These are the lyrics to the theme tune of concurrent show Kipper the dog...
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
But what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

I laughed at love cause I thought it was funny
But you came along and moooooved me honey
I've changed my mind
This love is fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Kiss me baby
Mmmm feels good
Hold me baby
Welll I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
C'mon baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

(piano solo)

Welll kiss me baby
Mmmm feels good
Hold me baby
Welll I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
C'mon baby, drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Kipper the Dog
A hug from Kipper
GenreChildren's Show
Created byMick Inkpen

Kipper the Dog is a character in a series of books for preschool age children by a British writer, Mick Inkpen. The books have 34 titles (as of July 2005), have sold over 8 million copies, and have been translated into over 20 languages. The books have also won many awards.

Kipper is also the name of an animated television series based on the same characters. In some cases, the episodes are specifically based on particular stories by Mick Inkpen. The videos have won awards including a BAFTA award for best children's animation. The show was broadcast from 1998 to 2001 on Nick Jr.. It currently airs on PBS KIDS Sprout and in Spanish on V-me. It took a break for a while from CITV until it was repeat on Christmas Eve 2003 showing the 'Christmas Eve' episode and repeated for most of 2004. Kipper hasn't been on CITV since then.

The show was released on VHS and DVD by HIT Entertainment, but the episodes were not in order.


Cast of characters

  • Kipper, the protagonist
  • Tiger, Kipper's best friend
  • Pig, Kipper's 'other best friend'
  • Arnold, Pig's toddler cousin, who says little beyond simple words like "igloo" and "duck", Arnold has many exciting encounters while the others are occupied
  • Jake, a large sheepdog
  • The Bleeper People, space aliens who live on the Moon
  • Mouse, a mouse who lives with Kipper in his house
  • Holly, a girl dog who does not appear in the animated series
  • Trilbert, a rat who moves into Kipper's house one day and steals Mouse's cheese.

Kipper is somewhat similar in appearance to an orange beagle.

Tiger has been identified by some as a Scottish terrier[1][2], but confused with a miniature schnauzer due to his grey colouring and white mouth, which would be unusual for a ‘Scottie’.

Holly is taller and thinner than the others, with a mottled coat that may hint at her being a dalmatian.

Voices

Martin Clunes voices Kipper's part, while Chris Lang voices almost every other character.[3] A notable exception is Julia Sawalha, playing the part of Mouse.[4]
