Budgie the Little Helicopter

Budgie the Little Helicopter is a British series of children's books and animated television series relating to a fictional helicopter and his friends. The characters were based on the books by Sarah Ferguson. The show was co-produced by Fred Wolf Films Dublin, The Sleepy Kids Company and Sarah, Duchess of York for ITV Wales & West and Scottish Television Enterprises, and originally aired on British television in 1994 on CITV, where it ran for 39 episodes. A range of videos, books, and toys were released under the Budgie label. The show aired in the United States on FOX as part of the Fox Cubhouse programming block from 1995 to 1996, and moved to the Fox Family Channel in 1998. On release of the first book, the Duchess was accused by the media of copying the idea for the series from an out-of-print 1960 book Hector the Helicopter, by A.W. Baldwin, which she denied. The series is legally available on the Duchess' official YouTube channel. An North American dub of the series aired as part of the anthology series It's Itsy Bitsy Time on Fox Family (now Freeform).
