00:00Today, Rupert and Mrs. Bear visit Mr. Grimnasty in Rupert and Mr. Grimnasty's New Home.
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.
00:43Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name. Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
00:57In all of his name.
01:09Why, Raggedy, whatever's the matter? asks Rupert as he opens the door. For the little creature looks so woe-begone.
01:19Mr. Grimnasty's cross with me, sniffs Raggedy sadly. And I was only trying to help, too, he wails.
01:26Oh, you poor little thing, come in, says Mrs. Bear sympathetically.
01:33Oh, hello, Rupert. Have you seen Raggedy? Oh, there you are, cries Mr. Grimnasty crossly.
01:41Now, now, says Mrs. Bear, for Raggedy is looking most alarmed. I'm sure the little creature didn't mean any harm.
01:48He's a nuisance. He will get in the way. Mr. Grimnasty is cross.
01:54You see, the Professor is modernising my home. But we'll never get it finished if...
02:00Wizardy whiz! interrupts Rupert excitedly. Can I come and see?
02:05Yes, but later, just as soon as it's finished. If it ever does get finished, adds Mr. Grimnasty gloomily.
02:11Can Raggedy stay here? Rupert suggests. Well, all right, Mrs. Bear rather reluctantly agrees.
02:21Oh, thank you, says Mr. Grimnasty happily. Goodbye.
02:25Take him to the garden shed. There's lots of wood there, she tells Rupert.
02:33Here you are. Look.
02:35Oh, yum, yum, yum. It'll take me days to get through this lot.
02:39And Raggedy starts then and there.
02:41Yum, yum, yum.
02:43Raggedy's really happy now.
02:45Can I sleep here too? he asks.
02:48In case I wake up feeling like a snack in the night, he explains.
02:51Of course you can, Raggedy. I'll make you up a nice comfortable bed in the corner, chuckles Rupert.
02:58Good morning, good morning, good morning. Lovely day, isn't it?
03:02Good morning, says Rupert, surprised. He's never seen Mr. Grimnasty so pleased before.
03:08Well, everything is ready, he continues.
03:11And I should like you and Mrs. Bear to be the first to come and see my new home.
03:15Can I come too? asks Raggedy.
03:18Why, of course, of course.
03:21You can come back now, says Mr. Grimnasty cheerfully.
03:24Come on.
03:27Both Rupert and Mrs. Bear are astonished as they enter Mr. Grimnasty's home.
03:33For there are electrical plugs, paint pots and paintbrushes all over the place.
03:38There's also a large pool of paint on the floor, but none on the walls.
03:43But, but I thought you were modernising your home.
03:48What did you paint?
03:49Mrs. Bear looks round, puzzled.
03:52Well, yes, I was going to paint and I will, I will someday, but look at this, says Mr. Grimnasty,
03:59pointing proudly at the computer panel beside his chair.
04:03Wizardy whiz! Just look at all those buttons, cries Rupert excitedly.
04:08Bed, he reads, teapot, stove.
04:14Why, you can just sit in your chair and press a button and get anything you want.
04:19And now for the best of all, Mr. Grimnasty explains, my bed.
04:24But where is it? Asks Rupert, for there's no sign of a bed anywhere.
04:30Aha!
04:34There's a creaking, squeaking sort of noise.
04:37And the bed slowly lowers itself from the wall onto the floor.
04:43Oh, that's a good idea.
04:46You don't have to bother to make it because no one can see it, chuckles Rupert.
04:50But Raggedy has discovered that something is missing.
04:54Where's my wood?
04:56It's gone, all gone.
04:58What have you done with my wood?
05:00Watch, young Raggedy.
05:02And Mr. Grimnasty steps in front of a small light.
05:06And to everyone's amazement, a door swings slowly open.
05:12My wood! My lovely wood!
05:14Squeaks Raggedy.
05:15Oh, I like that, cries Rupert.
05:19Yes, the storeroom is opened by an electronic beam, Mr. Grimnasty proudly explains.
05:26Raggedy is delighted.
05:28I like this best, he says, happily running in and out of his beam, closing and opening the storeroom door.
05:36Now, will you both join me in a cup of tea?
05:39And Mr. Grimnasty presses a button.
05:41Now, presently, there's a steaming and a gurgling, and the teapot pops up from inside the table, rather like toast from a toaster, all ready to drink.
05:53Now, that's what I like, declares Mrs. Bear.
05:57I wish I had one like that, she sighs.
06:04There's a button for everything, Rupert tells Mr. Bear later that day.
06:08There's a button for his bed and a button for the teapot, sighs Mrs. Bear.
06:14It just pops up from the middle of the table, all ready to drink.
06:18Well, well, chuckles Mr. Bear.
06:21I don't think that's going to last very long.
06:23Come in, come in, and if that's you, Professor, I've got a complaint to make, shouts Mr. Grimnasty.
06:31No, it's me, Rupert.
06:33And P-Podgy, adds the little pig nervously.
06:37Well, these newfangled inventions simply won't work.
06:41Why? What's gone wrong?
06:43It's probably something quite simple.
06:45Perhaps I could...
06:47Rupert's finger is itching to press one of these buttons.
06:50It's my tea, explains Mr Grimnasty.
06:53It worked yesterday when the Professor was here,
06:56and it worked today when you and Mrs Bear were here.
06:58But when I tried just now, I got stale cold tea.
07:03But, but, giggles Rupert,
07:06you have to empty the old tea away and get everything ready each time.
07:11Each time?
07:13Yes.
07:14But what's the point of that then, demands Mr Grimnasty.
07:18No, that's just stupid, that is.
07:21Modern living, indeed.
07:23It makes me tired.
07:25He presses the button for his bed
07:27and flings himself down on it in such a fury
07:31that the bed jolts and flies back into the wall.
07:37Rupert, where's Mr Grimnasty gone?
07:40gasps Podgy.
07:42Oop, oop, shouts a muffled voice.
07:46He's stuck in the bed, Rupert explains,
07:50pressing the button marked bed.
07:53But to his horror, nothing happens.
07:56Help, oop, Rupert, help.
08:02Daddy, daddy, he calls breathlessly.
08:06Mr Grimnasty is stuck in his bed in the wall.
08:09There, I told you so, says Mr Bear, hurrying towards the gate.
08:14It takes Mr Bear several minutes to release Mr Grimnasty,
08:18and by the time he does, the mechanism is badly broken.
08:23I'm very sorry, says Mr Bear,
08:25but I'm afraid that you won't be able to use this.
08:28Oh, please don't worry.
08:30I assure you that I would never, never use that mechanism again.
08:33In fact, Mr Grimnasty continues,
08:36I don't think I shall ever trust any of these gadgets again,
08:40and Mrs Bear is more than welcome to the teapot unit, he adds.
08:45Oh, really and truly, asks Rupert.
08:48Yes.
08:49Oh, mummy will be pleased.
08:51Then so shall I.
08:53Now, if you will excuse me,
08:56all this has made me so tired.
08:59He yawns.
09:01Good night.
09:02Hello, Raggedy, says Rupert,
09:06as the little creature dashes in with an armful of wood.
09:09I'm just stocking up my store cupboard,
09:12says the little creature busily,
09:13as he passes by the electric eye.
09:16The door flies open.
09:18It still works, see,
09:20tries the little creature happily.
09:23Shh, whispers Mr Bear.
09:26I don't want your mummy to hear us.
09:28You watch the door while I fix this unit.
09:30All right, whispers Rupert,
09:33standing on guard by the door.
09:36Ready, says Mr Bear at last.
09:39Go on, Rupert.
09:40You press the button while I fetch her.
09:43Rupert proudly presses the button.
09:44You know, I feel just like a cup of tea,
09:49don't you, Rupert,
09:50says Mr Bear as he comes in.
09:52Yes, giggles Rupert.
09:54So do I.
09:56I'll go and make some,
09:57says Mrs Bear,
09:58just as the teapot pops up onto the table.
10:01Oh, my goodness!
10:05Mrs Bear is overwhelmed.
10:07How kind of Mr Grimnasty,
10:10she sighs.
10:12But when she tastes it,
10:14it's coffee!
10:16Rupert, Rupert the Bell,
10:34everyone's in his name.
10:39Rupert, Rupert the Bell,
10:42everyone come and join
10:44in all of his games.
10:50Rupert, Rupert the Bell,
10:53everyone come and join
10:55in all of his games.
11:03Rupert.
