In 2002, BBC produced a revival of 52 episodes with the use of stop-motion animation instead of string puppets: the original nursery and garden were expanded to an entire village, with Andy, Teddy and Looby Loo now owning individual houses, as well as four new characters that were introduced in the series: Missy Hissy (and Missy Hissy’s brother, another snake who is never seen); Tiffo, a teal-and-purple dog; Bilbo (vocals performed by David Holt), a sailor; and Orbie (vocals performed by Maria Darling), a yellow-and-blue ball. Tom Conti narrated the new series. Teddy is having a hard time of it painting a picture of his house. He is just about to give up when Andy suggests a novel way of getting his house drawn – with some paper and wax crayons.

With a gale blowing in Pontypandy, Sarah and James find that their kite is flying rather higher than they intended! Can Fireman Sam help? The content of Chemistry Set and Treasure Hunt are both taken from the original 1988 release and 1992 re-release of Fireman Sam 3: Sam's Day Off (BBCV 4197). There is great excitement in the garden when Looby Loo plans a picnic. When Teddy manages to break her plates, Andy Pandy has a solution. It is said that the character's design was based on Paul Atterbury, the then young son of puppeteer Audrey Atterbury. [4] A comic-strip version was published in Robin.
