We once had a very foolish lady councillor here who tried to ban Punch and Judy. Can you believe it? One of my favourite films is the Punch and Judy Man with Tony Hancock and John Le Mesurier, many people miss the point of it I know, but we love it.

Long Live Punch and Judy!!

It is delightful.

I love the comment “I prefer him with his mouth turned down, it’s more realistic.” The puppets are obviously more than inanimate objects to the ‘professors’!

I must admit that it was never a favourite of mine, I experienced too much domestic violence at home to appreciate it. Valerie
