Following news that Paddington Bear now likes Marmite, we are sad to report that Professor Yaffle has sold himself out to Yakult.
Yogurt guru Yakult bought the Bagpuss affiliated Professor for 50p, and shares in all future products.
The evil conglomorate, who sell the yogurt based product said: 'Professor Yaffle is everything that we at 'Yakult' aspire to be. He is charming, intelligent, dapper, and a hit with the ladies, and it is a match made in heaven. People who were children in the 1970's remember Bagpuss, and Madeline, and Gabrielle, God rest his soul, and believe that they can trust them, to look after their children and their health'.
Professor Yakult is now at an exclusive health resort, having his wood-worm seen to.
