Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Skippy, created by actor John McCallum and film director Lee Robinson, was produced for the Nine Network from 1966 to 1968. It told the adventures of a young boy and his intelligent pet kangaroo in Waratah National Park, outside Sydney. By the end of 1969, Skippy was reportedly screened in 80 countries-more than any other TV show in the world. It led to books, toys and a feature film called The Intruders (1969). |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The role of Skippy was handled by three kangaroos: Jo-Jo, Stumpy and Wildy, together with a few others, handling less demanding tasks. See more » |
| Goofs | Skippy's trademark 'tchk tchk tchk' noise was entirely fictional. Kangaroos make no such sounds. It was produced by someone clicking their tongue. See more » |
