Clip description
Skippy discovers that Croco is up to mischief in the election for Mayor, accepting money from each of the uninspiring candidates and providing them all with same rent-a-crowd of grannies and babies.
Curator’s notes
John Palmer’s clever, multilayered script and the related character design is evident in this clip. The mayoral candidate, a Winston Churchill look-alike, makes a comic, nonsensical speech with recognisable lines from famous speeches, building up to the finale – a Christmas carol. He is received with rapturous applause from Croco’s rent-a-crowd. John Palmer wrote most of the scripts for this series.
