Telecat
thumb|right|Téléchat puppets on display at Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) Téléchat is a Franco-Belgian French-language children's television series created by Roland Topor and Henri Xhonneux. The series aired on France 2 as a segment of Récré A2, and ran for 234 episodes between 1983 and 1986. A satire of news broadcasting, the series centers around a TV news program presented by two anthropomorphic puppets—Groucha, a cat, and Lola, an ostrich. Many objects in their studio are also anthropomorphic and have the ability to talk. The series was later rebroadcast on France 5 in the 1990s,
