Mr. Punch

"Is everybody out there? Yesssss!" The famous tagline used to start the show by Mr. Punch or "Kasperl", as he is called in German-speaking countries, is well known by every child. The household name of the Austrian childrens television has entertained his fans for over five decades. To ensure the traditional children's hero will be able to amuse children for another 50 years, the ORF has revamped the show and redesigned its star. The core of the show is an imaginative adventure story, presented in a traditional puppet-show style, with Kasperl and his friends. Interactivity is an integral part of the show as Kasperl rhymes and sings with the kids. Kasperl's adventures are about friendship, helping others and solving problems by using one's wits. "Kasperl" represents entertainment for young and old - traditional puppet-show at its finest!
