Is this still around? I remember seeing it a lot as a kid, which is pretty ridiculous considering how old it is. I never actually liked it that much but I found out the other day that the gobbledygook language is actually Palare, which is pretty interesting!

Its a valuable lesson for any child about the realities of domestic violence and police brutality, not to mention sausage theft

I was thinking about that! I definitely remember an awful lot of wife beating going on. And a crocodile to keep it relevant, obviously

Polari in Punch and Judy? Are you sure you're not confusing it with Round the Horne?

Though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polari does indeed reference Punch and Judy and suggests quite a lot of the language is of Italian origin.

To be honest I can only remember 'that's the way to do it' and lots of kazooing. There may have been some Polari in there, or it might be someone's idea of a Wikipedia joke! 🙂
