French children's television series, re-voiced in English by the BBC
Hector's House (French La Maison de Toutou) is a French children's television series using glove puppets.
Hector's house characters
It was first broadcast in France on 1ère chaine on 27 October 1966 and ran over seven series and 78 episodes.[1] It was re-voiced in English and broadcast on BBC1 on 9 September 1968 and repeated throughout the 1970s.[2] Each episode lasted 5 minutes and it was regularly given the pre-six o'clock time slot that brought children's programmes to a close.[3]
It was written and performed by Georges Croses with puppeteers Agnès Vannier and Georges Tournaire, using 60 cm (2') tall puppets on a garden set.[4] The English version followed the French script faithfully with minor deviations.
