Wind in the Willows - Happy New Year (1/2)

The first part of the Happy New Year episode of Wind In The Willows by Cosgrove Hall, 1987...

"The railway is about to destroy everything and Badger has given up. Toad has everyone, including Mole's cousin Auberon, over for New Year's Eve anyway so that he can perform his poems and play his bagpipe. The gathering is interrupted when the henchman arrives with awful news. The weasels were stealing a traction engine from the railway company and driving it through the Wild Wood when the ground underneath gave way and swallowed up the engine and the weasels. Rat insists that they go to the Wood to help, but when they get there there are no signs of life. The group returns to Toad Hall to find an old acquaintance waiting for them on the doorstep with an important message..."

This was the greatest show to grow up to. Thank you whoever put all these up.

"Oh shut up toad!!" Bet they never had more respect for Chief Weasel in that moment :P and how insulting for Toad, that his friends would rather go rescue weasels - who have been repeatedly trying to steal from and even kill them for years - than listen to his recitals XD

[Piccadillyo]

some people carry tidyness too far XD best excuse ever

All I mean to say is, that in spite of Julius bloomin Caesar, in spite of all that hop-dop mancy fancy writing and whatever, you ain't no better off than what we are, is ya, aye?

Love Chief Weasel.

German? I´m German and it sounds completely different. We don´t pronounce our "R´s" like that if that´s what you mean. By the way, I didn´t understand a word of what Toad was saying :))!

LOVED Toad's accent when he read the poem.

[Punki80]

I don´t know about Scottish, but it isn´t German either (I´m German ;) ). There is one episode with a real German accent, it´s called Toad in Motion, but I don´t think it´s uploaded yet.
