- Bosco is an Irish children's television programme produced during the late 1970s and 1980s. It was produced and shown by RTÉ in Ireland. Designed by Jan Mitchell, Bosco was voiced by Jonathan Ryan initially, in the pilot series that was broadcast, with four presenters per show, in 1979. When the show went into full-time production in 1980, with two presenters per show, Miriam Lambert took over. From the 1981 season onwards, Paula Lambert took over. Bosco's name was chosen by Helen Quinn, sister of presenter Marian Richardson.
It ran for 386 episodes, ending production in 1987. The show was continually repeated before (and later during) The Den daily until 30 September 1996, when it was replaced by The Morbegs before officially ending on 26 November 1998.
The show was presented by Bosco (born 25 August), a small red-haired puppet, supposedly a five-year-old child with bright red cheeks and a really squeaky voice. Bosco and the other presenters usually spoke English, but to help young children learn Irish Bosco often peppered English speech with Irish phrases, much like the way Dora the Explorer often speaks Spanish. Bosco lived in a brightly painted wooden box (hence the name, bosca being Irish for "box"), only ever wandering far from it to go on excursions to such places as Dublin Zoo or the HB Ice Cream factory. The show also had a number of other segments.
There are various short animations, usually stop-motion, as part of the show. The Plonsters were plasticine critters, which are continually engaged in fights or schemes against each other. Faherty's Garden, created by David Byrne, starred the eponymous Faherty, a dog plagued by an amateur crow magician (Cornelius, who would often turn purple, much to his distress) in a series of shorts featuring stop-motion models. Freddy the Fox features a host of characters each with distinctive traits, such as Fiachra the Frog, Gregory Grainog and Sile Seilide. There was also a cartoon featuring a rather strange potato family, The McSpuds, that live in a supermarket (Savers) owned by Mr McGinty. At night, the potato children, Sheila and Seamus, run amok. The Tongue Twister Twins were also regularly featured. These animations were created by Jim Quin from Thurles, County Tipperary.
The show featured arts and crafts segments which were called make and do, in the style of the BBC's children's programme Blue Peter. Another prominent part of the show was story-time and each show featured a song. - Розваги
It's all too easy to poke fun at Bosco, but I can't tell you the amount of times I nearly broke my fecken neck running home from school to watch him when I was small. He was my early childhood.
But by the time you started school, you had to pretend you thought Bosco was crap and didn't watch it anymore 😂
Throughout my years I couldn't figure out why a certain age group of irish heritage people here in Australia embraced me in an instant.....i believe its because I remind them of this show and and their childhood.

Ah bosco the absolute legend, didn’t he get himself kidnapped by some trinity college tools, was he ever returned? He’s a legend wherever he is
I am English and I have just seen Bosco for the first time, although I have heard of him. We had some terrible cringey programmes in the UK that were worse than Bosco, like Play School on the BBC that had some irritating songs and Rainbow on ITV that was awful and it had this irritating puppet called Zippy

Grainne its bad manners to whisper.
Dear god this was awful. Ireland in the 80s.
No it wasn't! Typical GenZ response!
what was awful about it?
@@prof.sirjeffreydarling-mil3463 Everything about it was awful. It was so cringey it was dreadful.
@@colors6692 I was born in the 1970s and Bosco was awful, thankfully I was one of the lucky ones that had "the channels" as they were known instead of "1 and 2" as it was called growing up in the 1980s. There were good things about the 1980s though like going up to Dublin for Christmas shopping on "Culchie Day" which is December 8th.
