00:00Today, Rupert helps an underground creature in Rupert and the Striped Digger.
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.
00:56Rupert, Rupert, Rupert and Mrs. Bear are just finishing breakfast, when Bill Badger comes to the window.
01:11Good morning, everyone, he says.
01:14Hey, Bill, there's no school today. We've broken up for the holidays, remember?
01:19I know that, Rupert. I came to see if you could come out and play.
01:23Yes, if you've finished. Off you go, dear, says Mrs. Bear. It's such a lovely day.
01:27What shall we do, inquires Bill. Let's get in the chariots and go and call for Edward first.
01:36Rupert, Bill, help! Oh, dear, please help!
01:39Hold on, Raggedy, whatever's the matter?
01:41Well, I was getting Mr. Grimnasty's breakfast ready this morning, and I heard the most peculiar noises.
01:48I expect it was Mr. Grimnasty snoring, suggests Bill.
01:52No, it wasn't, snaps Raggedy.
01:54I know what that sounds like.
01:57Go on, Raggedy.
01:58Why don't you come back with me and listen, instead of all this talking?
02:02All right, jump on the front and we'll take you.
02:05They're in such a hurry to get to Raggedy's that they don't see the large ladybird until...
02:16Oh, do look where you're going, she says crossly.
02:21I'm very sorry, apologises Rupert. We were in a hurry.
02:25Well, so am I. I've got to get to Toyland quickly. It's the only place to get my new coat.
02:33New coat?
02:33Yes, haven't you noticed? I've got no spots.
02:37They've got spotted paint in Toyland.
02:40Well, I must hurry.
02:43And she's off.
02:47Inside Raggedy's room, all is quiet at the moment.
02:51I can't hear anything, says Rupert.
02:54But then...
02:56There you are, screams Raggedy.
02:59Whatever is it, Rupert?
03:01Bill doesn't like it either.
03:03It seems to be coming from this side of the room.
03:07What's through this wall, Raggedy?
03:09Raggedy?
03:11My...
03:11My...
03:12Roots...
03:13Stomp!
03:14He stutters.
03:15See!
03:16Do you think someone's eating my roots?
03:18See!
03:19Screams Raggedy.
03:20It's getting louder!
03:21It's getting louder!
03:22Look, Rupert!
03:25Shouts Bill in horror.
03:27For part of the wall is crumbling away.
03:30And through it comes...
03:32Whatever is it?
03:34It stands staring at them.
03:37And Rupert doesn't quite know what to say.
03:39Er...
03:41Hello.
03:42Are you visiting Raggedy?
03:46Who's Raggedy?
03:52And then Rupert realises the poor little creature is crying.
03:56Whatever's the matter?
03:58I'm looking for them.
04:01I can't find them anywhere.
04:03Where?
04:04Can't find what?
04:06My...
04:07My...
04:07Stripes, of course.
04:10Anyone can see I've lost my...
04:12Stripes?
04:14Um...
04:16What stripes?
04:17Asks Rupert.
04:18Well, all lesser furry...
04:21Striped burrowers have...
04:23Stripes.
04:24Otherwise they're only furry burrowers.
04:26Not striped ones.
04:28And I've lost mine.
04:30Did you leave them lying around somewhere then?
04:34Asks Bill.
04:35No.
04:36I woke up this morning and they were gone.
04:39Please, can't you help me find them?
04:43I don't feel like helping.
04:45You've made a nasty hole in my wall.
04:48Raggedy points out.
04:49Well, you needn't then.
04:51Bill and I will help and you can stay here.
04:54Oh!
04:55Raggedy doesn't like to miss anything.
04:57Well, it's not too big a hole.
04:59I will help.
05:01Isn't it funny, Rupert?
05:03First we meet someone who needs more spots.
05:06And now someone who's looking for stripes.
05:09I bet there are people looking for squares too.
05:13That's it!
05:14Rupert exclaims.
05:16That's very clever, Bill.
05:18We'll take the burrower to Toyland.
05:20Yes.
05:21If they've got spotted paint,
05:23they must have striped paint.
05:25The little creature is delighted.
05:30Come on then, let's get back to the chariot.
05:33Rupert heads for the door.
05:35But the burrower isn't following.
05:36Is it in the open air?
05:39He inquires.
05:41Yes, why?
05:42Oh, I can't go up there.
05:44Oh, I'm a burrower.
05:45I have to stay underground.
05:48Oh, dear.
05:49Now what are we going to do?
05:51We don't know the way there underground,
05:53or even if there is a way.
05:55Yes, we do.
05:56Or at least I do,
05:57Raggedy claims importantly.
05:59I go there every Christmas to help out in the rush.
06:02Lead the way then, Raggedy.
06:04Oh.
06:05Squeals the burrower in delight,
06:07hurrying after them.
06:08Through rocky passages they follow.
06:12The roof is high,
06:13their voices hollow.
06:15Raggedy knows this is the way.
06:17Hurry on, he turns to say.
06:20The chums are out of breath.
06:22They find the burrower bounds along behind.
06:26We're nearly there,
06:27announces Raggedy at last.
06:29Phew, thank goodness.
06:31I'm exhausted.
06:33Oh.
06:34Raggedy has come to an abrupt halt
06:36in front of a pile of rock and earth.
06:39What is it, Raggedy?
06:41I think there's been an earthfall.
06:43We can't go any farther.
06:46Bounces the burrower excitedly.
06:48Yes, we can.
06:50I can burrow.
06:51And he gets to work straight away.
06:54Dig upwards.
06:55We must be there.
07:04Suddenly the burrower stops
07:06and turns round.
07:09He sobs.
07:10It's an excellent hair,
07:12isn't it?
07:13My eyes will never stand it.
07:16Oh, we never thought of that.
07:19I know.
07:21I'll tie my hanky round your eyes.
07:25There.
07:26And the burrower gets to work once more.
07:29Very soon,
07:31he's breaking through above.
07:33But someone else is watching in amazement.
07:38It's the toy king.
07:39And they've come up right in front of his throne.
07:42Guards!
07:45Guards!
07:46Guards!
07:46Guards!
07:47Guards!
07:48Guards!
07:49Guards!
07:50Guards!
07:51Guards!
07:52Guards!
07:53Guards!
07:54Guards!
07:55The tunnel has fallen in, explains Rupert, and he tells the king why they've come.
08:00So, as you have spotted paint, we wondered whether you had...
08:04Sprite paint, finishes the burrower anxiously.
08:08Yes, of course we have. How do you think we paint the zebras?
08:13Raggedy, take them to the paint store while I get the toy bulldozers to repair this hole.
08:21The manager shows them the colours they can choose from.
08:23But we don't know what colour his stripes were, Rupert, and he can't see.
08:30Well, as I'm having new stripes, I'd like a change. Is there a nice blonde colour?
08:38Yes, here we are, the manager points out.
08:42If you think it'll suit me, I'll try it.
08:47Yes, it goes very well with your brown.
08:49Now, you put your friend onto this conveyor belt.
08:53Lift him up.
08:57That's it. I'll go and start up the machinery and put the paint in.
09:02The machinery starts up, and they watch the burrower go into the paint shop.
09:06When he comes out the other side, he's all beautifully striped, brown and blonde.
09:17I say, exclaims Raggedy, you do look nice.
09:22The burrower jumps off eagerly.
09:24Oh, do take me back underground. I want to have a look.
09:30Later in the day, when Rupert is having tea and it's already dark, there's a funny noise.
09:36Oh, dear me, whatever's that? Mrs. Bear asks.
09:40Rupert, Rupert, it's me, says the burrower in a muffled voice.
09:43Please, can you turn your light off? I've got something for you.
09:49Rupert does as he's asked.
09:52Whatever next, exclaims Mrs. Bear, as Rupert lifts up the carpet, and there is the burrower.
09:59Oh, Rupert, I'm ever so pleased with my stripes, much better than before, and I've brought you a present.
10:06Oh, thank you. It's a bucket and spade.
10:12Yes, to help you to deed like me.
10:15Rupert, Rupert, you're fair.
10:35Rupert, Rupert, everyone's come and joined in all of his names.
10:49Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, everyone's come and joined in all of his names.
10:59Rupert, Rupert, Rupert, everyone's come and joined in all of his names.
