Which famous bear met royalty, skated with the Ice Capades, travelled in a Rolls Royce, performed ‘Quando Quando’ with a 65-piece orchestra, and almost worked with Jacques Tati? None other than the beloved Fredd Bear, whose creator Tedd Dunn set the bar for children’s television performers in Australia. Fredd – a direct ancestor of Humphrey B Bear, and just as popular with children of the era – appeared for the first time on The Children’s Show in 1964 and was such a success that he had a new program, The Magic Circle Club, built around him. He also appeared on Fredd Bear’s Breakfast-A-Go-Go and The Wonderful World of the Young.
