Skippy's enormous popularity at home and abroad inevitably resulted in a range of merchandising spin-offs, including several sound recordings related to the series.

This page from a publicity brochure for Skippy highlights the international popularity of the show.

The theme song for Skippy by Eric Jupp (1922–2003) is one of the most recognisable Australian television theme songs of all time.

This is an excerpt from side one of a spoken word recording giving the backstory of how Skippy and Sonny first met.

In the late 1960s American programming dominated our television screens and homegrown drama series were still comparatively few.

The Intruders (also known as Skippy and The Intruders) was the only full-length feature film based on the television series.

In this scene from the Skippy feature film The Intruders (Lee Robinson, Australia, 1969), Meredith (Kevin Miles) has kidnapped Sonny (Garry Pankhurst) and Meg (Jeanie Drynan)

At the height of its popularity Skippy was broadcast in 128 countries with a weekly audience of over 300 million viewers.

This very short, jaunty jingle was produced by Jack Grimsley. This is one take of four that we have in the collection.

Large crowds gather at a Newcastle shopping mall in 1969 to see 'Skippy' with her handler, Scotty Denholm. Skippy's popularity saw huge crowds turn out on this national tour.
