REMINISCENCES IMPRESSIONS

Long, long time ago in Poland, when I was a child, every night there were very popular shows for children (before sending them to bed) called "Dobranocka" (Good-nighter for children). They were shown just before 8 pm having cartoons, acting puppets, telling stories, poetry, etc.

One of the more popular shows at that time was called "Mis z Okienka" ("Teddy Bear in the window"). In that show an actor, played by very good, but not well known for his other work actor Bronislaw Pawlik, was conversing live with a bear puppet. Children loved that show, and it run for many years. The actor was always associated with that "Window Bear" and probably hated it, because that was his only casting. Probably 'cause of that, he was traditionally closing his show after the cameras were turned off with a sentence:
"And now dear children kiss my ass, I'm goin' to get drunk!!!"

One night the cameraman played a practical joke on him and kept the camera rolling during his 'goodnight speech', so it got broadcasted live. You can imagine the mess it caused. The show was immediately cancelled.

By the way, it was the best thing that could have happened to Bronislaw Pawlik. He started being casted in more challenging plays and it launched him an excellent acting career.
