Meet Skippy, the lockpicking, drumplaying, deepseadiving, snakefighting kangaroo... I am assuming this is Australia's answer to Lassie? Feel free to educate me.
this used to run in Finland when I was a kid! I used to watch it all the time, only now I realize they must've had some taxidermied kangaroo parts to do all the "kangaroo hits snake" and "kangaroo undoes knot" shots.
ahh that brings back ooold memories. Skippy ran in Finland?! Never realised it was so popular. I'm from Sydney and I watched it all the time as a kid. Don't remember that much except that he was real smart. He'd always have it all figured out and pull off something crazy each time.

I did prefer that show with the dolphin though.

This comedy sketch captures the essence of Skip.
Skippy (the kangaroo), Flipper (the dolphin), Lassie (the dog)... Looks like 70's tv shows used a lot of 50's animal experiments.
