Rupert Bear

Rupert's Wild Scooter Ride: Rupert is having great fun showing off his scooter riding skills to the rest of his friends. Always eager to be on the move he asks Ping Pong to use a spell to make his scooter go faster but the spell makes the scooter come to life and it runs away. Rupert and his friends all chase after the scooter, which has great fun sending them running all over Nutwood. Ping Pong tries to use her magic to stop the scooter but only ends up magicking herself up into a tree whilst Rupert and Bill use the information from Bill's Book of Facts to try and track the wild scooter like a wild animal. They eventually corner the bike and reverse the spell turning it back into a normal scooter. As Rupert tries it out again the bike suddenly rears up. His friends all gasp nervously but Rupert just giggles. The bike hasn't come to life once more, it's just Rupert demonstrating another daring stunt. He winks at the camera and waves goodbye to us. Undersea Adventure: Rupert shows the audience his special stone-with-a-hole before running off to play with Bill in Rocky Bay. Miranda the mermaid, on the lookout for a perfect pearl for her necklace, tries to take a pearl from a giant clam. To her amazement the clam slams shut and Miranda is trapped inside it. By sending air bubbles to the surface Miranda is able to call for help. Rupert is determined to rush to her rescue. Rupert persuades Ping Pong to use her magic to create giant bubbles into which they can climb. Using the bubbles as diving suits, Rupert and the others go to the seabed to rescue Miranda. Whilst the others divert the clam with comedy tricks Rupert creeps up behind the clam and shouts "Boo" in his ear. The clam opens his 'mouth' in surprise and Miranda shoots out. The clam explains that it was upset that Miranda had tried to steal his pearl. Miranda apologises to the Clam for taking something that doesn't belong to her. Rupert gives Miranda his special stone-with-a-hole before waving goodbye to the audience and setting off for home.

Rupert Builds a Nest: When Rupert and Ping Pong find a broken bird's nest, containing two eggs, which the Fox Twins have accidentally knocked out of a tree. The Mummy bird is frantic and the friends are determined to save the eggs. Rupert finds Raggety and asks him to magically rebuild the nest. Raggety is proud to be asked and scorns Ping Pong's offers of help, but his magic backfires and he turns the Fox Twins into birds by mistake. Rupert is quick to turn the mistake to their advantage and suggests that they encourage the Bird-like Fox Twins to rebuild the next. It is soon finished but the eggs are starting to hatch and Raggety can't remember the magic to return the nest to the tree. He becomes increasingly anxious. Rupert gently suggests that Ping Pong might be able to help and Raggety swallows his pride and asks her to step in. Ping Pong is thrilled to be asked and is immediately able to create some magic which lifts the nest up towards the worried Mummy bird. The eggs hatch just as the magic wears off and the Fox Twins return to normal. As the friends all laugh over their adventure, Rupert waves goodbye to us all. And the Stargirl: Rupert, Bill and Raggety meet Astra, a star child who has fallen to earth. They all are thrilled to meet this new friend and spend the day playing Hide and Seek in the forest, Off the Ground tag in the Treehouse and Racing Cars using Astra's 'twinkle' for extra zoom. As evening approaches Astra starts to worry that she won't be able to return to the starry sky as she's used up too much of her 'twinkle'. Raggety has a good idea and uses his magic to bring a moonbeam down to earth. Astra rises back up into the night sky on the moonbeam as Rupert and the others wave goodbye. As Rupert and Bill set off for home Rupert says goodbye to the audience and calls a farewell to Astra up in the starts.

Rupert and the Cloud Shepherd - Rupert, Ping Pong, Bill and Ming are amazed to discover strange fluffy, squeaky white shapes all over Nutwood. They realise that the shapes are clouds which must have somehow come to earth. They have great fun playing racing, bouncing and catching games with the clouds until one of them springs a leak. The Cloud Shepherd arrives and tells them that the clouds need to be returned up into the sky before they run out of rain. He points to a field slightly further away and explains that the clouds were due to rain on that field and help the crops grow but had sneaked away to play. Rupert realises that they must get the clouds back up into the sky but how? Ping Pong's magic can't work on the waterlogged clouds and time is running out. Clever Rupert has an idea. With the help of Edward and his sneeze-filled trunk, Rupert and the gang manage to return the clouds up to the sky. As everyone says goodbye to the very grateful Cloud Shepherd Rupert waves goodbye to us. Those clouds were fun!.../ Rupert and the Magic Carpet - Rupert and Edward are looking after Ming for the afternoon, by the Big Tree in the centre of Nutwood. Edward's been reading an exciting fairytale and wants to be a hero but thinks he's not brave enough. When Ming inadvertently gets stuck up the tree, Rupert, Ping Pong and Bill all attempt to rescue her but thanks to Edward's mistakes, they all get stuck too. Edward is very upset. Raggety arrives and has the clever idea to use magic to create a flying carpet. Edward, determined to put right his mistakes, overcomes his fears and, with the encouragement of Rupert, flies up rescue them. Safely back on the ground Rupert tells Edward that he's the bravest elephant he knows. As a blushing Edward is borne off towards home Rupert waves goodbye to the audience, telling us that a true hero is someone who's scared but does the right thing anyway.

Rupert's Cheeky Sneeze: Rupert has the sneezes and can't wait to get rid of them so he asks Ping Pong to magic them away, despite Bill's suggestions that this isn't a good idea. As Ping Pong does the spell Rupert has an enormous sneeze which somehow crosses over with the spell, setting the sneeze loose in Nutwood. The 'cheeky sneeze' has fun making everyone appear and disappear until Rupert realises what's happened and catches it. The friends walk through the forest looking for an ideal place to set the 'sneeze' free. Rupert finds the ideal place and the 'cheeky sneeze' is released in a little forest glade where other 'sneezes' welcome it. Everyone runs back home as Rupert waves goodbye, telling us that next time he won't be so impatient to get rid of his sneezes! And the Special Sandcastle: Rupert and the others have gone to Rocky Bay to play. They decide to make sandcastles and what started as a day at the beach turns into a competitive sandcastle competition. Miranda tries to warn everyone about the incoming tide and the fact that it will wash the sandcastles away but no one listens. The others ask Miranda to judge the sandcastle competition but feeling upset by everyone's refusal to pay attention and disliking being put on the spot Miranda returns to her home under the sea. The Rocky Bay lighthouse keeper agrees to judge the sandcastle competition but by then, as Miranda had predicted, the tide has washed the castles away. A contrite Rupert realises that they should have listened to their friend but he has an idea of how to make it up to her. Miranda returns to be presented with a beautifully decorated Mermaid Rock. Her friends crown her Queen of Rocky Bay as Rupert waves goodbye.

Rupert and the Magic Lantern - Rupert, Edward and Bill go camping. Rupert is excited at the idea of playing 'explorers' but Edward is apprehensive. As darkness falls the friends are frightened by strange shadows and noises. Although they don't realise it, the Fox Twins are playing jokes on them but the joke misfires when they too are frightened by a strange shadow. Soon everyone is bundled inside the tent, with Rupert bravely determined to find out what the strange noise and shadows could be. Ping Pong arrives with Ming and Rupert tells her about the 'Scary Thing'. Ping Pong laughs and leads them out of the tent towards the illuminated Chinese lantern hanging from the pagoda. Using her magic she reveals that the 'scary thing' is just a moth trapped in a lantern. As the others gratefully decide to pile into the Pagoda for hot chocolate drinks Rupert waves goodbye to us all, laughing that even explorers like to be safe indoors now and again.../ Rupert's Treasure Hunt - Whilst Rupert, Ping Pong, Bill and Ming enjoy an impromptu treasure hunt in Nutwood, Raggety is getting the wood tidy for the annual visit of the Spring Inspector. If it's not looking its best, Spring won't go ahead. Unfortunately, as Rupert and the others run through the woods looking for the treasure they are not paying attention to how their racing around is affecting the forest. Raggety is upset to see the flowers being trampled and the branches being broken. The Spring Inspector will never allow Spring to come with the wood looking like this! Rupert realises what a mess they're making and, apologising to Raggety, persuades everyone else to help Raggety by working together and using a special Raggety spell, the wood is tidied just as the Spring Inspector arrives. The inspection is passed and all the flowers blossom and bloom. Spring arrives. Raggety and the others cheer enthusiastically as Rupert waves goodbye.

Rupert Flies to Cheddar Moon - Rupert and his friends are having a sleepover. When the Fox Twins steal all the cheese sandwiches the friends wonder if they can find cheese somewhere else. Bill tells them that some people think the moon is made of cheese. Rupert suggests that Ping Pong uses her magic to turn his toy pedal car into a spaceship and they fly to the moon. They're amazed to meet the Man on the Moon who runs a cheese stall. He gives the friends a large cheese to take home. Rupert skilfully flies the Space car back to Nutwood, landing just in time. They meet the Fox Twins who have given themselves a stomach ache by eating too much of the stolen cheese. The contrite Fox twins apologise for stealing the cheese but Rupert tells them not to worry. He generously invites them to the sleepover but the twins decide to go home when Rupert tells them that the menu consists of cheese. As the Fox Twins run off for home, having had quite enough cheese for one day, Rupert laughs and waves goodbye to us all!.../ Rupert and the Giant Egg Race - Rupert is busy laying the trail for the Big Nutwood Race. Everyone is going to run the race and with extra skill, they have to balance an egg on a spoon. Ping Pong always comes first and is determined to win again. Raggety tries to make his tiny egg bigger but the magic spell goes wrong and inadvertently transforms Ping Pong into a giant egg. Rupert has a brilliant idea. Why don't they have the race using themselves as the Eggs? At Rupert's suggestion Ping Pong transforms everyone into giant eggs. Rupert decides that eggs this special should be decorated and the friends all enjoy themselves using natural colours from the brightly coloured flowers to give the eggs attractive patterns. At last the race can start. Everyone runs as fast as they can, laughing and giggling as they wobble into one another. The eggs are getting increasingly cracked and as the friends cross the finishing line together all the eggs fall apart. They all agree that they've had a really 'smashing' time! Ping Pong immediately starts to reconstruct her egg ready for next year's Big Race. Rupert winks to the camera. It looks like the Big Nutwood Race will never be the same again!
