‘Mr Turnip’

Painted metal puppet from the BBC’s children’s variety show ‘Whirligig’, which aired on Saturday afternoons between 1950 and 1956 and was presented by Humphrey Lestoq.

Do you remember Mr Turnip’s friends ‘Sarah Swede’ and ‘Colonel Beetroot’?

Mr Turnip’s catchphrase was ‘Lawky lawky lum’!
