Flunked question 7, never remembered "Adventure Island", except where it was on the Banana Splits Show, as a feature.
Uh oh Chungo !! With Skeleton painted natives. The doctor, his spunky daughter and his son.

:playful:

7. This Australian TV show had a mixture of people and characters in suits. With strong elements of pantomime, which Aussie show had characters such as Mrs Flower Potts, Clown, and Percy Panda?

Your Answer: Shirl's Neighbourhood

The correct answer was Adventure Island

'Adventure Island' was made between 1967 and 1972 by the ABC network. Shown Monday to Friday, a continuing storyline set in the town of Diddley-Dum-Diddley was told by a narrator over the week. The stories involved characters such as Liza (a real person), Percy and Dodo Panda, Clown, and Betty Bruin who would meet other characters who were not so nice and who tried to trick them. To allay fears in child viewers that their beloved characters would come to harm, one of the regulars would sometimes turn to the camera and remind viewers that things will always work out for the best on Fridays. There was also a talking house and puppets in the form of birds, mice and Samson the cat who sat by the narrator.

The show ended on Friday nights with the hostess saying 'So until we meet again, be good, do all you can that's right, and we'll be back to see you same time on Monday night.' in fitting with the good beating evil theme of the show. Awww.

'The Magic Roundabout' was a British TV show, while 'The Curiosity Show' and 'Shirl's Neighbourhood' were Aussie children's shows with no similarity to 'Adventure Island', though equally entertaining.
