It is Tag's birthday and Duggee has put up a bouncy castle to celebrate. It's a lovely sunny day, and the squirrels are all excited. They are just about to get bouncing when a big, gloomy cloud settles down and falls asleep right over the bouncy castle. How can they wake it up? Well, they could bounce up and tell it to move. Is this something Hedgley the hedgehog can help them with?
Duggee decides to make an omelette but there are no eggs in the basket. Where are all the chickens, and why aren't they laying any eggs? The chickens need some exercise! Thank goodness for Hennie the ostrich and her exercise fitness. Watch the squirrels work out with the chickens to Hennie's funky tunes.
It's a scorcher of a day. Luckily Duggee has a big paddling pool. Yippee! First of all, they need help with blowing up the pool and filling it with water. Thank goodness for Ethel the elephant, she can do everything. Time for the squirrels to have lots of fun. Watch Tag, Betty, Norrie, Happy and Roly and all their animal friends have fun in the pool under the watchful eye of lifeguard Duggee.
The squirrels hear an echoey voice coming from the top of a castle's spooky tower. Someone is calling them - but who is it? Duggee and the squirrels go off to investigate but first they have to get inside the castle. Good job Duggee knows how. Prepare to be taken on a huge chase around the castle before the squirrels finally discover who is making all that mischief and noise at the top of the castle.
Duggee is cleaning out his cupboard when he comes across Bucky, his old rocking horse. He wants to show the squirrels how to ride the horse but Bucky is very old and needs to be fixed first. The squirrels help Duggee to mend Bucky so he feels brand new again and in return they get to ride him. Cowboy, circus trapeze artist, knight in shining armour, racing jockey! It's all happening in the clubhouse! Yee-haw!
Oh dear, poor Norrie is sick. Can the squirrels think of something to cheer her up? Happy suggests a get well soon card! What a good idea! Glitter, glue, feathers and paint! Duggee takes the squirrels to visit Norrie but along the way they come across a hungry panda, a poorly frog and a coughing caterpillar. Can the squirrels think of how to cheer them up too?
It's a lovely day, so Duggee and the squirrels are outside. They bump into worm but oh dear! He's swallowed too much mud and he's making a funny noise. Hic! Worm has got the hiccups. The squirrels think it's very funny, until they get the hiccups too. Hic hic! Will Duggee be able to help them find a cure or will he start hiccupping too?
Duggee is cleaning out the workshop but it's a very big job and he needs the squirrels's help. There is a lot of stuff to carry out before they can clean up, and some of it is very interesting. The squirrels work hard but when they finish they can't find Duggee. Oh! The squirrels have built a maze out of all the things in Duggee's workshop. Duggee is right in the middle of the maze, but can the squirrels find the right way in? And once they're in, can they find the way out again?
It's a very hot day and Duggee's flowers are looking very sad. What can perk them up? Some water of course, but there's not a drop to be found. They need a bit of rain, but it's far too sunny today. How can they make the rain come? What about the rain dance! Who knows how to do a great dance? Duggee, of course! Duggee teaches the squirrels the best rain dance ever and it really does work well. Now they can all do their crazy dancing in the rain!
Norrie is upset when she sees a leaf fall from the tree. She thinks it's broken. She soon cheers up when she finds out that some trees shed their leaves in autumn, and actually it's quite good fun playing and jumping in piles of leaves. But ouch! What has Roly found stuck to his bottom? It's an acorn. Duggee explains that lots of forest animals collect acorns to eat in the winter so the squirrels decide to look and find lots of acorns to share out for everyone.
Duggee is blowing up balloons for Tino the artistic mouse's birthday. The squirrels are a little worried because Tino can be a bit grumpy! But Duggee persuades them all to go and see Tino and give him a bunch of balloons. When you give a tiny mouse a big bunch of balloons something unexpected happens. Tino starts to float up into the sky! He's having a rather good time until he gets stuck in a tree. It's time for the squirrels to come to his rescue.
Duggee is stroking Enid the cat. The Squirrels want to find animals they can stroke as well. Roly wants to stroke a bird, but they keep flying off. Betty finds a turtle, but he feels a bit too hard. Happy tries to stroke a goldfish - but it's a bit too wet. Hedgley the hedgehog is too spiky for Norrie, and Tag discovers that a slug is a bit sticky. Can anyone find a soft and cuddly animal to stroke?
Duggee uses his trusty binoculars to do some birdwatching, and of course the squirrels want to have a go too. The problem is, if you want to go birdwatching you have to be very very quiet, otherwise the birds will fly away. And being very very quiet is difficult when you have Roly with you! Bird! Bird! Bird! Can Roly remember to whisper? And is Duggee's sneeze just a little too loud?
Duggee introduces the squirrels to his friend Eugene, the leader of the Big Parade, who has lost his hat. The squirrels find him a new hat to wear from their dressing-up box, and off Eugene goes. But then - oh dear! - he hurts his leg and can't lead the parade after all. Can Duggee and the squirrels help out? You bet they can! Stand by for the best Big Parade ever!
It's a beautiful day and everyone is outside enjoying themselves in the sunshine. Everything is peaceful until Naughty Monkey starts throwing banana skins down from his branch. That won't do at all! Ethel slips up and lands with a very big bump - be careful everyone! The squirrels go and investigate. Then it's Naughty Monkey's turn to fall down... into a big hole. He's stuck! The squirrels get Duggee and together they go to help Naughty Monkey, but they have to be very careful along the way.
The squirrels are playing Copy the King when Tag falls over and bumps his knee - ouch. Duggee has his first aid badge, so he can bandage Tag up. The squirrels want to help and they practise their bandaging on Tag. They do pretty well at first, but hang on a minute... where's Tag gone? And why is that huge bandage ball rolling down the hill? Hurry up squirrels - time for a chase!
Duggee has a pot of bubble mixture, and he's blowing fantastic bubbles. It's really hard to do, but most of the squirrels eventually get the hang of it, and the clubhouse rapidly fills up with lots of bubbles. Pop pop pop. But poor old Happy just can't get it right - until he comes up with a great idea, one that will make the biggest bubble ever! Just watch out for prickly old Hedgely!
It's a day out! Duggee and the Squirrels are off on an underwater adventure with Betty's dad in his submarine. They see all the wonders of the underwater world, including a giant sea stallion and some jazz fish. And to the Squirrels, all those coloured buttons that work the submarine are just as interesting as what is outside. Betty's dad has a tricky time amusing the Squirrels. Thank goodness for the school of fish!
Duggee puts his delicious homemade apple pie on the windowsill to cool down, but the second his back is turned it's gone. Who took it? Can the Squirrels find out? Fortunately, Duggee has his detective badge - and there are some very small footprints to follow. The Squirrels go and find lots of clues to help Duggee solve the mystery. Being a detective is hard work!
Duggee is sewing a snazzy poncho, and the Squirrels want to make one too. They all get down to some sewing and it's very quiet in the clubhouse... until they hear a very loud sneeze! It's so loud that everything starts to shake. Where is it coming from? Duggee and the Squirrels go off and investigate, following the sneezes all the way to a polar bear with a very bad cold. He needs a hanky. What could they use instead?
Duggee and the Squirrels have bought Hennie a present for her birthday, but first they need to wrap it up. It's very big and will need rather a lot of paper and sticky tape. The Squirrels each choose some colourful paper and get wrapping. It's all going very well until the very last bit of paper and sticky tape. Who ever said this was going to be easy?
Duggee and the Squirrels take their teddy bears out for a picnic. But hang on - who does that huge teddy belong to? Oh! That's not a teddy at all! It's Beryl, and she's a real bear! She wants to join in the fun but has no teddy of her own, so the Squirrels make her one using sticks, leaves, acorns... and a big pink sock! Now Beryl can join the picnic with everyone else.
It's a busy day at the clubhouse! The Squirrels are doing everything - reading, drawing, watering plants, running, dancing, making things, splashing in water and much more. They're so busy that they tire themselves out, so Duggee suggests they have a break and listen to a story with milk and cookies. Good idea, Duggee. He reads the Squirrels a story about Cookie the dog. It's a simply little story... that is, until the Squirrels join in with their ideas!
Duggee is playing with his train set. Choo-choo! It's amazing. The squirrels are curious and want to know all about it. Duggee explains that it is a toy but it works exactly like a real train. Hennie arrives and she has a train too. The squirrels ask if they can play with it. You can't play with it; you can play IN it says Hennie. All aboard!
Duggee and the Squirrels are going camping. They need to find somewhere to pitch their tent but it's not as easy as they thought it would be. They all work together and finally get settled. But Tag realises he can't sleep without his teddy, and Happy would like a glass of water. Suddenly Duggee is up and down and in and out of the tent getting everything the Squirrels need. In fact, Duggee works so hard that he's the first to fall asleep.
It's winter and it's dark and too cold to play outside. The Squirrels wonder what Duggee is up to, he seems to be looking through a long stick out of the window. What's that, Duggee? Duggee explains that it's a telescope, and he's looking at things far far away in space. The Squirrels are keen to have a go too but first Duggee tells them about the solar system, and in order to help him they must all dress up as planets!
It's that beautiful time of the year. The birds are tweeting and all the crops are looking ripe and ready to pick. Duggee is getting ready to harvest them. The squirrels remember when they planted their seeds, watered them, and left them to grow, and now it's time to help Duggee pick them all. BUT - there are lots of crops, and this could take FOREVER!
Norrie is having fun looking at nature in the garden. When Roly wants to join in, she tells him he needs to be really quiet – but he gets overexcited, shouting so loudly that he scares a lovely butterfly away! Norrie is put out because Roly did the opposite of what she said. When Roly asks what an opposite is, Norrie struggles to explain.Luckily, Duggee has his Opposites Badge and helps the squirrels understand by using lots of fun examples. A cacophony of creatures come out to help, showing the squirrels instances of things that are entirely different to each other and helping them earn their Opposites Badges in the process!
Tag is feeling grumpy because he didn't eat his breakfast. Luckily, Duggee has his Breakfast Badge, so he can make whatever the Squirrels would like to eat – and it turns out they all like very different things for breakfast!The Squirrels learn all about how different animals fuel themselves in the mornings, earning their Breakfast Badges in the process. Tag finally gets his toast, helping power him through the day. Well done Squirrels!
Duggee is putting up a picture of himself and the old friends he grew up with, who are just like family to him. This inspires the Squirrels to take a photo of their own, so they take turns getting smartened up for the camera with varying degrees of success.After a number of experimental poses, they eventually settle on the perfect composition, until Tag spots Enid – she's part of the family too, so shouldn't she be in the photo? Then Norrie spots Frog... he surely needs to be in the photo as well. One by one, the Squirrels spot more and more members of the extended clubhouse family that absolutely must be included in the picture, sending Duggee on a wild goose chase far and wide to round them all up. But will he get back to the camera in time to make it into the photograph himself?
Duggee is working on an inventory of the clubhouse's supplies to plan for the future. The Squirrels wonder what the future is like - will Enid still be a cat? Could the clubhouse be in space? Luckily, Duggee has his Future Badge and many theories about the answers to their questions.The Squirrels are transported to a very different-looking future clubhouse, with a very different-sounding robot Duggee! The Squirrels are delighted with some of the things this future has to offer: talking teddy bears, ballgames with jetpacks, the strange plant-creatures of future gardening and future food, which can transform into whatever you want to eat.However, they are less impressed with future nap time, which is a bit too 'efficient' for their liking. So Duggee transports them back to the familiar old clubhouse they all know and love.
Tino the artistic mouse is trying to paint a picture of Duggee but cannot get it right, which infuriates him no end. As he tells the Squirrels: seeking perfection is his whole philosophy! The squirrels don't know what that is, so Duggee explains: a philosophy is a set of rules that you live by. But the rules exist in your head – it's about how you think, not just what you think about.The Squirrels look to questions asked by famous philosophers of the past and some more familiar friends for inspiration, and soon join in with their own ideas. Norrie wants to seek out new horizons, and Happy's philosophy is just, well, to be Happy. Tino's struggle for perfection inspires Tag, who decides his philosophy is that he wants to help people - starting with Tino.
Duggee is showing the Squirrels how to bake an apple pie, and they all get very excited about eating it. But if there are six bakers and only one pie, how will they all get to eat? Luckily, Duggee has his Sharing Badge! The Squirrels learn how to divide one carrot between two hungry rabbits, one sofa between three soap-opera-addicted chickens, one jug of water between four thirsty birds, one bunch of flowers between five busy bees, and most importantly one pie between six Squirrels! Everyone gets their own slice of pie and their Sharing Badges to boot.
Betty is reading a story out loud to the other Squirrels that is set 'a long, long time ago'. The Squirrels wonder how long ago that is. The narrator explains that it's everything that's ever happened – and it's called history.The Squirrels are excited to learn about it, and luckily Duggee has his History Badge – and a home-made time machine - to give them a very interactive lesson all about it! The Squirrels go on a whistle-stop tour through time and encounter all manner of characters, from naughty prehistoric monkeys to pirates of the high seas, from Isaac Newton to Shakespeare, with everyone becoming inspired as they go. History is FUN - but eventually it's time to go home and collect their History Badges. Well done Squirrels!
Tino the artistic mouse is in town for an art show he is putting on, and anyone can enter! The Squirrels are excited to get in on the action, but struggle with the idea of inspiration.Duggee and the narrator explain that inspiration is anything that gives you an idea, and that you can find it in lots of different places - such as nature, which inspires Norrie to make a collage, or your passions, which inspire Roly to make a potato out of a rock. The others are still struggling, but after learning that you can be inspired by your senses, your friends or even yourself, and that your art can be realistic, abstract, neat or messy, inspiration strikes them all in different ways. The Squirrels manage to submit their artwork in time for Tino's Woodland Biennale, earning their Art Badges in the process. Bravo Squirrels!
The Squirrels are excited to go to a black-and-white gala at King Tiger's house. On arrival, they're impressed with King Tiger's party crown and its resplendent red ruby centrepiece, even if his composure is somewhat ruined by frequent and giant sneezes.The Squirrels set about testing out Duggee's golden rules for party etiquette by mingling with fellow guests but get a suspiciously lukewarm response. When King Tiger suddenly cries out that his ruby has gone missing, the party turns into a mystery to be solved. Luckily, Duggee has his Mystery Badge!The Squirrels gather everyone together to examine the evidence of their suspicious behaviour and narrow down the list of potential culprits to... King Tiger! Or rather to his giant sneezes, which made the ruby come loose and fly into a trifle. King Tiger is reunited with his ruby, the Squirrels get their Mystery Badges, and everyone gets to eat the trifle!
The Squirrels are exploring in the attic when Roly finds an old cassette tape. After digging out his hi-fi, Duggee is delighted to discover it’s one of his old mixtapes! The Squirrels learn that a mixtape is a collection of all your favourite songs. And this isn’t just any old mixtape - it’s a selection of Duggee’s greatest hits that he recorded himself!
Duggee’s old friend Clarence arrives at the Clubhouse, but he has lost his Christmas cheer. He used to love Christmas, but everything seems to be getting bigger, louder and faster, and it’s quite exhausting! The Squirrels decide to show Clarence some Christmas hospitality and make him a special Christmas by combining everything that they love most about the holiday. They make Clarence realise that Christmas is all about the little things, and that is what really makes Christmas so special. The Squirrels may not realise it, but they may have saved Christmas as well as earning their Christmas Badges.
When Duggee’s old friend Rhodri goes home after a visit, he forgets his favourite hat. No worries, the Squirrels can run after him and give it back. They take all sorts of transport to catch Rhodri, and he is always one step ahead. Until finally, they’re on a raft across the sea and land right by Rhodri’s front door. Is he delighted to get his old hat back? Very. What a journey!
Out for a walk, the Squirrels spot an interesting poster - it’s King Tiger advertising his Roar Talent Show. Naturally, the Squirrels are very keen to take part. First, they need to find their talents. After they spend some time searching, Narrator explains that ‘finding their talents’ means working out what they are good at. So, the Squirrels practise their skills until they are ready to face an audience.
Duggee is encouraging the Squirrels to come outside by gesturing through the window. They don’t understand what he’s doing and think it’s funny. When he comes inside, a bit exasperated, he explains that he was miming. They want to know what miming is, and Duggee fondly recalls his days as a young Parisian street performer. The Squirrels are keen to learn how to mime, and Duggee runs them through the basics.
It’s news time at the Clubhouse, and the Squirrels share their exciting news of the week with each other. Happy got a new bath sponge, Norrie is growing a sunflower and Roly, after thinking hard if he’s got any news at all, remembers he’s getting a new brother or sister. The Squirrels have all sorts of questions to ask.
The Squirrels are playing outside, when out of a bush jumps the cutest creature they ever did see. They think it is simply adorable and tell it so… with startling results. The creature bursts into tears! The creature, whose name is Plinky, tells them her whole family are monsters, and that’s what she’s supposed to be, but she just cannot get the hang of it. The Squirrels are keen to help Plinky get in touch with her scary side. Fortunately, Duggee has his monster badge.
It's a lovely day, so everyone is playing outside. Things take a turn when Roly needs a wee, because the door is locked and Duggee has mislaid the key. The Squirrels start looking around for it, but they have no luck. Not to worry, Duggee has his metal detector, Helen. After demonstrating it to the Squirrels, they are very keen to give it a go.
