Synopsis

POTTY TIME was a popular and beloved UK television puppet show that began in the 70s and was the wacky creation of the multi-talented writer/director Michael Bentine. Universally vertically challenged, the Potty hand puppets were characterized by their prominent noses and costumes that obscured their other physical characteristics. Bentine's beloved show, which was geared for children but boasted an adult audience as well, offered a challenge to accepted notions of many aspects of life and was regarded as harmlessly rebellious. The highlight of POTTY TIME usually involved a mini-explosion of some kind, as Bentine knew this would delight the kids at home.
MICHAEL BENTINE'S POTTY TIME SERIES 1 has numerous extras including an interview with Bentine's son, Richard and an additional commentary with some of the actual puppets used in the classic program.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but not quite my favorite series, 25 Feb 2004
Thought I was getting the series with the "invisible characters" but that wasn't in the first series.
So was slightly dissapointed, until I watched them, with my son who loves them now as well.
Can't for the other six series to come out.

5.0 out of 5 stars my dad, 10 Dec 2007
By D. Hurst "potty mole" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
my dad is Leon Thau who directed and produced all the potty series. We would spend every Sunday over at Uncle Michaels house while the two of them sat and had a meeting about the following weeks recordings. Uncle Michael was my godfather and the most fantastic man you could ever wish to meet and the kindest. My children are now watching this dvd and it is a joy to see there faces. Hurry up and get the rest. I have potty time books that are signed to me absolutely priceless!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Potty for Bentine's Classic Kids TV Show !, 13 Feb 2007
By Davel "Davel" (Swindon, UK.) - See all my reviews
As a child I thought this series was fantastic ! And watching these gems today I am pleased to say that they are still absolute quality ! Bentine's Goon humour is in full swing and this is entertaining to kids and adults - even by today's standards. Bentine writes and voices the Pottys and you can hear echoes of those early Goon Shows. Even the old Thames TV jingle at the start of each show brings back memories of ITV in better days !

Please Amazon - tell them to produce more of Bentine's Potty little classics !
