 Budgie the Little Helicopter
- Brave and friendly helicopter featured on the animated half-hour
children's series BUDGIE THE LITTLE HELICOPTER/ITV/1994-96. This
aviation adventure follows the antics of Budgie, the smallest
helicopter in the hangar and his adorable copter buddies, Lionel,
Pippa and Chuck. They all interact with Harefield Airfield's
resident mechanics, Mike and Ken. The series debuted in England
and later premiered in America in 1995 on The Fox Network's
weekday preschool program, FOX CUBHOUSE as a component series of
MAGIC ADVENTURES OF MUMFIE.
The program is based on four
children's books written by HRH Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of
York. The books included Budgie, The Little Helicopter; Budgie at Bendrick's Point;
Budgie Goes To Sea; and Budgie and the Blizzard.
Sarah Ferguson got the idea for her successful children's
character while training as a Royal Navy Pilot. Produced by Sleepy
