Polka Dot, Polka Dot, Polka Dot Shorts

I’m surprised when I asked around, not many people remembered Polka Dot Shorts. It’s a classic really. A tall green character that resembled a kangaroo, played with his friends Humpty, Dumpty, Marigold and Bear. Each episode had one or more of the characters experiencing a problem, and having to learn from it. There was always one point in the show where one or more of the characters would find a large pair of polka dot shorts and say the popular phrase,

“Polka Dot Shorts, a great big pair. How on earth did they get there?”

Each day's episode had a particular theme. For instance, Monday was "Treasure Day", Tuesday was "Dress-Up Day", Wednesday was "Animal Day", Thursday was "Imagination Day", and Friday was "Finding Out Day".
