    8.8/10(12 votes)

    #1 - Shapes

    S1:E1

    Very first episode - very different to what the show later became. All the well known cast are not here (and did not arrive until 1974). The only recognisable puppet at this point is Zippy, although his voice isn't what we are used to.

    #2 - The Abuse of George

    S12:E35

    Everyone is taking advantage of George, people give him too much to do, make him to their jobs and blame him for everything. Geoffrey, Zippy and Bungle go for a walk and make George stay at home to wait for Rod, Jane and Freddy. He feels very sad and sings a sad sad song. Rod notices George and sings with him, letting him know he is a friend, he has a place and is appreciated.
