The closing theme according to my memories is wrong. It should be:
[Andy and Teddy hop into the hamper during next verses]
Time to go home,
Time to go home,
Andy and Teddy are waving goodbye.
[hamper closing during next verses]
Time to go home,
Time to go home,
Andy and Teddy are saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
[Goodbye appears on screen. Fade]
Goodbye theme in the 1960s/70s
Time to stop play
Just for today
Andy and Teddy must now go away
Time to stop play
Just for today
Andy is saying goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
- Almost certainly wrong. The version at the top of the page is more or less my recolection, but it would be as much uncited as both versions here. 86.151.56.235 (talk) 17:55, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Original producer
My research indicates a different original producer. I can't find anything to support Lingstrom as producer. IMDB lists Boisseau as producer. Can we get a source for Lingstrom as producer in the opening paragraph of the main body of text? CzechOut 13:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Andypandy.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

1970
Perhaps they were broadcast later than 1970. My father wasn't persuaded to get a TV until 1970 and I remember watching them. Anyone want to look through old copies of Radio Times? The Watch with Mother site reference says 13 episodes were made in colour in 1970. Perhaps they were the ones transmitted. See also Watch with Mother episode guide --Tsinfandel (talk) 23:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Episodes may have been made in 1970 and would certainly have been made in colour at that time, but 13 of the original episodes were filmed in colour for testing with the 405 line experimental colour transmissions. They have never been broadcast in colour for regular broadcasting for obvious reasons though the colour prints were used in the monochrome telecine machines. All 13 colour films allegedly still exist. One of the films was used as a demonstation of a (625 line) colour telecine system demonstrated by the BBC at the Radio and Television Show prior to the introduction of colour broadcasting (which would put it before 1967).
- Deleting contributed information from articles is considered to be Vandalism:Blanking. 20.133.0.13 (talk) 13:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
When was the first episode?
There is a discrepancy between sources when the first episode was. My guess is that 11 July 1950 was the date of the first episode that was filmed in 16mm, and that 20 June 1950 was the unsuccessful first episode broadcast when the strings got tangled resulting in Audrey going home and weeping. This area needs further research.--Toddy1 (talk) 21:50, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Colour in the 1950s episodes
The idea of 13 1950s episodes being filmed in colour seems implausible. The cameras used in 1950 in Studio D at Lime Grove were three CPS Emitron cameras, previously used for outside broadcasts. The 16mm films would have been films of the transmitted programmes. i.e. the CPS Emitron cameras filmed the puppets to make programme, and the 16mm film camera filmed a monitor in the Lime Grove studio. See tvstudiohistory.co.uk--Toddy1 (talk) 21:50, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
- It would not be beyond the engineering expertise of the day to either mount a 16mm film camera alongside the TV camera, or (more likely) to temporarily replace the TV camera with a film camera. It is also possible that the episode was performed twice, once for the colour film. The reference makes reference to kinescope recording for programmes that were performed live but not for non live. Given the poor quality of kinescope recording versus direct filming and subsequent scanning, I doubt that the BBC would have opted for this method for any programme material that was never intended for live transmission. They certainly didn't elsewhere. 20.133.0.13 (talk) 13:23, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has to stick to verifiable facts. Film cameras existed long before TV cameras. Today it seems bizarre how the BBC operated at the time - filming the monitor instead of the actors/puppets. But nevertheless that was how they operated.
- Unless some sources can be produced for these alleged colour 1950s episodes, I propose to delete the mention of them. Is 7 days from now a reasonable deadline?--Toddy1 (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
No citations have been produced for the alleged 1950s colour episodes - so I have removed them as promised. If you want to put the statement back, please make sure you include a citation.--Toddy1 (talk) 10:40, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Books
I own about 10 Andy Pandy books, I didn't even know that it was a TV series. Someone more knowledgeable than me might write about the books?

Removed her from the infobox on the 2002 version. IMDb lists her for the original live version from 1950 only. Philip Cross (talk) 17:15, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
