Twangers
An innuendo filled joke episode made for the ITV christmas tape. Bungle and Goeffry tell us how to play with our special friends and bounce our balls, meanwhile Jane's tired because she's been up all night banging with Rod and plucking Rogers instrument. George has only got a small twanger, but it doesn't matter as it can be just good as a big one against Jane's maracas.

But while Geoffrey's gone the TV picture goes off so there's just a lot of wobbly lines. Then to the surprise of Bungle, Zippy and George, a man called Wilbur Wobble, who looks rather like Geoffrey, appears on the TV welcoming viewers to Wibbly Wobbly Television and then reads the Wobbly News. This is followed by The Fluffy Frothy Show presented by a character called Tony Tremble who looks just like Bungle! Tony Tremble introduces Jilly Jelly and the Blamanges (Rod, Jane and Freddy) who sing The Woblies Song. Then Wilbur Wobble is back and reads the story of Wobert's Wonderful Wobbles to two little friends of his, Blibby and Blobby who look just like Zippy and George. After the story has ended, Geoffrey comes in with the enormous jelly he's made for tea and they all tell him about Wibbly Wobbly Television and all the funny characters they've seen, but he doesn't believe them and thinks they imagined it.
