What are the names of these two puppets that first appeared on British TV in 1987?

Player #52878863, Zig and Zag were from Northern Ireland, which is a part of Britain.

Player Teresa611, Thank you. I was getting a little confused with the Irish reference. Oh course, the Zig and Zag I remember were the two Australian clowns.

In Australia there was a live duo of clowns called Zig and Zag. They were active from 1956 to 1999.

question asked british tv debut in 1987,but explanation states irish debut?!

we still love Zig and Zag here in Ireland.
