Season 6 • Episode 13
LatestKipper, Tiger (wearing his proper farmer's boots), Pig and Arnold are off to the farm. Arnold finds a large white egg and makes a nest for it in his buggy. The others tease him, but soon the egg hatches and a duckling appears. It joins it's mother duck and six brothers and sisters and soon Kipper with Arnold on his shoulders, Tiger slipping in the mud as he carries the buggy, and finally Pig, join the end of the fluffy procession.
Kipper is a charming collection of tales that follows the adventures of a curious and friendly dog as he explores the world, makes new friends, and learns valuable life lessons through imaginative fun and play.
Acting
Martin Clunes' voice work: warm, wry, never patronizing.
Writing
Stories where nothing bad happens. Revolutionary, actually.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kipper helped pioneer the 'slow TV' movement for children, influencing modern shows like Bluey with its unhurried, observational storytelling.
Mick Inkpen originally created Kipper in 1989; the TV adaptation deliberately kept animation minimal—Kipper's mouth barely moves—to preserve the book's gentle, dreamlike quality.
