Bod may have been a product of the seventies but it was still a big favourite during the eighties. It may have been a simply drawn cartoon, but it holds a special place in many of our hearts for it’s stories, the voice work of John Le Mesurier and the excellent little theme songs for each of the characters.
For this survey I want to know which of the Bod characters is your favourite, whether it be for their looks, what they were like or even just their signature tune.
Which of the Bod characters did you like best?

Would you like to share your special Bod-related skill with the world ????
What would that be? Whistling all the theme songs, reciting the milkshake speech for Alberto Frog and his Amazing Animal Band, or being able to retract my legs directly into my body!
…or are you thinking of something else? 😉
It was the songs I was thinking of …….
All the speech …. go on then ….
OK, Alberto and the band have just helped someone out and they want to thank them…
Person being helped: Ooh, thanks you very much. Is there anything I can do to repay you?
Alberto: I wouldn’t say no to a milkshake.
Person being helped: Certainly, what flavour would you like?
Narrator: What flavour milkshake do you think it will be?
Narrator: The mice think it will be strawberry.
Narrator: The lions think it will be chocolate.
Narrator: The monkeys think it will be banana.
Alberto: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, chocolate.
Narrator: The lions were right. Were you?
No the hippos think it will be chocolate
I knew I’d get one of the animals flavour preferences wrong…
I think it changes. Sadly not all the Alberto frog survives, most of the episodes on the DVD are missing it and Bod snap.
Bod Snap! Alberto the Frog (always thought of this bit as ‘The Frog Orchestra’). I knew there was something missing from that old VHS copy I got from the library!
FFS, Big Boo. The squirrels knew what he was going to ask for. the badgers knew what he was going to ask for. the butterflies knew what he was going to ask for. But we at home didn’t find out for what Alberto was going to ask until the Narrator had told us what a bunch of psychic know-it-alls made up Albert “Consisten” Frog’s Amazingly Smug Animal Band. We knew only sentence construction of theirs poor was.
Predictable on one side…
predictable on the other….
predictable and predictable……
that makes.. Bod.
Not a fan of Bod then kfh?
