Yep I was right: Found this www.worldhistory.com/wiki/F/Fortycoats-&-Co..htmFortycoats & Co. was an Irish childrens television drama series that was produced by RTÉ and broadcast on RTÉ One during the 1980s. The show featured the adventures of the title charcter Fortycoats (Fran Dempsey), and his companions Sofar Sogood and Slightly Bonkers. They occupied the Flying Trick Shop and battled against the evil Whilomena, the Whirligig Witch. The show was a spin-off from Wanderly Wagon, which had featured a similar charcter called Johnny Fortycoats. The use of the Flying Trick Shop - bigger on the inside than on the outside - and the general series format somewhat resembled Doctor Who, though more fantasy than science fiction (time travel was not involved), and more squarly aimed at children. RTÉ published two annuals based on the series. Fortycoats' catchphrase was "In my forty coats and my fifty pockets". |
