In 1992 Robinsons™ commissioned Playboard Puppets to produce two commercials for their cartons of fruit drink. The two commercials featured seventeen different characters, first seen whizzing through the countryside on the top of an open double decker bus and then on a multi wheeled bicycle, all the time slurping their Robinsons™ fruit drinks. The characters were varied from a basin to a bisson, a twelve foot dinosaur, a basket of cod and chips to a shark and bus driving pig, to mention but a few!

Sally was in the Playboard team of puppet and character costume makers constructing the whacky characters used in the two Robinsons™ television commercials. Sally worked especially on the snake, jelly fish, shark, hippy flower and dinosaur characters.
