Come through the Magic Door to see how quickly a fire brigade crew can spring into action.
Fire is dangerous, and there are many things at home that could be potential fire hazards. Bosco listens to a poem about fire safety in the home.
Don't play with matches,
With electric plugs or wires,
And don't ever ever ever play with fires.
Presenter David Byrne brings viewers through the Magic Door, where firefighters are training. Ladder and hose drills are part of the working week for the fire brigade.
'Bosco' broadcast on 26 May 1986. The presenters are David Byrne and Barbara McNamara.
The children's programme 'Bosco' began broadcasting as a two-week pilot in June 1979 aimed at pre-school children, with the programme proper scheduled to begin in the autumn of the same year. The show is presented by a 5-year-old pint-sized puppet named Bosco who lives in a box. He is joined each week by a selection of grown-up presenters for fun and games. Bosco's puppeteer is Paula Lambert.
