When Teddy is scared by a beetle, Andy Pandy helps him get over his fear by making beetle masks with him. Andy Pandy first aired on Tuesday 11 July 1950 and became very popular straight away. Made on film rather than broadcast live, surviving episodes are therefore now among the earliest relics of British television history. When Andy Pandy finds that Bilbo's old sea-chest is full of sand, he has a seaside holiday on his very own beach. The series was followed by a revival with 26 episodes (52 segments) in 2002. In total, 92 episodes were produced.

Tom Conti narrated the new series.

After Tiffo destroys Teddy's plasticine mouse model, Andy Pandy makes modeling clay so that Teddy can create a model of his mentor. Teddy gets a present of a pair of roller skates, so he challenges Andy Pandy and Looby Loo to a race.
