Season 5

The Squirrels are admiring Duggee’s crop of giant carrots when they hear a noise. They find the Rabbits busy preparing for the Carrot Solstice.

The Squirrels are looking for Duggee but can’t find him. Instead, they find someone they think is Enid, only much too big... Duggee has painted his face to look like Enid! Of course, the Squirrels want their faces painted too, so Duggee sets to it.

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.

All the Squirrels are having a fine old time playing with the hose. All except one, poor Tag whose feet hurt. 'Why do my feet hurt?', he asks Duggee. While Duggee has a think, he tells them ‘why’ is a great question, and the Squirrels are quick to follow up.

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.

The day starts when Duggee moves a cupboard, and the Squirrels find a dusty, old book behind it. It’s Duggee’s diary from when he was a teenager! The Squirrels aren’t sure what a diary is, so Duggee explains by reading some extracts. The Squirrels are keen to write diaries of their own.

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.

The Squirrels find Duggee’s cheerleader pompoms, so he shows them his old moves. It's time to practise: Duggee at the chess board, the Squirrels as a squad. There’s a big match ahead...

When they’re accidentally locked in a shed, Duggee shows the Squirrels how to make the time pass with calm breathing and made-up games. The Squirrels cope very well. Does Duggee?

The Squirrels haven’t been making good choices round the messy clubhouse. With Duggee’s help, they start to get it right - but not before sending Roly’s imagination into overdrive!

Duggee loves to shop locally, so the big shop is a big deal for him. He’s overexcited and wants two of everything. The Squirrels have to remind him that they only popped in for milk!

When Duggee gets a card from someone he loves, the Squirrels ask if he still loves them. In a show-stopping song, Delivery Chipmunk proves the answer is a resounding yes.
