Default Picture request

Many years ago there was a cute picture of a duck on a skateboard.

Does anyone have a copy of this skate boarding duck that they can post on this site ?

If you have any other pictures of animals on skates or skateboards, actually travelling, they might be of use as well.

Willl explain later

Thankyou for you efforts,

I vaguely remember there was a photograph of a duckling on a skateboard. That was the image I was hunting down.

This is for work purposes.
Will explain later.

Care to elaborate now on why you were looking for the picture, Sticks?

You owe it to ROB, Mark and me after all our detective work!

I have been asked at work to compile works publicity posters for National Leg-It day

I needed something humourous. I still believe there was a picture of a duck on a scateboard once, possibley on Nationwide in the early 80's, however the budgie will suffice.

This is a copy of the poster I did today with the image supplied by Mark.

Sticks, just to put your mind at rest. Found a couple of references to your skateboarding duck :


Quote:
Oh, and Down And Out, which broke all the Nationwide rules by a being a bloody compelling (and relevant) piece of journalism. Tony Wilkinson was the man responsible there. Presumably each report was followed by that bloody skateboarding duck or somesuch Wellingese tomfoolery, and the point was soon forgotten...
and also this

Quote:
The archetypal 70s teatime show carried on into the early 80s trying to become more serious and shake off its 'skateboarding duck' and 'beer-drinking slug' image.
Couldn't find any pics though. Shame!

Now I know you guys are good at finding stuff.

Does anyone remember, and more importantly have an image of, the Water Skiing Elephant

Or any other Waterskiing animal photograph, so I can make up a new Leg It Day poster

I have come across this one



Although it is not the exact one I remember from the "And Finally" slot on the News at 10:

If anyone knows of that one, let us know
