Fantastic, Johnnystress. That just brought a big smile to my face, after hearing such sad news. We need more shows like the fantastic Wanderly Wagon these days.

When I first stated working in RTE (22 FEB 1999 to be precise), the actual Wanderley Wagon sat parked outside studio in all kinds of weather.

RIP Eugene Lambert, I loved all the crew, Judge and Crow, Sneakey Snake scared the
sh%t out of me, I remember the Safe Cross Code with Judge and Brendan Grace. Was there a brushing you teeth campaign involving Judge as well?
A very simple show, but but very effictive. I looked into bringing the kids to the theatre last year, but between one thing and another, I presume it will be still open, didnt his family run it?

My Production Design tutor in college designed the bastard.  Hence my meeting Eugene Lambert.

Frank 'Father Jack' Kelly was the bad guy in Wanderly Wagon; some kind of evil professor.

I loved the Lambert Puppet Theatre on the few occasions I was lucky enough to see them live, but for some reason Wanderly Wagon scared the almighty crap out of me as a kid.  Except for Judge, obviously.

Walter Koenig's son. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8538208.stm

me too- they had a scene where that Irish sounding tune by Mike Oldfield (I think) would herald the approach of visiting Leprechaun who may or may not have been malevolent.

And it filled me with absolute dread


Very sad about W Koenings son

He was 'Boner' in the US teen show Growing Pains. Suffered with depression all his life - tragic.

Yes, I know Boner from Growing Pains.

Commited Suicide, I wonder what pushed him over the brink.

After Walter Koenig's son we now hear about Marie Osmond's son who may have committed suicide, also due to depression, very sad.
