00:00Today, Rupert tries to be of some help in Rupert and the Light Situation.
00:30There's a million stories to be told, all the things that he's done, and he's gonna share them all with you, so come along.
00:43Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name.
00:50Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
00:57In all of his name.
01:05What do you think I heard at school today? exclaims Rupert, hurrying into the living room.
01:11I've no idea, but I'm sure you're going to tell us, says Mrs Bear, smiling.
01:17Well, last night all the lights went out in the next village.
01:23Perhaps a wire broke, says Mr Bear.
01:26Oh yes, I didn't think of that.
01:30If all the lights go out in Nutwood, whatever will we do?
01:34Don't worry Mummy, I'll go and see the inventor.
01:38I'll give you some cakes for him, says Mrs Bear.
01:42Rupert seeks the inventor's aid, because his mother is afraid.
01:48For if the lights go out at night, he thinks she'll have an awful fright.
01:52Rupert arrives at the inventor's house, and knocks on the front door several times.
02:00Eventually, the door is opened.
02:02I hope I haven't disturbed you, sir, but I...
02:06Why, Rupert Bear, it's you, interrupts the inventor.
02:10Oh, sorry, sir.
02:12I thought perhaps you might be asleep, says Rupert, holding up the bag of cakes for him to see.
02:18Mummy asked me to give you these.
02:20Shall I come in?
02:22I suppose so, now that you're here.
02:24Did you want me for anything?
02:26Yes, sir.
02:28Mummy's rather worried in case the lights go out in Nutwood, explains Rupert.
02:33Oh, you'd better follow me.
02:35At the moment, I am trying to produce light without electricity, says the inventor.
02:41In the laboratory, there are flashing lights and crackling noises going on.
02:47Sir, what are these worm-like creatures in this plastic box for?
02:52Asks Rupert eagerly.
02:54Oh, don't touch them, Rupert.
02:56It's taken me ages to get the number I need for my experiment.
02:59They really are a kind of beetle, but funnily enough, they are called glow worms, explains the inventor.
03:08I know why they get that name.
03:10Because they glow, replies Rupert, laughing.
03:13But why have you got them for an experiment, sir?
03:16Well, you see, when it is dark, they give off light.
03:20I am trying to discover how they make it.
03:24What a splendid idea, sir.
03:26You might become famous if you get that problem solved.
03:30You're right when you call it a problem, Rupert.
03:33That's exactly what it is.
03:35I must go now.
03:37I'll tell Mummy that you're working on the light situation.
03:40That's right.
03:41Please thank her for the cakes that she kindly sent me.
03:44Go along, Rupert, or I'll never get started.
03:48Rupert flies off.
03:52On his way back home, he flies over Tiger Lily's house.
03:56Oh, there's Tiger Lily in the garden.
03:59Her father is a Chinese magician.
04:02And he might have some idea about lights.
04:06Hello, Tiger Lily, calls Rupert as he lands his chariot.
04:10Is your father at home?
04:12Yes, he is.
04:14Do you want to speak to him?
04:16The Chinese magician is busy playing tricks with a table.
04:20Hello, Rupert.
04:22What can I do for you?
04:24Asks the Chinese magician.
04:26Do you know what?
04:28The inventor is trying to produce light without electricity, says Rupert.
04:32That is very interesting, replies the magician.
04:36But we Chinese have our own lights.
04:39I know what we'll do.
04:41Have you got your chariot with you, Rupert?
04:44Yes, it's outside.
04:46Very good.
04:47Come, let us go.
04:49I hope you're not too squashed, sir, says Rupert.
04:53I'm afraid there's not much room.
04:57Very soon you will know, Rupert.
05:00But not everyone depends upon electricity for light, explains the magician.
05:05The chariot starts its journey east.
05:08The magician knows the way at least.
05:10He's off to see his native land.
05:13And soon in China they will land.
05:16Where are we?
05:19He asks, looking round.
05:21I have brought us to my homeland, replies the magician.
05:25We are going to meet my sister.
05:28Aunt Fulong, father.
05:30Oh, Rupert, you are like her.
05:33It's all rather confusing to me at the moment.
05:36Ah, it soon won't be.
05:39Leave everything to me, laughs the magician.
05:42Ah, here comes my aunt.
05:45She must have been shopping.
05:47What a pleasant surprise.
05:49I have been to buy some new lanterns and I meet you, says Aunt Fulong.
05:55That is the reason we are here, remarks the magician.
05:59Why not come and have tea with me and explain everything, says Aunt Fulong.
06:04In the room there are several lanterns hanging from the ceiling.
06:11What beautiful lights they have here, says Rupert looking up.
06:16You see, Robert, light without electricity.
06:20Don't quite understand.
06:22Oh, yes.
06:23I think I know now, Rupert pauses.
06:28Yes, I have it.
06:29The lanterns have candles inside.
06:32Therefore, no need for electricity.
06:35Here comes tea, exclaims Tiger Lily.
06:38I hope you like china tea, Robert, says Aunt Fulong.
06:43Yes, thank you.
06:45I am very pleased that you brought me here, says Rupert looking around.
06:50There, everyone is happy.
06:53I think that we had better go now, remarks the magician.
06:56There you are, Rupert.
06:58Take these back to your mummy.
07:00You'll never know.
07:01She might need them one day, says Aunt Fulong, bringing two lovely Chinese lanterns.
07:08Oh, thank you.
07:10She'll be so pleased.
07:12Mummy was wondering what she would do without any electric light.
07:15Now there's no problem.
07:17Rupert, Tiger Lily and her father say goodbye to Aunt Fulong.
07:22To return to Rupert's chariot.
07:25You're right about your aunt, Tiger Lily.
07:28I do like her.
07:30He looks at the lanterns.
07:32Not because she gave me these.
07:34She's just nice.
07:36After dropping Tiger Lily and her father, Rupert goes straight home.
07:40I bet mummy will be surprised when I give her the Chinese lanterns.
07:45Rupert sees his mother watering the flowers.
07:49He's carrying the lanterns carefully.
07:52You'll never guess what I've got for you, mummy.
07:55They're very extra special, cries Rupert eagerly.
07:59Whatever are they, dear?
08:01They look beautiful.
08:03And you say they're for me?
08:05Asks Mrs. Bear.
08:06Yes, they're lanterns.
08:08All the way from China, says Rupert proudly.
08:12From China?
08:13Whatever next, dear.
08:15You won't have to worry about the lights anymore now.
08:18No, I won't.
08:20Did you go and see the inventor?
08:22Asks Mrs. Bear.
08:23Oh, yes.
08:24He thanks you for your cakes, says Rupert.
08:27What about me sending him one of these lanterns, in case his lights fail?
08:32I don't really need two.
08:34Yes, I'll take it to him right away.
08:37Be sure to tell him that when he wants it alight, he has to light the candle inside, explains Mrs. Bear.
08:44I will.
08:46I can just see him putting his glow worms inside the lantern and waiting for the light to show through, laughs Rupert.
08:52The inventor is still busy in his laboratory.
08:55You haven't made your discovery yet, have you, sir?
08:58If I had, I would probably have sent for you, Rupert.
09:02What do you want this time?
09:04I don't want anything.
09:06I've brought you something, says Rupert, trying hard not to let the inventor see the lantern.
09:11Oh, come along.
09:12I haven't all day to play games, you know, urges the inventor.
09:15You're hiding something.
09:16What is it?
09:17As you've not made your light discovery yet, I've brought you something that might solve everything.
09:23Everything?
09:24Asks the inventor, surprised.
09:26Yes, sir.
09:28Here you are.
09:29That's for you.
09:30How can I thank you?
09:33Ah, perhaps a few glow worms.
09:36Would you like some?
09:38Yes, I would.
09:40Thanks, says Rupert, holding out his hand.
09:43Here you are.
09:45Put them in a box with air holes and don't forget to feed them.
09:49The inventor gives the glow worms to Rupert.
09:52Oh, they tickle.
09:54I'm off home now, says Rupert, leaving the inventor looking at his lantern.
10:01Oh, Mummy, doesn't the lantern look great, exclaims Rupert, seeing it alight.
10:08But have the lights gone wrong?
10:11No, dear.
10:12But I think it looks more cosy.
10:14Don't you?
10:15Rupert, Rupert the Bell
10:18Every one come and join,
10:19Do you, do you love you?
10:20Things like it, is something true.
10:24You come on, then…
10:25There you are!
10:26You come on, but you're trying to catch me out!
10:30Can't take me out, but you're right.
10:31You're right!
10:33Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name.
10:39Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join in all of his games.
10:50Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join in all of his games.
11:03Rupert.
