NO! DON'T!
Honestly, I was just curious what people's first instinct is when putting on a glove puppet – I'm talking about the Emu-like variety, whose muzzle requires a whole hand, not the Sooty-like, arm-waving variety – because mine has always been to have the puppet turn towards me first of all, then face the front and open its mouth like it's going "wow", and I wondered if this was a universal instinct, or if some people immediately went crazy and started chewing the air with it, and what might this say about people, so I was looking for an image, or short clip, to accompany this question, and I had vague memory of a puppet show called Pipkins, whose unorthodox look might fit the bill, and I looked it up and found this, but it is cursed, so do not watch it. The Ancient Greeks had a word with no English equivalent, meaning crime, or sin, or pollution or stain, but I can't remember what is, just please do not watch this. Please do – if you like – post in the comments what your first instinct is when donning a beaked glove puppet, because I'm genuinely interested. But please do not ask where this show is meant to take place, or in what, or who furnished whatever it is, or what lesson it's trying to teach, or why Hartley Hare has those Donald Trump reverse eye shadows, or what... or what... or what the puppets are even made of... because that would mean you had watched the video. And you must not watch the video.
But it's in a city. Is it in a city?
Don't answer. Don't watch it.
(Post Script: Once my spirit had recovered, I researched the career of long-suffering presenter Wayne Laryea, and learnt he hosted another kid's show called Zig Zag which I also vaguely remember. I looked that up, but the first clip I found was from a... Canadian?... show with the same name, which is, remarkably, even more mind-scouringly whatever-that-Greek-word-means than Pipkins. So PLEASE just answer the nice question about puppets and DO NOT WATCH THIS EITHER!)
