Toonhound - The Little Green Man

   Sydney Keets is a lucky lad. He's best friends with a Little Green Man from
   outer space, whom he calls 'Greenie'. He's also friends with Greenie's buddy
   Zoom-Zoom, a hovering yellow ball of electricty. Greenie and Zoom-Zoom
   landed their spaceship in Sydney's back garden one day, and their interstellar
   friendship was born...

   Greenie likes to gabble and run words together, so he refers to Sydney as
   'Skeets'. He wants Sydney to teach him and Zoom-Zoom about the world,
   which he's more-than happy to do. The twist is, Greenie and Zoom-Zoom
   are actually invisible to everyone else but Sydney, which opens the door
   to much confusion and diversion...

   A shoestring production, certainly, with restricted animation but The Little
   Green Man overcomes its financial restraints thanks in the main to an
   inspired gabbling voice-over from the late Jon Pertwee, who of course
   excelled at that kind of thing (witness Worzel Gummidge...)
