Comments and Reviews


Focus B 20th Jun 2015		I got the impression the intention was to make another series if "Inigo Pipkin", the puppet maker. With the death of George Woodbridge they amended the title of the programme. I remember watching the first episode of "Pipkins" which started with the puppets and Johnny talking to each other about Inigo. Johnny turns to the camera to tell viewers the sad news that Mr. Pipkin had died. As an eight year old I remember laughing out loud in disbelief that a pre-school series would mention the death of its main character, certainly was a brave move. The first series of "Pipkins" kept the same theme song with amended lyrics, "Here Come The Pipkins" in place of "Inigo Pipkin".



RadoxTheGreen 31st May 2015		I'm a bit at odds with IMDB on this one. I've always considered Pipkins and Inigo Pipkin to be different series, with Pipkins being a sequel to the original rather than the same series carrying on. From what I remember, the original show relied largely on "head to head" conversation routines between Inigo and Hartley Hare, and sometimes with Tortoise. It had a cosier feel to it, in the same way that Bagpuss feels cosy. When it changed to Pipkins, I always felt they were trying to make it like the Sooty Show, too much going on. It didn't feel like the same show any more and even back then I was wishing they had just let the series end rather than try to revamp it. Of course, that's how I remember it. It may be a case of memory cheating. Unfortunately, with so many of the early shows lost forever, we'll probably never know.

BiggieTembo 30th May 2015		I think I'm regressing. Schnozzle's uploading my entire childhood! I'm experiencing things I've long since buried in the deep recesses of my inner psyche. One of them is Pipkins. I liked it though, thought Hartley Hare was like my mate at school - he always wanted his own way with things, the little sod. I remember too that the Pig character was my first encounter with a Birmingham accent.
