I love to mulch around in Second Hand stores, I dig through the little toys (and have found dozens of Muppet McDonald toys that way) But yesterday I recieved the delight of my life.
1st. Beeker. He was sat there right on the top of the .50p box. I snapped him up like hot cakes (hope I didn't burn him...)
2nd. Was the best surprise of aggges. I saw it there on the video shelf. £1 was written on the price sticker. "Muppets Babies" said the cover. "Raiders of the Lost Muppet, and the Muppet From Space"
I asked the lady at the store to hold it, while I ran helterskelter down the street to where my Dad swapped for some change, then charged back. "Do you have it? Do you have it?"
Yes. She still had the video. I paid (without informing anyone that £1 for two Muppet Baby episodes was a rip-off. How lucky am I! I'd have paid £5.)
Back home, I open the cover, take out the video with that part devoltion part love part can'-wait-to-get-it-on-ness that comes with aen unexpected Muppet find.
I put it in, I press play.
It's not Muppet Babies-Raiders of the Lost Ark!
The video inside was not what it said on the cover!
It was BETTER!
THREE Muppet Baby Episodes!
The first was where they overhear Nanny on the phone. "Oh, their playing in the nursery," she said. "Oh, yes, come over and have a look at them, one of them must go."
Oh no! They have to decide which baby is going to be "thrown out in the cold." (more on that later)
The second episode was the one where they imagine themselves at a Fun Fair. "Around, and around the world, on a merry-go-round..."
Then in Episode three, horror of horrors, Gonzo looses Camilla hiss little Baby Chicky.
Anyway, more details on the episodes, and my thoughts on them later.
Right now, I'm too busy singing, "Cammilllllla, camillllaaaaa, whoo, whoo, whoo, whouuuu."
