What Was 'Button Moon'?

Button Moon was a UK children's television programme. It was first broadcast in the 1980s on ITV. Each episode of Button Moon lasted around ten minutes.

The main character in Button Moon was Mr. Spoon, who lived on a planet called 'Junk Planet'. Other main characters included Mrs. Spoon (Mr. Spoon's wife), Tina Tea-Spoon (Mr. and Mrs. Spoon's daughter) and Egbert (Tina Tea-Spoon's friend). Regular characters included Little Bottle and Small Bottle, Vacuum Cleaner, Captain Large, Freddy Teddy, Rag Doll, Benny Bin, Betty Bucket, Brew, Brew's Mum and Thunder. All the characters were puppets made out of everyday items.

Each story consisted of Mr. Spoon travelling into Blanket Sky and off to Button Moon to visit his friends. Once there, he would use his telescope to spy on people back at his home planet. After this, he would bid goodbye to his friends and then head home.
