Retrieved 9 December 2021.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. It is said that the character's design was based on Paul Atterbury, the then young son of puppeteer Audrey Atterbury. [4] A comic-strip version was published in Robin. Though the emphasis of the original series was on music and movement, the emphasis of the 2002 series was on making and doing. [ 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).

Teddy tramples on Looby Loo's favourite blue flowers, so he makes decoy flowers with tissue paper, twigs and blue paint. It is claimed that the design for the Andy Pandy character was based on Paul Atterbury, who at the time the young son of the puppeteer behind the character Audrey Atterbury. A marionette who lived in a picnic basket, Andy was later joined by Teddy, a teddy bear, and Looby Loo, a rag doll, who came to life when Andy and Teddy were not around. Looby Loo sang "Here we go Looby Loo". [8] All three lived in the same picnic basket. Each episode ended with a variation on the song: "Time to go home / Time to go home / Andy is waving goodbye." [9]Singers: Gladys Whitred, Julia Williams [voiced the 'Little Weed'] and Maria Bird (in the 1970 colour series). [10]

Teddy is having a hard time of it painting a picture of his house. 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 Andy Pandy finds that Bilbo's old sea-chest is full of sand, he has a seaside holiday on his very own beach. After Tiffo destroys Teddy's plasticine mouse model, Andy Pandy makes modeling clay so that Teddy can create a model of his mentor.

Puppeteers: Audrey Atterbury, [5] Molly Gibson, [3] Martin Grainger, The Stavordales and Christopher Leith (in the 1970 colour series). [5] Andy Pandy would pop up again in when a revival of the show was made in 2002. This time the show was the basis for an Andy Pandy comic strip in the children’s magazines Robin and Pippin . Whist the original series had used stringed puppets the revival used stop-motion techniques. These episodes were repeated until 2008.
