We're sooo excited to have our latest designs in! From such a classic show too!

Inspired by the huuuge hit, Mork and Mindy was an American sci-fi sitcom that was broadcast back in 1978, right up until 1982 on their popular channel ABC.

Now, we're sure that this show could be a few years before your time. It certainly finished before many of us TruffleShuffler's had landed on earth in our own little eggs! So here's a little rundown...

The show tells the tale of the space alien from the planet Ork named Mork, played by screen legend Robin Williams, who (crash) lands his egg-shaped ship into planet earth after he is sent to study humans. He quickly meets Mindy, a sweet 21-year-old played by Pam Dawber who having just been abandoned by her boyfriend, needed to be chaperoned back to town. She decided to help Mork to adjust to life on Earth and they become great friends despite Mork usually frustrating her.

At the end of each episode, Mork reports back to Orson (his long-suffering superior) on what he has learned about Earth. These end-of-show summaries really are the peak of the shows humour and generally involve making fun of the things we all do.

This time, we've been looking into some amazing facts from none other than 1990, Johnny Depp classic Edward Scissorhands!

1) According to the director Tim Burton, Edward's suit was made of (among other things) latex, leather, the old sofa in his first apartment and tape.

2) Johnny Depp only says a total of 169 words through the whole film. Easy script or what!

Not only would today have been today Dahl's birthday and also the official celebrated Roald Dahl Day, but this years also sees the 50th anniversary of one of his most infamous classics Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Wowza!

Last year we took a dive into the life and time of Roald Dahl himself with our 10 Facts You Didn’t Know About Roald Dahl, this year we've decided to take a look back at his work and pick out some of our top quotes from some of his all-time classic quotes.

Enjoy!

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” - The Twits
