Episode 1/28: Beauty was strolling down Pork Avenue one day and was surprised to find there was still a phone booth in this day and age. "Just another way for Frank and his fellow swine to make money out of us", he thought. "Still, why not phone a friend? I left my cellphone at home."

Episode 2/28: As Beauty approached the phone booth, a curious thing began to happen. Starting behind Beauty, a grey cloud began to cover the street, taking all of the colour away.
Njagi the zebra and old Fossey the gorilla, who were both entirely black and white, saw the cloud coming.
"It's just like the story you told me about," said Njagi. "The African story of how the pied crow will one day take all the colour from the world!"
"Well we won't be affected!" said Fossey. "But our friends will! Follow me, I have a plan!"

Episode 3/28: "Hey!" shouted Beauty as Fossey and Njagi barged him out of the way. "I was here first! Finders keepers!"
"Look behind you," said Njagi.
"I'm not falling for that!" said Beauty. "What do you think this is, a pantomime?" But he could not help looking. By now the entire street had lost all its colour.
Fossey was already carrying out his plan. The answer to all their problems must begin in a world of only black and white, where no-one was affected by the draining effect of colour loss. He was dialling a friend from the 1950's - Squeezey Skeezle!

Episode 4/28: Fossey was answered by the operator. Beauty was astonished to hear her asking Fossey who he wanted to call ... and when? What kind of a phone booth was this? With that, the three creatures suddenly disappeared. Beauty had a last glimpse of a completely grey street. Had the whole world of PnF had all the colour drained from it? How? Why?

Episode 5/28: Back in the 1950's, Squeezey Skeezle ran a Petective Agency with his Pfuzzle cousins, one of whom was visiting at the time. The phone rang. "I wonder what year this call will be from?" Squeezey asked himself. "It had better be important, I just bought myself my first televizhun ... tellyvishun ... what do they call these things? And I was hoping to see all the cool shows they have on in the afternoon in glorious black, white and grey!"

Episode 6/28: Squeezey's major investment in Science Fiction startups had entitled him to a prototype time travel phone (and plenty else besides). So when Fossey appeared, that was no surprise. But he wasn't expecting three pets at once!
"Hi Squeezey," said Fossey. "The phone booth works just like you said it would."
"Really?" said Squeezey. "so when did you make your call from?"
"2019", said Fossey. Squeezey was amazed.
"I promised I would call you back one day!" said Fossey. "But I kind of missed the 1960's in a haze, and after that the world was just so, uh, colourful ... I wasn't keen to go back to black-and-white. But now 2019 has gone grey and we need your egg timer to fix it!"

Episode 7/28: Squeezey grabbed the egg timer and led the group into the street while Fossey explained. "A story tells of a pied crow laying grey eggs all over the world, replacing coloured eggs. In this way it will steal all colour from the world!"
"And that's a bad thing?" asked Squeezey's pfuzzle cousin.
"Yes," said Beauty. "In 2019 pets come in all colours. Now they can't tell who is who!"
"Well that's no good," said Squeezey. "We better go find those eggs. My egg-timer can move them back in time before they were stolen. That way they will go colourful again and the bird's plan will fail before it begins."

Episode 8/28: Squeezey ushered them all into his car.
"How can driving enable us to travel in time?" asked Beauty.
"You should mix with the right crowd," said Squeezey. "I know all the best inventors ... here in the 50's we can even see pictures broadcast over radio waves!"
"Oh brother!" said Beauty. But to his astonishment, as Squeezey started the car up, there was a flash of colour and the street disappeared.
"How can we tell where we are going?" asked Beauty.
"No, WHEN we are going," smirked Squeezey. "But how we get there? If I tell you that, everyone will have one of these cars and your grandkids will be messin' with yer family history!"

Episode 9/28: The car was a little crowded and everyone was getting somewhat tired and cranky. The pressure to find eggs was becoming too much! The team decide to stop and have a play on a deserted sandy beach. Skeezle notices something jutting out of the sand, and everypet goes to take a look. Everypet that is, except Fossey, who is by now napping in the shade of the trees. “Looky, looky, looky! A pirate's treasure!” There was gold, there were jewels, there were star fish, and happily for the crew, there was an egg! Skeezle only had to reach inside the chest and toss that egg out to the waiting pets...

Episode 10/28: The team have learned that with co-operation there is very little they can’t achieve. In the early afternoon, as they travelled along the seashore, they noticed a flock of seagulls squawking and circling what appeared to be a school of fish in the water. After pulling the car over to take a closer look, and much to their delight, Njagi noticed the palm tree was abundant with fruit. But one of those fruits looked like an egg? After much discussion, they decided to form a pyramid in order to reach the egg. Pfuzzle Mr Fudge supervised from the safety of the car, while Njagi, Skeezle and Fossey performed a fantastic acrobatic manoeuvre, and gleefully grabbed the egg!

Episode 11/28: "What's that? An eagle's nest? There seems to be something unusual about one of those eggs.” Yessssss! Pfuzzle Mr Fudge can't believe his luck. “I found one! I found one!” he happily chortles to Fossey, Njagi and Skeezle. Who will go retrieve the egg? “Not me”, says Njagi. “Not me” says Skeezle. Pfuzzle Mr Fudge isn’t a great climber, so he volunteers Fossey. “If you just sneak on up there, you might be able to grab it before Mrs Eagle takes a chunk out of you, or worse still, picks you up with those long talons and drops you in the ocean.”
“Tip toeing is not one of my abilities,” says Fossey, but he dutifully scrambled up to the nest, because gorillas love a challenge!

Episode 12/28: “Helloooooooo”, Pfuzzle Mr Fudge called to the team who had decided taking a ride in an umbrella wheel was the perfect way to expand their view to look for eggs! Pfuzzle Mr Fudge tried to explain there was an egg in the next umbrella carriage, but none of them seemed to be able to hear what he was saying? Beauty assured Pfuzzle Mr Fudge that they could collect the egg once the umbrella wheel rotated a full turn...

Episode 13/28: It was time for a spot of fishing. The weather was balmy and the water nice and calm, as the pets strolled down to the pier with their fishing gear. When they arrived, there were buckets of fish, a fishing pole, a can of worms and no fisherpet to be seen anywhere. Uh oh, what’s this? A No Fishing sign! Whoever had been disobeying the rules must have thought we were inspectors and disappeared quickly, leaving their gear and bounty behind. The pets couldn’t do any fishing, but all was not lost, because there in amongst the abandoned fish, was an egg!

Episode 14/28: At the Lagoon of the Laughing Starfish, Beauty spotted an egg. Njagi jumped from the car to ask the starfish if they could all hold hands to build a bridge, because Skeezle and Fossey were stuck on the rocks? “He he he, haw haw haw," they chuckled. "Anything else you want from us? “ “You betcha,” came the chorus. "Can you flick that egg up for us too?"

Episode 15/28: Spying an egg hanging on a vine over the water, the team try to figure out how they can get it safely? Who knows what is lurking in the depths below? Each of them felt there were beady eyes watching their every move. “Who is the best climber here?” asks Skeezle. “Not me, not me” Njagi and Pfuzzle Mr Fudge both replied. “Fossey, you have the strength and the arms, and we know you love to swing on vines, so we vote you collect that egg, pleeeeeeeeease?”

Episode 16/28: . “My my, don’t you look dashing with your dainty hat!” said Fossey to Njagi. “Oh you are so kind,” was Njagi’s reply. “Why don’t we all have a rest from all this egg hunting, and sit under the umbrella and have a refreshment?”
“Later,” said Skeezle, “Pfuzzle Mr Fudge and I think there is something strange about this hermit crab’s shell, and we want to find out what it is?”
No wonder the hermit crab can barely drag itself along! There is an egg attached to its shell! “Ouuuuch!” yelled Pfuzzle Mr Fudge, when he was nipped by the hermit crab while trying to retrieve the egg. “Hrumph! You would think he would be pleased not to be loaded down anymore?”

Episode 17/28: There is a pretty little spot the pets like to visit for a picnic occasionally. Sometimes they swim, sometimes they eat and sometimes they simply relax. Each of them brought their water toys, and having spotted a lovely display of water lilies, they pumped up the water toys and decided to race to take a closer look.
While they are happily frolicking, poor Pfuzzle Mr Fudge is sitting in the car, because he really isn’t keen on water. He has tried wading before, but the water seems to seep into his fur and no amount of shaking his body can get rid of that wet soggy feeling. He is feeling quite forlorn, but his mood picks up when he learns that Njagi wins the race to the water lilies, and discovers an egg!

Episode 18/28: Skeezle, Njagi, Pfuzzle Mr Fudge and Fossey managed to hire themselves a boat after spotting the most glorious egg sitting proudly in the reeds of the pristine waters. This was no ordinary boat. Skeezle had to sit on the bough to keep it stabilized. Pfuzzle Mr Fudge, in the meantime, threw the fishing line in, hoping to hook the egg and bring it to the surface. Fossey guided Pfuzzle Mr Fudge, by climbing up the mast. There was nothing this team couldn’t do when they all co-operated!

Episode 19/28: Not too far down the coast is an Ocean Aquarium the pets have been wanting to visit for some time. It is a whole new world, with sharks, fish and other sea creatures. Much to their surprise, very visible in the aquarium is an egg. Skeezle is persuaded to put on a diving suit and into the water he goes. Much to the amusement of the other pets, Skeezle looks rather funny and has bubbles coming out of the top of his diving suit. Of course a lot more bubbles appear, as Skeezle grumbles about his fear of the shark that is in close proximity. “Get me out of here!” he tries to mouth to the team, but all they can say is “get that egg!”

Episode 20/28: Travelling further along, they spot an island close to the shore. They debate amongst themselves about how deep the water is and about who is prepared to get their feet wet? There is a chorus of “not me,” but someone has to wade out there, because there is definitely an egg under the coconut palm! Oh noes, it is guarded by an octopus too! Njagi feels she is the best candidate to fool the octopus. She thinks the octopus will be so busy counting her stripes, he won’t notice when the egg goes missing...

Episode 21/28: It’s a beautiful day for a picnic. The pets load up the car with all sorts of yummy food and head to their favourite picnic spot beside a tidal pool. Swans are enjoying a swim and they look so majestic with their beautiful white feathers fluffed up proudly. Fossey notices one of the swans has an egg on it’s back. How can they retrieve this egg? After careful thought, they decide to try to encourage the swan to come to the shore, and what better method of encouragement than with a bag of chips? Pfuzzle Mr Fudge is a wee bit miffed, as he had his eye on those chips for himself!

Episode 22/28: Ever faithful to their hunt for eggs, the team were tired and began taking turns to have a quick nap. It was Fossey’s snooze time, and Pfuzzle Mr Fudge was also stuck in the car, because he was the pillow! Beauty handed binoculars to Skeezle, asking if he too could see something being tossed around by the dolphins? Skeezle’s sense of direction was not the best, but he was able to confirm there was indeed an egg! Beauty swam out to retrieve it, but not before he took a ride on the back of one of the dolphins. Wheeeee, splat, whee, splat... Oh, this was fun!

Episode 23/28: The pets were enjoying a game of beach ball when the wind caught the ball and it blew down the beach, and it disappeared into a nearby cave. They all ran after the ball, but stopped short of going into the cave. They were not sure what could be inside, apart from their ball, so Njagi decided she was feeling confident enough to head in there and check it out. “Hey everyone, put your heads in here!" Not only were there some really pretty shells, but there was also a really pretty egg. They were all so excited at the find!

Episode 24/28: It was quite cloudy as the team passed by a very realistic sand castle that was so large it could have housed all of them. Nestled on a rock in front of it was a mermaid. Now if that wasn’t enough of a sight for sore eyes, who would have believed there was also an egg perched enticingly on the mermaid’s lap? Beauty happily skipped across the perfectly positioned mini islands, to take possession of the egg.
