Punch and Judy was a puppet show that happened at the beach.
Punch was always made with a hunch on his back, so actually Punch was a disabled man. He was also a bully in the show.

- Can you think of any other disabled characters in stories that are the bad guys?
- How about Captain Hook in Peter Pan, or Darth Vadar in Star Wars?
- Why do you think disabled people are chosen as baddies? And do you think this is okay?
Watch the Pinch and Buddy puppet show!
Can you put on a show with your puppets?
