What British children's TV puppet show about a frumpy dog, a cat and a frog was originally called 'La Maison de Toutou'?

'Hector's House' is a children's television series using hand puppets. Like the better-known 'The Magic Roundabout' it was a French production (by Europe Images SA and Tellytales Enterprises) revoiced for a British audience.

A gentle series, it was first broadcast in 1965. Its French title was 'La Maison de Toutou' and the French version was written by Georges Croses. 'La Maison de Toutou' translates as "The House of the Doggie" and in the French version, Hector is known as Toutou. In the United Kingdom, it was first shown on the 9 September 1968 and the series of 78 episodes continued as a repeat cycle until 12 September 1975 for its 5-minute-long screenings on BBC 1 at 5:40 p.m. before the News.

The main characters, affable Hector the Dog and cute Zsazsa the Cat, live in a house and beautiful garden. Kiki the Frog, dressed in a pink smock, is a constant and at times an intrusive visitor, through her hole in the wall. Despite Hector's willingness to endlessly help them out, Kiki and Zsazsa often played tricks on him to teach him a lesson, leading him to say his catchphrase at the end of the episode, "I'm a Great Big [whatever he was] Old Hector."
