Odd job man Simon Bodger (Andy Cunningham) has a highly unusual pet and best friend – a badly behaved, beret-wearing, talking Badger (who is obsessed with mashed potato).
Bodger has a variety of jobs throughout the series – a chef at a restaurant called Troff’s Nosherama, handyman at Letsby Avenue Junior School (under fierce headmistress Mrs “fish-face” Trout), handyman at the Chessington World of Adventures (a theme park and zoo), and running the Seagull’s Rest Bed and Breakfast in Puddleford – but Badger is always getting him into trouble.
Badger later gained some puppet pals – Mousey (a mouse), Luigi (another badger) and China (a dog).
This BBC series aired on Wednesday afternoons between 1989 and 1999.
