Le Docteur Snuggles vit dans la forêt au milieu de ses amis animaux qui parlent, comme Mathilde Cache-Bidon, Denis le Blaireau, Mademoiselle Nette… Le monde dans lequel vit le Docteur est à son image : il est excentrique et fantastique, un monde où l’imagination n’a pas de limite et devient réalité. Ce cher Docteur est un inventeur de génie dont l’esprit regorge d’idée ! Ainsi, il peut fabriquer des robots, des drôles d’appareils, mais aussi des fusées à partir de bois. Mais de par sa grande intelligence et de son originalité, le Docteur Snuggles attire également la jalousie d’autrui… La série ne compte que 13 épisodes, mais chaque épisode avait une durée de 25 minutes environ. Comme c’est assez long, pour faire durer le plaisir, sur TF1 un épisode était diffusé à coups de 5-10 minutes environ à la fois. C’est pourquoi on a peut-être l’impression qu’il y avait plus d’épisodes que ça, mais en fait, ce n’est pas le cas.

Hannay was a 1988 spin-off from the 1978 film version of John Buchan's novel The Thirty-Nine Steps which had starred Robert Powell as Richard Hannay. In the series, Powell reprised the role of Hannay, an Edwardian mining engineer from Rhodesia of Scottish origin. It features his adventures in pre-World War I Great Britain. These stories had little in common with John Buchan's novels about the character, although some character names are taken from his other novels. There were two series, the first with six episodes, the second with seven. The combined 13 episodes ran for a total of 652 minutes. One episode, A Point of Honour, was based on a story of the same name by Dornford Yates that appeared in his 1914 book The Brother of Daphne, although Yates was not credited. Another episode used a plot device from the Leslie Charteris Saint story The Unblemished Bootlegger, from the 1933 book The Brighter Buccaneer, again uncredited.
