Reception

"This puppet duck presented other puppets singing contemporary songs of the day for five minutes just before 4.00 pm. Sounds simple, yet it achieved a viewing audience of 3 million and had something of a cult following with students.", according to the website Nostalgia Central.
Jim Sangster also considers that Pinky and Perky's "basic format was revived in 1989 for the bizarre Dooby Duck's Disco Bus, which once again had marionette animals performing contemporary pop hits."
