     The book notes: "Snug And Cozi UK - ITV (SCOTTISH) • CHILDREN'S SITCOM 13 x 10 mins • colour Series One (6) 1 Nov-6 Dec 1996 • Fri 4pm Series Two (7) 19 Aug-2 Oct 1997 • Tue then Thu mostly 4.05pm MAIN CAST Snug Cozi Emily Richard Vobes .... Nigel Cooner • Sarah Montgomery CREDITS writer Richard Vobes • executive producer Elizabeth Partyka • directors/producers Martyn Day (series 1), Haldane Duncan (series 2)"

     The book notes: "Thirteen doses of virtually dialogue-free slapstick comedy for children, depicting the misadventures of two bald aliens, Snug and Cozi, whose home planet, Squadge, is located one hundred million light years distant. Although inexperienced at flying, the pair borrow a rocket and blast off into the blackness, but after encountering a storm of asteroids they crash land on Earth. Here they are befriended by Emily, an 11-year-old schoolgirl, and she introduces them to human customs. In true alien style, of course, Snug and Cozi find it awfully hard to adapt, causing havoc at every turn in an almost identical manner to Laurel and Hardy, the true masters of the genre from 60 years earlier. (Snug is like Laurel; the larger one, Cozi, replicates Hardy's mannerisms.) Richard Vobes and Nigel Cooper, who played Snug and Cozi, are London-based children's entertainers. Note. The second series, announced as comprising ten episodes, stopped at seven."

     The article notes: "Look out for a new children's television series called Snug and Cozi, which starts today (Friday) on ITV at 4pm. It is the brainchild of local actors Richard Vobes and Nigel Cooper, who live in Worthing. They made a pilot film of the programme and sold the concept to Scottish Television. This summer, Richard and Nigel were jet-setting between Worthing and Glasgow, filming six episodes of their new series, which follows the adventures of two crazy space travellers who crash-land on planet Earth. It's a slapstick comedy in the vein of Laurel and Hardy, aimed at children between the ages of four and nine. Snug and Cozi are also aiming their pop record, Pink Heads, will make it into the charts. They will also make a guest appearance on Wow, the latest children's Saturday morning show on ITV tomorrow (Saturday)."

     The article notes: "TV stars of the future, Snug and Cozi, will be touching down in Burgess Hill when they appear at the town's special 'Christmas Day' celebrations. The intergalactic comedy double act have already been dubbed 'Laurel and Hardy in spacesuits' and their live action children's programme is aired every Friday at 4pm on Children's ITV. Their slapstick routine roadshow hits planet Earth at the bandstand at the Martlets shopping centre between 2–5pm on December 7."

        The article notes: "Apart from The Singing Kettle News - based in a newsroom - cartoons such as Hot Rod Dogs, Blobs and Snug and Cozi have all been big hits."

        The article notes: "A string of new programme commissions, ranging from McCallum to Snug and Cozi, boosted Scottish Television's operating profits from production by 43 per cent, to Pounds 3.3 million, their highest ever."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Snug and Cozi to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
