You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. So let's go find Andy, Teddy and Looby Lou and join them in some of their favourite songs and games. My kids (nearly 4 and 2) love it and ask for this more than Teletubbies or Bob the Builder, sing along with the songs and love the characters.

Naturally, Andy doesn’t have a sheet or any clothesline – that’s a woman’s job – so Looby helps them out, and they pitch the tent. Please note these four episodes are taken from early BBC TV colour footage and the colour may vary between episodes - please do not adjust your set! Though the emphasis of the original series was on music and movement, the emphasis of the 2002 series was on making and doing. When Teddy gets impatient waiting for his avocado plant to grow, Andy Pandy helps him to make some paper trees.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. citation needed] The series was animated and produced by Cosgrove Hall Films and Ben Productions (the latter also producing the 2001 remake of Bill and Ben aka Flower Pot Men). This series was based upon a comic strip of the same name (made in the style of children's magazines Robin and Pippin). Puppeteers: Audrey Atterbury, [5] Molly Gibson, [3] Martin Grainger, The Stavordales and Christopher Leith (in the 1970 colour series). I wonder why nobody suggests to Andy that maybe he shouldn’t be sleeping in a thick cotton onesie when it’s hot.

When Bilbo finds a box of bolts, Andy Pandy has the novel idea of using them to make a musical wind chime.He is just about to give up when Andy suggests a novel way of getting his house drawn – with some paper and wax crayons. 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.
