Rag, Tag and Bobtail, part of the Watch With Mother children's programmes on BBC Television in the 1950s, were created by Louise Cochrane. Rag, a hedgehog, Tag, a mouse, and Bobtail, a rabbit, were glove puppets, unlike two other Watch With Mother favourites, Andy Pandy and the Flowerpot Men, which were marionettes.
