00:00Today, Rupert helps the Scarecrow in Rupert and the Old Coat.
00:30There's a million stories to be told, all 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 game.
01:06Mrs. Bear has decided it's time she cleared out some of the old clothes in the wardrobes.
01:11And Rupert enjoys helping her. Oh, Rupert, you do look funny. But it's time for school.
01:19Yes, I can see Bill and Edward at the gate. I'd better be off.
01:24That's right, dear. On your way out, would you throw me Daddy's old coat off the hall stand? It's time that went into the rubbish bag.
01:33Here you are, Mummy. But I don't think you'll be very popular when Daddy hears that you've thrown out his old coat. Bye.
01:40Oh well. He'll have to find something else to wear in the garden.
01:45Shoo! Shoo! Ratted birds. There won't be any seeds left in the ground if they keep on eating them. Shoo! Shoo!
01:54Good afternoon, Farmer Talmud. What a lot of birds in your field. Isn't the scarecrow working today?
02:01Hello. I don't know what's happened to old scarecrow. He was here yesterday. Gave him a new coat I did.
02:08And what thanks do I get? Why, none at all. Just leaves me with a field full of birds and not much seeds left.
02:15If we hadn't got to go to school this afternoon, we'd love to keep them away, wouldn't we?
02:20Yes. Father. Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
02:28And the chums leave the poor farmer shooing and flapping his arms to scare the birds.
02:34Right. It's a lovely afternoon. Shall we take advantage of the weather and go on a nature ramble?
02:40Oh yes, sir. Oh yes, sir. Good. We'll see how many different leaves we can collect.
02:47Oh, and one other thing. I accidentally left my coat on the common yesterday.
02:54And when I remembered it, I went back there, but it was gone.
02:58So perhaps you'll all keep an eye open for it while we're collecting our leaves.
03:02Now, off we go.
03:04Out on the common, it really is a lovely day.
03:08Rupert, with his friends Bill Badger, Poggy Pig and Edward Trunk, are trying to get some leaves from a tree.
03:14But Rupert has heard something from some nearby bushes.
03:19He wanders off on his own to investigate.
03:22What's that?
03:26It must be some...
03:28Oh, it's you! Mr. Scarecrow!
03:31Whatever's the matter, you sound very unhappy.
03:33That's because I am unhappy, Rupert Bear.
03:39Why? And why are you wrapped in that blanket? Are you cold?
03:45No, I don't feel the cold any time, but I've got nothing else to wear.
03:51Leastways, I have got a horrible new coat that no self-respecting Scarecrow would think of wearing.
03:59What do you mean?
04:01Well, this morning, Rupert, old farmer Turmert came over and put a smart new coat on me.
04:08Ugh! Then he took the old one, Rupert, and he burned it on his bonfire.
04:15But why are you sitting here?
04:17Because I couldn't wear a new coat, could I?
04:22So I went home, when the old farmer had gone away, and I took the thing off and I put this blanket round me because I had to come out for food.
04:30Well, I wonder if one of my friends could help with some of his old clothes.
04:35Let's go and see Mr. Grimnasty.
04:37Mr. Grimnasty has just got up. He sleeps at very odd hours, because he's a very odd man.
04:45Hello, Rupert Bear. What do you want? I'm not in a very good mood today. Raggedy kept me awake all night.
04:51Hello, Rupert Bear. He's not in a very good mood today. I've kept him awake all night. Who's your friend?
04:57This is Scarecrow. And he's come to see if Mr. Grimnasty has got an old coat for him to wear.
05:04You see, Farmer Turmott burned the coat he had.
05:07Well, if you know, I don't have any old clothes. All my clothes are new and clean and respectable.
05:13Go on. Give him your best coat. It's the only thing you've got that's good enough for a Scarecrow.
05:19Well, if you know, Raggedy, that all my clothes are fit for a king.
05:23All my clothes are fit for a king.
05:29Now, what is it you want of me? Be quick. My time is valuable.
05:34Oh, yes. Now, I remember, you have come to beg a coat for this miserable subject of mine.
05:40What are you?
05:42I'm a Scarecrow, if it pleases your Majesty.
05:46Yes, it pleases me. We've got to have someone to keep the birds off the scenes.
05:51Now, where were we?
05:54Oh, yes, a coat. Where's that scullion, Raggedy? Raggedy!
05:59Yes, your Majesty. I'm here, your Majesty. What can I do for your Majesty?
06:04Get to my wardrobe and bring me some coats.
06:07At once, your Majesty. At once.
06:08That's not quick enough, you must do better than that.
06:14Now, Crow Scare, try these on.
06:17Oh, your Majesty, they're too good for me. I only wear rags, as you can see.
06:22These beautiful coats have never been worn.
06:25But the one I wear must be old and torn, with a pocket gown and the elbows thin, and a sleeve held on with a safety pin.
06:33What, you ungrateful beanpole! The best clothes in the land, and you refuse them!
06:40Oh, I'm tired of that game. What shall we play now?
06:44Well, I'm glad that's over. You're even worse with a crown on your head.
06:47Are your legs wood? I eat wood. Take your boots off. Let me get at them.
06:55Oh, Raggedy, behave yourself. That's not being helpful.
06:59Oh, right. I'll go and find something else to eat.
07:02And I'm going to bed. Why don't you go round to the rubbish dump?
07:06Someone must have thrown away an old coat this week.
07:09Rupert remembers the old coat that his mother is going to throw out.
07:12It's time that went into the rubbish bag.
07:16I've got an idea. Come home with me. And I think my mother has just the coat for you.
07:22Oh, Rupert, you mean that. An old coat, not a new one.
07:27Well, I suppose it's better than throwing it away. I must say you look a proper scarecrow in it.
07:34But he is a scarecrow, Mummy.
07:37Oh, Rupert, Mrs Bear, I'm so happy.
07:39I can flap my arms and scare the birds now.
07:43When I had the blanket on, I couldn't flap my arms or it fell off.
07:46Now I can go out and get something to eat. I look respectable now.
07:50When Mrs Bear hears that he hasn't eaten today,
07:54she asks the scarecrow to come back later and have some tea with Rupert.
07:58Then Rupert gets his magic chariot and flies the scarecrow back to his home.
08:01Thank you again, Rupert. I feel like going and scaring some crows now. I feel so happy.
08:15Oh, here. Would you take this new coat away? I don't want ever to see it again.
08:20Don't leave it on the common.
08:21What do you mean, don't leave it on the common?
08:24Well, that's where the farmer found it. He thought somebody had thrown it away, so he brought it and put it on me.
08:30I accidentally left my coat on the common yesterday, and when I remembered it, I went back there, but it was gone.
08:40Yes. Yes, I'll take the coat, and I know where to take it.
08:45The farmer won't get it again, don't worry.
08:48Now, I've just remembered that I should be with my school class on the common.
08:52I'll see you later. Cheerio.
08:53Cheerio.
08:56Rupert leaves his chariot behind the bush and hurries up to the master with the coat still over his arm.
09:05Rupert Bear, where have you been? The whole class has been looking for you.
09:10Why? You've found my coat. How clever of you. Well, I am pleased and no mistake.
09:17All right, everybody. School is finished for today. A very successful afternoon.
09:21Mmm, yes.
09:25Oh, that was scrumptious, Mrs Bear. Thank you very much. I couldn't eat another drop.
09:30Has anyone seen my old garden coat? It's gone from its hook.
09:35Oh, Mummy.
09:37That's it, isn't it?
09:40Oh, do you want it back, Mr Bear?
09:42Well, it's a ragged old coat, and I was going to throw it away this morning.
09:48It's only fit for a scarecrow.
09:50Oh! Oh, I do beg your pardon. I didn't mean...
09:54Don't apologize, Mrs Bear. Of course you're quite right.
09:57And that's why I didn't want that new coat.
10:00This one is just right for a scarecrow.
10:02Well, I expect I can find another old one somewhere, says Mr Bear kindly.
10:09Oh, thank you. I'll come and keep the birds off your seed beds whenever you want me.
10:14And I'm going to tell Farmer Termit not to burn your new old coat.
10:19Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone's in his name.
10:39Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join in all of his games.
10:49Rupert. Rupert. Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join in all of his games.
11:03Rupert.
