Bosco is a children's television programme produced during the late 1970s and 1980s. Produced by the Lambert Puppet Theatre, it was shown by RTÉ in Ireland. Designed by Jan Mitchell, Bosco was voiced by Jonathan Ryan initially, in the pilot series that was broadcast, with four presenters per show, in 1979. When the show went into full-time production in 1980, with two presenters per show, Miriam Lambert took over. From the 1981 season onwards, Paula Lambert took over. A shared cultural experience for children in Ireland at the time, it ran for 386 episodes, ending production in 1987. The show, however, was continually repeated before (and later during) ''The Den'' daily until 30 September 1996, when it was replaced by ''The Morbegs'' before officially ending on 1 May 1998. ==Title character== Bosco (born 25 August) is the main character in the programme. He/she was a small red-haired puppet, supposedly a five-year-old boy/girl with bright red cheeks and speaks with a real squeaky voice. Bosco's gender was ambiguous. Bosco and the other presenters usually spoke English, but (to help young children learn Irish) Bosco often peppered English speech with Irish phrases, much as Dora the Explorer often speaks Spanish. Bosco lived in a brightly painted wooden box (hence the name: Irish ''bosca''="box"), only ever wandering far from it to go on excursions to such places as Dublin Zoo or the H.B. factory. On 9 May 2011, on ''The Ray D'Arcy Show'' on Today FM, Bosco let slip that he is a boy, saying that they kept his gender a secret for 33 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bosco (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
