Teddy Bear,
If I may be permitted to make a suggestion, stick with the books. The television cartoon series was a far cry from what Herge wrote. In one of the more bizarre characterizations, the detectives Thomson and Thompson were given cockney accents! Here were two detectives from Scotland Yard, properly attired in business suits, wearing Bowler hats, and out of their mouths came these shocking sounds!
No doubt someone one the production team was making a "statement", but the ironic humor Herge put into these characters was lost.
