'Andy Pandy' puppet up for grabs

An original puppet from children's TV show Andy Pandy is reportedly going under the hammer.

Teddy, who lived with Andy and rag doll Looby Loo in the same basket, is expected to fetch between £3,000 and £5,000 when it is auctioned at Bonhams in Knightsbridge on May 19.

The fully-strung puppet is owned by Antiques Roadshow expert Paul Atterbury, who inherited the bear from his mother, who worked on the show.

The original version of the programme premiered on the BBC in 1950 under the For The Children strand.
