Reception
"This puppet duck presented other puppets singing contemporary songs of the day for five minutes just before 4.00 pm. Sounds simple, yet it achieved a viewing audience of 3 million and had something of a cult following with students.", according to the website Nostalgia Central.[7]
Jim Sangster also considers that Pinky and Perky's "basic format (...) was revived in 1989 for the bizarre Dooby Duck's Disco Bus (5 Jan-30 Mar 1989), which once again had marionette animals performing contemporary pop hits."[8]
