Raise your glasses for Mooney the Badger, another classic character from Pipkins forgotten in the dustbin of childrens entertainment.

OK you asked for it:

The plot was very simple - there was a group of animals and one human who lived together and ran an organisation called "The Help People". They performed useful tasks, that were seldom advertised in Yellow Pages, such as rescuing model aeroplanes from trees!

Every member of the household had a job:


Tortoise (played by Nigel Plaskitt) lived on a cash register and acted as treasurer, but as he was the ultimate cautious pessimist he wouldn't allow anyone to spend any money, as they might never have any more...


Pig (played by Heather Tobias, Lorain Betorelli, Anne Rutter and Alex Knight) was the inventor who created amazing machines - mostly connected with food (how to inject chocolate into a cheese sandwich, for example)...


Topov (played by Heather Tobias, Lorain Bertorelli and Elizabeth Lindsay) was the monkey because he was always on top of something...

Octavia (played by Heather Tobias, Lorain Bertorelli and Elizabeth Lindsay) was an ostrich who just had to look beautiful and sing opera...


Mooney the Badger (played by Nigel Plaskitt) was an occasional character who visited Pipkins. Introduced around 1976 he was an Irish storyteller and carried all his worldly possessions in a red hanky on the end of a stick.


Hartley Hare (played by Nigel Plaskitt) was the Managing Director - or at least he had an office with a portrait of himself and a telephone. He was convinced that he was in charge although funnily the others never realised this...

Hartley the Hare = Paul Hartley (Hearts)
Tortoise = James Scowcroft

Hope this helps....
