The Adventures of Noddy was the first TV series to feature Enid Blyton's famous character Noddy. It was a string-puppet show that ran on ITV from 1955-1956[1] and BBC from 1955 to 1963.[2]
The entire series is preserved within the BBC Archives and footage occasionally gets used in documentaries and clip shows.
Although episodes of other Noddy shows have been found, very little footage of the 1955 series resurfaced online.
Part of an episode was shown in a VHS documentary special hosted by Phillip Schofield: Best Children's TV Of The Decade: '60s and '70s.
In addition, footage was also shown in a 1957 TV advert for "Kellogg's Sugar Ricicles."

Characters
Name | Role | Trivia |
---|---|---|
Noddy | The main character | He's one of the most influential children's book characters of all time, and is sometimes called "The Little Nodding Man" |
Big Ears | Noddy's Best Friend | There's a lot of controversial stuff about Noddy, and Big Ears. Such as when series author Enid Blyton depicted them sleeping together. While there is no issue with that, it was highly looked down upon when released in the 1960s. |
Mr. Plod | Police Officer | As we see in "Noddy's Camera" he is a very friendly police officer, and is a friend to all |
Tessy Bear | Noddy's friend | Tessy Bear has depicted the earliest episodes of the show, and is the 2nd most important character. |
