Work Advent Calendar 2018 Day 2: The DJ Kat Show, 1994

DJ Kat was an unprepossessing puppet, Dutch in origin - in fact it was created by the company that became Endemol - which served as the mascot of Sky's kids' output, such as they had much, every weekday morning between 1986 and 1995. In later years it was mostly a framing device for imported cartoons and puppeteer-ed by Don Austen (responsible for a horde of puppet and animatronic film and TV work from Live & Kicking's Leprechauns via Spitting Image to The Phantom Menace) but rarely let off from a glorious mess of sketches, skits, interactivity and so forth. Put together from broadcasts over two days, the 20th and 21st December, Kat, human sidekick Joe Greco (Spatz, Emu's Pink Windmill Show) and a cast of... two others put on a version of A Christmas Carol.
