I reckon poor old Hartley had a touch of mange about him, I'm a bit worried about the three people in the picture from "Let's Pretend" as well, especially the bloke on the right, I dunno what he's pretending and I don't think I want to! The bloke on the left isn't much better and the poor woman in the middle looks scared to death (so would anyone between those two) or maybe she is about to be struck in the head by a large arrow?

i loved this programme - I loved the bit where it used to say 'time for a story' and all these clocks would start ticking - I also loved octavia ! The best bit when hartley used to get hit on the head with a ball in the theme!

It was a kool show, another that should be repeated, there should be a nostalgic tv channel, just for us adults who are still big kids, and when tv was way better than today.

I use to love Pipkins, it was a great show.
There are two Pipkins dvds out now for those interested...including a new episode on the 2nd release.

Yep i remember this it was one of my favourite shows and in fact i posted about this a while ago when i joined. I was given a link to 'catch up with the cast' as it were and it was brilliant to look back at the puppets. Thanks for that.

Hartley the rabbit was the mankiest looking stuffed toy puppet on the telly and he had a anger problem as well.

Hartley Hare used to (and still does) scare the living shite out of me!

Although I still think of pig saying "Can oi ave a cleam boon please hartley" when I talk to Brummies.

There are a few episodes on youtube. I'm sure Pig and Topof are auditioning for pr0n soundtracks when they're manning the gates!

Re: Pipkins???

The puppets were cheap and nasty, especially Hartley Hare. There was something mildly creepy about them.

Re: Pipkins???

I can remember the old boy who played Inigo Pipkins fairly well. Being the older brother I also ended up watching many other episodes of it. Thinking back wasn't Hartley Hare made from one of Inigo Pipkins jumpers or coats?
