Hammy Hamster was part of the TV show “Tales Of The Riverbank” created by 2 Canadian CBC editors, but was turned down by CBC. Later picked up by BBC in the UK, it was filmed at Cothy Butts near Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight....overdubbed with a different narrator for N.America. 
At the end of filming the series in 1973, the cast of animals were released into the wild where it was filmed. The hamsters & rodents died not long after release, but the Mongolian Gerbils survived for at least three years, the colony reaching c. 100 individuals by this time.
