Mr Blobby
A pink and yellow inflatable that got to number one.
A character from Noel's House Party who became a genuine Christmas number one and then a theme park.
Blobby got the 1993 Christmas number one, which remains one of the strangest facts in the history of the British charts.
Crinkley Bottom theme parks followed. One of them ended in a legal dispute with Lancaster City Council that cost the taxpayer millions. All of this is true.
