Mr Squiggle (not) on "Collectors"

This week on the TV show "Collectors", iconic Australian children’s character, Mr Squiggle, makes an appearance with his maker, Norman Hetherington.

"Hetherington talks about Mr. Squiggle, who went to air in 1959 for a trial season of six weeks only and lasted six decades for the ABC. The cartoonist and self-taught puppet-maker also shares Blackboard and many of his 400 puppets.

It airs 8pm Friday on ABC1."

Mr. Squiggle on Collectors!
