00:00Today, Rupert helps Poggy find a home for a kitten in Rupert and Red Riding Hood.
00:30There's a million stories to be told, all the things that he's done, and he's gonna share them all with you, so come along.
00:43Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name. Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
00:57Rupert, Rupert, shouts Poggy, hurrying through the garden gate. I need your help. Our cat has had kittens, he explains.
01:18And I've found homes for all but one. Do you think your mummy would like a kitten?
01:23Oh no, I don't think so, Poggy. We've got a cat already.
01:27Oh, Poggy sighs. Everyone seems to have one.
01:33Have you asked Mr Grimnasty? He might like a kitten, suggests Rupert.
01:37Well, says Poggy doubtfully. Would you come with me? You know how cross he always is, he adds nervously.
01:45All right, says Rupert. Do you think Mr Grimnasty would like a kitten, Mummy? He asks as Mrs Bear comes out into the garden.
01:53Hmm. Well, there's no harm in asking anyway.
01:57Oh, hello, says Rupert, as Little Red Riding Hood passes the gate. Can we give you a lift?
02:05Oh, yes, please, Rupert. I'm going to see my granny. And it's such a long way away, says the little girl gratefully, as she climbs into the chariot.
02:15Hello, Raggedy. Is Mr Grimnasty in? Yes, he's in bed.
02:27Oh, well then, says Poggy, perhaps it wasn't a very good idea.
02:31Oh, come on, says Rupert. We're here now. It's time he was up anyway, says Red Riding Hood.
02:39As they push Mr Grimnasty's door open, a white shape rises up from the bed.
02:48A monster, shouts Poggy. It's a monster.
02:52Where, where, asks Mr Grimnasty, pulling the sheet from his head.
02:56Oh, Poggy sighs with relief. It was you.
03:01Me? I'm not a monster, cries Mr Grimnasty indignantly.
03:06Please, please, would you like a kitten, Rupert asks hastily.
03:11Mr Grimnasty's surprised. A kitten? What do I need a kitten for? I've got Raggedy.
03:18But Raggedy can't catch mice, says Poggy.
03:22And they are very sweet, adds Little Red Riding Hood.
03:26No kittens, says Mr Grimnasty firmly. I've got quite enough to do as it is.
03:32And he pulls the sheet back over his head and lies down again.
03:36Oh, well, at least we tried, sighs Rupert. Come on, let's go and see Red Riding Hood's granny.
03:43Well, maybe she would like a kitten, Poggy suggests. I really must find a home for it.
03:50Now why didn't I think of that, says Red Riding Hood delightedly.
03:55She'd love one. She hasn't got a cat.
03:58Where are you going? asks Raggedy.
04:01Why, to see my granny, Red Riding Hood explains. Can I come too?
04:06Rupert lands in front of Little Red Riding Hood's granny's house.
04:13Come on in, says Red Riding Hood, leading the way. The door is open.
04:18They all troop in after her and stop dead, staring around them in amazement.
04:26What a lovely mess, says Raggedy. For chairs are overturned and the tablecloth is on the floor,
