Description

Emu is a four-year-old puppet emu which was given to British entertainer Rod Hull in the 1960s while he was presenting a children’s breakfast television programme in Australia. Hull adopted the mute puppet for his cabaret act, and took it with him to the United Kingdom when he returned in 1970. The character was given a mischievous and sometimes aggressive onstage persona, attacking celebrity guests (and Hull himself) for comic effect, notably on Michael Parkinson’s chat show in 1976.
