The Potato Stand

recommended age Unlock co-watching from 2

Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda set up a potato stand in the puppet world of Someplace Else to share Donkey's home-grown potatoes with the neighbours. They try a potato call, a song and a disco dance, but every neighbour already has potatoes and complains about the long job of washing, drying and sorting them. The friends change their plan and use Grampy's potato washer-dryer-sorter-dumper machine to do that chore for everyone instead. The neighbours are grateful, and Donkey ends the day feeling potato proud, just like Grampy.

Duck Duck is hurt that Donkey did not listen, so Donkey finds her, apologizes, and admits the plan would have worked. Together they follow the plan, make the lemonade, and cool down the whole town.

Donkey Hodie and her friends Bob Dog, Duck Duck and Purple Panda wait for the yodel birds to fly past their hills. They discover the birds never sing here because they are too tired from the long journey, so the friends decide to build a rest nest where the birds can stop. The two building teams keep rushing and their tower falls down, until they learn to slow down and sort the blocks by size. The nest is finished, the yodel birds rest, and they finally yodel before continuing their trip.

Stargazing

recommended age Unlock co-watching from 2

Eddie, a boy whose favourite thing is space, gets ready to go stargazing in his garden and is joined by his friend Akeel. A guiding voice walks him through each step: choosing a clear spot, setting out chairs, a torch and binoculars, dressing warmly, waiting for dark and turning off lights, then looking up at stars, planets and constellations. Eddie shares facts and is reminded to check whether Akeel has any questions. When it is time to stop, Eddie is reluctant, but Akeel reassures him he can stargaze again, and the episode closes with a recap of the steps.

An adult reminds them that the best present is simply being together, so they stage a musical reunion show. Grandma arrives, reveals the call had been misheard, and hands the children a present of her own before the family sings a song for her.
