<P> Nick Frisbee was a children 's in - vision continuity presenter who had a squirrel puppet sidekick , Larry the Loafer ( operated by Ray Tizzard ) . The premise of the character was to mock children 's television presenters at the time , many who had puppet sidekicks -- Larry was loosely based , and named after , BBC Saturday morning show Going Live 's puppet Gordon the Gopher . Unlike children 's television presenters , Nick was crude , and often cared very little for Larry or his viewers . He 'd famously treat Larry very harshly , often hitting him with a club , which prompted the audience to ' aww , ' to which Nick would reiterate to the audience that `` it 's a puppet ! '' Nick would read out letters , poems and jokes `` sent in '' by viewers with double - entendre names , and show spoof trailers for movies . In the last episode , Larry gets his revenge on Nick by dropping a studio light on him when he appeals for the welfare of loafers . </P>
