Distinct Nostalgia
The Great Pipkins Reunion
In a response to Sesame Street in the early 1970s, the UK's ITV network launched a series of lunchtime kids shows aimed at young children. From the Midlands came ATV's Pipkins which was filmed at Elstree next to The Muppets studio. Pipkins was full of puppet characters including a pig, a monkey and a tortoise. But the one every kid remembers is Hartley Hare who became the big star of the show. Writer Gail Renard, presenter Jonathan Kydd and puppeteer Nigel Plaskitt join MIM's Ashley Byrne for a trip down memory lane. Will Hartley put in an appearance?
Meanwhile another blast from the past at ATV (long time 70s announcer Peter Tomlinson) has been brought into introduce this special podcast.
