00:00Today, Rupert discovers that PC Growler can sing, but the policeman is not pleased at
00:12all in Rupert and the Singing Birdseed.
00:30There's a million stories to be told of the things that he's done, and he's gonna share them all with you, so come along.
00:44Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name. Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
00:58In all of his game.
01:06Rupert looks up.
01:08Oh, Mummy, look, there's a pigeon tapping at the window. He must be hungry.
01:14Well, give him some of our birdseed, but don't use it all up in one go, dear.
01:20Oh, good, thanks, Mummy.
01:22And the little bear hurries out into the garden.
01:26Rrrr, chants the pigeon softly, pecking busily at the birdseed.
01:32The crow flies down.
01:34Rrrr, rrrr, he croaks, meaning to say he's hungry too.
01:40Rupert laughs.
01:42All right, all right. There's plenty here for both of you.
01:46Good morning, me dear. You're the very person I be looking for, says Gypsy Granny, hobbling up the garden path.
01:52Hello, Gypsy Granny, and I can guess why. You want me to go shopping for you, chackles Rupert, pointing at her basket.
02:02Gypsy Granny laughs.
02:04That be correct, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, if you would, me dear, to save me poor old legs.
02:10Why, of course, says Rupert kindly. Here's the basket then, me dear. You'll find the list and the purse inside.
02:17Rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, cries the crow greedily.
02:22Oh, goodness me, what a noise, exclaims Gypsy Granny.
02:26Rrrr, I know what'll fix ee. I shall make that there birdseed of yours extra special.
02:32Especially for ee, Rupert, me dear.
02:35Oh, thank you, but what...
02:37Rrrr, now you just wait and see.
02:39Hello, Gypsy Granny, calls Mrs. Bear. Come and join me in a cup of tea.
02:45Why, thank you, my dear. I will that.
02:48I won't be long, says Rupert, as he climbs into his chariot. Bye.
02:55When Rupert returns with the shopping, he's surprised to hear the most beautiful bird song he's ever heard.
03:07But there are only two birds in the garden, the crow and the pigeon.
03:13That be the birdseed, that be, chuckles Gypsy Granny. Real special, see.
03:20Oh, thank you, says the delighted little bear.
03:24Oh, it's beautiful, sighs Mrs. Bear.
03:28I shall bring my sewing out into the garden. Their singing is much better than the radio.
03:34Goodbye, Gypsy Granny, and thanks.
03:37Goodbye, my dear, calls Gypsy Granny as she goes towards the gate.
03:42Why, hello, young Pudgy, she adds as Pudgy trots into the garden.
03:47Hello.
03:48Oh, where's that beautiful bird song coming from, he asks, looking round, surprised.
03:57It can't be that pigeon and the crow.
04:00But it is.
04:02Rupert waves the packet of birdseed.
04:04Gypsy Granny made it special.
04:07I know.
04:08Let's take the rest of the birdseed onto the common, and we can make all the birds in Nutwood sing, cries Pudgy excitedly.
04:16All right, get in, says Rupert, jumping into the chariot.
04:21Goodbye, calls Mrs. Bear cheerfully as the pair take off.
04:26Whizzity whizz, it's windy all of a sudden, exclaims Rupert, as a sudden gust shakes the chariot.
04:33Mind the birdseed.
04:35I'm afraid some blew away, says Pudgy, holding it tight.
04:40The birdseed is blown along.
04:45Down the high street, into P.C. Growler's cup of tea.
04:52P.C. Growler sighs.
04:55Oh, well, it's time I was back on duty.
05:00And he goes out into the high street, and starts to sing.
05:06Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Something's gone wrong. Only just latterly morning to you, Mr. Bear.
05:19Mr. Growler. Mr. Bear is surprised.
05:24I really and truly cannot stop singing. Although my ears are ringing and ringing. What has gone wrong? I really can't say. Oh, help me do, Mr. Bear.
05:38You'd better come home with me and try some of Mrs. Bear's cup mixture.
05:43Which doesn't help at all. In fact, it makes P.C. Growler sing even louder.
05:48Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Who's that? Asks Pudgy, as he and Rupert fly towards the cottage.
05:57It sounds like P.C. Growler, says Rupert, puzzled. It's his. Good morning to you, Rupert.
06:05Oh, wizardy whiz, cries Rupert alarmed. You must have swallowed some of Gypsy Granny's birdseed.
06:13Because some did blow away, adds Pudgy. Well, you must take him to see Gypsy Granny right away.
06:20Oh, dear, dear, what an odd thing to happen, she chuckles as P.C. Growler sings her his troubles.
06:26I really and truly cannot stop singing, although my ears are ringing and ringing. Please help me, Granny dear.
06:38You must go to the little spring on the common and drink a glass of its water and you'll be as right as rain, she tells him.
06:45Take this with you. I'll save time, she adds, holding up a glass.
06:50Oh, exclaims Rupert, dismayed, as they land beside the spring.
06:56Oh, Rupert, what can the matter be?
07:00Look, the spring's almost dried up completely and I can't fill the glass.
07:05Poor P.C. Growler sinks down in despair and sits quietly and sadly singing to himself.
07:14Oh, dear.
07:16While Rupert looks around to see what can be done.
07:19Oh, dear, what an odd thing to do.
07:20Suddenly, a large yellow sou'wester lands beside P.C. Growler and Drizzle climbs out.
07:27I fear.
07:28Demi has deceived me or is that a policeman singing? He asks.
07:32Yes, something's gone wrong only just latterly and that is the reason I'm here.
07:39Drizzle is not in the least sympathetic.
07:43It's not funny, Drizzle. He's on duty.
07:48And he tells Drizzle all about it.
07:51Oh, I can fix that. Just leave everything to me and stand well back, he commands.
08:01P.C. Growler blinks as the sou'wester shrinks.
08:05Drizzle pulls it firmly onto his head and starts to dance.
08:09Poor P.C. Growler is most indignant.
08:12This is no joke. It's a real calamity.
08:15I shall be singing from Monday to Saturday if I remain standing here.
08:20Don't you worry me, old canary. This is yours truly's rain dance.
08:24It works too, don't it?
08:26And Drizzle continues dancing.
08:28Oh, look.
08:30Rupert points up at a cloud which has suddenly appeared above Drizzle's head.
08:35And the rain simply pours down on and around Drizzle.
08:42Come on me beauty, he cries happily splashing about in the rain, which stops as suddenly as it had started.
08:48Rupert runs to the spring which is now bubbling merrily out of the ground.
08:53Here you are, Mr. Growler, he cries, holding up the glass full of water.
08:58And P.C. Growler stops singing.
09:01Oh, thank you, Rupert, and thank you too, Drizzle, he says gratefully.
09:06Don't mention it any time, says Drizzle cheerfully as he removes his sou'wester.
09:11Can I give you a lift?
09:13Oh yes, I must get back, I'm on duty, but what in?
09:18In my sou'wester of course, says Drizzle.
09:22P.C. Growler stares.
09:25We can't get into that!
09:28Rupert giggles as the astonished policeman climbs into the now enormous sou'wester beside Drizzle.
09:38Goodbye!
09:39Rupert waves cheerfully as he too takes off for home.
09:52I'm glad Mr. Growler is all right now, chuckles Mrs. Bear.
09:57I thought we could have lunch in the garden, she adds, and listen to the beautiful bird song.
10:03Mr. Growler sang very well too, says Mr. Bear thoughtfully.
10:07I shall ask him to sing at our next concert.
10:10Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do.
10:16Oh no, not again, laughs Rupert.
10:20Rupert, Rupert the bell, everyone sing his name. Rupert, Rupert the bell, everyone come and join.
10:35In all of his games. Rupert, Rupert the bell, everyone come and join. In all of his games. Rupert, Rupert the bell, everyone come and join. In all of his games.
