Andy Pandy and Teddy at the Zoo (Little Books)

Product Information

Andy Pandy and Looby Loo make a picture from a jigsaw puzzle, but they can't figure out why there is a hole in the middle. The original black and white episodes – perhaps fewer than forty in total are thought to have been made up until 1959.

Originally live, a series of 26 filmed programmes was shown until 1970, when a new series of 13 episodes was made. Andy Pandy and Teddy help Looby Loo with the spring cleaning, but Teddy ruins a portrait of Looby Loo. When Tiffo and Teddy lose Tiffo's favourite snack in the branches of a tree, Andy Pandy shows Teddy how to make a pair of stilts to retrieve it.Andy Pandy makes a puppet from an old sock, and tries to convince Missy Hissy that she has a new friend. Shown weekly in an almost unbroken run until 1969, the film prints eventually became too damaged to broadcast so Westerham produced another thirteen episodes in 1970, now in colour but otherwise virtually unchanged. When Andy Pandy finds that Bilbo's old sea-chest is full of sand, he has a seaside holiday on his very own beach.

The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. He is just about to give up when Andy suggests a novel way of getting his house drawn – with some paper and wax crayons.

The original episodes were 15 minutes duration, whlst the revival episodes were just 5 minutes long. This time the show was the basis for an Andy Pandy comic strip in the children’s magazines Robin and Pippin . Made on film rather than broadcast live, surviving episodes are therefore now among the earliest relics of British television history. In 2002, BBC produced a revival of 52 episodes with the use of stop-motion animation instead of string puppets: the original nursery and garden were expanded to an entire village, with Andy, Teddy and Looby Loo now owning individual houses, as well as four new characters that were introduced in the series: Missy Hissy (and Missy Hissy’s brother, another snake who is never seen); Tiffo, a teal-and-purple dog; Bilbo (vocals performed by David Holt), a sailor; and Orbie (vocals performed by Maria Darling), a yellow-and-blue ball.

I remember being a little bit daunted by Andy Pandy, perhaps it was his brilliant striped rompers or his human likeness, but I was so fond of Teddy that it didn’t matter. In each episode, the narrator spoke directly to both the audience and Andy, mediating between them: ‘Andy Pandy, the children are here’ or ‘we must sing something for the children first’.Private Registered as private seller, so consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not apply. These three jolly characters would dance and frollick and play games in and around their nursery and garden, and they’d encourage younger viewers to participate at home. After Tiffo destroys Teddy's plasticine mouse model, Andy Pandy makes modeling clay so that Teddy can create a model of his mentor. They question the “relationship” between the three stars in between knowing winks and nudges and it’s all terribly tedious.
