Mr Flibble's Very Cross

I've been asked to bring another type of penguin to the group's attention. I'm typing this of my own free will and am certainly not going to "die screaming from a blast of hex vision" if I fail to get the message across. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Mr Flibble.



Mr Flibble first appeared on television in the UK in the fifth series of the popular science fiction comedy Red Dwarf. When Rimmer is infected with a hologramatic virus that sends him insane, Mr Flibble appears as the evil penguin glove puppet that tells Rimmer to do unspeakable things to his shipmates.

Although this would be the only time that Mr Flibble ever appeared on television he instantly became an icon of the show for all the Dwarf fans. Now after fifteen years (the Quarantine episode was broadcast in March 1992) everyone can finally own their very own Mr Flibble. A glove puppet exactly like the original is finally on the market after fifteen years of fans demanding it. This puppet is not really a living clone of Mr Flibble, it wont fry you with it's hex vision, and it certainly wont rise up to take over the planet with it's puppet brethren.

Right, I've said what you want, can I go now? Why are your eyes glowing red? Yeaaaaaaaargh...
