POOKIESNACKENBURGER, a six-piece group of musical entertainers, formed in Brighton in 1981 and were 'discovered' while busking in Covent Garden, London.
The name Pookiesnackenburger came from a character featured on a compilation album of 1960s American radio recordings.
They signed a record deal with Stiff Records in 1981, releasing the "Just One Cornetto" 7" the same year.
An album, "Beach Party" was released the following year, under the name POOKIE.
Twelve months in the making, the "Pookiesnackenburger In..." TV series was commissioned by the UK's Channel 4 after the group had taken part in lively 'filler' items for the channel in 1983.
The series comprised five episodes of comedy and musical zaniness - each pursuing a different comedic idea.
All of the material was written, composed and performed by Pookiesnackenburger.
The best episode of the series was entitled "Hell Bent", and featured a "Black Metal" band called "IRöN LUNG" recording their latest album in an old abbey in the West Country whilst dabbling in satanism.
Songs in the episode included the epic "The Löst Pentatönic Canticle Of Beelzeebub" and "It's A Heavy Metal Life".
Pookiesnackenburger sadly went their separate ways soon after the series aired, with Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell going on to form the successful musical/dance collective STOMP.
Guitarist John Helmer later became a lyricist for Prog Rock band MARILLION, and also for Marillion guitarist Steve Rothery's side project THE WISHING TREE.
Helmer also wrote the novel "Mother Tongue", published by Quartet Books in 1999.
