Flap Platypus is Blinky's most devoted friend. He is kind of the funny sidekick who's not too bright, but not a complete idiot, either. Always friendly and well-meaning. He sometimes trips over Splodge, Marcia, Shifty Dingo, Nutsy and Blinky Bill his own words or his webbed feet. He is also a bit dense and tends to misunderstand or misinterpret situations. He is a big eater. In Series 3, he was normally called 'duck' by international characters and hates it usually lashing out. His voice is based off the Looney tunes character Daffy Duck, but with an Australian accent. He is called dummy by Marcia a lot.

The Adventures of Blinky Bill[]

Flap appears in all episodes (in the first episode who is shown as one of Blinky's classmates but he doesn't speak there).

Season 1[]

Flap's first big role is in 'Blinky Bill's Fire Brigade', where he 'Blinky Rescues the Budgie', is one of Blinky's gang members. He is not bright and Danny Dingo frequently takes advantage: in the episode 'Blinky Breaks the Drought', Flap dug a swimming pool for Danny. In the episode 'Blinky Bill's Gold Mine', Flap was digging a mine for Blinky and then (after Blinky sold the mine to Danny and didn't tell him) for Danny.

Season 2[]

Flap and the other members of the gang are lost and they try to find their way home. When Blinky's gang arrive at the farm Flap is captured by the robotic dog. In the episode 'Blinky Bill and the Lighthouse', Flap befriends Suki Suki and later rescues him. Flap found a cuckoo egg and the gang try to find a home in the episode 'Blinky and the Egg Rescue'.

Season 3[]

Flap, Blinky and Nutsy fly around the world with circus animals.

He got a bigger role in the episode 'Flap's New Family' when Flap takes care of the little penguin.

In the next episode 'A Stitch in Time', it is a flashback. Nutsy tells the story of how Blinky and Flap go into the mine.

When Blinky arrives to China in the episode 'Operation Free Flap', Flap got into households of the human boy Hugh Hugh.

Blinky Bill's White Christmas[]
