Pinky and Perky

Pinky and Perky is a children's television series first broadcast by BBC TV in 1957, and revived in 2008 as an animated adaptation.

Background

The title characters are a pair of anthropomorphic singing puppet pigs, named Pinky and Perky. Pinky and Perky spoke and sang in high-pitched voices, created by re-playing original voice recordings at twice the original recorded speed; the vocals were sung by Mike Sammes. The show was banned by the BBC for being too political, but public outcry caused them to reinstate it.
In 1993, Pinky and Perky appeared regularly on The Pig Attraction, a CITV puppet-focused talk show, performing a song every week. The Pinky and Perky segments were made in collaboration with Jan and Vlasta Dalibor.
A CGI reboot of the show, titled The Pinky and Perky Show, was released in 2008. A comic strip based on the TV series was drawn by Jim Turnbull.
