Pig Talent

Chuck Time

recommended age Unlock

Red wants a turn on a big wooden slingshot in a green, rocky landscape, but Chuck's superspeed keeps getting in the way. Every time Red is launched, Chuck races ahead and has time to bathe in a tub, read a newspaper, sip a coffee and settle into a deck chair before Red even lands. The two eventually smash into each other in mid-air and land side by side on the grass. The episode closes with Red glaring while Chuck lies back in sunglasses, the situation unchanged.

Where's My Crown?

recommended age Unlock

King Pig realises his crown has vanished from his head while he is eating in the throne room. He sends his helmeted guards to find it, and the crown tumbles out of the palace and through the pig village, past market carts, over the ramparts and into a mud pit, with the pigs crashing after it. Every attempt to grab it, including a catapult launch and a dig through the mud, ends in a collapse or a face full of dirt. The crown eventually makes its way back and the episode closes on King Pig wearing it again on his throne.

Full Metal Chuck

recommended age Unlock

Chuck turns a stretch of grassland into a military style training course and drills the three Blues through swinging tires, log walls and a giant slingshot. The Blues drag their feet, flop down in the grass and largely ignore him, so Chuck keeps demonstrating each obstacle himself, including a row of tires he sets on fire. When he straps into the slingshot one more time, the Blues attach a hook and chain to him. Chuck is launched, snagged and ends up dangling from a chain above the canyon while the Blues settle comfortably into the slingshot pouch.

Another Birthday

recommended age Unlock

A lookout pig spots the sunrise over the pig village and sets off a firework, signalling that yet another birthday must be celebrated. The pigs drag themselves through the day in paper hats, limply blowing party horns, dozing in the sand and daydreaming about cake. A giant pink cake is finally wheeled out for King Pig, bursts apart over him, and the crowd falls on the pieces until one pig eats himself sick. Night comes and the camera pulls back over a village packed with worn-out pigs before the picture fades into darkness.

Egg Sounds

recommended age Unlock

Red is minding three eggs in a nest in a rocky, green clearing when he notices that the shells display a picture of whatever sound reaches them, starting with the blue birds' horn playing nearby. Chuck and Matilda join in and try one noise after another, producing a pig face, baby pictures and spinning patterns on the shells, until a megaphone blast leaves all three eggs crying. The birds then get the blue birds playing their horn again and duck out of sight behind the bushes. The episode closes on the three plain eggs sitting quietly in the nest.

Cordon Bleugh!

recommended age Unlock

Matilda cooks a huge pot of green stew and serves bowls of it to Red, Chuck and the three Blues at a stone table on the cliff. One by one they gag, spit and pull faces, and Matilda ends up in tears. While the birds are distracted, helmeted pigs creep toward the nest of eggs, and Matilda drives them off by emptying her cauldron over them. The pigs make off with the stew, eat it, and end the episode flat on their backs in the mud while the eggs stay safe.

True Blue?

recommended age Unlock

A green pig sews himself a blue bird costume and joins the three Blues who are guarding a nest of eggs. The Blues take him in and share their games with him, throwing a frisbee, riding a skateboard, flying a toy plane and swimming in the lake, while the pig keeps steering himself closer to the nest. The water loosens his disguise and the Blues realise who he really is just as he reaches the eggs. They chase him off and fire him away with a slingshot, leaving the eggs where they were.

Do As I Say!

Off Duty

recommended age Unlock

Red spends day and night guarding a nest of three eggs through rain, snow and darkness until Matilda arrives and takes over so he can leave for the beach. On holiday he cannot switch off: coconuts, rocks and the sun all look like eggs to him through his camera. Back at the nest the other birds play around while a crowd of pigs creeps in, and Red races home in a panic to find the nest empty before the eggs turn up safe. The episode ends with Red back on the sand, this time with the three eggs in deck chairs beside him.

Slingshot 101

recommended age Unlock

Red is watching over a nest of eggs on a grassy hill when the three Blues discover the giant wooden slingshot and start climbing on it. Red gets into the pouch to demonstrate how it works and the Blues fire him, sending him into a distant cliff and down into an underground pig cave lit by glowing lava, where an egg sits in a frying pan. He rockets back home, and the pigs end up battered in the slingshot pouch. The episode closes at sunset with Red and the Blues stacked on skateboards, ready to be launched.

Thunder Chuck

recommended age Unlock

Red hands Chuck the night watch over a nest of eggs and heads off. Alone in the dark, Chuck faces a group of pigs who hide under a camouflaged shelter and try one contraption after another to lift the eggs, from a periscope and fishing rod to a bowl on a spring. A thunderstorm breaks and a lightning bolt leaves Chuck electrically charged, so every pig that reaches for the nest is thrown back with a shock. The episode ends with Red returning in the pouring rain under an umbrella, which promptly attracts a lightning bolt of its own.
