Favorite non-U.S. puppets and animated children's series

Made up a sort of inventory of shows I remember fondly, some of which I have available to watch now, some I'd love to be able to see again. I wonder if I've forgotten any?

Perhaps others might contribute their own lists?

I forgot about Rupert Bear! I just got the first set on DVD not so long ago. There are three volumes but one was good enough for scratching the nostalgia itch; very well made puppets show, Mary Turner and Christine Glanford who had worked on the Anderson 'Supermarionation' shows worked on Rupert.

I'm not sure if Michael Bentine's Potty Time (try explaining that title in America) would've been strictly for children, but I do have one of those DVDs too. More puppets! I knew I'd forget something.

I'd forgotten about Cloppa Castle... I see it was on a Network DVD set, might be harder to get now (am I ever going to miss them!). I think Ivor and Noggin ought to be too, pretty sure Pogle's Wood has been on DVD.

The Flumps (stop-motion) and Torchy The Battery Boy (puppets). Amazing!

Henry's Cat was great fun, having quirky plots that got zanier as the series went on.

While I like most of Gerry Andersons programmes, Thunderbirds probably wins on average.
