Описание: 🍏 Pipkins – Season 14, Episode 9: “Halves”
First broadcast on 11 November 1980, this charming Pipkins episode explores the sometimes‑tricky art of sharing. When Hartley Hare decides that some things—like an apple—can be split easily between friends, he’s feeling rather pleased with himself. But his confidence is tested when he’s faced with a far more puzzling challenge: how on earth do you cut custard in half?
As Hartley wrestles with this sticky problem, Pig, Tortoise, and the rest of the gang offer their own “helpful” suggestions, leading to a series of comical experiments and gentle bickering. The episode blends slapstick humour with a subtle life lesson about fairness, problem‑solving, and thinking creatively when faced with an unusual dilemma.
With its mix of playful banter, colourful characters, and a relatable theme, “Halves” captures the warmth and wit that made Pipkins a staple of British children’s television. It’s a perfect example of how the show could take an everyday idea and turn it into a funny, engaging, and quietly educational story. For nostalgic fans, it’s a sweet reminder of Hartley’s “brilliant” schemes; for newcomers, it’s a delightful introduction to the quirky charm of the Pipkins world
