This is Mr Pipkin's Workshop. Come on in and look around. See all those puppets ? Well, Mr Pipkin made them and they are rather special, for they can dance and sing just like humans.

Mr Pipkin and Johnny have finished making a monkey puppet, but as Hartley Hare points out, it doesn’t move...

Now that the monkey can move, Mr Pipkin and Johnny think very hard for a name, they even ask Tortoise for help. What can they call the newcomer ?

Mr Pipkin’s nephew, Fred, visits the workshop and tells his uncle that he is entering a bicycle race, but funny things seem to happen to Fred…

Hartley cannot find his glasses. Are they lost, or has someone hidden them? Poor Hartley is in for a worrying time…

Mr Pipkin, Johnny, Hartley, Tortoise and even naughty Topov are all going away to the seaside for a holiday. Dr Stethoscope is going with them to make sure that no one, especially Hartley, gets a cold.

Inigo Pipkin has problems. When he had a telephone put into the workshop, he didn’t realize the trouble it would cause…

Topov keeps getting his beard in the cornflakes…

Bertha sets out for the workshop to see Johnny but when she arrives Mr Pipkin and Johnny are out. Although she’s a bit cross, she decides to clean up while they are out. Hartley helps out, but finds the vacuum cleaner too loud for his big ears!

A new puppet has been made and it’s nearly ready to be shown. But Hartley can’t wait. He wants to see it now, and it’s through trying to take peep at it that he has an accident.

The new puppet makes snorting noises. He also eats all the time, often rather strange things. Hartley puts up with this for a while, until he finds drawings of food among his own pictures…

It's Hartley's birthday - and there are lots of surprises. He doesn't know he's going to have a party, a present and a surprise telephone call!

Johnny is now in charge but without Mr Pipkin to teach him to make puppets, how will he earn money to buy food ? He has an idea…

Bertha tries to help run the office but she upsets Hartley’s way of doing things. However she does find a quick way of planting potatoes…

Uncle Hare takes Mrs P into town and finds he likes his own hollow much better. But Mrs P likes one place they visit... where they keep fish on ice!
