Sara and Hoppity is a British children's puppet television series created and produced by Roberta Leigh that aired for one year in the early 1960s. It was based on a series of four books written by Leigh and illustrated by Marion Wilson. The series follows a young girl, Sarah Brown, who comes into possession of Hoppity, a mysterious puppet who causes her to misbehave when he sings a special tune. The series was first aired in February 1962, and ran until February of the following year. Most of this series is lost, but the first episode has survived.
The show was produced by Roberta Leigh and directed by Arthur Provis. Unlike some similar puppet shows of the time, the puppet strings were all but invisible.
