If you’re not Irish you probably don’t know about Bosco, but if you grew up in the 80’s he’ll be instantly familiar. The Bosco Files has been around for a while but now, here’s a petition to bring back Bosco!
Maybe now they can answer why bosco has red cheeks, and will Frank be back to do a comedy intro?
Later.. The Bosco DVD is out! As is the Wanderly Wagon one! Here’s a picture of them in HMV, Cork a week ago. Did I buy? Err, no.
I don’t think RTE realise the retro goldmine they’re sitting on. I’d love to see a late night chatshow hosted by either Dustin or Bosco just taking the mickey out of Irish celebs
A friend of mine was one of the presenters.. I wonder would he be tempted to do a reprise..
who done bosco’s voice??
I remember Bosco and thought he was really really annoying. Cute looking (in a fluffy bunny sort of way)but still annoying.
please can anyone tell me where i can get a bosco puppet,i’ve been trying for years,have a bet on with friends who think i cant get one.eeven if someone wnats to make me one i’ll pay.
I have a tatty old bosco puppet, goin to put him on ebay,he’s old and well played with but he’ll be there if anyone’s interested!

I have a Bosco puppet for sale. amyjeffcock@yahoo.com
i really want the bosco theme tune – in mp3 or wav format. the only one i got was a poor quality realplayer sample off RTE. So if anyone has it , do get into touch on the comments here:

Rick O’Shea on 2fm mentioned Bosco last night – he’s looking for a Bosco ringtone – just mail rick@2fm.ie if you have it or a url for it.
I found links to recordings of the old Bosco LP. Link to side 1 worked, but side 2 didn’t unfortunately. I’ll post the link here after I’ve got side 1 🙂
Bosco rox! wen i was 7 i held a strike 2 bring him back!
the world is a brighter place wen bosco is around
aw bosco is so cul!!it was de best thing eva!i cried so much when it wasnt on ne-more!!!
I found this discussion on boards.ie with a link to MP3s of the Bosco album. Unfortunately only side 1 worked.
Remember, legally, you can only download this if you already have the LP. I know we had it at home years and years ago so I’m covered anyway! 🙂
I’ve got an MP3 about 1.20 long… paul.mcgrath {at} gmail.com
because the O2 website uses frames, its more difficult to get the direct link to the bosco ringtone page..
well,here it is:

that mp3 mentioned above doesnt have the ORIGINAL bosco theme tune – its a later remixed version. the original one was in realplayer format on the “50 years of RTE” website which is no longer available.
anyway – i preferred wanderly wagon

does any one feel that the children of today are missing out on Bosco and his wierdly clad friends Eg. Frank.I think we should get him back or at least get repeats for the new generation.
Anyone see Bosco at the Electric Picnic – s/he got an amazing response – when s/he was finished the crowd kept shouting BOS-CO BOS-CO BOS-CO…
Can anyone remeber the name of the garden that bosco used to visit Mc Flahertys or something like that to settle a debate going on for years?
Faherty’s garden

remove the obvious
I had a Bosco puppet as a child, but it had a solid wooden head and my mother wisely decided to confiscate it when I started beating my cousin over the head with it.
You’re all serious aren’t you..? SERIOUSLY??? C’mon folks, i’m all for nostalgia, ah the fun, remember when it was sunny 105 days a year, ice-cream and a bottla of red lemonade for 5p, never locked OUR doors at night, but JESUS, gimme a break, NONE OF THAT WAS ACTUALLY TRUE! Nostalgia, like Bosco, is a load of bollix, it was a CRAP show, torture to watch, but was the only bloody thing on telly at that hour for children, so no bloody choice but to sit there wondering WHY the presenters didn’t know the words to there own songs, WHY they never seemed to have time to actually finish the stuff they made, and WHY they called Bosco him, when it had a clearly female voice. They showed the same clips every 3 shows, and though i will admit that i’d quite like a Bosco ring-tone, i wouldn’t wish that show on my child in a million years!!
Well if babs hates Bosco so much… Why is he on the link for bosco in the first place. Bosco was a bit of a fool but we all loved the exciting magic door, etc.
RTE have to bring back Bosco if only so I can relive my childhood days watching it while not going into collage! Well it beats Anatomy and physiology!
what happend 2 padjo’s junk box he sould make a come back he was great

Thanks for providing this information, it has been useful in tracking down this tune for my good friend and colleague Paddy O’ Potato who has been working with me in Leeds, England for some time! That said, I do believe that Bosco looks a little like Whoopi Goldberg.
can any one tell were to get bosco songs like( miss the bus your in …………)
BBB- Bring Back Bosco.
I miss Bosco, he was such a big part of my childhood. You have to be Irish and have grown up in the late 80s and 90s to appreciate him. He is a legend. PS the DVD is great
