Description

Before Bluey, before B1 and B2, even before Play School, there was Mr Squiggle. 

The puppet man from the moon with a pencil for a nose was a fixture of kids television on the ABC for 40 years from 1959 and 1999 . 

And now Mr Squiggle is back - not on television, but in a new free exhibition at the National Museum of Australia.

GUEST:

Rebecca Hetherington Daughter of Norman Hetherington and former presenter of Mr Squiggle and Friends.

Mr Squiggle and Friends: The Creative World of Norman Hetherington.
