[2] Following its first airing from September 3, 1962 to August 26, 1963 as part of The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series, Touché Turtle and Dum Dum was later repeated several times on the BBC in the United Kingdom as a standalone show during the 1970s and 1980s, and then part of the Children's BBC service in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Touché had adventures in the Old West and in the Middle Ages, as well as battling villains during the modern era of the 1960s.

A running gag in nearly every episode showed him keeping a telephone inside his shell, and it would ring at inopportune moments when someone called for help.

The first episode, "Whale of a Tale", is available on the DVD Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960's Vol.

“Rapid Rabbit” is available on DVD on disc 2 of The Best of Warner Bros.: Hanna-Barbera 25 Cartoon Collection.
