A Bit Animated

It's 3:50. A broom cupboard. A logo created on a BBC Micro. A young man with dyed brown hair is smiling beside a sock puppet that’s squeaking ecstatically to itself. The man grins.
Hello there.’ His teeth fill the bottom half of his face. ‘Hope you’ve had a good day at school. We’ve had a lot of letters from you, haven’t we Gordon?’
The puppet squeaks.
The man opens up an envelope and pulls out a small jumper in blue and red with a yellow ‘SG’ on the front. He holds it up to the camera.
‘Look what Annie Smith from Croydon has knitted for you ... you’re Super Gordon now.’
The gopher begins squeaking again.
The man laughs. He turns to the camera . . .
