00:00Today, Rupert makes a house for the White Rabbit in Rupert and the White Rabbit.
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 games.
01:05Oh look, it's stopped raining at last, Mummy, says Rupert happily. Can I?
01:11Rupert looks out through the door.
01:14Oh Raggedy, do look where you're going!
01:18For Raggedy has stepped right into the middle of a huge puddle outside the back door.
01:23Well, I can't get much wetter, and I brought the White Rabbit with me, because his burrow has been flooded out, Raggedy explains.
01:31My goodness, you poor things, you are wet, says Mrs. Bear sympathetically.
01:37Now just you sit in front of the fire, and you'll soon be dry, and I'll get you a nice warm drink.
01:43The fire and the hot drink soon revive the White Rabbit.
01:47Oh, that was delicious, Mrs. Bear, he says.
01:51You know, this is the first time I've ever been inside a house.
01:55It's much nicer than my burrow.
01:58Really?
02:00I know, I'll make you one.
02:02I'll make it on stilts, like this one, Rupert adds, showing him the picture.
02:08Then you won't ever get flooded again.
02:11That is a good idea, Rupert, says Mr. Bear.
02:15There's some spare wood in the shed.
02:17Bye.
02:18Thanks, Daddy.
02:19Bye.
02:20Oh look, there's Podgy and Bill and Edward.
02:23Hey, shouts Rupert, come and help me build a house for the White Rabbit.
02:28Crumpety-crumps, says Edward eagerly, hurrying up the garden path.
02:33That sounds fun.
02:37After a long time, and several sore thumbs later, the White Rabbit's house is finished.
02:43We must have a proper opening ceremony, Podgy decides, with a ribbon to cut,
02:48and a bottle of champagne to break on it like a ship.
02:51I know, I'll ask Margot for a hair ribbon.
02:54You can get the champagne, he calls as he hurries through the gate.
02:58And I'll meet you on the common.
03:00Dear me, laughs Mrs. Bear.
03:03I'm afraid I haven't any champagne.
03:06Will lemonade do?
03:08Rupert and Edward pull with a will.
03:11Come on, push!
03:13But I am, cries Bill.
03:15Pulling and pushing and on they race.
03:18Oh look, cries Rupert.
03:20That's the place.
03:21So the chariot gaily trundles on, right to the spot where the house will belong.
03:27Oh, there's Margot and Podgy.
03:30Come on, calls Rupert.
03:31We're all ready.
03:33By the time Margot has tied her hair ribbon round the house and given the White Rabbit a pair of scissors,
03:40and Podgy has hung the bottle of lemonade from a string on the roof, everyone is feeling very excited.
03:46You'll have to make a speech, Podgy tells the White Rabbit firmly.
03:51Oh.
03:52Um.
03:53Well.
03:54This day I proudly named this house, um...
03:59Say no?
04:01Suggests Podgy.
04:02No.
04:03Something simple, I think.
04:06I know.
04:07The White Rabbit's residence.
04:09He swings the bottle, which breaks in the most satisfactory manner, and he cuts the ribbon.
04:19Hooray!
04:20Shouts Edward, and they all join in.
04:23Hooray!
04:24Hooray!
04:25Hooray!
04:26Hooray!
04:27Hooray!
04:28Hooray!
04:29Well, open the door, urges Rupert excitedly.
04:33But before the White Rabbit can move, Raggety is on the ramp, dancing excitedly up and down.
04:40Oh, what a lovely house!
04:42I like it, I like it, and it's mine!
04:45But, but...
04:46Oh, hey, come out Raggety, cries Rupert.
04:50Too late.
04:52Raggety is in, and doesn't intend to come out.
04:57Not for a while, anyway.
05:00Oh!
05:01Cries the poor White Rabbit.
05:03My house!
05:04My lovely new house!
05:06Trumpety trumps!
05:08We'll have to make another one!
05:11Exclaims Edward.
05:12And I banged my trunk twice with the hammer.
05:16He sighs.
05:17No!
05:18Says Rupert firmly.
05:20We made it for White Rabbit, and White Rabbit shall have it.
05:23Oh, do come out!
05:25Begs Podgy, peering in at the window.
05:27I've got a lovely piece of wood here, too.
05:30Not hungry!
05:31Not hungry!
05:32Raggety yells.
05:34I'm not coming out!
05:36Not ever!
05:37So fair!
05:38The trouble is, when he does get hungry, he'll eat the house!
05:44Sighs Bill worriedly.
05:46Just then, Mr. Grimnasty hurries up.
05:50What's that monstrosity doing here?
05:53He asks.
05:54Rupert's most indignant.
05:56That's the White Rabbit's new house!
05:59Oh, my goodness!
06:00Whatever is the common coming to?
06:02Why can't he live in a burrow the way rabbits should?
06:05And what are you doing in there, Raggety?
06:09Come out at once.
06:11Mr. Grimnasty is really cross now.
06:14You woke me up with all that cheering, he thunders.
06:18And who has been breaking glass?
06:20Well, we, um, we named the house like a ship, stutters Rupert.
06:26I...
06:27I'm just going to get a dustpan and brush, says Margot quickly.
06:30And she runs off, glad of the excuse to get away.
06:33I should think so too, says Mr. Grimnasty, storming off.
06:38Come on, Raggety!
06:39All right!
06:40All right!
06:41I'm coming, squeaks Raggety, scurrying down the ramp.
06:47Phew!
06:48gasps Bill.
06:49The White Rabbit is most indignant.
06:52Hootsy, think he is.
06:55And you'll just have to get used to my house.
06:57Because this is my house, and that's where I'm going to stay.
07:03Well, we'll leave you to settle in, says Rupert.
07:06Yes, it must be long past lunchtime, says Podgy anxiously.
07:11I'm hungry too, Edward agrees.
07:15And me, adds Bill.
07:17Come on.
07:18Bye!
07:19Bye!
07:20Bye!
07:21Bye!
07:22Bye!
07:23Bye!
07:27Rupert, Podgy, Bill and Edward all decide to visit the White Rabbit that afternoon to see how he's getting on.
07:33Oh, look!
07:34There's Margot coming too, says Rupert.
07:37What's that?
07:38He asks curiously.
07:40I've made some curtains for the White Rabbit's house.
07:43Margot proudly holds them up.
07:45Shhh!
07:46Shhh!
07:47Whispers Rupert.
07:48We mustn't forget to knock.
07:51Funny.
07:52There's no answer.
07:54No, he's not in, says Podgy, peering through the window.
08:00Perhaps he's gone to find something to eat.
08:03Or collecting his belongings from the burrow, suggests Bill.
08:07Hey!
08:08White Rabbit!
08:09Hey!
08:10White Rabbit!
08:11He shouts down one of the White Rabbit's many entrances.
08:14Oh!
08:15Hello!
08:16Says the White Rabbit, popping up out of yet another one.
08:20Why aren't you in your house?
08:23Well, it was very kind of you, Rupert and Podgy and Bill and Edward.
08:29But you see, my burrow's dry now and...
08:32Well, living in a house isn't for rabbits.
08:36We live in burrows.
08:38There's no draught, you see.
08:40But come in and have tea, he adds, looking round at the disappointed faces.
08:45It's really very cosy.
08:47You can get in over there.
08:49The rain has washed so much out of the way.
08:51The hole's enormous now, he adds.
08:57Oh, yes, exclaims Margot.
09:00It's very nice in here.
09:02And so clean and tidy.
09:05But what shall I do with these?
09:07She adds, holding up the two small curtains.
09:10Hmm, I know.
09:12I'll have a pretend window, the White Rabbit decides.
09:15They'll go on that hall nicely.
09:17Thank you, Margot.
09:19As Rupert and his friends emerge from the burrow...
09:22Cries the crow, flying down to inspect the house.
09:28He cries excitedly, which means I like this very much.
09:35And in a few seconds, he's back with a beak full of straw.
09:40Wizardy whiz, he's going to live there, says Rupert happily.
09:45Oh, I am glad, sighs Edward.
09:48And everybody agrees.
09:50I'll make him some curtains too, Margot decides,
09:54as the crow returns with yet another beak full of straw.
09:57Let's go and tell Daddy, suggests Rupert.
10:00Mr. Bear is delighted.
10:03Well, I'm glad our hard work wasn't wasted, he chuckles.
10:08I wonder what it would be like in a burrow, says Mrs. Bear thoughtfully.
10:13It must be rather cosy.
10:16It is, agrees Rupert.
10:19Rupert, Rupert, the bell.
10:24Everyone's telling his name.
10:38Rupert, Rupert, the bell.
10:42Everyone come and join in all of his games.
10:49Rupert, Rupert the Bell.
10:53Everyone come and join in all of his games.
11:04Rupert.
11:12Rupert.
