Hey!
Hello there, Tiddlers!
Here, you've arrived just in time, cos I'm off on an adventure.
Would you like to come too?
Ha, ha!
What's that? What are we going to be doing?
We're going to be building a...
I've got a better idea.
Why don't I let my friends tell you about the exciting things
they've got planned? Come on!
It's going to be very busy.
So, here we are in the countryside with my friends!
Hello there, Tiddlers! ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom! Hello!
Now, you've got something exciting planned for today, haven't you?
Building a den! We're going to be building a den?!
Fantastic! And whereabouts are we going to build this den, Eleanor?
We can build it in a special place.
That's right, cos you can't build a den just anywhere, can you? No.
Whereabouts could you build a den, Seth? Um, in your garden.
That's a good place. Where else, Vivan? Bedroom.
In your bedroom, yeah!
You need to choose just the right place, don't you?
But what could you build a den out of?
You could build it out of bed sheets.
Yeah, things that you've got lying around.
So what else could you build it out of, Seth?
Cushions and settees. Cushions, yeah.
Or out of chairs. Cos have you got chairs in your house?
ALL: Yeah! Yeah!
We need to use things that we've got. Yeah.
In my allotment I've got lots of carrots.
Could we build it out of carrots? No!
No?! A tepee of carrots. I think that'd be good. No!
It wouldn't be good because it won't stay up properly.
That's right, all the carrots'd come tumbling down.
Have you ever made a den at home?
Somewhere you can sit and play with your friends?
I think we could do with help deciding
what's best to build our den with.
Is there anyone we could ask, Tiddlers? Over there!
Ooh, you're right!
What type of animal do you think he might be? A wolf!
A wolf?! Wow!
I tell you what - why don't we head over here
until we know what he's up to? Come on, Tiddlers, let's go!
MUSIC: "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?"
TUMMY RUMBLES
Can you see what the wolf is doing? Itching.
HE SNIFFS I think you're right.
And he's looking for somewhere to stay.
Is he? He's doing lots of looking round, isn't he? Yeah.
Do you think that wolf could help us with our den?
Maybe if we help him, he'll help us.
Ah, yeah! One good deed deserves another, that's right.
Tiddlers, what animals can you see here?
Pigs.
Pigs! I think you're right, Seth.
And how many pigs have we got here, Vivan?
Three. Three little pigs.
And how do we know that they're pigs, Shruthi?
How can we tell they're pigs? They have windy tails
and they have ears like pigs.
That's right! And they're pink like pigs.
Ooh, can you see them wiggle their tails?
That's a bit funny, in't it? Yeah.
Ooh, and, Vivan, who's this over here?
Mummy Pig. Mummy Pig. Yes.
And what's she doing, Seth?
She's telling them to get off the floor.
How else do we know that they're pigs?
What can we see on them?
We can see their noses. Yeah, they've got pig snouts, haven't they?
Yeah. And can you see their ears? Yeah.
What's special about their ears?
They're pointing upwards. Yeah!
Ooh, and look, Mummy Pig's got something, here.
What do you think it might be? They're all lined up. Soap.
You think it might be soap? Do you think they need a wash?
I tell you, sometimes pigs get a bit mucky, don't they? Yes!
They may have money in their little bags.
Yeah, they got some pocket money.
Oh, and look, Mummy Pig's got something here.
Handkerchiefs.
What have they got there, Vivan?
An apple.
Ah! That's a snack for their trip.
I think they might be going on an adventure!
They might need a house. Maybe.
And look! Can you see? They've all got something with them.
I think they're taking their favourite things on their adventure.
One of them's got a skipping rope, and one of them's got a house.
Yeah. A toy house. A toy house, Vivan, that's right.
Have you got a favourite thing?
One of my favourite things is my hat.
I wear it everywhere I go.
What about you, Tiddlers? Have you got favourite things? Yeah!
What's your favourite thing, Seth? Teddies. Teddies, of course.
My toys. Oh, your toys, yeah.
My snow globe. Oh, very pretty.
And Vivan, have you got a favourite thing? My globe.
A globe of the world! So, those are your favourite things,
but do you have a favourite way to move?
Yeah. Those pigs were moving in a funny way. Skipping.
Skipping? I like a bit of skipping.
Hopscotching. Hopscotching?
Mine is running fast. Running fast, Vivan.
How about you, Shruthi? Leaf-jumping.
Please may we walk like the pigs?
You reckon we could move like the pigs? ALL: Yeah!
Yeah! So come on, up we get.
Let's be pigs. What do the pigs have behind them?
Tails. Tails, let's get our curly tails and give them a wiggle!
Ooh, yeah! Ooh, yeah! Ha, ha! Very good.
And they haven't got wellie boots on, have they?
No, they've got claws on. They've got trotters.
So, let's get our piggy trotters out. Here we go!
I wonder where those three little pigs have got to.
Shall we waddle off after them? Yeah. Let's wiggle and waddle.
While we do that, why don't you wiggle and waddle at home?
HE SNORTS Come on!
ALL SNORT
Can you see the little pigs?
Which way did they go, Eleanor?
That way. Right.
Well, this is a nice spot, Tiddlers, but I think we need somewhere
that's a little bit more sheltered for our den. Yeah.
I still can't see any of those little pigs,
can you see them anywhere? ALL: No. No.
Ooh, hey! Who have we got here? What animal's this?
BOING! BOING! A rabbit!
Yeah, you're right, Phoebe.
Hello there, Miss Rabbit.
ALL: Hello!
MR BLOOM CHUCKLES
Ooh, she's got good taste. I like this wheelbarrow.
It's a bit like mine. It's not like yours, Mr Bloom.
I think you're right, it's not like mine, is it?
Cos what's it got sticking out the middle? Umbrella.
A big umbrella. Mm-hm.
And she's not using it for gardening -
what is she using it for, James? Um, she might make a shop.
She might be using it as a shop.
What, to sell things? Yeah. Maybe something we can use for our den.
WATCH TICKS
Miss Rabbit, what are you selling?
Ooh, she's showing us, look. She's selling some straw.
That would be good for building.
Yes! It'd be nice and light. We could carry that. Sticks!
Sticks! Would they be good for building? Yeah!
Yeah, they would. Yeah!
What's the last thing we've got here? Bricks. Bricks.
Well, that's food for thought. Look, it's one of our little pigs!
Hey, Miss Rabbit, you've got a customer here.
Now, do you think this little pig wants to buy something
from the rabbit's shop?
Yeah. Yeah. Why might she want to buy something, Harriet?
Because she wants to build a house. She wants to build a house.
What's Miss Rabbit giving to the pig there, Phoebe?
Bricks. Bricks. Ooh, she wants the little pig to buy the bricks.
What's she got there, Eniola? Straw. Straw. Oh, and look!
COINS JINGLE
Giving the rabbit some money. So that's Straw Pig.
Ooh! And who's this here?
This little pig wants to buy something as well.
She's bought the sticks.
And who's this? Um...
The boy pig.
The boy pig, that's right, Harriet.
Do you think he wants to build a house as well, Phoebe?
Yeah. Yeah.
What do you think he could build his house out of, Eniola?
Bricks. Bricks, yeah!
That's all that's left.
And look, Phoebe, look.
He's being a very clever pig, because he's bought
Miss Rabbit's wheelbarrow, so he can carry those heavy bricks.
BOING! BOING!
Now she can walk with her umbrella!
Yeah. Bye-bye, Miss Rabbit! Bye-bye.
ALL: Bye!
WOLF HOWLS
TUMMY RUMBLES
HE SCRATCHES
Oh, well hasn't Straw Pig done a good job?
She's been very busy, and she's almost finished her house.
What do you reckon? Does it look good? ALL: Yes.
She's looking through the window! That's right!
She's got a lovely little window, hasn't she? Yes.
And what do you reckon to the door? It's good. It is.
And do you think that straw is the best thing
to use to build a house? ALL: No!
Why not? The storm will blow the house down.
But look. Now she's finished building, she can start playing.
And dance.
Yeah.
And if she's playing, I think it's high time we had our snacks.
Shall we get the snacks out? Yeah. Yeah! Come on.
Here we go. I'll give you a hand here, Phoebe.
The wolf is here! Oh, who's that, Phoebe? The wolf.
The wolf. Hey, Tiddlers, can you see who it is? Yeah, the wolf.
It's the wolf.
I think he's up to something,
do you reckon, Harriet? He's going to catch her. Really?
Oh, look! They're pretending to have a nice cup of tea.
That's nice.
Can you see his big wolf tail, Seth?
Yeah. Yeah. It's quite different to her tail, isn't it?
Yeah. What's the piggy tail like? It's curly-whirly.
And the wolf's tail is...? Um... It's long and bushy.
Long and bushy.
And soft. Yeah, it's soft.
I think this wolf might want to play a game
with little Straw Pig.
HE SNIFFS
What's he doing there, Seth?
Sniffing. He is, he's sniffing.
Ooh, look - maybe he wants to play football.
Do you think that'd be a good game?
Well, what other games might they want to play?
Spin around!
What are they doing there? Dancing.
Yeah, I think they're playing hopscotch.
Oh, she's giving him some tea, that's nice.
Having a snack.
Hee, hee!
Ooh, I know what game they're going to play -
it's a game called What's The Time, Mr Wolf?
The wolf wants Little Pig to give him a time
so that he can take that number of steps towards her.
And he wants to get there before she says, "Dinner time!"
So, let's count the steps that he takes.
Here we go.
ALL: One, two, three...
Ooh!
Ahh, well done, Little Pig.
Well done.
Yeah, she did well.
You know what?
I think it might be the wolf's turn now.
Hmm!
They're playing very nicely together, don't you think?
Yeah, but look what he's got.
What's he got, Harriet? A sack. A sack? Oh...
Yeah. To catch the pig.
OK. Well, let's help out Little Pig.
You be careful, Little Pig! One, two...
Ooh...
Hey, he HAS got a sack, hasn't he, Harriet?
Yeah. He's going to catch the pig!
Hey, you know what? He might be the Big Bad Wolf!
Oh, no! He IS the Big Bad Wolf!
Straw Pig!
The Big Bad Wolf wants to come inside your lovely straw house!
Tiddlers, look at this! He's going to huff and he's going to puff...
and he's going to... ALL: Blow your house down!
Wow!
Oh! What's he done, Harriet?
Caught her. He has! And he's put her in a... Sack!
In a sack!
Ooh!
Oh, and Tiddlers, look at this!
There's mess and straw everywhere.
What can we do about that?
ALL: Tidy up! That's right.
Come on, let's tidy up.
Let's tidy up!
Right. Let's get this all tidied up, eh, Tiddlers? Yeah.
Ha, ha! Now, where can we put all this straw?
In the wheelbarrow. So, bring it in here, lads.
Here we go.
Let's get this tidied up.
Wow! Woo!
Ha, ha!
What do you think - could we use this in our den?
ALL: Yeah!
For the floor. We could put it on the floor.
I'll just bring it round here a little bit. To make a rug. Yeah!
Now, can you put some in here?
Do you reckon? Here we go, Phoebe. I'll pass you some.
And did you know that people have used straw for hundreds of years?
Yeah, they've used it for all sorts of things.
Things like, well, making their beds,
or making roofs on their houses.
And some people even use it to make straw hats.
Well, we've got this place looking a bit tidier.
Now I think we should go and find Straw Pig. Yeah.
Did you see which way she went? ALL: That way!
Right, well, let's go find her!
My word, Margaret, this is an unusual garden. I know, Joan.
I think it belongs to these lovely gnomes I've just met.
Oh, no, dear, no.
It belongs to Stick Pig, and she's just finished building her house.
Look.
Hello, there, veggies.
Oh, this is a nice surprise.
What are you up to? Hello, Mr Bloom. We thought we could help Stick Pig.
You see, she's planting her first garden here
beside her brand-new house. Ooh.
Yes, we thought we should tell her the best time to plant flowers,
as well as how to look after her vegetables.
Aww, well, that's a lovely idea, Margaret.
What are you going to plant first?
Well, I thought carrots would be nice,
so the Tiddlers are planting some carrot seeds.
They've raked the soil and have put their seeds in.
And now they're ready to cover them with even more lovely soil.
Oh, yes! And then the best bit comes.
The Tiddlers can water the seeds.
Ho, ho! That's my favourite thing.
Only if it doesn't rain, Margaret.
Hmm, anyway,
it looks like Stick Pig needs more than just our help with her garden.
I mean to say, who makes a house from sticks?
Oh, I don't know.
I think it looks like a lovely house,
don't you think, Margaret? Yes, it does!
No, no, no. I think sticks are much better for games.
SHE GASPS Pick-up sticks, that's me favourite.
I'll see if Stick Pig has any left over from building her house.
Ooh, yes.
Mr Bloom, I like painting sticks. Look at this one.
Isn't it pretty?
Yeah! It's lovely.
I tell you what, Margaret, it's almost as pretty as that plant.
Oh! Yeah, that plant the Stick Pig's got in that plant pot.
Here, speaking of which, I think I'll give it a water.
Oh, and I'll find some more lovely sticks to paint.
All right. Bye-bye. Bye-bye, Mr Bloom.
Sticks...
Hello, Stick Pig!
There we go. Job done.
Eh, hello there, Tiddlers! How are you doing?
What have you been up to?
ALL: We've been planting carrot seeds.
You've been planting carrot seeds, have you?
And James, did you make sure that you watered them? Yeah. Good lad.
This is the Big Bad Wolf, as well.
Ooh, you're right, there, Eleanor.
It IS the Big Bad Wolf, as well.
Oh, dear. I think we need to warn Stick Pig. Can we warn her?
Let's shout out, "Watch out for the Big Bad Wolf!"
ALL: Watch out for the Big Bad Wolf!
WATER SPRAYS
HE WHIMPERS
The Big Bad Wolf's got up again.
What's he doing now? He's looking for the pig.
I tell you what, why don't we tell Stick Pig where Straw Pig is?
Can we shout out to her?
Stick Pig! ALL: Stick Pig!
Straw Pig's over there in the sack! Straw Pig's over there!
ALL: Stick Pig! Straw Pig's over there!
That's right!
Well done, Tiddlers.
I think that Straw Pig can tell Stick Pig
all about the Big Bad Wolf.
JOAN: Margaret, how many gnomes did you meet?
Two. I'm sure I met two.
I can see three gnomes. Yes, definitely three.
But there's something different about that other gnome.
Well, he's a little bit taller. Ooh! And look, he has a tail.
Mr Bloom! Tiddlers! It's the Big Bad Wolf again!
ALL: It's the Big Bad Wolf!
Watch out, little pigs!
Wow. They've escaped into the stick house, haven't they?
Oh, no, here we go again.
You know what's going to happen, Tiddlers?
He's going to huff... ALL: And he's going to puff,
and he's going to blow the house down!
Run away, little pigs, run away!
Run away!
Ooh, dear.
I hope they get away.
But look at all this mess!
Eh, it's more for us to tidy up, so come on, Tiddlers.
Right, then, Tiddlers,
let's get these sticks in me wheelbarrow.
Did you know lots of people live in wooden houses?
Yeah, they can be very warm and cosy.
What do you think we could use these sticks for? Any ideas?
ALL: Building a den!
Eh, that's what I was thinking!
We could use them to build our den.
Build a door in the den! A door, OK. Or windows!
Or windows, yeah, we could build a nice little fence.
We could even give some to Joan
so she could play pick-up sticks, what do you reckon to that? Yeah.
Hey, hello there, little pigs. What's the matter?
Ooh! Tiddlers, it's the Big Bad Wolf!
Let's hide the pigs.
Oh, no, no, Mr Wolf, I haven't seen the little pigs anywhere.
Bye! Bye-bye, bye!
Come on, Tiddlers, let's follow the little pigs!
Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh...
Wait for me, wait for me!
Wow!
Oh, hello, Brick Pig! ALL: Hello, Brick Pig!
Hey, look, Tiddlers - Brick Pig's finished his house.
What do you reckon? It's just like his toy one.
You're right there, Seth.
It's made of bricks, so the wolf can't puff it.
That's right. Let's get a better view from down here. Come on!
Hey, do you think Brick Pig's feeling happy? Yeah.
Cos he's built his house, he's got it finished, hasn't he, Vivan? Yeah.
And he likes to dance a little bit. He does.
Every pig wants to dance when they finish their house. Yeah.
When you feel happy, sometimes you just want to dance.
THEY LAUGH
They're great dancers.
Now, do you think this house - might it fall down easy...? ALL: No!
..or will it be strong? Strong!
- Really super duper strong! - It will be strong.
Here's Stick Pig.
You know what that means? It means she's escaped from... The wolf!
The wolf, the Big Bad Wolf.
Oh, look, it's Straw Pig, as well.
Hey, that's good, isn't it?
That means the wolf's coming. Where are they going to hide?
In the house. In the house. They'll be safe.
Ooh, come on, Tiddlers, quick! Let's go in there!
In we go.
Ooh!
WOLF HUFFS AND PUFFS
HE PANTS
WOLF HOWLS
Hey, this is nice and comfy, isn't it? Yeah.
Yeah! I don't think the Big Bad Wolf's going to get in here, do you?
Because he's not strong enough. He's not strong enough.
He couldn't blow this house down, could he, Vivan?
No, cos it's made out of bricks. Yeah, bricks are strong!
I think Brick Pig's got a plan
cos, look, they're worried about the wolf coming.
What's he got down there, Seth? A washing basket.
Oh, they're going to catch the wolf with the washing basket.
Wow, do you think they can do it? ALL: Yeah!
MR BLOOM GASPS
Hey! Wow, what have they done?
They've let the wolf in, Vivan.
TIDDLERS CHUCKLE
Ha, ha! WATER SPRAYS
Oh, what did she do there, Shruthi? Spray. Ha, ha!
What have they tied him up in?
Rope.
And now they're making him dizzy.
Whoa!
Aah! Ha, ha, ha!
Oh, no, what's happened to the wolf, Seth?
He's fallen into the washing basket. He has!
What does it look like to you, Harriet? A tortoise!
A very funny tortoise.
DOOR CREAKS
Oh, hang about. Who's this?
Who's turned up, Vivan? Mummy Pig.
Mummy Pig. Ooh, I think she looks a bit cross.
Yeah.
Aah! Ha, ha, ha!
Oh! What did she do there, Seth?
Um, she chucked him out of the house.
I don't think we'll be seeing the Big Bad Wolf any time soon.
ALL: Yeah!
Do you want to go outside now? You want to go outside?
ALL: Yeah. Oh, that sounds like a fine idea to me.
Come on, let's go.
Hey, this den's coming on brilliant, isn't it?
Oh, well done with the pillows there, James.
Now, shall we hang this up here? Yeah.
Here we go. We'll take a blue peg.
How about this one, Mr Bloom?
Oh, this purple one here?
Very nice.
There we go. Well done with the straw, there.
How are you getting on? Are you OK, Eniola? Yeah.
Very good. So, we're putting straw on the floor.
And what are you up to over there, Eleanor?
Gardening. Gardening. Hey, now that's an important part.
I think you've done a cracking job, Tiddlers.
Here, what do you reckon, Phoebe? Is it looking nice and comfy?
Yeah? Oh, and look who it is! Who is it, Eleanor?
The pigs. It's the pigs!
It's the three little pigs, and who else is there?
Mummy Pig. The mummy pig.
That's right, Phoebe.
Aww.
You know what? I think these little pigs like our den.
What do you reckon, James? I think they do.
I think you're right there.
Ahh, look, they've got their house, we've got ours here.
Oh, thank you, little pigs! Thank you, little pigs!
Let's all say thank you. ALL: Thank you!
ENIOLA: ..little pigs!
Ahh. Shall we give them a wave and say goodbye?
ALL: Bye!
Well, that was quite an adventure.
Oh, hello, Mr Bloom. Hello. We've had a very exciting day.
Oh, you're right, there, veggies. We've had a great day.
I like the pigs' new brick house.
Do you think I could help with their new garden?
Yeah, I'm sure they'd love that. Oh, me too, please, me too! Yeah!
And you too, Margaret.
But right now it's time for us to go.
Oh... But join us again soon for another adventure.
Now, what do you reckon?
Do you think Compo might like all these leftover bits and pieces
of straw and sticks? Oh, yes! I think you're right.
We'll see you again soon!
POP!
