Notes

Originally aired as a 5-minute standalone series in the UK. When it was imported into the US, it was incorporated as a segment of the CBS morning children's program Captain Kangaroo, and narrated by its star, Bob Keeshan. Canadian broadcasts were narrated by Ernie Coombs, a.k.a. Mr. Dressup.

Followed in 2002 by a Canadian-produced remake series that reformatting the concept into a half-hour series.

The series received renewed additional public awareness in North America in the 1990s due to Mike Myers (a Canadian actor likely familiar with the Coombs-narrated CBC broadcasts) parodying it several times on Saturday Night Live.
