Andy Pandy

Andy Pandy was a children's television character.

History
Andy's style of dress closely matched Sarah Jane Smith's own when she was hospitalised after she and the Fourth Doctor were caught in a blasting explosion at a quarry.

When Doctor Carter reported her theft of Eldrad's hand, his description of Sarah — "a dark-haired young woman wearing some pink striped overalls" — was likened to Andy Pandy by the receptionist he telephoned, to which Carter confirmed "Yes, like Andy Pandy." (TV: The Hand of Fear)

Bryony Mailer was also reminded of Andy Pandy when she saw the overalls in the TARDIS. (PROSE: The Drosten's Curse)

Behind the scenes

 * At a young age, Sadie Miller wore a child-sized replica of the costume when she appeared alongside her mother in the documentary More than 30 Years in the TARDIS.
 * Doctor Carter's reference to Andy Pandy in The Hand of Fear part one was an unscripted ad-lib by Glyn Houston. This does not appear in Terrance Dicks's novelisation of the story.
