In the 1970s I remember watching a programme on BBC1 called "Barnaby Bear". The series was about a small bear who wanted to sing and travel round the world, and it was on early on Sunday morning the last time I remember it being shown.
The series was originally a French story called "Colargol" - which was made by Polish animators.
"Barnaby" is largely forgotten now, and rarely seems to appear in lists of favourite old childrens programmes, which is a shame.

Here's some episodes on youtube that were never dubbed into English and were never shown on BBC tv:
