Introduction by SmartSE

Reflinks will help you to turn bare urls into templated references, hopefully leaving you more time to write and reducing link rot caused by bare urls. The tool visits each webpage that is in a bare reference and collects the page title and some other information automatically, the tool has to be checked over manually to make sure that the references are filled in correctly by the tool. You may have to remove some extra information from the template and add extra details if the tool is not able to find it for you. Some links may be marked as dead links incorrectly as the site blocks the tool, you may wish to manually check these dead links before adding the dead link tag to the article. The tool also does a few other minor maintenance tasks.

'''''Emu ''''' was an anarchic [[British television]] puppet of [[Rod Hull]], and after successful appearing on a number of Variety shows, he was given his own Television series on the BBC, then on [[ITV]].

==BBC==

===Emu's Broadcasting Company===
'''Emu's Broadcasting Company''' (1975–1980) was a children's television series featuring [[Rod Hull]] and Emu running their own television station, which parodied many [[BBC]] series of the time.  Supporting Rod Hull and his emu puppet were [[Billy Dainty]] who played a [[James Bond]] pastiche called Captain Perceval and [[Barbara New]] who played the tea lady.

==ITV==

===Emu's World===
In 1981 Emu and Rod hull switched to the newly awarded [[ITV]] franchise [[Central Independent Television]] and also introduced green [[witch]] [[Grotbags]] (played by the singer and comedienne [[Carol Lee Scott]]), with Rod and emu living in a pink windmill.

The premise of the show was simple: each week [[Grotbags]] threatened and tried to steal Hull's aggressive arm length puppet Emu so that once captured (in Carol Lee Scott's own words) she would be able to use its "special powers" to control all the "brats" in the world.

*Series 5: 6 editions from 9 March 1984 - 13 April 1984
*Special: Emu at Easter: 20 April 1984

===Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show===
The Series morphed into ''Pink Windmill show'' and carried on from Emu's world, but the format also featured viewer phone-ins, as well as a segment in [[Grotbags]]' grotto where selected members of the audience were offered the chance to win prizes, and lots of singing and dancing, and this show achieved enormous popularity during its early years. The show is probably now most fondly remembered for Rod Hull's catchphrase "There's somebody at the door, there's somebody at the door" every time a visitor rang the doorbell (which 'sneezed' loudly when pressed) at the Pink Windmill's entrance.

The series first aired in 1984 and was televised live. A second series which followed in 1985 was also broadcast live. Thereafter, the series was pre-recorded (until it was eventually cancelled in 1988) airing simply as ''Emu's Pink Windmill Show'' which was floor managed by Martin Essex.  All series were produced and directed by [[Colin Clews]] for [[Central Independent Television]] and broadcast from the now defunct ''East Midlands Television Centre'' in [[Nottingham]].  The series was heralded as one of the greatest successes of the so-called "Dream ticket" collaboraton between Producer/Director [[Colin Clews]] who produced several popular TV hits for Central Independent Television in the 1980s.
