''Ferry Boat Fred'' is an Australian children's programme which was first broadcast in 1992 on ABC. The main character is a ferry on Sydney Harbour named Fred, along with his older sister Kate, two other ferries, Lou and Bill, as well as Jean, a really jolly and colourful submarine. There is also the Captain, a Koala who is always found asleep behind Fred's wheel (due to koalas finding things very difficult to stay awake all day). Fred has a voluntary deckkie (deck hand) named Pete, a "know-it-all" Pelican (also best known for his catchphrase "No Worries!") who befriends Fred and follows him around the harbour, assisting Fred and tying him up at Wallaby Wharf. The show was a success during its limited run. It was created by Polka Dot Productions, a company set up by the Producer/Writer John Pye in 1992 with 25 episodes. John Pye, a model maker originally from Dagenham, Essex UK, grew up watching the classic British children's TV shows, ''Ivor the Engine'' and ''Noggin the Nog'' (made by Oliver Postgate's Smallfilms). Not only did Pye write the scripts and the incidental music but was also responsible for making most of the models. The entire series was filmed by Pye and three friends in a loft in the inner Sydney suburb of Surry Hills. The narrator is Jack Osborn, who also provides the voices. A revamp is currently being made as of 2015. ==Characters== *Fred-A yellow ferry, the main character. *Kate-A purple ferry, who is Fred's big sister. *Bill-A blue ferry. *Lou-A red ferry. *Jean-A blue submarine. *Spike-An Echidna mechanic. *Pelican Pete-Fred's constant companion and Deckhand. *Koala-Fred's Captain who is always falling asleep. *Emily-An Emu who loves to shop around the harbour. *Belinda Brushtail-A possum who works as a lighthouse keeper and always sleeps in the daytime. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ferry Boat Fred」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
