Pipkins - Childrens TV | Jedi's Paradise

Pipkins Pipkins is a 70’s Children’s TV puppet show created by Michael Jeans and the programme was shown continuously from 1973 to 1981. 313 episodes were produced. The series was originally called Indigo Pipkin, the name of the chief character who was played by George Woodbridge. Unfortunately George Woodbridge died during the recording of the second series. Wayne Laryea, who played Johnny, his assistant, took over and the programme was renamed Pipkins. Story The plot of Pipkins was very simple - a group of animals and one human, who all lived together, 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. Each member of the household had a job. Tortoise lived in a cash register and acted as treasurer. As he was a cautious pessimist he wouldn't allow anyone to spend any money, as they might never have anymore! Pig, who had a 'Brummie' accent, was the inventor who created amazing machines - mostly connected with food. The monkey was called Topov because he was always on top of something. Octavia was the ostrich who just walked around looking beautiful and singing opera. Hartley Hare was the Managing Director, or at least he thought so. The others had different ideas.
