00:00Look up, look down, look all around. Up in the air or on the ground. Come for a walk, come for a ride. There's so much to see, so come outside.
00:27Sometimes you'll find us high in a tree. Look close at the ground and what do you see? You need us for letters to let water flow. Cats and dogs use us when they come and go. What are we? We're useful holes.
00:57Shhh, Pippin. Hello, me dears. There are mice living in that hole in the wall. One of them might come out if we keep really quiet.
01:19A little mouse lived in a hole in the wall, which wasn't too big and wasn't too small.
01:31Just roomy enough for his father and mother, his uncle, his aunt, his sister and brother and grandma and grandad.
01:43The oldest of all. A family of mice in the hole in the wall.
01:49No sign of a mouse yet. Maybe they're still asleep. Mice often sleep in the daytime and come out at night.
02:07Lots of animals live in holes. Holes in the ground. Holes in trees. And I know just the place to find them. Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:23Bye!
02:53It won't take long to get there, Pippin.
03:15Look down there. That's where we're going.
03:21The woods.
03:43Pippin, shhh. We've got to be quiet as mice if we're going to see anything.
03:49Shhh.
04:01Pippin, look. Up there in the branches. It's a squirrel. Squirrels often build their nests in holes in trees.
04:11Watch where he goes. There it is. That must be his home. Come on, Pippin.
04:23I know that sound. It's a bird. A woodpecker.
04:37A woodpecker. Woodpeckers build their nests high up in trees. In holes.
04:49Can you see a hole up there? There it is. It is a woodpecker. It's probably got a nest up there.
05:03Pippin. Pippin. Pippin.
05:19Dogs don't live in holes. Come on.
05:35Pippin. Pippin. Pippin.
05:37Oh, look.
05:39A badger.
05:43Coming out of his hole.
05:45Oh.
05:47Lots of animals live in holes in the ground.
05:51Shhh.
05:53Because it's warm and dry and a safe place for babies.
05:59There might be a whole family of badgers living down there.
06:05If we're very quiet and still, we might see them.
06:15Yes. Look.
06:17Badger cubs.
06:21Ah.
06:27Badgers use grass to make their bed.
06:33I bet it's very warm and cosy in that hole on the ground.
06:45A hole in the ground leads to somebody's home.
06:49It's cosy and warm inside.
06:53A badger lives there.
06:55Or maybe a fox.
06:57It's somewhere they can hide.
07:01Holes, holes, here and there.
07:05Useful holes are everywhere.
07:11A hole in a tree leads to somebody's home.
07:17It's cosy and safe inside.
07:19It's cosy and dark inside.
07:21A squirrel lives there.
07:23A woodpecker too.
07:25It's somewhere they can hide.
07:29Holes, holes, holes, here and there.
07:33Useful holes are everywhere.

07:47It's cosy and safe inside.
07:49It's cosy and snug as can be.
07:59But who could live here?
08:01Well, it's very clear.
08:02It's home for Pippin and me.
08:03Holes, holes, here and there.
08:05Useful holes are everywhere.

08:23Holes, holes, here and there.
08:27Useful holes are everywhere.
08:35There goes Pippin.
08:37She likes to be able to get in and out by herself.
08:41That dog flap has been very useful
08:45and in a way I didn't expect.
08:47Let me tell you the story.
08:51It all started one day
08:53when I was having an afternoon nap.
09:05Pippin!
09:09I was fast asleep then.
09:17I was fast asleep.
09:18I was fast asleep.
09:19I was fast asleep.
09:20I was fast asleep.
09:21I was fast asleep.
09:22I was fast asleep.
09:23I was fast asleep.
09:24Now what?
09:25Oh!
09:26Do you want to go out again?
09:27I can't be doing with all this.
09:30What we'd need is a dog flap.
09:32I'll put one in tomorrow.
09:34Hmm.
09:35Hmm.
09:36There we are, Pippin.
09:37Now you can try it out.
09:38I can't be doing with all this.
09:41What we'd need is a dog flap.
09:43I'll put one in tomorrow.
09:44Hmm.
09:45Hmm.
09:46There we are, Pippin.
09:47Now you can try it out.
09:48Come along, Pippin.
09:49How'd you go?
09:50Now Pippin could come and go as she pleased.
09:51And what a good job she could.
09:52Because later that day...
09:54There we are, Pippin.
09:55There we are, Pippin.
09:56Now you can try it out.
09:59Come along, Pippin.
10:00Out you go.
10:01Now Pippin could come and go as she pleased.
10:02And what a good job she could.
10:05Because later that day...
10:06There.
10:07There.
10:08That should be enough chips for our supper.
10:09Now you mustn't forget the lid.
10:11Where did I put it?
10:12There.
10:13But, when I put the lid on the lid on the lid, the lid on the lid, the lid on the lid on the
10:18door slammed shut.
10:19Oh dear.
10:20The door's stuck.
10:21Pippin!
10:22Oh dear.
10:23The door's stuck.
10:24Pippin!
10:25Oh dear.
10:26The door's stuck.
10:27Pippin!
10:28Oh dear.
10:29The door's stuck.
10:30Pippin!
10:31Oh dear.
10:32The door's stuck.
10:33Pippin!
10:34Oh dear.
10:35Oh dear.
10:36Oh dear.
10:37Oh dear.
10:38Oh dear.
10:39Oh dear.
10:40Oh dear.
10:41Oh dear.
10:42Oh dear.
10:43Oh dear.
10:44Oh dear.
10:45Oh dear.
10:46Oh dear.
10:47Oh dear.
10:48I can't get out.
10:52Oh, the chip pan.
10:55It'll catch fire if I don't do something.
10:59Pippin, go get help.
11:05If Pippin hadn't been able to get out, I don't know what I would have done.
11:10There I was, stuck in the cupboard, and the chip pan was getting hotter and hotter.
11:36What's wrong then? What's wrong Pippin?
11:38Well, Pippin barked and barked until the firemen realised something was wrong.
12:01Come on, Pippin.
12:08Pippin!
12:12Pippin.
12:14Pippin.
12:16Pippin!
12:17What are you doing now, aren't you, Mabel?
12:42Silly me.
12:43I got locked in and I couldn't put the fire out.
12:46And you came just in time.
12:49I'm very grateful.
12:51And thank you, Pippin.
12:53You saved my life.
12:55Let's all have a cup of tea.
12:57Good idea.
13:03And now you know just how useful a hole in the door can be.
