Mr Blobby Costume

Product Information

With Inflatable Pink and yellow spot suit and matching gloves, this will be hilarious at a 1990s party or any other fancy dress party.

Independence Day is a time to gather with friends and family, proudly displaying your patriotism and celebrating the spirit of freedom. Now pull your legs into the costume and tighten the elastics around your ankles so minimal air escapes. He has worked as a professional Edmonds lookalike since appearing in a contest on The Late, Late Breakfast Show, which Edmonds presented in the 80s. As head of BBC light entertainment from 1994 to 1999, Leggo created House Party with Edmonds, and he was producer/director/executive producer up to the last series. They damaged the first, then they got axed after six episodes, so the replacement Blobby was never sent.

Put the fan on the inside with the fan sticking out the hole and twist on the orange circle to secure the fan to the Blobby costume so it can suck in air. I’ve forwarded a myriad of requests,” says Mark Borkowski, a PR who is Edmonds’ contact to his previous life. Back in the 90s and 00s, I was responsible for selling BBC formats around the world: Strictly, Antiques Roadshow, The Weakest Link,” he says, confirming my suspicions I’m on the phone to an ex-BBC employee. Father's Day is just around the corner, providing the perfect opportunity to express gratitude and honor the father figures in our lives. Killerby has never spoken to the press and has only one professional appearance listed in the past 20 years – on a Big Fat Quiz of the Year 90s special in 2012.

Pascoe mentioned something I have refused to acknowledge: the numerous Blobbys created for the three Blobby theme parks and pantos. After a busy day as Blobby, I’m seeing polka dots, so it’s a relief to finally sit on my Crinkley Bottom. When Blobby appeared in panto in Peter Pan in Milton Keynes in 2021 (played by a variety of actors, but not Killerby), Unique made two new costumes, which Pascoe confirms they still own, along with a “battered, old” original Blobby. I just doodled a pear-shaped character in mauve felt-tip pen on a piece of A5 lined paper, handed it to the costume designer and said: ‘Can you make something like this?Originally, it was Edmonds inside Blobby, recorded for the notorious “gotcha” segments in which, presaging MTV’s Punk’d, Edmonds would stitch up celebrities.

Leggo, who now works as a freelance executive producer and director, has since written his first novel, (Not) on My Island. I wouldn’t get too excited: it was probably thrown away like that picture of Mr Blobby in a skip when the BBC sold Television Centre in 2013.Mrs Blobby may have ditched her pearls, while someone could have easily fished that one out of the skip. I can appreciate why Mr Blobby doesn’t do more than wave his arms about: there’s not much more you can do. Recommended for UK islands ie Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Shetlands, Isle of Wight and Scottish Islands including the Highlands. His demand has waxed and waned alongside Edmonds’ fame (today’s Guardian booking is only his second since Covid).

No one on the tube seems to understand the motto: “If you see something unusual, report it to staff …” But, after squishing through the barriers at Piccadilly Circus, I’m a bona fide celebrity. Pascoe says he’s not surprised Edmonds has retired to New Zealand “after everything he’s been through”, referring to Unique Television falling victim to huge bank fraud in 2017. You got delicious dramatic irony, because the audience knew something the celebrity didn’t,” namely that Edmonds was inside, says Leggo. There’s something disconcerting about how mine keeps deflating of its own accord right at the moment when the Guardian photographer Linda is trying to get the money shot.I hope I’m not infringing any copyright, so I don’t tell Paul Pascoe – Edmonds’ business partner at Unique Television, which owns the Blobby copyright – what I’m up to, beyond tallying outfits.
