    David Lloyd aka Bumble.

    I saw a programme on him this week. He was nicknamed Bumble, by his teammates, in the 70's, because there was a programme called Michael Bentine's potty time. Apparently there were "puppets" called bumblies, that had large noses and his teammates could see a similarity.
