Animal Kwackers


Animal Kwackers was a popular children's television series produced by Yorkshire Television and broadcast on Britain's ITV in the 1970s.
The Animal Kwackers were a four-piece pop band consisting of Rory, a lion; Twang, a monkey; Bongo, a dog; and Boots, a tiger. The characters were played by actors in costumes. The show was similar in many ways to the successful US series Banana Splits.
The music was a mixture of well-known pop songs and original songs, most of which were written by Roy Apps and the producer Peter Eden.
The jingle from the series was "Rory Rory tell us a story, Rory Rory tell it like it is!"

Cast for series 1 and 2

The Animal Kwackers released a double album which featured a selection of songs from the show. Whilst the album featured some original music it was mainly made up of cover versions, including The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds".
