Number 25 – They created the first very stupid and very violent puppet show for children

Wrong! The Punch and Judy puppet show can trace it's roots back to 16th century Italy, and was extremely popular in France.

It was (and still is) basically a story showing the fight between good and evil – Punch although a funny character always got his comeuppance in the end – it taught children that if they led their lives without violence and greed then they would have happier lives.
The stick that Punch used to hit Judy with was not a walking stick as Mr Grasse states, it was in actual fact a “slap-stick” which was a device that, although it caused a loud crack, used very little force to the person being struck (it is of course where we get the word slapstick).
