Some of the cartoons featured dont stand the test of time & the quality of these are poor. The worst one being Mary Mungo & Midge, which hasnt even been touched up for dvd. However Willo the Wisp & Roobarb are great, & still very funny. Ive never even heard of Hectors House, so I was surprised that this is classed as an all-time favourite.

Fingerbobs was a British childrens television programme made by the BBC in 1972. The first episode was broadcast on 14 February 1972 on BBC1 as part of Watch with Mother. The show was created by Joanne & Michael Cole, who also created Bod. Presented by mime artist Yoffy, each ten-minute episode told a story centred around a paper finger puppet animal & usually involved collecting various items to make up another object at the end. Fingermouse - a mouse, consisting of a grey paper cone head with paper ears & whiskers with a grey glove for the body. Gulliver - a seagull made from a white ping-pong ball placed over a thumb & white gloves forming the body with outstretched fingers as the wings.. Scampi - several scampi were made using purple gloves with red heads on each finger. Flash - a tortoise, with a paper shell.. Fingermouse gained his own series in 1985.

Hector is a fictional character from the book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. The Vile Village. He was appalled at the many rules of the village, but he was cowardly & could never bring himself to speak around the Village Elders. Hectors specialty is Mexican Food. The roosting place of the VFD crows in the Nevermore Tree, which is located in Hectors backyard. He had an unfinished self-sustaining hot air balloon in his shed, which was banned under the village rules. He also collected as many banned books as possible before they could be burned. Violet Baudelaire, while under his care, helped finish the hot air balloon & Hector finally overcame his fears when he appeared in his balloon, told off the Elders & tried to help the Baudelaires & Duncan & Isadora Quagmire aboard, but the Baudelaires were unable to make it. He was last seen flying away with the Duncan & Isadora & was not seen again. Hector is either in VFD or has some connection to it.
