The Robin
It was in the 1950’s that childrens television came of age and
Robin
was launched
as the companion to Eagle, Girl and Swift - aimed at the younger age group. In
1950 Andy Pandy had hit the screens. In the first TV episode he was alone, but
soon Teddy arrived and then Looby Loo. Only 26 original episodes were made, all
in black and white, a further 13 colour were added in the 1970’s. The Flowerpot
Men (Taff and Dusty ?) were added to ‘ Watch with Mother’ a couple of years
later.It was in response to this that Robin was issued on the 28th March 1953 and the front cover featured Andy Pandy. Along with the Flowerpot Men other favourites were Mr Woppit and Toyville. We believe the last issue of the comic was in January 1969 although were not entirely sure. We have seen annuals dated as late as 1974. Perhaps someone out there can help us?
