There was a second English dub under the title "Friends of the Green Forest" which aired on the TVOKids on TVOntario in the 1990s. In the United Kingdom, the original transmission of the series as aforementioned on the ITV network was cut short, with only the first 30 episodes being broadcast in 1982, because the series was dropped due to the introduction of the  Childrens ITV service in January 1983 taking over the series' former timeslot. Some of the other episodes were then later subsequently broadcast sporadically in the UK on the "Early Morning" weekend segment on Channel 4 in the early 1990s Synopsis. The series consists of the adventures of Johnny (or: Rocky), a woodchuck, and his mate Polly in the Green Forest. They make a lot of friends among their neighbours, and everyone works together to avoid the attacks of the different predators that put them in danger, such as man, the weasel, and the fox.
