I haven't actually seen the new show (should check it out some time), but there was a time, as a kid, when I ate, breathed and slept the classic Roger Hargreaves stuff. I had most of the books and several of the story cassettes, I watched the 80s cartoon incessantly, plus I had a wall chart featuring all of the characters. I always loved Mr. Rush, Mr. Forgetful and Mr. Chatterbox.

(Given that Mr. Chatterbox was one of my favourites, it actually kind of annoys me that he went on to be pretty much displaced by his sister. I guess they decided that garrulousness was a more feminine trait, and thus that she was better marketable. Whatever.)
