Synopsis
For those of a certain age, FINGERBOBS is one of the all-time classic British television series. Featuring Yoffy the hippie host and his gang of puppet creations, such as Fingermouse and Gulliver the seagull, this title brings together all the stories, fun and games.

From the back cover
All 13 episodes of Fingerbobs on one fantastic DVD!

Yoffy is the hirsute hippy host of Fingermouse's fabulous adventures, gifted with the ability to bring all manner of characters and stories to life using bits of paper and some rather fetching pairs of gloves...

Thrill at the adventures of the intrepid rodent Fingermouse and cheer as he finds props for Yoffy's stories!

Witness the steadfast seagull Gulliver take flight, and enjoy slow tortoise Flash's sluggish journeys across fictitious lands!

DVD extra features:
Fingerbobs karaoke--Singalong with your Fingerbob friends' signature tunes!
History of Fingerbobs--A brief summary of how Fingerbobs came about!
Create your own Fingerbob--Get out your pens and scissors to make your own Fingermouse!
Fingerbob Free Jazz--Those wacky paper animals have been making hip music. Nice.

Running time: 183 minutes approximately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yoffy lifts a finger....., 10 Sep 2001
By Ross Gowland (West Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Yes, they're here! Your life can now be considered complete; all thirteen episodes of the classic series Fingerbobs have finally arrived on DVD. Produced in the early 'Seventies, Fingerbobs was designed to demonstrate to pre-school children concepts such as softness and prickliness. Its presenter,Yoffy, was played by the Canadian Rick Jones, an ex-Play School presenter with a wonderfully calming voice. Each week, his expressive hands brought life to a whole menagerie of paper animals, including Fingermouse, Tortoise and Gulliver the seagull. They were meant to represent speed, slowness and flight respectively, and would collect various objects to help Yoffy tell a story. On a technical level, the picture quality is very good; the 16mm film prints bely their thirty years age and the transfer onto DVD is sharp. This disc is designed to appeal to twenty- and thirty-somethings wishing to "relieve their wasted youth". Extras include a Fingerbob version of the Fast Show - "Great, that sounds like a cow mooing" - and a text screen of information that features a few double entedres. That said, I'm sure that the toddlers of today will love this as much as their parents did before them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful gentle programme for pre-school children, 26 April 2008
By Michael Luke Wakeford "Mike W" (Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fantastic programme to entertain pre-school children. It helps them to develop their own fantasy play and imaginations. The presentation is uncomplicated, gentle and unpatronising.

Ideal for parents to involve themselves whilst watching with their children. The elements of high quality programmes such as this is sadly lacking in the modern children's tv listings.

The 'low budget' emphasises the beautiful simplicity and lack of unnecessary sophistication that is so often forced upon small childrens' minds these days.

Instead of parents being compelled to purchase commecial merchandise everytime they enter a Woolworth's store, here is a show where children can have stimulating creative activities as a follow up by making their own fingerpuppets.

The presenter, Rick Jones, is absolutely superb. His gentle understated voice, and interaction with the puppets is a joy to behold. Watching him again after so many years (as a late 60s child Fingerbobs was regular viewing before I went to school) filled me with a warmth and nostalgia that comes back every time I watch it again.

Without so many reviews, the average rating this show is getting is not currently representative of its true quality. Please believe me, it's way, way up there along the other classic shows for small children of this era.

Oh, and my 14 month old baby simply loves it :-).

1.0 out of 5 stars Did we have to see the bald man? Ugh!!!, 5 Nov 2007
By Music lover. (England.) - See all my reviews
I'm sorry, but this would have been fine without having to look at the man 'doing' the Fingerbobs. Yoffy? He's creepy, and not in a 'good' way! I couldn't watch it properly because the sight of him put me off so much. Everything about him was irritating and annoying and made me cringe to look at him, from his bald head to his silly bit of hair round the back of his head and his awful beard. Yuck! The Fingerbobs on their own would have been great, but not having to see him and his hand moving all the time! Something about him really gave me the creeps and ruined what could have been worthwhile without him.
