Michael Bentine’s Potty Time
In the Mid 1970's a strange Children's TV programme first
aired called Michael Bentine's Potty Time.
Michael Bentine was one of the members of the 'Goons',
which also included Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry
Secombe. The Goons were a group of comedians that had
their own Radio and TV shows.
After this success he tried his hand at a Children's Show
and came up with Potty Time. It was a strange show made
up of very short people, called Potties. You never saw their
feet and most of the male potties had big
bushy beards that covered
most of their
faces. In
between the
mayhem of
the story being told was Michael who would talk to
the potties and find out more details of the story.
Michael did all of the voices of the Potties and one of
the most loved Potties was the Invisible Potty. The
only way to see this potty was to look at the floor and
see his footprints on the ground.
