BBC Documentaries - Skippy - Australia's first Superstar

Seizoen: 1 - Aflevering: 79 / 45 - Eerst uitgezonden: Onbekend - Episode ID: 495040

Everybody remembers Skippy! 91 episodes sold in 128 countries, watched by hundreds of millions worldwide, the show put Australia firmly on the global map and for those of a certain generation, the heroic marsupial is synonymous with their childhood, often in more profound ways than they realise. The film is both a tribute to the forward-thinking and hard-working souls who created the ground-breaking series, and also an analysis of how they did it and what it meant for all those millions of viewers around the world. The film has secured a number of coups . it's the first time that child star Garry Pankhurst, who played Sonny, has spoken of his experiences as the most famous kid in the world. The producers have also managed to obtain a world exclusive interview with none other than Skippy herself. the ageing diva's sardonic wit and lingering ego make for revealing, and at times controversial viewing. Fast, fun, entertaining, and undoubtedly nostalgic, the film leaves the viewer laughing, crying and ultimately realising the importance of a TV series that finally showed Australian stories could and did find a worldwide audience.
