@drdawn86 Couldn't agree more. Larry Grayson was a likable chap - non-offensive. Loved the Generation Game (mind you, I did have a crush on Isla St Claire!) Still do! Hartley Hare was always a bit of a rebel. I liked his "dragged-through-a-hedge" look!
Hartley Hare was just like Larry Grayson! Even his teeth and voice! I liked Hartley, as he was the one who was always in trouble. Although he looked like he had been run over a few times!
I remember this well, jesus do I just. Hartley Hare was a split of Larry Grayson, if you remember him from the Generation Game - shut that door, there's a draft in here, and all that, fame.
Rainbow with Zippy and Bungo were pretenders, is all I say.
I vaguely remember this. It didn't last all that long, (due to the main actor dying), and was changed to just, 'Pipkins', with Jonny and Bertha. The animal cast remained the same.
@NorthernSoulGer I do though ; 1973 when i was already 10 yrs old ; dinner times home from the junior school,this was always on.That was Inigo,the old bloke who later died
Such fond memories! The song always stuck in my head over the years.

Well remember the announcement of the death of Inigo IN the show. Quite traumatising as a child.

I remember that George Woodbridge who played Mr Pipkin died during the second series, & it was changed to Pipkins but it was never the same.

@paulreno1 we used to call the pig, "sponge slit" as thats what his face was like a sponge with a slit for a mouth, and a birmingham accent

I remember this tune and program but can't recall much about it. I remember the later Pipkins very well.
