For anyone interested in how Skippy was filmed, watch this black-and-white production footage that effectively show just how challenging it was to get a kangaroo to cooperate on set. Animal handler Scotty Denholm was clear that you couldn't train a kangaroo, as you could other animals. The crew frequently resorted to using kangaroo paws on sticks for close-ups when Skippy needed to open doors or put objects in her pouch. What would animal trainers for film and TV do differently in 2022? This sec

Skippy has become such a touchstone in Australian popular culture that it's open to all kinds of lighthearted parody. In this 1990 segment by the comedy team at Fast Forward (Series 3, Episode 13), a very 'stuffed' Skippy is seen performing voodoo rituals in Waratah National Park – without a permit! – and then has an exorcism performed on her which itself is a parody of a classic scene from The Exorcist (William Friedkin, USA, 1973). In its day, Fast Forward (1989–92) was Australia's highest-rat

Happy World Animal Day! What better way to celebrate than with that most famous of Australian animal characters, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo? In this clip, Skippy has been captured by the nefarious animal collector Doctor Stark. Frank Thring plays the Doctor as a Bond-villainous dandy with an affected accent, a cravat, a cigar and a Panama hat, who lives in a mansion and orders his lackeys about. His arrogance and pretension form a marked contrast to the salt-of-the-earth types that form Skippy’s e
