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

Published in 1972 in the UK and printed in Italy, this hardcover book is full of colour illustrations, stories and puzzles aimed at children who were fans of the Skippy television series.

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.

'Skippy, Australia's most famous kangaroo, is hopping back to the world's television screens in a brand new 39 episode children's series', heralds this bi-fold flyer, printed to promote the 1991&nb

The Skippy reboot The Adventures of Skippy ran for 39 episodes in 1991 and starred Andrew Clarke.

Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown (1998– 99) was a completely new spin-off and bore little, if any, resemblance to the original Skippy series.
