Isn’t It Time For…?
At the start of the episode, Roly is playing with a windmill, when he realises it’s time for Squirrel Club.
General Ant: Oh, blueberries!
What’s it all about?
Duggee is relaxing and reading his newspaper – until the wind blows it all over the garden! When the Squirrels pick it all up for him, Duggee decides to show them another thing you can do with newspaper – you can fold it into a paper boat! And a good thing too – the troop of soldier ants have a particularly perilous puddle crossing ahead of them, and need urgent assistance!
This is the episode where:
- Duggee wears glasses to read his newspaper!
- One of the ants bears more than a passing resemblance to action movie star Sylvester Stallone.
- The ants march to “Liberty Bell” by John Philip Sousa – better known to mums and dads as the theme music to “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”
What did we learn?
- You can make paper boats from newspaper, or any old scrap paper!
- You can also race boats, if you and a friend make one! Make sure a grown-up is around you if you go near water!
Well That Was Fun, Wasn’t It, Duggee?
The troop of ants at Duggee’s feet say “Sir, yes sir!”, as Duggee laughs.
