Bodger & Badger

- Season 7

(1996)

Bodger has become Mrs Dribelle's handyman and she gives him the task of looking after her plants and doing plant removing. Meanwhile, Badger causes chaos by turning the house into a jungle and the garden into a desert.

Someone threatens to kidnap Mrs Dribelle's cat Fluffykins. Bodger agrees to look after the cat while she finds a detective so Mousey leaves home in protest.

Mrs Dribelle has a sneaky new tenant, Alec Smart, who always has plenty of dishonest money-making schemes. When he notices Bodger's expensive camera, Mr Smart tricks him into swapping it for some false stain remover. Badger then comes up with a clever idea to get it back.

Mr Smart starts forging money by simply photocopying £50 notes, which he intends to use by buying the house off Mrs Dribelle. Badger tries to cheer Bodger up with practical jokes.

Mr Smart comes up with another devious scheme in selling Mrs Dribelle a painting, which turns out to be more of Badger's doing with mashed potato.

Mrs Dribelle's garden gnomes are going missing. The culprit, of course, is Mr Smart who is stealing all the gnomes in the area hoping to make a profit. Badger and Mousey make a mashed potato satellite.

Mr Smart pretends to be the wealthy Baron of Billericay and proposes to Mrs Dribelle with a fake ring. Bodger must stop her from making a big mistake.

Badger is bored so he decides to make a holiday of his own called "World Badger Day" - a time when everyone has to be nice to all badgers (and mice).

Mrs Dribelle is going to a pageant dressed as the Queen and Bodger gets roped into being her servant for the day. Mousey thinks that she'll be going off to live in Buckingham Palace.

Badger makes a new friend when Mrs Dribelle's niece, Vicky, moves in upstairs. She is a drummer and loves mashed potato but Mrs Dribelle is constantly making her miserable.

Bodger and Badger help Vicky write a song for the radio but the words do not come out as expected and Mrs Dribelle ends up winning.

Vicky goes to the market and gets a drumming job, where she has to dress up as a gorilla. Bodger and Badger go to the market but the gorilla outfit annoys Mrs Dribelle.

When Mousey chews through Mrs Dribelle's best dress, there's trouble ahead.

Vicky applies for a job as a drummer and prepares to go for an interview. However, she needs Bodger and Badger's help to make sure that Mrs Dribelle does not know.

Badger and Mousey celebrate Christmas and remember some of their adventures over the course of the last year.

Vicky does not get the drumming job so she sells her drum kit. Badger and Mousey buy it and try to cheer her up by forming a band but they need a drummer.

Mrs Dribelle tries to make Vicky work on her last afternoon but she has other plans.

Mrs Dribelle moves into the flat upstairs and Bodger sticks her wallpaper on with mashed potato by mistake. Badger and Mousey pretend to be ghosts to frighten her.

Badger and Mousey get things mixed up, including Mrs Dribelle's beauty cream and some mashed potato.

Badger and Mousey try to trap a cat burglar that has broken into the flat.

Mrs Dribelle is learning to dance so her friend Hubert can take her to a ball. In desperate need of practice, she forces Bodger to help her out. Meanwhile, Bodger's shower is not working so he has to use Mrs Dribelle's while she's out.

Mrs Dribelle stands for the town council election but will anyone vote for her?

After Bodger inherits a grandfather clock, Badger and Mousey decide to turn it into a cuckoo clock.

When Badger cannot sleep, Mousey suggests that he count sheep. Meanwhile, Bodger has an important meeting with Mrs. Dribelle which goes horribly wrong when he leaves without his trousers.

Bodger gets a letter telling him that the video that he sent in of himself reading poems is going to be on the television show "Say Cheese" but he runs into problems trying to watch it on TV. Things are made worse when Badger tapes over the original footage that he sent in.

Badger has a visit from his Italian friend Luigi, a fellow badger who enjoys hurling spaghetti.

Bodger enters a pottery competition, but he does not expect Mousey to be in the pot.

Badger and Mousey travel back in time to relive some of their favourite adventures.
