Pingu (series 6) - Pingu's Big Catch

Pingu's Big Catch

Pingu is going fishing. Mother and Pinga come out to say goodbye, and Pingu says he’ll catch a big fish. On his way to the pool, Pingu comes across Father, who is fixing his motorised sledge, which has broken down. Pingu hoots in his ear, which makes Father jump and drop the screwdriver. Pingu tells Father that he’s going to catch a big fish. When Pingu reaches the pool, Pingo is already there fishing. Pingu tells Pingo that he’s going to catch a big fish and starts fishing in a pool nearby. Pingo soon lands a small fish. Pingu then has a bite and catches a top hat. Pingo finds this very amusing. Pingo then catches another fish, while Pingu catches a spring. The spring bounces around and into Pingu, knocking him down. This again amuses Pingo. Pingu is annoyed, and insists on changing places with Pingo, who reluctantly agrees. They settle down to fish again and Pingu catches a bicycle wheel. Pingo catches another fish, and Pingu a lavatory seat. They swap pools again. Pingo catches another fish, but Pingu only manages to catch a broken kettle and an old boot. At one moment, Pingo is rolling about with laughter. Again, they swap pools and, as Pingo lands yet more fish, Pingu gets a rusty pram. Pingu sits down, very dejected while Pingo counts all the fish he’s caught. Pingu then holds up a fish in each hand and makes fun of Pingu. Just then, a rag and bone penguin comes by, sees all the junk that Pingu has caught, and offers him a big fish for it. Pingu is delighted to accept, while Pingo bemoans the fact that the fish he’s got are only small.

• Features mainly Pingu and Pingo. Mother, Father, Pinga and a rag and bone penguin all have minor roles.
• Goof: When Pingu’s Father drops the screwdriver, it’s straight. When he picks it up, it’s bent! Much to his confusion....
