00:00Look up, look down, look all around, up in the air or on the ground.
00:14Come for a walk, come for a ride, there's so much to see, so come outside.
00:24Sometimes you'll find us high in a tree, look close at the ground and what do you see?
00:36You need us for letters, to let water flow, cats and dogs use us when they come and go.
00:43What are we? We're useful holes.
00:54Shhh, Pippin.
01:08Hello, me dears.
01:10There are mice living in that hole in the wall.
01:14One 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.
01:55No sign of a mouse yet.
01:59Maybe they're still asleep.
02:02Mice often sleep in the daytime and come out at night.
02:06Lots of animals live in holes.
02:12Holes in the ground.
02:14Holes in trees.
02:16And I know just the place to find them.
02:20Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:23Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:23Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:24Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:24Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:25Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:26Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:27Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:28Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:29Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:30Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:31Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:32Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:33Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:34Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:35Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:36Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:37Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:38Pippin, it's time to fly.
02:39¶¶
03:09It won't take long to get there, Pippin.
03:18Look down there.
03:20That's where we're going.
03:22The woods.
03:39Pippin, shh.
03:45We've got to be quiet as mice if we're going to see anything.
03:50Shhh.
04:00Pippin, look.
04:02Up there in the branches.
04:04It's a squirrel.
04:05Squirrels often build their nests in holes in trees.
04:13Watch where he goes.
04:16There it is.
04:18That must be his home.
04:22Come on, Pippin.
04:31I know that sound.
04:34It's a bird.
04:36A woodpecker.
04:40Woodpeckers build their nests high up in trees.
04:44In holes.
04:51Can you see a hole up there?
04:56There it is.
04:58It is a woodpecker.
04:59It's probably got a nest up there.
05:02Pippin.
05:16Pippin.
05:16Pippin.
05:18Pippin!
05:22Pippin!
05:28Dogs don't live in holes.
05:32Come on.
05:36Oh, look.
05:40A badger coming out of his hole.
05:44Lots of animals live in holes in the ground.
05:52Because 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.
06:14Yes. Look.
06:17Badger cubs.
06:27Badgers use grass to make their bed.
06:30I bet it's very warm and cosy in that hole in the ground.
06:39From the ground.
06:45A hole in the ground leads to somebody's home.
06:48It's cosy and warm inside.
06:52A badger lives there, or maybe a fox.
06:56It's somewhere they can hide.
07:00Holes, holes, here and there.
07:05Useful holes are everywhere.
07:12A hole in a tree leads to somebody's home.
07:15It's cosy and dark inside.
07:16A squirrel lives there, or woodpecker too.
07:23It's somewhere they can hide.
07:26Holes, holes, here and there.
07:29Holes, holes, here and there. Useful holes are everywhere.
07:39A hole in the box leads to somebody's home. It's cozy and safe inside.
07:48Where birds build a nest and care for their young, it's somewhere they can hide.
07:55Holes, holes, here and there. Useful holes are everywhere.
08:07A hole in a door leads to somebody's home. It's cozy and snug as can be.
08:15But who could live here? Well, it's very clear. It's home for Pippin and me.
08:22Holes, holes, here and there. Useful holes are everywhere.
08:35There goes Pippin. She likes to be able to get in and out by herself.
08:41That dog flap has been very useful and in a way I didn't expect.
08:47Let me tell you the story.
08:51It all started one day when I was having an afternoon nap.
09:04Pippin!
09:08I was fast asleep then.
09:10Now what?
09:30Oh, do you want to go out again?
09:33I can't be doing with all this.
09:42What we'd need is a dog flap.
09:46I'll put one in tomorrow.
09:49Hmm.
09:50There we are, Pippin. Now you can try it out.
10:05Come along, Pippin.
10:07Out you go.
10:08Now, Pippin could come and go as she pleased.
10:14And what a good job she could.
10:17Because later that day...
10:21There.
10:22That should be enough chips for our supper.
10:24Now, you mustn't forget the lid.
10:33Where did I put it?
10:34But when I went to the cupboard to get the lid,
10:37the door slammed shut.
10:43Oh dear.
10:44The door's stuck.
10:46Pippin!
10:48I can't get out.
10:49Oh, the chip pan.
10:55It'll catch fire if I don't do something.
10:58Pippin!
11:00Go and get help!
11:04If Pippin hadn't been able to get out,
11:07I don't know what I would have done.
11:13There I was.
11:15Stuck in the cupboard.
11:16And the chip pan was getting hotter and hotter.
11:35What's wrong then?
11:36What's wrong, Pippin?
11:38Well, Pippin barked and barked
11:41until the fireman realised something was wrong.
11:44Come on, Pippin!
11:45Come on, Pippin!
11:49Come on, Pippin.
12:19What are you doing there, aren't you, Mabel?
12:42Silly me.
12:43I got locked in and I couldn't put the fire out.
12:47And you came just in time.
12:49I'm very grateful.
12:51And thank you, Pippin.
12:53You saved my life.
12:54Let's all have a cup of tea.
12:56Good idea.
12:59And now you know just how useful a hole in the door can be.
13:10Oh, look.
13:14Shh.
13:15There's the mouse.
13:20Oh, Pippin.
13:24Thank you, Pippin.
13:26Thank you, Pippin.
13:30Thank you, Pippin.
