What happens

Kõige Suurem Sõber (Estonian for The Biggest Friend) was a long-running children's TV show on Estonian Television in the early 1980s. It featured a big orange furry creature called Leopold (played by Harry Kõrvits) and a host of other more or less recurring characters, and is for many Estonians a symbol of childhood and/or children's TV. Unfortunately, most of the magnetic video tapes used for storage of the show have been recycled due to the perestroika-era deficits. However, a small number of the episodes have remained, and are now available from ETV on both VHS and DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
