Andy Pandy

Andy Pandy was a pre-school children's television character from 1950 to 1970.

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.
