Howard the Turtle lays lifeless as his puppeteer John Keogh and actress Michele Finney take a break to check the script on the set of Razzle Dazzle in November 1963.

The children's program aired between 1961 and 1966 and featured Howard as the star of the show. Howard would often tell jokes, known as "groaners". Young viewers were also invited to send in to receive a secret decoder wheel to read special messages on the screen at the end of each episode.
