Mallett's Mallet: search back on
Published Date:
18 November 2008
Cult children's telly favourite Timmy Mallett is back on the trail of his most famous prop - six years after it went missing in Leeds.
Timmy's legendary pink foam mallet disappeared as he made a personal appearance at Kirkstall Road nightclub Evolution in September 2002.
Soon afterwards, the star appealed in the Yorkshire Evening Post for the safe return of the outsized item, but to no avail.
Now, though, a picture of a group of pals posing with what appears to be the missing mallet has been spotted on social networking website Facebook.
Two of the people in the snap - thought to have been taken at a bar in the Leeds area - are named on the site as 'Chris Grayo' and 'JoJo Samuel'.
Timmy, who scored a number one single success in 1990 with Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, said: "I was livid when the mallet disappeared.
"It was the one I used on TV. I had to get a copy made.
"All I want is my mallet back - I don't want to press charges or drop anyone in trouble."
