When I was a kid, I always loved reading the picture books, and then they turned them into a TV series on CITV. This was actually a quite good book-based cartoon. Wally is a guy in a red and white fleece with a dog dressed the same. Basically, every episode, whenever he felt like it (which was obviously all the time), he would take his magic walking stick and create a vortex that would transport him to another world—like the Stone Age, a spooky place, under the sea, the jungle, etc. Wizard Whitebeard would be around to see how he was using the walking stick or how he was doing on his adventure, and the villain (I can’t remember his name) in the yellow and black fleece would always try to steal the walking stick. But the main part of the show (hence the title) was when the audience at home had to spot Wally in a freeze frame (because he disappears for some reason), just like in the books. Very good!
