00:00Today, Rupert goes on a treasure hunt, and finds Mr. Grimnasty in Rupert and the Croc of Gold.
00:16There's a little bear that you've never seen before, who's a lot of fun.
00:23Children everywhere, go to love him more and more, he's the number one.
00:30There's a million stories to be told of the things that he's done, and he's going to share them all with you, so come along.
00:44Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name.
00:51Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
00:57Rupert, Rupert, Bill's here, calls Mrs. Bear.
01:15Come quick, look, there's a rainbow, shouts Bill excitedly.
01:20Oh, isn't it beautiful, says Mrs. Bear, looking up.
01:24Did you know that in the olden days, people used to believe that there was a Croc of Gold buried at the end of every rainbow?
01:30Wizardy-whiz, exclaims Rupert.
01:34Come on, Bill, let's go and find it.
01:37Mummy, can we borrow the spades?
01:39All right, but mind you bring them back, and good luck with your treasure hunt.
01:43Bye, shout Rupert and Bill cheerfully as they shoulder their spades.
01:50Goodbye.
01:50I can see it, I can see where it ends, shouts Bill.
01:58Look, right by that bush.
02:01But by the time they reach it, the rainbow has faded completely away.
02:06It ended just here, says Bill firmly, and he starts to dig.
02:10Hello, says Podgey, hurrying up.
02:14What are you doing?
02:16We're digging for the Croc of Gold, pants Rupert.
02:22Dig, dig, dig, dig, Rupert and Bill, for digging is fun if you dig with a will.
02:28They dig with a will and with all of their might, and Podgey sees them slowly sink out of sight.
02:35Earth flies up and spatters all around, as they dig deeper into the ground.
02:42Podgey peers down into the hole, just as there's a rumbling sound,
02:46and the earth suddenly gives way beneath Rupert and Bill.
02:50Look out!
02:54Rupert and Bill scramble to their feet.
02:57Wizardy whiz, look, exclaims Rupert, pointing at the neat shelves that surround them.
03:05Podgey excitedly jumps down into the hole.
03:08Yum, yum, he cries happily, picking up a pot of blackberry jam.
03:13This is much nicer than a Croc of Gold.
03:18What's that?
03:20Rupert looks round, astonished as some of the earth is pushed to one side,
03:25as the door opens in the side of the hole.
03:30Why, Mr. Grimnasty?
03:32Well, well.
03:36And for once, Mr. Grimnasty is speechless.
03:40Podgey has a horrible feeling that something is wrong somewhere.
03:45We found this, he says, trying to wipe the jam off his chin,
03:49instead of a Croc of Gold.
03:51Mr. Grimnasty isn't listening.
03:53My storeroom, my beautiful storeroom ruined, and my jam stolen.
04:01But, but, but, stutters poor Podgey.
04:05Oh, we didn't mean to.
04:06We were looking for the Croc of Gold at the end of the rainbow, and, and...
04:10That's enough, Rupert, not another word.
04:12I'm going to see Constable Growler about this.
04:14Mr. Grimnasty is so angry, that neither Rupert, nor Bill, nor Podgey wait to hear any more.
04:23Mr. Grimnasty looks round him, and starts to think.
04:28Now, if this is the end of the rainbow, and if there was a Croc of Gold, he mutters,
04:34that gold would be mine, mine.
04:38I'm rich, he chuckles, I'm rich.
04:42Now, where's the spade?
04:44Ah, and he begins to dig, and dig, and dig.
04:51Raggety wanders into the storeroom, looking for his mid-morning snack of wood shavings.
04:55Come on, there's another spade, and you can dig too.
04:58What for? Another storeroom?
05:01No, no, a Croc of Gold.
05:04Oh, you can't eat gold.
05:06It's not for eating, it's for spending.
05:09Come on, dig.
05:11For Mr. Grimnasty has gold fever.
05:15Ah, what's this?
05:17Mr. Grimnasty stoops down.
05:20Why, it's my Croc of Gold, he cries delightedly.
05:24And there are three of them.
05:28Mr. Grimnasty can hardly believe his eyes.
05:31He's so excited that he holds his breath as he slowly and carefully removes the lid from the first.
05:40But, alas, it's empty.
05:44Mr. Grimnasty, and so is the next, and the third.
05:50Mr. Grimnasty is furious.
05:53Now, what use are these?
05:55He shouts angrily, peering into one, just to make sure.
05:58Well, they certainly make lovely places to hide, decides Raggety, hastily jumping into one, for Mr. Grimnasty looks extremely cross.
06:08Raggety? Raggety, where are you?
06:11Rupert, Pudgy, and Bill are all sitting rather miserably in the garden, when Mr. Grimnasty comes up the garden path with the three pots.
06:24Look what I've found, he shouts.
06:26I thought I'd dig for the Croc of Gold, but all I've found are three empty ones.
06:30Oh, goodness me, cries Mr. Bear excitedly as he examines the pots.
06:35Why, these are really very old, Mr. Grimnasty.
06:38I shall telephone the professor right away.
06:44Come in and have a cup of tea, Mr. Grimnasty, says Mrs. Bear.
06:47You must be worn out.
06:49I am, Mrs. Bear, I am, he sighs.
06:53We, we are truly sorry about breaking into your storeroom, says Rupert timidly.
07:00Oh, that's all right, says Mr. Grimnasty.
07:03And you must excuse me, he adds, but I have a terrible temper.
07:09And as for the jam, Pudgy, continues Mr. Grimnasty, you're welcome to it.
07:15Blackberry pips always get into my teeth.
07:18The professor's coming right away, says Mr. Bear delightedly as he hurries in.
07:22These pots are very dirty.
07:24I'll wash them, suggests Mrs. Bear.
07:27Oh, no, no, cries Mr. Bear.
07:30The earth will help him place them time-wise, he explains.
07:34Oh?
07:35Mrs. Bear is surprised.
07:38Hello, hello, cries the professor.
07:41Goodness, you were quick, says Mr. Bear.
07:44I ran all the way.
07:46Now, where are they?
07:48Oh, but they're beautiful.
07:50And the professor plunges his hand inside one.
07:54Oh, oh, something bit me.
07:56Well, it's your fault, yells Raggedy, leaping suddenly out of the crock.
08:00You shouldn't go sticking your fingers into people.
08:03Raggedy, what were you doing in there, asks Rupert.
08:08Raggedy giggles.
08:09They make lovely hiding places, he explains.
08:13Oh, Mrs. Bear, can I have a taste of that?
08:16I'm so hungry.
08:17All right, says Mrs. Bear, who's busy stirring a pudding.
08:21And she holds out the spoon.
08:23Oh, delicious.
08:24Yum, yum, yum, yum.
08:27Oh, Raggedy, I didn't mean the wooden spoon as well.
08:30Now, there are plenty of twigs in the garden.
08:32So off you go.
08:33The professor's absorbed and mutters to himself as he gently scrapes away the earth round one of the pots.
08:42Yes, yes, I believe.
08:44Mmm, definitely, yes, yes, I'm sure.
08:49Well, the professor beams at Mr. Grimnasty.
08:52This is the finest example of pre-Roman pottery or even the beaky people I've ever seen.
09:00And I should be so grateful if you would donate them to the museum, continues the professor.
09:06Why, um, of course, of course.
09:10We'll go right away then.
09:11Come on, says the professor, picking up a pot.
09:14Mr. Grimnasty picks up another, and Mr. Bear the third.
09:17Well, well, well, let's go and bury one of our pots so people in a thousand years can find it, says Rupert excitedly.
09:27No, Rupert, that's my favourite bowl, cries Mrs. Bear, rescuing it just in time.
09:32You can bury this old mug of yours, she adds kindly.
09:37The following morning, as Rupert, Mr. Bear and Mrs. Bear are sitting down for breakfast, there's a knock at the door.
09:44Good morning, Mr. Grimnasty, says Rupert, surprised to see him up so early.
09:49Look, look, he cries excitedly, holding up the morning paper.
09:54And there, right on the front page, is a photograph of Mr. Grimnasty.
10:00Wizardy whiz, exclaims Rupert, reading.
10:04One of the greatest discoveries of our time.
10:08Yes, and that's me, says Mr. Grimnasty proudly.
10:11Oh, says Rupert, surprised.
10:15I thought that meant the pots.
10:17Rupert, Rupert, the bell, everyone's in his name.
10:40Rupert, Rupert, the bell, everyone come and join.
10:44Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, the bell, everyone come and join in all of his name.
10:59Rupert, Rupert.
