Title card.

**Teddy's Long - Legs** is the ninth episode of the second season and is narrated by Tom Conti.

## Plot

One sunny morning, Teddy and Tiffo have been playing 'Chase the Stick' but Teddy has thrown it too hard and it is stuck in the branches of the tree, it is too high for them to reach. Bilbo is passing by and he suggests that Teddy and Tiffo find another stick but Tiffo says that isn't a good idea as the stick in the tree is his very favourite stick and he wants it back, playing with another stick won't be the same. Bilbo chuckles and carries on his way, then Missy HIssy arrives wondering what all the fuss is about and when Teddy tells her about Tiffo's favourite stick in the tree, she says she will get it down. But Missy Hissy can't climb the tree because the bark on the tree trunk is scratchy and it tickles her. Teddy says the 'Chase the Stick' will have to wait until the wind blows the stick out of the tree so he and Tiffo leave. When Missy Hissy stops giggling, she wonders where everyone has gone.

Andy Pandy is repainting Looby Loo's house when a very glum looking Teddy comes by. Andy wonders what's wrong so Teddy tells him about Tiffo's favourite stick in the tree and that he can't get it down. Andy says that as he is just about finished painting Looby's house, he'll see what he can do to help and the paint pots are just the things they need. Teddy wonders how paint pots are going to help get Tiffo's stick out of the tree. Andy goes back to his house and finds some paint and paintbrushes, some gold and silver stickers, some rope and a bradawl in his special cupboard, then he takes all those things outside.

Teddy thinks the bradawl looks like a tiny screwdriver and Andy says it is actually a tool for making holes in the paint pots. Teddy wants to make the holes but Andy says he'd better do it as the bradawl might slip and Teddy might hurt himself so Teddy watches Andy makes two holes in both paint pots high up on the sides. Next it is time to decorate the paint pots so Andy lets Teddy paint the pots but he doesn't do it carefully and because of that, he gets almost as much paint on himself as he does on the paint pots. But Teddy doesn't mind about that as he is enjoying himself.

Soon both of the paint pots like very decorative, then when they are dry Teddy makes them even more decorative by sticking the gold and silver stickers on them, he struggles at first as the stickers are very sticky but he soon gets the hang of it. Soon the stickers are stuck where they are supposed to go. Teddy thinks the paint pots look very smart but then he remembers why they are making them, he still doesn't know how they are going to help get Tiffo's favourite stick down from the tree. Andy tells Teddy that he is going to have to wait and see. Andy puts the ends of the rope through the holes in the paint pot and ties the ends together, then he puts the lid on. Teddy watches and does the same with other pot.

Andy says the pots are ready, Teddy doesn't know what they are ready for so Andy shows him, they have made a pair of stilts. Teddy has a go on the stilts, he wobbles at first but when he gets the hang of standing up straight on them, he goes to get Tiffo's stick down from the tree. Thanks to the stilts, Teddy gets Tiffo's stick down from the tree no problem and thinks Tiffo will be happy about that. Tiffo is playing with another stick when Teddy arrives and he is quite surprised when he nearly bumps into the paint pots. Teddy tells Tiffo about how he got his favourite stick down from the tree. Tiffo thanks Teddy but says he has got a new favourite stick and thinks Teddy might like to play with him again tomorrow then leaves. Teddy thinks he and Andy have made the stilts for nothing but Andy says they have *not* made them nothing as Teddy now has a brand new pair of stilts.
