Overview

Animal Kwackers was a 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 United States of America 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" !
