Notes
No official episode title appears on screen in the original series, so the lists were initially created from the titles used on various official DVD releases. The main episode titles for series 1 to 4 were taken from the official Japanese DVD releases and the alternative titles from the official European DVD releases, as well as titles used on BBC VHS releases. Episode titles for series 5 and 6 were taken from the European DVD releases. Changes have subsequently been made to these titles to bring them more into line with English usage and practice (e.g. to correct spelling and grammar) and to relate them to the titles used on UK DVDs produced by HIT Entertainment. Alternative titles have also been appropriately added, amended, etc. Title data have also been supplemented with information from other sources, such as the titles used by the BBC for television broadcasts and on video tapes.
In the UK, the BBC appears never to have broadcast any of the normal 5-minute episodes from the latter half of series 3 (3.14 – 3.26) or from series 4 (4.1 – 4.26).[2] However, all the episodes from the latter half of series 3 (3.14 - 3.26) have been featured on BBC produced videos. Of the episodes that have been broadcast, all have been broadcast since 4 September 2006 inclusive. All of the 156 episodes, including Pingu at the Wedding Party have since been released on DVD by HiT Entertainment in the UK.
Between 2006 and 2007, after the ending of the original show, the BBC, Nick Jr and APTN in Canada were showing The Pingu Show, an anthology television spin-off series that centres on Pingu and his own whale-shaped funhouse. It is packed with real-life penguin facts, sketch comedy skits, and two episodes from the original cartoon. It was also narrated by Marc Silk.[3]
