In 1959 they worked with the circustheater where they developed acts under the names: "The Melton Brothers" and "The Crocksons". Under that last name, they also recorded some songs. Rudi Carrel asked them to write material for "Pipo de clown" and they also performed on a tour for the "Nederlandse Spoorwegen met Willeke Alberti en Fred Kaps". In 1975 they went to the Dutch producer Joop van den Ende with the idea to create a television program for children.
