''Andy Pandy'' is a British children's television series that premiered on BBC TV in summer 1950. Originally live, a series of 13 filmed programmes was shown in 1970, when a new series was made. A third series was made in 2002. The show was the basis for a comic strip of the same name in the children's magazine ''Robin''. ==Original 1950 version== The original version of ''Andy Pandy'' premiered on BBC TV in 1950, on either 11 July〔(Watch with Mother )〕〔 or 20 June,〔 as part of the ''For the Children'' strand (later ''Watch with Mother'') narrated by Vera McKechnie. Initially the programmes were transmitted live, but it was realised that if the programmes were filmed, they could be repeated. Twenty-six episodes of fifteen minutes duration were filmed on 16mm,〔(TV studio history Lime Grove )〕 and were produced around 1952; they were repeated continuously until 1970. This version had narration by Maria Bird. In one episode Andy Pandy sees how high he can go on a swing, an episode featured in the 1987 compilation by BBC Video. Under the umbrella title ''Watch With Mother'' as well as the Andy Pandy episodes, there were also ''The Woodentops'', 'Bill and Ben', all having a similar format-filmed marionettes, there was also an animated drawn character called 'Busy Lizzy' incorporated into the ''Picture book'' series. All the filmed black and white 1950s original transmissions were narrated by Bird, who was to become a co-producer, with Freda Lingstrom, who worked for the BBC. Bird was a prolific writer of books for the very young, notably Andy Pandy, but it was for her distinct 'BBC English' enunciation that she is best remembered. A marionette who lived in a picnic basket, Andy was later joined by Teddy, a teddy bear, and Looby Loo, a rag doll, who would appear when Andy and Teddy weren't around. Looby Loo had her own special song "Here we go Looby Loo".〔(WATCH WITH MOTHER at televisionheaven.co.uk )〕 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."〔(Andy Pandy : Classic Children's TV of the 20th Century at wwwk.co.uk )〕 It is claimed that the design for the character was based on Paul Atterbury, the then young son of puppeteer Audrey Atterbury.〔(Audrey Atterbury on Telegoons.org )〕 A comic-strip version was published in ''The Robin''.
