Bob Carolgees

Bob Carolgees (born Robert Johnson) is a comedy entertainer who appeared on the Saturday morning TV series Tiswas and then later in its adult versions O.T.T. and Saturday Stayback. He is best known for appearing with an expectorating canine puppet named Spit the Dog.

Career

In the early 1970s Carolgees ran a DJ and modelling school at 11A Lord Street in Liverpool. After a five-week course, DJs and models were tested in front of an audience at the Sportsmans Club in central Liverpool.

Carolgees first appeared in a guest spot on Tiswas on 31 March 1979. Main presenter Chris Tarrant's first words to him were "I don't know who the f--- you are, but stand there, you're going to be on the telly, it's great!" Clowning around with a monkey puppet named Charlie, Carolgees went down well with the viewing audience and after being invited back for several guest spots he soon became a team presenter. Carolgees, in pyjamas and headband, was also the Tiswas character Houdi Elbow, a comedy psychic and small-time magician.

Bereft of this, Muddles is often isolated and a "12 Days of Christmas" sequence between him, Bob Carolgees's Holden the Henchman and Jasette Amos's Wicked Queen appears more choreographed than crazy, with the humour arising from them struggling to get through the number, rather than mischievously moving each other's props and thus contributing to the set-piece's playful anarchic nature....
