Toby's Travelling Circus

Ringmaster Tony sets off on a journey, leaving his circus in the care of Dolores and Toby. Enjoying the new challenge, Toby puts his all into learning the ropes and proves to everyone that he can be a great ringmaster.

A sell-out show demands something special, Momo explains to Toby. He suggests that he use any spare time he has to practise doing something extra for the audience. After trying to find out what he is good at, Toby discovers an old magic trick box in his caravan and opts to perform a rabbit-and-ha...

Toby creates a few problems for himself when he asks the troupe to come up with some spectacular new acts to go into the show that night. Twins Li and Ling, the highwire/trapeze artists, squabble over a new ending to their act and Toby has to try to resolve the dispute without upsetting either of...

Freddo would love to sing in the show, but he can't sing in time or in tune. Despite Jango's coaching, nothing can get him to come in on time until Clara and Toby realise that Freddo can't count. At the last moment, Clara devises a cueing system using a feather duster and Freddo makes a unique mu...

Toby is proud of his new hat, which has just arrived from the cleaners. Dolores advises him to keep it safe on the costume rail, but it doesn't even get there! Along the way the hat survives various close encounters with Thor, Clara and Freddo but it is eventually flattened by Ling. Oh dear! Toby...

When Ling has an accident that puts her out of action, Toby picks Freddo to take her place that night, but Freddo is too scared of heights to perform on the trapeze! Who else can Toby get at such short notice? He is at his wits' end when he recalls that his mother was once a circus trapeze artist.

When a call comes through saying that the circus vehicles are to have their wheels inspected by an official, Dolores gets Freddo and Clara to tell Toby. Unfortunately, Clara forgets and Freddo's mimes are completely misunderstood, leading to all sorts of mayhem.

Thor is very strong, very helpful and sure that he can do anything. So when Dolores says she wants him to dance in the show's finale, he agrees, but dancing does not come naturally to him. Everyone tries to teach him a dance but in the end it is only when he is seen stamping the stiffness out of ...

After Dolores does the washing, Toby and Momo hang it on the line to dry, but when Toby goes to collect his costume it's vanished and so have Dolores's bloomers! A search ensues - will the costumes be discovered before show time?

Dolores makes some banoffee pies and leaves them outside to cool, but a thief takes one! Freddo is put on guard duty but the thief is very clever and steals a couple more. The guilty party is discovered when the pies are found in Toby's new magic cabinet, but who was the sweet-toothed thief?

When three of her balls fall out of her bag after practice, Clara can't find them anywhere. With a show to do that evening, what can Clara juggle with instead? Dolores offers her an orange, Thor gives her a spanner and Jango donates an ocarina. She's already the star of the show with her new act ...

When Li and Ling work a diabolo into their act, Momo is fascinated and can't resist trying it for himself. When no one is looking, he throws the spinning top work high into the air and waits for it to come down, but the diabolo has vanished. When the girls discover that it is missing, a frantic s...

Dolores has circus flu! When the doctor recommends an afternoon nap, Toby does his best to ensure peace and quiet and decides that tonight's show will be a silent circus. Rehearsing in silence isn't easy, especially for Clara. There are many noisy mishaps but none wake Dolores, until just before ...

Jango finds that he is playing one or two instruments too many and can't quite manage his new tune. Toby offers to play the tin whistle, but his practising creates all kinds of confusion - Dolores thinks that her cold kettle is boiling, Freddo thinks that his boots are squeaking, and the carousel...

Thor is dismayed when he accidentally breaks Ling's favourite vase and Freddo's plate. It's been one of those days so he hides himself away to keep out of any more trouble. However he gets a chance to make amends when an emergency with the truck requires a strong man to fix it.

After seeing how hard Freddo concentrates while he is balancing custard pies on his fingers, Toby comes up with a splendid idea of how Freddo can conquer his fear of heights and walk on the high wire with Li and Ling. Meanwhile, Momo and Thor are trying to balance custard pies themselves for the ...

Thor discovers a hidden talent with children when baby Diddums takes a liking to him. Dolores decides that Thor will have to do the show with baby Diddums to keep him happy!

When new mats arrive for the Helter Skelter, Toby is more interested in trying them out than getting ready for the show. Dolores takes the situation into her own hands.

Li and Ling squabble over their new wheel and Clara and Freddo practise a new comic routine. Mayhem strikes when both acts go tearing around the funfair out of control.

When Jango loses his voice, auditions are held to find a replacement. Delores is too loud, Clara cannot remember the words and the twins squabble about who should sing which parts. All seems lost, until they decide to form a girl band.

Li and Ling have a massive falling out over their high-wire act and Li sulks in her caravan. When Thor brings a new balancing pole for Li, she accidentally knocks the head off Ling's favourite sunflower! Li apologises and the girls make up before going on to perform a fantastic high-wire show.

The circus is on the move. Everyone is packed and ready to go, except Clara who has wandered off to find her lost juggling ball and unfortunately she gets left behind. Clara sets off on foot to catch them up, but on the way she meets Farmer Flossy, who sings her a song to cheer her up. Meanwhile,...

Ling's ribbon gets tied up in knots and she is stuck on the trapeze platform. Toby is a dab hand at undoing knots, but when he rushes to the rescue he freezes halfway up the rope-ladder. Now Toby needs rescuing as well! Luckily, Jango knows just what to do.

When someone steps in wet paint and walks over the new poster, ruining it, the search is on to find the culprit. Everyone's feet are checked, but finally they realise that it is a stilt footprint, and Clara and Freddo have some new stilts! To make amends, Clara helps to make a new poster and she ...

Toby is excited about his brand new big finale, but he only tells Jango and Thor at first as he needs them to help him set it up.

Clara and Freddo use a sink plunger for their new routine, but when Dolores takes it to unblock her sink, Freddo, Clara and Toby must go on a hunt to find it.

Li and Ling go to the village to put up the circus posters, but it is such a windy day that they all get blown away! A pole is also blown over in the lane, so no one can get through. With no posters and the road blocked, nobody turns up for the show. The performers are just about to cancel the ci...

The arrival of Freddo's identical cousin Franco is the start of a very confusing day for the troupe. The cousins take advantage of their similarity to play a trick on Toby, which it gives him an idea for the show - a stunning clown double act.

Momo wants to play hide-and-seek with Toby, but Toby has to help Clara and Freddo blow up some balloons for their new act. Toby keeps Momo occupied by giving him a blown-up balloon which Momo names Bob. Everyone else in the circus thinks that Bob the balloon is a real person, causing much bewilde...

Thor is given a magnet by Toby, which he keeps in his chest. Throughout the day, metal objects keep going missing, from Dolores' knives and forks to Li and Ling's metal rings and Freddo's hubcaps. It causes mayhem at the circus as all the acts are missing their equipment.

It is an extremely hot day and all the acts are struggling to practise their routines. Toby gets Thor to build a fan out of Dolores' parasol and the circus cannon. The fan turns out to be far too powerful, however, and the performers have to wrestle with the huge draught. Thor stops the fan in or...

The Mayor visits the circus and wants to be shown around. He also shyly asks whether he can be in a circus act, to Toby's delight. Together they try to find a suitable routine for the Mayor, but they struggle due to his fear of heights. Suddenly, Freddo accidentally hits the Mayor in the face wit...

As Toby is trying to think of a new finale for the show, Delores picks out one of his old toys - a little puppet clown that looks like Freddo! This gives Toby a great idea involving Freddo and Clara becoming real-life puppets.

Among Thor's rubbish pile Toby discovers a rusty old scooter among a pile of scrap that Thor is throwing out. The scooter takes Freddo's fancy, but while learning to ride it he crashes into Thor's big drum - which gives everyone an idea for a new act.

Dolores wants to put Momo's toy rabbit in the wash because it smells, but Momo likes the smell and hides the rabbit in the cannon, unaware that Thor is about to test it. Momo is very upset to see his rabbit speeding through the air and runs after it.

Toby realises that the circus's latest audience were not very good at picking up their litter. The whole circus is left in a mess, so the troupe comes together to pick up all the rubbish in time for the next show.

The truck breaks down whilst the troupe are en route to the next town. Toby calls for a mechanic but is told that he will have to wait at least two hours! So Dolores stays by the truck while the others parade around the town.

Thor has just finished painting the helter skelter. Freddo is juggling hats, but he needs one more to make his juggling act even better, so he uses Toby's ringmaster hat.

Jango has a big drum solo in the show but the circus truck accidentally crushes his drums! While Thor fixes them, Freddo finds some old drums and pretends to be Jango, then Toby joins in too.

Toby shows Dolores how to use their new laptop to video call her sister Dolly and baby Diddums, but Dolores gets so hooked on the computer that she does not practise the new trampoline routine that she is doing with Li and Ling!

The local newspaper photographer, Bill Stills, comes to the circus to take pictures of everyone. But after he has climbed up on the high wire to get a good view of everyone, he realises that he has picked up Freddo's joke camera.

When everyone has different ideas for a new act for the show, Toby combines them all and comes up with something really spectacular.

When the rocket ship will not fly, the kettle will not boil and the big top lights will not work, Thor discovers that the generator is broken. Can they fix it before the show starts?

When Thor finds a barrel full of pirate costumes, it inspires everyone to come up with pirate-themed ideas for the show. Jango makes up a song, Clara and Freddo create an act with a talking parrot, and Li and Ling perform a pirate acrobat act.

Momo creates havoc after Toby gives him a yo-yo to play with and he gets tangled up in the string. Then Freddo crashes into Li and Ling while they are practicing their ribbon act! However, the mayhem gives Toby an idea.

Freddo wants to learn how to play football so Dolores calls up the local football team to ask the coach to come and help. Everyone gets football fever and joins in and Toby uses his camcorder to record everyone.

A new hat inspires Toby to make a brand new show and he gets everyone to create new acts for it. The bumper cars come up with a new song - but who will dance along to it?

When Dolores has a day off to visit her sister she leaves Toby in charge of organising the props. Thor and Momo help him, but they manage to lose all the props and it becomes a race against time to find them before the show starts.

When Thor repaints the high wire, Li and Ling cannot perform their act and they struggle to think of another one that they could do. The bumper cars come up with a great marching song which Jango decides to use in the show.

Tony, the old circus ringmaster, comes back to town for a visit, bringing with him his new circus partner - the all-singing, all-dancing Tammy! They have a fantastic routine to show everyone.

Toby has a wonderful Christmas present planned for Momo but doesn't tell him what it is. Momo keeps asking everyone else, but no one is telling. It is not until show time that Toby reveals his surprise present - something that Momo has always wanted!
