Wrong Name Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I am sad to hear of the passing of Andy Cunningham. Andy was known for Bodger and Badger as well as his work as a puppeteer and his appearance Epahnt Mon in Return of the Jedi. Andy started coming to Showmasters events last year and I had heard that he very much enjoyed meeting his fans. For me, meeting him and Badger was one of the best guest experiences I have had as the amount of trouble Badger caused was just as funny as ever! He will be missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Personally I can't say I liked B&B but it's always sad when people we know of pass away, especially when they are lovely people and at least we were given the opportunity to meet him. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I echo this sentiment completely, the best guest experience I've ever had too. It helped that Bodger and Badger was my favourite show as a kid, but the fact that he was so nice and refused to charge me a penny for any of the Bodger and Badger stuff! Chatted about the series at length and Badger called me one of his 'mashy mates', got a photo too. This news has gotten to me almost as much as when I heard Victoria Wood died. Off to watch some episodes of YouTube (because infuriatingly the BBC still haven't released it on DVD!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charmer Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Oh no :-( That's really sad news. I loved that show. I never knew he did cons, would have definitely gone to see him if I'd known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted June 7, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 7, 2017 This is the first I'd heard of Andy's passing, what a great shame both he and badger were hugely popular at shows and a big part of my childhood as well. Very sad news indeed RIP Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
