Big Babies: episode synopses

Big Babies

Ducks
Rocco and Brooks are taken to feed the ducks in the park. Despite boasting to Rocco about his knowledge of ducks, Brooks soon loses his cool when the birds get a little too up close and personal.

Pirates
Inspired after watching Captain Blood and his dragon's treasure on TV, Brooks claims to have drawn a map showing where the treasure is and takes Rocco on a route round the park past the Circle of Dread (the roundabout) and the Pendulum of Petrifying Peril (the swings). Meanwhile, Budge is on his own mission to steal the chocolate money Carole has given the boys for their trip to the park.

Visiting Nan
Rocco and Brooks get taken along to visit Brooks' nan and Budge hitches a ride, since Nan made him and might be able to fix his dodgy eye. The boys get plonked in front of the tiny black-and-white TV and find the imposing new environment intimidating until Nan starts to play the piano and lightens the mood. In a bungled search for a new eye Budge manages to lose his good one

Market
Rocco and Brooks try out a bit of Del Boy banter when they get taken to the market and meet the Gonch whose dad runs a stall. He explains to the boys about haggling and they compete for the best bargain. Budge misses his ride to the market, so the enterprising toy launches himself out of the nursery window using a helium balloon, when he reaches the market the balloon gets popped by a seagull and Budge lands face down in a melon. The stallholder hands him to Rocco. He's got a brand new Budge for nothing. What a bargain!

Pet Shop
An outing to the pet shop leads to conflict between the boys – Brooks wants a dog, Rocco wants a hamster. All they can agree on is that, whether dog or hamster, their pet should talk. Budge, Brooks' stuffed toy with a secret life and an insatiable appetite for biscuits, sneaks along to make sure they don't get a pet at all – he doesn't need a rival for the household’s biscuits!

Birthday
It's Brooks' birthday and he announces to Rocco that it’s going to be the best birthday ever. What's more, Brooks has invited a girl to his party. Rocco is impressed. But nothing goes quite the way Brooks imagined it would, and the party ends in disaster, largely thanks to the unintentional ruining of Brooks' birthday cake by Budge. Fortunately, Brooks' day is redeemed by one small act of friendship by Rocco.

Rainy Day
Wednesday is a rainy day, so Rocco and Brooks get to do their favourite activity – staying at home and watching TV. The Frankenstein movie they're watching gives Budge the idea to make a "Frankenbudge" which will help him collect biscuits. But Frankenbudge, once brought to life, has other plans and Budge must battle his creation.

Arts & Crafts
After his picture is shown on TV, Brooks pronounces himself an artist. Carole takes Rocco and Brooks to see Biscuit Henge, a gigantic sculpture made of biscuits. But where there are biscuits, there must be Budge, and where there is Budge, there must be mayhem.
