00:00Today, Rupert finds that months with a P in them are different in Rupert and the Lonely
00:16Pillar Box.
00:17There'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.
00:37And he's gonna share them all with you, so come along.
00:44Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name.
00:50Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join in all of his game.
01:06Rupert, be a good boy and post this letter for me, says Mrs. Bear.
01:11It's a pity that the Pillar Box is such a long way away, she sighs.
01:15It would be so handy to have one just outside the gate.
01:22Rupert arrives at the Pillar Box and is just about to post the letter when...
01:27Hey, stop!
01:30Rupert jumps and looks round, astonished.
01:33But there's no one in sight.
01:35He reaches up again, but...
01:37No more letters, definitely no more letters.
01:41I beg your pardon, stutters the astonished little bear.
01:46Did you say, no more letters?
01:49I did.
01:50And it's about time you cleaned your ears, young bear.
01:53I can't take any more letters, I'm full up to the brim.
01:56I'm so sorry, says Rupert, nervously beating a hastery retreat backwards, right into Mr. Grimnasty.
02:04Oh!
02:05Watch where you're going, young Rupert.
02:07Sorry, says Rupert automatically.
02:09But, Mr. Grimnasty, that Pillar Box spoke.
02:12It spoke to me.
02:14So it should.
02:15Pillar Boxes always speak when there's a P in the month.
02:18So any time during the months of September and April,
02:21you can hold a conversation with a pillar box.
02:24Oh, says Rupert, not sure that he wants to.
02:28Just then, Bill and Edward arrive.
02:31Hey, shouts Bill.
02:33Come on, Rupert.
02:34We're playing follow my leader, it's smashing.
02:37Oh, wizardy-whiz, wait for me!
02:39And Rupert joins in, forgetting all about Mrs. Bear's letter.
02:43And over the common go Edward, Bill and he, copying whatever they should see.
02:50Sometimes they leap or skip or jump, or hop along with a clump, clump, clump.
02:56Skipping and jumping yet again, until they reach a lonely lane.
03:01And there, right in the middle, is a Pillar Box.
03:06That's funny, says Bill, surprised.
03:09I don't remember seeing that before.
03:12It's a good thing it's there, because that reminds me.
03:16I've got a letter.
03:18Oh, um...
03:20Rupert hesitates.
03:22Excuse me, Mr. Pillar Box, but may I post this letter?
03:26He asks politely.
03:28Oh, Rupert, giggles Bill.
03:31And then he and Edward both gasp with astonishment, as the Pillar Box replies.
03:38I'm afraid you can't.
03:40It sighs.
03:41You see, nobody ever posts letters, nor collects them either.
03:47So there's not much point.
03:49But I'm so lonely.
03:52It cries miserably.
03:54I think I have been completely forgotten.
03:58Why, you poor old thing, says Rupert sympathetically.
04:02I know.
04:03I'll go and see Constable Growler.
04:05He may know what to do.
04:07But I must find another Pillar Box.
04:09But I've lost it.
04:11I've lost my letter.
04:13You must have dropped it on the common, says Edward.
04:16We'll help you look.
04:17Come on.
04:20Nobody ever remembers me, complains the Pillar Box sadly.
04:25And he sighs deeply.
04:27Rupert, Bill and Edward scour the common for Mrs. Bear's letter.
04:33But Raggedy is luckier.
04:36What's this?
04:37What's this?
04:38Cries Raggedy, pouncing on an envelope amongst the grass.
04:42But...
04:43Not very tasty.
04:45He decides, throwing it away again.
04:48Hey, who threw that?
04:50Cries Poggy, rubbing his head.
04:52Oh, hello Raggedy.
04:54Why are you throwing letters around?
04:56Letters?
04:57Says Raggedy.
04:58What good are they?
04:59It would make a nice dart, says Poggy, folding it.
05:02Look.
05:03Raggedy thinks this is great fun.
05:06And he and Poggy are having a fine game.
05:09When Rupert, Bill and Edward catch up with them at last.
05:12Look at this lovely dart, says Poggy, proudly throwing it.
05:17Rupert catches it.
05:18Why, Poggy, you found my mummy's letter.
05:22But Raggedy snatches it away.
05:24It's not yours, it's mine.
05:26I found it, and finders keepers.
05:28And the little creature runs off.
05:30Weehee!
05:31Weehee!
05:32Weehee!
05:33I'll make you a really big dart, Rupert promises.
05:36But please, please give me my letter back.
05:39Oh, all right.
05:41The little creature reluctantly hands it over.
05:44Well, where's my dart?
05:47Raggedy asks eagerly, expecting Rupert to produce it right then and there.
05:51Well, I haven't any paper, but...
05:54Hey, we mustn't forget the pillar marks, cries Bill.
05:58Oh, yes.
05:59Let's go and see Constable Growler.
06:01And he's sure to have some paper.
06:03Come on, Raggedy.
06:04You come with me.
06:06P.C. Growler is just sitting down with a cup of tea.
06:10Oh, my poor fate, he groans as Rupert and Raggedy come in.
06:15Now then, young Rupert, what's wrong?
06:18Excuse me, Constable Growler.
06:20But there's a pillar box in the lane the other side of the common, Rupert explains.
06:24And it's been completely forgotten.
06:27Oh, dear me.
06:28P.C. Growler is surprised.
06:30I didn't know there was a pillar box there.
06:32He gets up to examine his map.
06:35Well, it shouldn't be there officially.
06:38At least I haven't received any information about the aforesaid pillar box.
06:42I shall ring the post office right away.
06:45P.C. Growler goes to the phone and gets to work.
06:48So does Raggedy.
06:50Oh, no, you don't.
06:54We must ask first, says Rupert, hastily rescuing an official-looking document.
06:59Why can't we make darts out of these, complains the little creature crossly.
07:03There's lots of paper here.
07:05Well, says P.C. Growler, returning triumphantly.
07:09I was right.
07:11That pillar box was...
07:13Now then, now then.
07:15And what are you up to, young Raggedy?
07:18Rupert promised to make me a big dart.
07:21He said you'd have lots of paper.
07:23A paper dart?
07:24Ah, ha, ha.
07:25That's my favourite hobby, says the constable happily.
07:28I have one somewhere.
07:30Let me see.
07:31Ah, here you are.
07:35Raggedy's overjoyed.
07:38Not in here, shouts Mr. Growler, rescuing his cup just in time.
07:44Outside.
07:45And not in the road, either, he adds as Raggedy hurries out.
07:50Well, now, as I was saying, I was right.
07:53The pillar box was not assigned to that spot.
07:56In fact, the post office had lost it, as it was placed there by mistake.
08:01And someone is going right away to remove it.
08:04Rupert is delighted.
08:06Oh, thank you.
08:07It'll be so glad, because it was miserable all by itself down there.
08:12Constable Growler is astonished.
08:14Miserable?
08:15Pillow boxes don't feel miserable?
08:18But Rupert's already gone.
08:21Poor Raggedy is in trouble again.
08:24Unfortunately, he's taken no notice of B.C. Growler's instructions not to play in the road.
08:30And his dart has gone straight into the pillar box's mouth.
08:39Don't eat my dart, cries Raggedy, crossly, pulling it out.
08:43That's mine, that is.
08:44And I don't want you swallowing it.
08:46And I don't want it, either.
08:49Chokes the poor pillar box.
08:51I'm full up with letters as it is, without you sticking those nasty paper darts into me as well.
08:58Hello, Mr. Pillar Box.
09:00Rupert hurries up.
09:01I've got good news for you, he continues.
09:03We've just found a pillar box that the post office had lost and...
09:06No, cries the pillar box delightedly.
09:09Thank you, Rupert.
09:11Thank you very much.
09:12I've been handling far too many letters.
09:15And it plays havoc with my digestion.
09:18You should play with that dart on the common, says Rupert.
09:22It's much safer.
09:23All right, Raggedy agrees.
09:25Weehee!
09:28As Rupert walks along the lane towards his cottage, he sees...
09:31Why?
09:33Hello, Mr. Pillar Box.
09:35What are you doing here?
09:37This is my rightful place, it chortles happily.
09:40And thank you, Rupert.
09:42That's all right, says the little bear cheerfully.
09:45And, Rupert, you can have the honour of posting the first letter.
09:51Oh, yes!
09:52Wizardy whiz!
09:53I'd almost forgotten, chuckles the little bear, gleefully popping it in.
09:57And it falls with a faint thud.
09:59Oh, I haven't heard that noise for days and days, sighs the pillar box contentedly.
10:07As Rupert hurries in to tell Mrs. Bear.
10:10Why, that's just what I needed, cries Mrs. Bear.
10:14And I've just written another letter.
10:16I'll go and post it right away.
10:18Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone's telling his name.
10:39Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
10:47In all of these games.
10:50Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
10:58In all of these games.
11:04Rupert.
