00:00Today, Rupert has an exciting adventure under the common, in Rupert and the Pothole.
00:16There's a little bear, like you've never seen before, who's a lot of fun.
00:23Children everywhere, don't love him more and more, he's the number one.
00:30There's a million stories to be told, all the things that he's done.
00:36And he's gonna 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.
00:57In all of his name.
01:04Rupert is in the kitchen with his mother, who is baking bread.
01:09A new club has been formed at school, says Rupert.
01:12What kind, dear? Asks Mrs. Bear, closing the oven door.
01:17It's a potholing club, replies Rupert.
01:20Oh, then you'll be able to mend my pots.
01:23No, laughs Rupert.
01:26When the potholers find a large hole in the ground, they go down it to explore.
01:31Oh, I see.
01:33But isn't that dangerous?
01:35Well, it can be, if you don't belong to a club.
01:39I would like to join.
01:41Well, you'd better ask Daddy.
01:42He's in the sitting room, suggests Mrs. Bear.
01:45I heard that, Rupert.
01:48And so long as you take great care, and always do exactly what the instructor tells you, you may join, smiles Mr. Bear.
01:58Oh, I will. Thank you.
02:00I must go and tell someone.
02:02I know. I'll walk over to Tiger Lily's and tell her.
02:06All right, says Mr. Bear.
02:08Hello, Edward, greets Rupert cheerfully.
02:12Where are you off to?
02:14To call for you.
02:16No need to now, laughs Rupert.
02:18I'm here.
02:19I can see that.
02:21Where are you going, then?
02:24To Tiger Lily's house.
02:25I want to know whether she's going to join the potholers' club.
02:29I am.
02:30Me too, assures Edward.
02:32I asked my Daddy, and he said yes.
02:35Tiger Lily's father is the Chinese Conjurer, and he's playing tricks with the flowers in the garden.
02:51Tiger Lily has just left to meet her cousin, Ting Ling, at Nutwood Station, he tells Rupert.
02:56If you hurry, you may cut her off.
02:59Thank you, sir.
03:00Thank you, sir.
03:05Oh, hello, Tiger Lily, huffs Rupert.
03:10I'm glad we caught you up.
03:12You are out of breath, Rupert.
03:14What's the hurry?
03:16Asks Tiger Lily.
03:17We wanted to come to the station with you.
03:20And to ask you if you're going to join the potholing club at school.
03:24I'd like to, but I'll have to ask father.
03:29Hello.
03:30What a lot of people to meet me.
03:32I am very honoured, says Ting Ling.
03:35I hope we didn't keep you waiting, says Tiger Lily.
03:39No, I've only just arrived.
03:42Let's go over the common on the way home, suggests Rupert.
03:45On the common, Rupert finds something he's not seen there before.
03:56Look at this big hole, calls Rupert to his chums.
04:01Anyone down there?
04:04Do you think there might be?
04:07Anyone there?
04:09There!
04:09Rupert falls down the hole, taking poor Edward with him.
04:17Oh, that wasn't too bad, was it?
04:22No, agrees Rupert.
04:24But we could have walked instead of fallen.
04:28Look, they went through there, says Ting Ling.
04:31I think we ought to go down after them, don't you?
04:38Rupert?
04:39Rupert?
04:40Where are you?
04:42Here I am.
04:43Oh, you made me jump.
04:46Isn't it dark down here?
04:49Your eyes will get used to it in a little while.
04:51Oh, yes, says Tiger Lily.
04:54I'm beginning to see better now.
04:57Good.
04:58Let's explore, shall we?
05:00Oh, yes.
05:01Isn't it exciting?
05:04I thought you'd be frightened, says Edward.
05:07No, Tiger Lily's going to join the Pothole Club.
05:10She's not frightened.
05:13Pothole?
05:14This must be a pothole.
05:17Yes, we can get some practice, can't we?
05:21The explorers set off down the tunnel, with Rupert leading the way.
05:29These look like tree roots, says Ting Ling.
05:32It must be a big tree.
05:35Oh, look how that stone sparkles.
05:40And look, what's all this?
05:44They look like daffodil bulbs, don't they?
05:48It's raggedy, exclaims Rupert.
05:51What are you and your friends doing here, Rupert Bear?
05:55Asks Raggedy, who is very annoyed.
05:57You're trespassing in my wool store.
06:00Now that you're here, you'll have to stay forever and ever.
06:03Ah, what do you mean, stay forever and ever, asks Tiger Lily a little nervously.
06:10Just what I say.
06:11You are lost, and you'll have to stay down here forever.
06:14We're not lost, exclaims Rupert.
06:18Oh, yes you are, you'll see.
06:21And Raggedy is off.
06:23He's in a bad mood today, isn't he, says Edward.
06:27The four friends move on, but soon realise that Raggedy wasn't joking.
06:33Look, there's that sparkly stone again.
06:38He's right.
06:40We are lost.
06:42We should have waited till we had the instructor from school before we went potholing.
06:47Oh, dear, I'm tired, says Tiger Lily.
06:53I wish I was at home.
06:56Wait a minute.
06:57What's in here?
06:59It looks like a kitchen.
07:01Somebody's been washing some old dusters.
07:05What do you mean, old dusters?
07:07I'll have you know that's my best Sunday go-to-meeting suit.
07:10I don't know.
07:11You come, traipsing in here.
07:13Get out.
07:14Go on, get out.
07:16Oh, we're very sorry, Mr. Grimnasty.
07:18We can't find our way out.
07:20Would you tell us which way to go?
07:22Yes, go that way, says Grimnasty.
07:25But he's pointing the wrong way.
07:30On and on and round and round, the explorers travel underground.
07:38Past Root and Cobweb, Turn and then the sparkling stone they see again.
07:47Mr. Grimnasty must have shown us the wrong direction, sighs Edward.
07:52It looks just the same.
07:55Father, cries the delighted tiger lily.
08:00That was a good trick.
08:03Yes, and I don't want to stay too long.
08:06It's very cramped down here, says the Chinese conjurer.
08:10Let's start by opening the roof.
08:14Earth and root and weed, these people must be freed.
08:18So with my magic, I will try to make a hole and see the sky.
08:23And with these boxes, two, four, six, a flight of steps I'm going to fix.
08:29Hooray!
08:30Now we can climb out, laughs Tiger Lily.
08:34Yes, come along.
08:36Up you go carefully.
08:37I was worried when you didn't return home from the station on time, says Tiger Lily's father.
08:46And I was just on my way to find you when I met your friend, Raggety.
08:50Some friend, interrupts Edward.
08:58Well, he is really very sorry for being bad-tempered, and that is why he told me where you were.
09:05So, you have him to thank for my being here.
09:08And I think now, you must go home, or both your mothers will be worried about you.
09:14What about the hole, sir?
09:16Asks Rupert.
09:17Someone might fall down it.
09:19Ah, that's true.
09:21I will have to use some more magic, replies the Chinese conjurer.
09:25I'm making passes in the air.
09:29Look, the hole's no longer there.
09:35Your magic amazes Rupert Bear.
09:37He can only stand and stare, laughs Rupert.
09:41Mmm, that was very good.
09:44But now we must go home, and so must you.
09:48Goodbye, and until you have an instructor, don't do any more potholing.
09:54It's much too dangerous.
10:00When are you going potholing, Rupert?
10:03Asks Mrs. Bear as she serves the tea.
10:05I've been, Mummy.
10:07Replies Rupert, and he tells her of his adventure under the common.
10:12I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned there somewhere, smiles Mrs. Bear.
10:16Rupert, Rupert, and he tells her of his pleasure.
10:21Let's begin.
10:22I'll see you next time.
10:32Rupert, Rupert, and the Bell, everyone's in his name.
10:39Rupert, Rupert, and the Bell, everyone come and join.
10:44In all of his games
10:49Rupert, listen to them
10:52Everyone come and join
10:55In all of his games
11:00Rupert
