Season 1

  1. Episode 1

    Chapter 1 - A knock at the door

    MIXIE, TRIXIE & THE SOLDIER (the decline and fall of Merry Old England) A pop-up book if ever there was one for all who love England and who still haven't quite grown up. Have you ever wondered what on earth goes on at 99 Acacia Avenue, Humpworth (West)? In Mixie's big heart there's room for everyone - not only for the handsome Soldier, but also for those two egocentrics Professor McOlogy (Nobel Prize- winning inventor of Black Holes) and her husband Trixie (who claims he's a genius and collects dynamite in the back room). Even perhaps for the intolerable Mrs Marion Q. Honeysuckle and her herb teas and lethal knitting needles. Then there's her dear Mr Muddle, who's never quite sure whether he's a man or a dog. And perpetual-motion Teadrop, who doesn't give any of us a moment's peace. And poor Snoopy, who's chums with Poirot and Sherlock Holmes.

    Chapter 5 - Teadrop

    Then Teadrop came. What’s more she came in an out­size teapot - so big it made the old blue one turn green with envy. A scribbled note lay inside: ‘Have found a Real Man at last! Off to Paris tomorrow. Look after Teadrop. She has her little ways, but is no trouble really, not as long as you give in to her. - Love, Millie.’

    First Trixie says he’ll call the police; but then, re-mem­bering all those sticks of dynamite he’s got in the back room and which he’s been collecting for years against the Great Day When…, thinks better of it. McOlogy’s sure it’s a burglar who’s after his telescope. What luck he’s hid the key to the potting shed among the nettles!
