This was one among many shows that would be on UK tv during the school holidays.  Not sure if they made lots of episodes or the same ones were repeated endlessly.  When the stories are so similar its difficult to tell!

Heh! You said it karen!

Not sure if it was big in the States, but it's one of Aus's biggest exported shows, with over 100 countries showing it...

Anyone not familiar?

Think 'Lassie' in a 'roo's body!

And, of course, that theme tune!

...including The Netherlands. It might have been dubbed, though...we did that a lot in those days.

Yeah, I remember that part. Can't remember the rest of the song, though - or any of the episodes, for that matter. :-\\ I probably was too young.

Online all of the song is:

Skippy, Skippy
Skippy the Bush Kangaroo
Skippy, Skippy
Skippy, our friend ever true.

It should be brought back on!
