Here are
pictures and information I want to share with you on Lee Dexter
and Bertie the Bunyip. Bertie was on television for ten years
from 1956 to 1966 on Channels WPTZ, WRCV & KYW (all Ch. 3 Phila.)
and on WPHL-TV (CH. 17 UHF) in 1966.
Lee Dexter with his Australian accent lent an air of
sophistication to Bertie and Sir Guy de Guy's voice. The gang
consisted of Bertie, Humphrey the White Rabbit (who wore a black
cape), Fussy and his brother Gussy, Nixie the Pixie, Cindy the
dog, Sir Guy the Fox and Twinkle the Squirrel.
A
Bunyip from Lee's description, was a cross between a bunny, a
collie dog and a duck billed platypus. Their adventures could
always be seen on Sunday mornings at 11AM and at times on
Saturdays too. They always showed NTA and Betty Boop cartoons.
