Bagpuss 1x4

Directed by

One dirty old shoe is left for Bagpuss and his friends to repair, and the mice suggest that it might be suitable for living in, which leads Madeleine to sing along with the mouse organ. Yaffle doesn't believe anyone could live in a shoe, so the mice trick him by going around and around, and appearing out of the shoe!

1. Once upon a time,

2. not so long ago,

3. there was a little girl, and her name was Emily.

4. And she had a shop.

5. There it is!

6. It was rather an unusual shop because it didn't sell anything.

7. You see, everything in that shop window

8. was a thing that somebody had once lost

9. and Emily had found and brought home to Bagpuss.

10. Emily's cat, Bagpuss.

11. The most important,

12. the most beautiful,

13. the most magical

14. saggy, old cloth cat in the whole wide world.

15. Well, now, one day, Emily found a thing.

16. And she brought it back to the shop

17. and put it down in front of Bagpuss

18. who was in the shop window,

19. fast asleep as usual.

20. But then, Emily said some magic words:

21. "Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss,

22. old fat furry cat-puss,

23. wake up and look at this thing that I bring

24. Wake up, be bright, be golden and light.

25. Bagpuss, oh, hear what I sing!"

26. And Bagpuss was wide awake.

27. And when Bagpuss wakes up, all his friends wake up, too.

28. The mice on the mouse organ woke up and stretched.

29. Madeleine the rag doll.

30. Gabriel the toad.

31. And last of all, Professor Yaffle

32. who is a very distinguished old woodpecker.

33. He climbed down off his bookend

34. and went to see what it was that Emily had brought.

35. Nerp, nerp, nerp, nerp.

36. Well, it's quite obvious what that is.

37. That is one dirty old shoe

38. without any laces.

39. Whatever is the use of one shoe?

40. You can't wear it. You'd have to hop everywhere!

41. You can't do anything with it!

42. Oh, yes, you can.

43. You can do something with it old shoes is good shoes.

44. We can do things with it.

45. Oh, yes. Yes?

46. Well, what can you do with an old shoe?

47. You can live in it! Live in it?

48. Yes, of course!

49. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe!

50. Come on, mice,

51. have you got a roll of music for your mouse organ?

52. Heave, heave, heave.

53. The Marvellous Mechanical

54. Mouse Organ.

55. Nerp, nerp, nerp. Is that, all?

56. You see! You can live in a shoe.

57. Can live in a shoe. You can live in a shoe!

58. Can! Can! Can!

59. Oh, fiddlesticks and flapdoodle!

60. That old woman lived in a great big boot.

61. How many people could live in a little pink shoe like that?

62. You count them!

63. Yaffle, count them, come on!

64. You count them!

65. Oh, very well.

66. One, two, three...

67. Four...

68. Five, six...

69. Seven...

70. Eight...

71. Nine...

72. Ten, 11, 12...

73. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.

74. Oh, stop! Stop! Stop!

75. This is getting very silly. Too silly!

76. I will not have anything more to do with you

77. until you are properly serious.

78. Nerp, nerp, nerp, nerp.

79. Ooh. Well, it doesn't look

80. a very serious sort of shoe to me.

81. I'm sure there are lots of things

82. one can use one shoe for.

83. Lots of things, uh...

84. if I can think of any.

85. I can think of one.

86. Oh, can you Charlie mouse?

87. Well, you tell me what you think and I'll think, too.

88. I would like to sail it.

89. Sail it?

90. Yes, sail it like a boat,

91. sail it down the stream!

92. Oh! Yes, sail it.

93. Yes! Sail the boat!

94. A boat. Fetch the engine.

95. Fetch the sails. Come on!

96. - Fetch the paddles! Yes!

97. Look! These will do!

98. Look! Feathers for oars.

99. We'll row it with those! Fix them in these holes.

100. That's good! That will make a boat.

101. Get aboard all who are sailing.

102. All aboard.

103. Are you ready, Gabriel?

104. Yes, I'm ready!

105. ♪♪ They searched the dishes

106. Nerp, nerp, nerp. You're quite right there!

107. What a lot of bosh indeed!

108. I've never heard such rubbish!

109. I've never heard such a smelly sticky song!

110. That song can't possibly

111. have done any good at all

112. to that poor shoe.

113. That's a good song.

114. Yes! Mouse like that song.

115. That's orange squash song!

116. Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Go away!

117. I love it!

118. Fiddlesticks and flapdoodle!

119. Stop quarrelling at once!

120. I'm sure it is a lovely song

121. if you happen to like that sort of thing.

122. But Yaffle is quite right.

123. We should be looking after the shoe,

124. not singing songs, and playing about.

125. It's time for working now, not for singing.

126. Now, mice, if you look in my work-box

127. you will find some fine satin ribbon for laces

128. and some glittery sequins to stick on the shoe

129. to make it look pretty.

130. Oh, yes, and some of you must brush it

131. and clean it carefully.

132. All right?

133. Well, what are you all standing there for?

134. Mice like to sing.

135. Mice not sing,

136. mice not work!

137. Mice strike.

138. Oh, indeed!

139. Oh, all right, mice.

140. You can sing, as long as you work as well.

141. Oh, yes, that is much better!

142. Much, much better.

143. Look everybody!

144. A beautiful ballet shoe

145. fit for a prima ballerina!

146. Nerp, nerp! What? What? Eh? Eh?

147. What is a prima ballerina?

148. Don't you know that?

149. Don't you know that?

150. Well, Yaffle, I thought you knew everything!

151. Well, not everything.

152. Hmm, not quite everything!

153. A prima ballerina is a ballet dancer.

154. The chief ballet dancer,

155. the most important dancer of all who dances all by herself.

156. Somebody help me!

157. Yes, that's it.

158. Heave, heave, heave, heave.

159. The marvellous mechanical

160. prima ballerina!

161. Nerp, nerp, nerp, nerp!

162. How charming, charming! Oh, quite charming.

163. Oh, delightful.

164. Oh, I am moved!

165. What a delightful young lady.

166. Oh, mice, dear, mice.

167. Do please wind her up and play her again.

168. Oh! Oh! Oh!

169. Oh, oh, dear, I'm a bit tied up.

170. Oh, oh! Oh, dear.

171. Be careful! Oh, mice! mice!

172. Unwind that foolish woodpecker and put the shoe in the window.

173. Nerp, nerp, nerp, nerp.

174. So the mice pulled the shoe

175. to the front of the window and left it there.

176. so that if a prima ballerina should happen to come past,

177. she would see it and come in to collect it.

178. Bagpuss gave a big yawn

179. and settled down to sleep.

180. And of course, when Bagpuss goes to sleep,

181. all his friends go to sleep, too.

182. The mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.

183. Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.

184. And Professor Yaffle was a carved wooden bookend

185. in the shape of a woodpecker.

186. Even Bagpuss himself,

187. once he was asleep,

188. was just an old, saggy cloth cat,

189. baggy and a bit loose at the seams.

190. But Emily loved him.
