Bobo the Clown coconut face

You know fandom has reached astronomical levels when your likeness is carved from an unhusked coconut. That was the case for Charles ‘Hal’ Turner, the clown star of The Bobo Show, which was the first program broadcast on Adelaide television station SAS10 on 26 July 1965. When Turner appeared in public in his Bobo costume, he was invariably mobbed by children. His daily make-up routine to transform into Bobo involved two hours to apply the sticky greasepaint and 90 minutes to take it all off.
