Here Ashley meets one half of Cosmo and Dibs who were the characters that graced the long running kids series You and Me in the 1980s.
Francis Wright tells us how he landed the role as puppeter and voice as well as charting the history of You and Me which dates back to the early 1970s.
The show was tremendously popular with several generations of children growing up in the 70s, 80s and 90s and the characters including Crow and Alice and Duncan the Dragon are remembered fondly.
As part of the episode Dibs himself pops by to say hello.
Enjoy!
