Odd job man Simon Bodger (Andy Cunningham) had a highly unusual pet and best friend – a badly behaved, beret-wearing, talking Badger (who was obsessed with mashed potato).
Bodger had a variety of jobs throughout the series – He worked as a chef at a rather run-down bistro called ‘Troff’s Nosherama’, as a handyman at Letsby Avenue Junior School – where he worked under fierce headmistress Mrs “fish-face” Trout (Lila Kaye), a 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 was 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.
