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]
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
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.

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)
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)
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.

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)
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?

Does anyone know whether the song "Here we go Looby Loo..." was written for this show, or whether it was an existing traditional children's song used by the show?
This US article says that "Here We Go Looby Loo" is "a song from the British TV show "Andy Pandy." Looby Loo was a rag doll who sang this song on the show. She would only come to life when Andy Pandy and Teddy weren't around. Looby Loo swept and dusted and she would sing her special song while she danced and played. This song became popular and found its way into American song books for children." But,
this says: "Words & music: traditional". Certainly, the song was widely known from the 1950s onwards (if not before), and hit pop versions were recorded by
Johnny Thunder (US) and
Frankie Vaughan (UK). It seems more likely to me that the character was named after an existing traditional song, rather than the song being written for the character. Either way, if we can find good sources, I would have thought the song should have an article on its own.

Ha! Answering my own question....
this source has it as a traditional children's game recorded in various places in Britain, with the Doncaster version using the same tune as the show used. Article needed!

Definitely the Looby Loo song is older, though it may have been called something else in its early form. I found Here we dance lubin, loo in a book from 1884. — Soap — 15:27, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

If the taped episodes didn't get made until 1952, the entire list of air dates for the 1950s episodes is incorrect. Someone needs to do some research. I wonder if BBC Genome has the answers? Digifiend ( talk) 08:59, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Saying that “Andy Pandy” was one of several marionette shows in the Watch With Mother strand is fine and probably relevant, but it just seems stuck in where it is, and makes a dog’s dinner of the information about Bizzy Lizzy (not “Busy Lizzie” as given) as that too was a puppet show, not “drawn” as stated (were that the case it probably shouldn’t be mentioned here at all).
