  • “Mr. Bull Digs Up The River”: Grandpa Pig is taking Peppa and George for a boat trip on the river. They meet Mr. Bull, who is digging up the river! Mr. Bull is using his digger boat to remove all the things that shouldn’t be there (like plastic bottles) and making the river nice for the fish to swim in.
  • “Granny Sheep Moves In”: Today, Granny Sheep is moving into Suzy Sheep’s house! Granny Sheep is going to be staying in the attic of their house. When she arrives, she starts moving the furniture and replacing different ornaments. Mummy Sheep is very surprised to find everything out of order when she gets home!

  • “Walkie Talkies”: Peppa and George are at Granny and Grandpa Pig’s house. They are playing with walkie talkies. Grandpa Pig teaches Peppa and George that you need to use code names to talk to each other. Policeman Panda picks up a strange signal, overhearing Pirate Hog and Jolly Face speaking to each other. He soon realizes they are talking in code! Policeman Panda follows the signals, where he is surprised to find Peppa and George in Granny and Grandpa Pig’s Garden.
  • “Peppa’s Office”: Peppa is watching Mummy and Daddy Pig working in their office at home. She decides that she would like an office to work in too. Mummy Pig sets Peppa up with a little desk, chair, pen and paper in the cupboard under the stairs. It is very cramped, but Peppa loves it like this!
  • “Little Swift”: It’s a very windy day and Peppa and her family are flying a kite when they find a little bird not flying, but on the ground. Peppa and her family take the bird to Doctor Hamster. At the vets, Doctor Hamster tells Peppa that the little bird is called a swift.
  • “What Babies Do”: Peppa and her family are driving to Cousin Chloe’s house. Aunty Pig teaches Peppa all about babies, and even lets Peppa feed Baby Alexander. Everybody loves Baby Alexander!
