It's completely stupid, I know, but I really like these creatures, who are the work of Aardman (although I can't find them on their website), and who appear in between programmes on BBC3 TV. They don't do anything obviously useful, like announce television programmes. They just say strange or inconsequential animated things, which when animated become amusing.

This one is my favourite, probably because I also wear glasses. "With these glasses", he says to his audience of smaller blobs in a powerfully deep voice with what sounds to me (but I could be very wrong) like a South African Jewish accent, "I can do terrible damage."

BBC4, however, is gone again.
