HUMPHREY BEAR is an Australian children's television series, and its

fictional character namesake is an icon of Australian children's

television. Humphrey Bear first aired on Monday, 24 May 1965 on
Adelaide's Channel NWS9. The show became one of the most
successful programs for pre-school kids in Australia. The character of
Humphrey consists of a tall, shaggy honey-loving brown bear with a
large, round, shining, glossy black nose, straw boater hat, tartan waist-
coat and oversized yellow bow-tie. His TV show always features a
companion who assists and narrates Humphrey's various adventures
in the magic forest including his brightly coloured treehouse. This
Humphrey Bear toy that Alessandro Fava has brought with him today
to school was bought in 1993 (31 years ago) from Melbourne Australia
and is still in great condition for its age. Long live HUMPHREY BEAR!!!
