What happens

Hickory House is a British television programme aimed at pre-school children. It was produced by Granada Television from 1973 to 1977, and broadcast on weekday lunchtimes. Each programme was usually hosted by a pair of presenters, most often including Alan Rothwell. The setting was a normal house, but in Hickory House, household objects were brought to life through puppetry. The puppet characters included Humphrey Cushion and Dusty Mop. The puppets were created by Barry Smith. All 129 episodes survive in Granada's archive, although none has yet been released on DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
