Tingha and Tucker

Meet cuddly koalas Tingha and Tucker in this quirky, fondly remembered children's series from the 1960s – a cultural touchstone for millions of children (and adults!), the mischievous marsupials had their own fan club, best-selling annuals and hit records to their name!



Cared for by "Auntie" Jean Morton, Tingha and Tucker – and their hand-puppet chums – had onscreen adventures for eight years, before drawing to a close in 1970. Though many episodes were made, only one was previously known to exist – but the recent discovery of a cache of film material has allowed three more editions to be reconstructed and presented here alongside the following special features:

[] Over three hours of existing film insert material (including several Zoo Club sequences, a young Nigel Mansell, Ilkeston Donkey Derby, baby leopards and much more!)
[] Tingha and Tucker promotional film
[] Blackpool: On Stage
[] Jean Morton interview
[] Image gallery
[] PDF material including annuals, articles and memorabilia
