This series of ten short black and white programme segments showing Robert Harbin's hands folding paper were broadcast on BBC television in 1954/5 as part of the children's magazine programme 'Jigsaw'. In addition to making these segments, Robert Harbin was also one of the presenters of 'Jigsaw', along with his puppet 'Fuzz'.

The broadcast dates and times were:

Sunday 12th December 1954

Saturday 15th January 1955

Saturday 29th January 1955

Saturday 12th February 1955

Saturday 26th February 1955

Saturday 12th March 1955

Saturday 26th March 1955

Saturday 9th April 1955

Saturday 23rd April 1955

Saturday 7th May 1955

Unfortunately these programmes / programme segments appear to be lost and I have not managed to discover which designs were featured in them.

According to the Wikipedia entry for David Lister, 'Lister was interested in Origami since he was young, but took it up in earnest in 1955 after seeing Robert Harbin on television in the children’s show 'Mr Left and Mr Right.')
