Nookie Bear breezed into Coventry yesterday and quickly made himself at home at
Nookie Bear breezed into Coventry yesterday and quickly made himself at home at the Belgrade Theatre. With him came Roger de Courcey, who launched him to international fame after winning the 1976 final of televisions " New Faces." They will appear in " Belgrade Bonanza" from April 30th to May 26th which also includes comedian Charlie Williams and pianist Bobby Crush. This will be something of a homecoming for Nookie because he was made by Peter Pullons theatre property-making business, P. M. Productions of 16 Quinton Road, Cheylesmore, Coventry.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Nookie Bear, the beloved puppet who captured hearts worldwide after his victory on the television show 'New Faces' in 1976, arrived in Coventry with a breezy charm yesterday. Accompanied by his creator and ventriloquist extraordinaire Roger de Courcey, Nookie wasted no time making himself at home at the iconic Belgrade Theatre. Excitement fills the air as they prepare to grace the stage together once again in 'Belgrade Bonanza, ' a must-see production running from April 30th to May 26th. Joining them are renowned comedian Charlie Williams and talented pianist Bobby Crush, promising an unforgettable performance for all. For Nookie Bear, this is more than just another gig; it's a joyous homecoming. Crafted by Peter Pullons of P. M. Productions right here in Coventry's Quinton Road back then, Nookie has come full circle to entertain his loyal fans where it all began. This photograph captures Nookie Bear's infectious happiness as he smiles alongside Roger de Courcey during their heyday in 1979.
