    Wot's that Skippy? There's a Sheila running the country?
    And she's a Gwa?
    And she's Welsh?
    Nah, you friggin' marsupial freak.
    Git on back in the bar and bring me a chilled one....

    What was that Skippy?

    Little Johnny has fallen down the mine shaft?

    You need a CBC, a Chem7, 2 pints of O Neg and a neck brace?

    Don't worry Skippy, the helicopter's on the way.

    PMSL @ Skipinder ...

    Back to proper episodes (and of course the doctored Skipinder clip) .... if you look carefully, every time you see Skippy's hands (paws) they are actually Kangaroo paws on sticks operated by a human. Apparently, kangaroos are not as dextrous as we think

    Grew up with Skippy as a child here in Aust. Even met one of the Skippy clones at a shopping centre promo.

    Skippy, harmless antipodean childrens entertainment, much like Home & Away and Neighbours really. As for 9 stunt doubles, I'd want that many if I was going near a mine shaft and no mistake.
