Mr Blake plays a Tombliboo. A cuddly little fellow, who cleans his teeth, bashes a piano, and says both "Tombliboo" and "ee". An actors dream job I'm sure.
"Earlier, Mr Blake told an employment tribunal in Birmingham he had been abused and injured when the suit caused him to fall over. He told how he had been signed off work by doctors with injuries and was then sacked by the company. "
Surely Mr Blake should consider another profession? First he's hurt himself whilst wearing all over padding, and now the production company exec says that he over acted. Tombliboos make huge exaggerated gestures for little kids to watch. Their toothbrushes are 4ft tall! How bad an actor are you when your face is hidden, your body surrounded by foam, your script is to ham it up, make bold clear gestures etc... and you manage to over act?
Tombliboo...? The man's surely a muppet!

Lets get this right... your living is made dressing up as an inarticulate foam creature and cleaning your teeth with a four foot toothbrush. How small must you feel when a doctor signs you off work with injurys sustained wearing the big foam suit? How dumb must you be to hurt yourself wearing all over foam padding? Surely, he must have been sacked for being such a donkey?
"Mr Blake said he fell in November 2005 after a camera in his suit failed, meaning he could not see. Mr Davenport (company rep) said it was "over-acting" which caused the fall."Surely Mr Blake should consider another profession?

I've been keeping my eye on Tombliboo Oo. He is indeed a ham...
How do you name a Tombliboo? Or Makka Pakka? Tell me how it works?
They have names Ms Robinson. If they didn't, how could they tell whose pants were whose?
