Hartley Hare re-kindling backfires!

1970's childrens TV puppet and grotesque lagomorph Hartley Hare, was scheduled for a comeback. ITV had high hopes to re-kindle the Pipkins, originally created and directed by Micheal Jeans.

The first episode was to feature Hartley Hare on a camping trip to the Himalayas. While attempting to light the campfire by rubbing two sticks together during rehearsals, Hartley only managed to re-kindle his knackers, which were scorched beyond recognition!

ITV bosses said "its a real tradegy.... back in the seventies puppets were not made of fireproof material" "Hartley is beyond repair!". Pig, Topov, the crap cockney monkey (no relation), tortoise and Octavia the french ostrich were only mildly singed during the incident.

People living in the former Hartley's Jam Factory in London and the staff at Hartley Tool Hire of Lancaster were not available for comment.

Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel said "you're clutching at straws you are mate."


This bastard gave me nightmares when i was a wee monklet!
