Production notes

A girl... a galaxy of chaos... and a cute little blue hamster! Bad things come in small packages!

Bounty Hamster is the adventures of a six-inch-high hamster called Marion- the meanest, toughest, roughest fluffy blue hamster in the universe! He's a fierce bounty hunter, or so he would have you believe. This walking attitude problem has a lot to prove. Call him if you're in trouble- but NEVER call him cute!

Marion is hired by Earth girl Cassie to find her missing father somewhere out there in the final frontiers of space- and that's when her troubles really begin! Her quest will never be easy with this explosive mix of a very big mouth and a very small brain by her side.

Our mismatched duo soon become a hilarious double act, speeding their way through a galaxy of wild adventures that are fast, funny and science-fictional.

This TV series ran on ITV1 from January 2003 until June 2004.
