Førjulstida is in full swing and christmas right around the corner. On the tv, rolls advent calendars of all varieties across the screen – some new and some old.

Julekalenderklassikeren “Christmas in the Skomakergata” went on tv for the first time in 1979, and was regularly broadcast on NRK until 2003. Those who wish can still get a reunion with both the shoemaker Jens Petrus Andersen and Tøfflus on the channel’s web tv.

the Newspaper took a December-morning trip to Marienlyst and the NRK to greet slipper Tøfflus, who was a regular fixture in the series.

Still happy in kruspersille

Usually reside Tøfflus in a white box on a stock at the NRK, but when we came to talk, he had left the “house” of his. After a little exploration we found him finally: In a crowded textile warehouse looking for yndlingsretten.

– I’m on searching for a little bit kruspersille. It has been a little low lately. Do you have anything kruspersille with you, ask a hungry Tøfflus.

– No, unfortunately. But you don’t get enough food here then?

– No, not so much. I rest the part, but with the bears that live in hi need to have some nourishment. So it is with slippers too. But I need not so much then, tells Tøfflus.

Even if kruspersille still is the favorite, as he admits that there is another urteplante consumed on special occasions.

At the party may I take a minute korianderkvast.

Tøfflus remember well that some filmed life in Skomakergata for many, many years ago. Or “guarded” them, as he says it. The talking slipper tells that it still goes a lot in nellikappelsin calendars, music with Jens Peter, marsipanlaging and of course – Jon Nap.

– I have a separate small cinema, so I can see Jon Nap.

Tøfflus tells us that there are many back on the BBC, but he is very shy so he doesn’t dare to say hello to all. But he still got some new friends among the neighbors.

– There are other dolls here too. Of and to, on the torsdagsnettene at. 12, when it happens that we meet. Then comes west trevor, Bart Valet, Max, Manufacture, Alpha, also a giraffe. Then there are the two guys who called the contamination risks and the Crumb that comes, and a book. We are many! Many strange, and then we have some fun, ” says Tøfflus, and adds:

It is very nice. So we take a little kruspersille and a little coriander.

Got girlfriend in 1979

Tøfflus is currently single, but he tells us that it has not always been like that.

I had a girlfriend once, but she has been gone, ” says Tøfflus.

It was at a somewhat unusual way the two met.

She came in the mail, a small, plaid slipper with yellow braids. Came from Østerdalen, from a place called the Grounded. Where there was someone who sent a girlfriend to me.

Tøfflus don’t know where she is now, but think she might have gone back to the field.

the People rebel against NRK

” It was very long ago. In 1979, yes, that was it. It was right after I had woke up to life.

Fine juleønsker

– do you Have any favorittminner from when you were filmed in Skomakergata?

There came a puppy visit and was with us for a while. It was the fine. Then there was an old lady who wrote a diary, and she sang so nice. There are so many good memories. So I was with Jens Peter, and we heard on the gramophone and talking.

– do you Have any juleønsker?

– I wish that all children around the world to have a good. It was a nice juleønske? Also, as much kruspersille that they just want to, for it is healthy and well.

Creative process

It is an actor and dokkefører Åsmund Houses (68) who is the man behind Tøfflus. It is many years since he took on the slipper every day on the job, but occasionally he takes on both the voice and the puppy again.

– Especially in December, les Houses.

He is behind several well known characters from children’s tv, which He Operated from “Sesame street” and Sjirraffen Raffen from the “Portveien 2”.

Houses tells that the creative process varies from figure to figure.

– With Tøfflus I got almost instruction of how he should be. Otherwise, as I work a lot with to become acquainted with the characters. I’m starting with my own voice, but then change it after every. I often find the personality in the facial expression to the characters.

Houses draws the Giraffe Raffen as one of his favorite characters, but I think it was great fun to work with Tøfflus and “Christmas in Skomakergata”.

It was a very nice job. Great production and great actors, says the Houses.
