Mr Piper

[remember]

Mr Piper was a TV show hosted by a large Canadian opera singer chap, wearing pied piper stylee get up. He would sing and narrate stories that would be shown as cartoons, which you always went out the window at the back of the house to see. Then there was 'Down on Animal Farm' another narrated story, this time he would point down to a hole in the skirting board and there would be real little animals (mouse, hamster and a rat?).He also did magic tricks that he produced out of his big bag and there was the talking parrot too!

Re: Mr Piper

I remember his annoying parrot shouting 'Piper, Piper, hiddle diddle, here's a riddle'

He always replied in a false cheery voice 'What is it this time, Polly?'

Got the theme lyrics

Come with me,
Come and see,
All the wonders there will be
In my stories and in my songs,
And everywhere where fun belongs.
You’ll meet heroes, giants bold,
Visit lands both hot and cold,
With magic tricks to shiver your skin,
Laughs galore with animals in
My world of fun —
Pied Piper's Home.
[With Canadian opera tenor Alan Crofoot, dressed as a Pied Piper]

Down on Animal Farm had Rupert the Rat, Kookie the Kitten and Bessie the Bunny as the main characters. They were real animals. There were also a raccoon and I believe a frog. I have been SEARCHING for a long time to find these clips somewhere, but I can't. Does anyone have any ideas on where I might find them?
