodes would last only 8 weeks, but it was on tv for 20 years. 400 seems like a reasonable minimum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:halcyonicity

[edit] He didn't wave? T.T
There was a story going around that one episode Bosco didn't wave goodbye and a large number of children got really upset over this. Was this true? ---Archeus 11:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article needs
Thought I'd start a list of what's needed on this article, so people (and me) can tick them off as they're completed
- a list of the adults who particpated - I heard a few years ago that Philip is now dead, anybody got more info?
- start date, end date, number of episodes -Start was 1978, give or take a year, sorry I can't be more specific. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:halcyonicity
- a complete list of the mini-inserts they used to have
- a section on the magic door, they're trips to the zoo and more importantly the much anticpated trips to the Chocolate Factory
[edit] Burglary
Are we sure that Bosco was stolen? I can find no reference to it on the web that isn't using Wikipedia as its source. What's even more suspicious is that I can't find any of these pictures anywhere. So, does anyone have a source? RMoloney (talk) 10:02, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes he was kinappeded from the UCD Student Bar back in 1996 or thereabouts. Bosco was returned unharmed to Donnybook Garda Station. The UCD Tribute ran with the story and it appeared on serval RTE radio shows. ant_ie 17:53, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. But was there a kidnapping in 2000, anyone? And is it true about the international photos? RMoloney (talk) 18:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know about 2000. I understood the photos were just made up. ant_ie 19:02, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- There were photos, however they were quite likely faked - student prank, unlikely to have the cash to bring the puppet around. I may have them here, somewhere, but my stack of "random funny crap from papers" is bloody huge... --Kiand 19:06, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Guests through the Magic Door?
When were there guests on Bosco? The zookeeper doesn't count because he wasn't in the studio!--Dub8lad1 22:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC) I don't remember there being adult guests. I believe there were occasionally children who helped with the make and do or whatever they called it. halcyonicity

[edit] Third Watch?
Yes, I know the Bosco here and the Bosco there are not the same, but should a link be put from this page to the Maurice 'Bosco' Boscorelli page in the disamb section? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.12.249.49 (talk • contribs).
