Inigo Pipkin/Pipkins
Inigo Pipkin was a puppet maker. Hartley Hare, Pig, Tortoise,
Octavia the Ostrich and Topov were a group of animals who lived
with Inigo and ran an organisation called The Help People.
Tortoise lived on the cash register of the shop and looked
after the cash. Pig was an inventor (and had a lab in the cellar),
Topov was a (very ugly) monkey who lived in a tree house in the
garden and Hartley Hare was the boss (or thought he was) and
always craved to be the centre of attention.
This series began in 1973 as a show called Inigo Pipkin,
starring George Woodbridge as the titular Mr P. Unfortunately,
George died during the second season so the show was re-named
simply Pipkins and continued on with Johnny (Inigo's
assistant) and the 'animals'.
