Hunter

Cselekmény

Hunter was an educational Australian children's television series that aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s on the ABC. Twenty-four episodes were filmed and produced in Hobart, Tasmania, by ABC Hobart between 1985 and 1985, although the series was repeated often on ABC TV until 1992.

It focused around a man, known as "Hunter", investigating, or "hunting" for information. His clothing was akin to an old English detective. Hunter's favoured mode of transport was a bicycle adorned with a bright small triangular flag at the end of a pole. He was played by Philip Sabine.

His companions included "Computer Cat", represented by a puppet on the show, and a mouse, represented by a live mouse named Albert, which often ran around in the brim of his hat. He was also occasionally joined on his adventures by his niece Minnie. CC was made by Jennifer Davidson, founder of Terrapin Puppet Theatre, which is based in Hobart.

The theme song to the show included the lyrics "What, why, where and when, that's Hunter!".

The Hunter show was watched by many Australian school children, often as part of their school curriculum, at primary-school level.
