Synopsis:

This immensely popular 1970s kids' series introduced a new ensemble to the world of British pop... one brought to Earth by a flying saucer and entirely unhindered by musical differences or lip-sync issues! Meet the Animal Kwackers Rory the Lion, Boots the Tiger, Bongo the Dog and Twang the Monkey. Britain's answer to the Banana Splits minus the psychedelia and the alarming camera angles these four strange but lovable animals made the fur fly with renditions of golden oldies, contemporary hits and self-penned numbers; there was a story each week and every show was inspired by a given theme. Entertaining pre-school viewers, students and school escapees over three hit series, this set contains every existing episode of Animal Kwackers (two are missing from archives). So if you're a child of the Seventies haunted by hazy memories of a guitar-strumming lion, rest assured it was very real indeed...

Animal Kwackers was a children's television series produced by Yorkshire Television and broadcast on Britain's ITV in the 1970s. The Animal Kwackers were a four piece pop band consisting of Rory, a lion; Twang, a monkey; Bongo, a dog; and Boots, a tiger. The characters were played by actors in costumes. The show was similar in many ways to the successful United States of America (US) series, Banana Splits. The music was a mixture of well-known pop songs and original songs - most of which (including the theme song) were written by Roy Apps and the producer Peter Eden.

Four garishly-coloured, music-loving animals - Rory the lion, Bongo the dog, Boots the tiger and Twang the monkey - visit Planet Earth in their flying saucer from the mysterious planet of 'Popland'. They sing contemporary pop hits and tell a story, before returning to their home planet at the end of each episode.
