Hullabaloo and Custard

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I appreciate that it's what the (unreliable, online) source says, and as a result it's now imprinted on umpteen know-nothing websites including this one, but the source is very obviously wrong. Custard (bland, 'pleasing to everyone') was the mother kangaroo, i.e. BBC1, and Hullabaloo was the rackety newcomer BBC2, the joey in Custard's pouch. (And apart from anything else, BBC2 aired Play School and was supposed to attract children, hence the cute joey.) I still own an original Hullabaloo and Custard piggybank and I used to have a copy of Hullabaloo's Rainy Day Book, with puzzles and colouring and so on. (It made clear that Hullabaloo was the joey, with whom children were invited to identify.) Very few people remember the kangaroos because David Attenborough, who took over as controller of BBC2 a few months after launch, hated them and gave an order that they must never be mentioned again. I think he put them in Room 101 on the eponymous chat show inviting people to list their pet hates. Khamba Tendal (talk) 20:00, 15 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
