SQUIRRELS: Duggee!
NARRATOR: Duggee!
[WOOFS]
SQUIRRELS: Duggee!
[SQUIRRELS LAUGH]
SQUIRRELS: Hey, Duggee!
NARRATOR: Duggee
and the island badge.
NARRATOR: Hello, Squirrels.
What are you doing?
-We're sailing.
-On the sea.
NARRATOR: Is it fun?
Yes. We've seen...
Fish!
Whales!
TUG: And waves,
going up and down,
and up and down,
and up and down.
NARRATOR: Hmm. I think Tag
might be feeling a little seas.
Ugh...
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Good idea, Duggee.
We can stop on that island.
SQUIRRELS: Yay!
Ah! It's not moving.
[HUMMING]
Do you feel better now, Tag?
-Uh-huh.
-[DUGGEE WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Then how about
a spot of lunch?
SQUIRRELS: Yes.
[VOCALISING]
But where's the food, Duggee?
NARRATOR: Oh. You must have
left the sandwiches on the...
Boat! Duggee,
that rock is taking our boat!
Huh?
[VOCALISING]
SQUIRRELS: Oh, no!
How will we get home?
What will we eat?
Where will we sleep?
[DUGGEE WOOFS]
NARRATOR:
Never fear, Squirrels.
Duggee has his island badge.
He knows what to do.
SQUIRRELS: Phew.
NARRATOR: So what do we
need first, Duggee?
[WOOFS]
Ooh. Good idea.
Wood for the fire.
I'll get it.
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Big leaves
to make a shelter.
-Me! Me!
-[WOOFS]
We'll also need
to find fresh...
Water!
I am writing in
the unfortunate position
of being stranded
on a desert island.
Who knows how long
we'll be here for?
I may well be an old octopus
by the time we return home.
Luckily, among
the shipwrecked crew is Duggee.
His expert knowledge
means we can survive.
♪ La la la la la ♪
Ha!
Water.
Yay!
The island is still
a mystery to us.
Who knows what dangers
it holds?
[INSECTS BUZZ]
Ugh!
Ugh!
[CHIRPING]
Ugh!
We have discovered many
strange animals in the jungle,
such as the pencil snake,
the fire cat
and the mischievous
boodle monkeys,
who creep into our camp
and steal our precious supplies.
[MONKEY GRUNTS]
But with Duggee's help,
we have been able to make
a life for ourselves on the isl.
Yay!
...finding water from the stream
and food from the plants.
We even made a home
for ourselves.
Ah!
Of sorts.
And Roly found us a pet.
A goat, who we named Tuesday.
I love her!
What Tuesday loved
was eating.
Hey! What's for lunch?
Not again, Tuesday.
It was a hard life.
Some might say it was
barely a life at all.
[SLURPS]
So for lunch we have
one coconut, one coconut soup,
one coconut stew
and coconut surprise on toast.
What's the surprise?
There's no toast.
And although we made
the island our own,
inside, everyone longed
for home.
Would we ever see anything othen
the boodle monkeys...
...the fire cat...
...and coconuts?
[RETCHING]
How long have we been
on this wretched island, Happy?
About an hour.
As long as that?
-I wish someone would...
-Rescue us!
-[RUMBLING]
-SQUIRRELS: Whoa!
ROLY: It's an earthquake!
[GRUNTS]
What's all this noise?
I was having a siesta.
Sorry. We didn't know
we were on you.
-We sailed here on a boat, but..
-A rock took it.
-It was a crab, Happy.
-Oh.
[WOOFS]
BETTY: [GASPS]
There's our boat!
Hold on. Captain Frank
will get you there in a minute.
[IMITATES HORN TOOTING]
SQUIRRELS: Yay!
Thank you, Captain Frank.
Ha! No problem!
BETTY: And so our adventure
came to an end.
We'd learnt to make
the most of what we had,
and as we sailed back
to civilisation, I realised th .
Hey!
No, Tuesday! Bad goat!
Bad goat!
NARRATOR: Haven't the Squirrels
done well today, Duggee?
Oh?
Well done, Squirrels.
You've earned
your island badge.
-SQUIRRELS: Yay!
-[HORN BLOWS]
NARRATOR:
Ah, and here are your parents.
Just time for one more thing.
SQUIRRELS: Duggee hug!
-Aww.
-Duggee Hug.
[SQUIRRELS LAUGH]
SQUIRRELS:
We got our island badges!
[SQUIRRELS EXCLAIM
AFFECTIONATELY]
NARRATOR: Bye-bye, everybody.
-Well, that was fun, wasn't it?
-[CRUNCHING]
Oh, Tuesday.
NARRATOR: Tag,
isn't it time for...
[GASPS]
Duggee!
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
SQUIRRELS: Duggee!
NARRATOR: Duggee!
[WOOFS]
SQUIRRELS: Duggee!
[SQUIRRELS LAUGH]
SQUIRRELS: Hey, Duggee!
NARRATOR: Duggee
and the sleeping badge.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[SOUNDS INCREASING IN TEMPO]
[SOUNDS DECREASING IN TEMPO]
[SIGHS]
I'm thirsty.
SQUIRRELS: [INHALING] Me, too.
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Good idea, Duggee.
Time for a glass of...
SQUIRRELS: Milk!
[SLURPING]
[IN SUCCESSION]
I love milk!
[IN SUCCESSION]
Me too!
[YAWNING]
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Yes, Duggee.
Perhaps it's time for a little.
But I'm not sleepy!
[SNORING]
NARRATOR: Roly has
the right idea, squirrels.
SQUIRRELS: Yeah...
Come on, then, everyone.
[SLOW GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS WEARILY]
Mmm.
Once upon a time, there was
an arithmetic problem.
[SIGHS IN RELIEF]
...and then the algebra wizard
flew through the window...
[SNORING]
NARRATOR: Oh, look.
Sleepy squirrels.
TAG: Duggee.
I can't get to sleep!
NARRATOR: Well,
Duggee could help you, Tag, be.
[WOOFS]
...he's got his sleeping badge.
SQUIRRELS: Yay...
[LULLABY MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: There are lots
of different ways to get to sl.
[WOOFS]
See how Enid's getting
ready for her cat nap?
[MEOWS]
Oh, yeah.
[MEOWS]
[PURRING]
Well, Duggee, I think
that's done the trick.
[WOOFS]
TAG: Still can't sleep, Duggee.
It's too light.
NARRATOR: Oh, but lots of animas
sleep in the day time, Tag.
[WOOFS]
Look, they're nocturnal.
[YAWNING]
Like the badger.
He burrows underground
where it's nice and dark.
I'm going to burrow.
Like a badger.
[SNORING]
TAG: Still can't sleep!
[SIGHS WEARILY]
It's too warm under there.
NARRATOR: Yes, sleeping undergrd
isn't for everyone.
[WOOFS]
Indeed, Duggee.
Some animals sleep
above the ground, like bats,
who sleep hanging upside down.
Uh...
Still can't sleep!
Oh, never mind, Tag.
There are many other ways
to get to sleep.
[WOOFS]
Yes, some animals
sleep standing up.
[SNORING]
Still can't sleep.
Well, turtles sleep
with everything tucked in.
[SIGHS]
Still can't sleep.
Other animals like to sleep
while holding on to something.
No, still can't sleep.
Hmm...
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Oh, yes, then
there's sea otters.
[WOOFS]
Of course,
Californian sea otters.
They hold hands
when they're sleeping
so they don't drift
away from each other.
[EXCLAIMING AFFECTIONATELY]
Still can't sleep.
[WOOFS]
Oh. Good example, Duggee.
The Arctic ice mole.
Did you know?
To hibernate, they burrow
[WOOFS]
Sorry, Duggee,
you're absolutely right.
It's 40 metres down.
I was thinking of
the potholing possum.
[DUGGEE WOOFS]
Yeah, that's right, Duggee.
The one who sleeps
in the underground caverns
of the Canadian tundra for
exactly 37 days and nights.
[DUGGEE WOOFS]
Are you sure
it's 36 days, Duggee?
[WOOFS]
Really?
Is it only the Nordic night
owl who does that?
[WOOFS]
But the Western Wallaby
does that, too.
[WOOFS]
You know, the one that
sleeps in its mother's pouch.
Mummy!
Mumsy!
Mum!
Aren't you
a bit old for this now?
-[WOOFS]
-Good question, Duggee.
My favourite has to be
the Bermuda bedtime bee.
-And yours?
-[DUGGEE WOOFS]
Oh, yes! Who doesn't love
the Senegalese slumber monkey
who bounces while asleep?
[TAG SNORING]
Huh?
I say, I think
our knowledge of wildlife
really helped Tag get to sleep.
Haven't they done well today?
Well done, Squirrels.
You've earned
your sleeping badge.

What are you doing?
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Ooh!
Making banana muffins.
Delicious!
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
Huh?
Eek!
NARRATOR: Oh,
don't worry, Norrie.
That noise was only thunder.
Thunder?
NARRATOR: Yes, Tag.
Sometimes, when it rains,
you get thunder and...
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
-...lightning!
-Huh?
We don't like thunder.
Or lightning.
[MEOWS]
ROLY: Wow!
Whoa!
[GIGGLES]
Aren't you scared, Roly?
ROLY: No!
[CHUCKLES]
But everyone's scared
of something.
Aren't they, Duggee?
[WOOFS]
ROLY: [GASPS] Duggee!
I think I'm scared of the dark.
[CHUCKLES, WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Don't worry, Roly.
Lights often go out during...
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
...a thunderstorm.
But they usually come
back on in a moment.
-Huh?
-NARRATOR: Squirrels?
ALL: Duggee!
[ENID PURRS]
I feel shaky, Duggee.
Me too.
My tummy feels
all wobbly inside.
Aren't you scared, Duggee?
[WOOFS]
Of anything?
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Oh, yes.
Duggee used to be scared
of something once, but then...
[WOOFS]
...he managed to get
his brave banana badge.
-So what...
-[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
...were you scared of, Duggee?
[WOOFS]
[TREMBLES, WOOFS]

Duggee was a pup,
he spent many
a happy afternoon
wandering the hills
and mountains.
[WOOFS]
[HORN BLARES]
[HOWLS]
These lessons
have really paid off.
What did you do, Duggee?
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Well, Duggee decided
to think of something
that made him really happy...
[SLURPS]
Ah.
[HORN BLARES]
NARRATOR: ...so he wouldn't
notice the things
that made him really scared.
ALL: Ooh!
NARRATOR: Perhaps you could try
and find your own happy places
to make you feel brave.
[LIGHTNING CRASHES]
ALL: Okay.
I'll go first.
Think happy thoughts.
Happy thoughts, happy thoughts.
[CLIP-CLOPPING]
Yeah!
Happy thoughts, happy thoughts,

Hmm.

That's better.
Thanks, Duggee.
-[WATER DRIPPING]
-HAPPY: Drip!
Drip!
Drip!
Drip!
NARRATOR: Oh, dear, Duggee.
You didn't quite
turn off the tap.
[WOOFS]
HAPPY: Drip!
HAPPY: Aww.
But I like water.
NARRATOR: Yes, Happy,
but we can't waste it.
[WOOFS]
It won't run out.
The tap will make more.
No, Norrie,
the tap doesn't make water,
whales make water!
Yeah!
Then, it bounces.
On jellyfish!
Over the sea.
Then, little bugs catch it
in little buckets.
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
And put it in the tap.
That's right!
NARRATOR: Um, that's
not exactly it, Squirrels.
ALL: Huh?
Then where does water come from?
[DUGGEE WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Well,
Duggee can show you.
He has his Water Badge.
Water?
Everyone loves water!
[SLURPING]
[SIGHING]
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: That's right, Duggee.
The water we drink starts in
the sea.
Wow!
The sea!
It's so big.
And blue.
And wavy.
And wet.
[SQUIRRELS GIGGLE]
So is this the water we drink,
Duggee?
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: No, Tag,
it's not ready to drink yet.
When is it ready, Duggee?
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: Well, first the sun
has to do its job.
-The sun?
-[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: When the sun
heats the sea,
little drops of it
go up and up into the sky.
And can you guess
what they turn into?
Birds!
NARRATOR: [CLEARS THROAT]
No, Roly.
No, no, no.
They turn into a...
Cloud!
[WOOFS]
ALL: Wow!
Look at us.
We're clouds, too!
We're so fluffy.
And light.
[SQUIRRELS GIGGLE]
We're moving!
We're moving!
[SQUIRRELS GIGGLE]
But you can't
drink a cloud, Duggee.
[WOOFS]
NARRATOR: You're right, Tag.
But, after a while, the cloudsd
the little droplets in anymore.
So they have to let them go.
[WHIMPERS]
[SIGHS]
NARRATOR: And the water
falls back down.
Yay!
We're rain.
I love being rain.
Are we going to splash?
NARRATOR: Yes, Happy.
The rain lands, and forms...
ALL: Ooh!
...a river.
ALL: Yay!
[DUGGEE WOOFS]
NARRATOR: The river
runs down the hill.
ALL: Whee!
SQUIRRELS: Like this?
Yay! Splash, splash, splash.
-[WOOFS]
-[SQUIRRELS GIGGLE]
NARRATOR: And, then,
the water gently flows along
until it reaches
a lake.
HAPPY: Is this is
where the whale is?
[WOOFS]
No water bouncing?
[WOOFS]
On jellyfish?
[WOOFS]
Or bugs with buckets?
[WOOFS]
So how does the water
get in the tap?
I know!
Do you, Roly?
Yes! Through a big straw!
[SIGHS]
NARRATOR: Well, in a sense,
you're right, Roly.
What?
Hee!
[WOOFS]
You see, the water
gets sucked up...
[BUBBLING]
...through a big pipe
and goes...
Up and down!
And round and round.

it comes out of...

Wow. Water is amazing.
