There are conflicting views on the web over whether the first episode of the series and the pilot episode are one and the same. It is possible that there are two separate episodes.

Synopsis

Sara Brown lives in a toy hospital and one day an old man brings in a broken toy. Sara buys him and Mummy and Daddy mend him. His name is Hoppity and he was found in a goblin ring. This means that he is very naughty. Sara is given spinach for lunch and she does not want to eat it. Hoppity has an idea and poor Sara listens to him and gets into trouble.(Note: This episode is loosely based on the first Sara and Hoppity book). A pilot version of this episode is one of only two complete episodes of Sara and Hoppity known to still exist, and was released as an extra on the DVD set of Roberta Leigh's later production, Space Patrol in the early 2000s. (Note  the Blu-Ray version does not contain this extra.)
