Very first episode - very different to what the show later became. All the well known cast are not here (and did not arrive until 1974). The only recognisable puppet at this point is Zippy, although his voice isn't what we are used to.

Cast: Peter Hawkins, David Cook, Hugh Portnow, Tim Thomas, Fluff Joinson, John Leeson, Hugh Fraser, Geoffrey Hayes
