Dickory Doc

In his toy shop at the North Pole he makes toys for Santa Claus to give away on Christmas Eve. He's assisted by his puppet elves Choo-Choo, Professor Schnitzel, Jingle Jim, Little Jock, Mr. Bigsby the Buka Bird and Riddles. Supermailman, who flies in delivering mail everyday and there are friends that drop by occasionally like Abby the Adorable Snowman and Puff the Flameless Dragon (A.K.A. Puffy).

The show was produced and created by Aldo Farnese (Dickory Doc) and Chic Laganella (Supermailman). They both supplied most of the voices of the puppets.

Aldo went on to play "Adam Android," a futuristic space-traveler, also created and produced by Aldo Farnese and Chic Laganella and using most of the same puppets. Unlike the cold snowing setting of the North Pole, this show took place on a Spaceship.
