During a drunken conversation in the pub, me and friends were trying to work out what Master Yoda from Star Wars was. I remembered there was this programme on around 1989 say about this wee dude who lived in a sand pit and kids would come up to hinm and ask him for stuff. Everyone else remembered it but couldn't remember what he was or what the programme was called?

It was called the psamead a childrens BBC programme about mid 90's I think, involving these 3 victorian children who would go to the sand pit where he lived and he would grant them 3 wishes. Is that the one? link |

Yes, but have you ever noticed how much Yoda resembles the original Doctor Who, William Hartnell? I was beeing geeky at a Doctor Who convention over the weekend (a William Hartnell centenary, no less) and they showed The War Machines. He even does that "humph" noise Yoda makes - and the tips of his ears are bent at a funny angle. |
