Really taken from the American series Flipper this Australian series is set in one
of their national parks. The ranger in residence is Ed Deveraux and his two sons
Ken James and Garry Pankhurst. There's an assistant ranger who flies a helicopter played by Tony Bonner.
Young Pankhurst has a pet who is our title character. Skippy is one smart roo and like Flipper was constantly rescuing the kids and occasionally the adults from one kind of predicament or another.
No doubt that Skippy was ripped off from Flipper but I think it was good that it was broadcast in the USA. We got a look at Australian wildlife and we could appreciate what they did to protect it. Puts America to shame.
Nice show for kids and adults.
