Gilbert the snot-tastic acerbic green alien from Drill landed on earth in the Summer of 1986. He was one of the co-presenters of Tyne Tees' Saturday morning kids show "Get Fresh". Gilbert presented snot-infested sketches, antics and escapades alongside his human pals Gareth Jones (aka Gaz Topp) and Charlotte Hindle, and his gabbled, gooey ways made him an instant hit with kids big and small. His stream of nonsense was as relentless as the trails of green snot which spilled from his big red nose.
