I am looking for a puppet show that aired in the 80s on Australian TV, most likely on ABC.This was possibly a one episode special, since the both times I saw it were years apart and it was the same each time.
Basically it was a very creepy puppet show that consisted of a series of stand alone vignettes against a black background. I don't think there was any dialogue. It was broadcast during the daytime, but seemed to have a bit of adult content like nudity and violence. I am not sure, but it may have been European in origin.
Some of the individual scenes that I remember:
- A man inside of a floating box, in a sitting position so that his legs are sticking out of the front. Then his head turns around to reveal a woman's face, another pair of legs comes out of the bottom of the box and then his own legs fall off to reveal a pair of breasts.
- Some guys in a boat in the ocean, and they get covered by green goo.
- A man goes to sleep, then his head detaches from his body revealing a caterpillar's body that comes wriggling out and starts dancing in the air until the head comes off
- A man running on a treadmill, which causes a swing to move faster and faster until the man sitting on it flies off.
