Molly Whiskers and the Blue Tentacle

15 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 months ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratings

Private detective Molly has an eye for detail and a strong moral compass. She's also a rabbit.

Her newest case involves a number of disappearing hamsters, but hot on their trail are Roscoe and Bailey, two of Fogsworth's finest police detectives... who, it should be mentioned, are cats.

Lurking in the shadows are the retired military minds of the town, including an obese pug and his colourful canine henchmen, who serve a sinister mastermind.

Molly must team up with the cats and build new friendships, if she's to save the hamsters and rescue her new assistant from the clutches of the Professor.

This story is written by Mark Steadman (under the name Ashley Kingslund), and read by Imogen Church, with sound design and editing by Mark.

Producer Mark has an update on Molly Whiskers and a fact to reveal about who really wrote Molly Whiskers and the Blue Tentacle.

Run!

When we parted ways last time, Molly had confronted our villain, known to most as Professor Fritz. Everything was looking pretty neat and tidy, with all the baddies in their place, and the hamsters almost home and dry. But in all the commotion, they’d forgotten about a small primate, with big eyes and strong little hands.

When we last left our heroes, they’d reunited after Patchee’s kidnapping by the dogs who’ve been putting the hamsters to work on a machine to generate power. The mind behind the machine belongs to a fox called Professor Fritz, whose assistant, Sam the slow loris, is now working with Molly, Patchee, and the police detectives Roscoe and Bailey, to put an end to the fox’s fiendish plot.

In the last episode, we uncovered the mastermind behind the hamster kidnapping: a fox called Professor Fritz, who paid some dogs to pick up the hamsters, strap them to a set of hamster wheels, and force them to generate electricity. What we don’t yet know is what Fritz plans to do with all this power, but it can’t be good.

The Machine is Turned On

We left Molly as she, Roscoe and Bailey were headed to the abandoned workshop in Handsome Gardens, hoping to meet and rescue Patchee, who is as we speak being marched behind a squadron of kidnapped hamsters, to who-knows-where. Things are about to get serious.

Let’s head back to the old workshop in Handsome Gardens, where the sleeping body of Patchee the rabbit is being lowered to the floor.

Patchee and the Blue Tentacle

We ended the last episode with Patchee rummaging around the army base where not so long ago, a football squad’s worth of hamsters were locked in cages. Meanwhile Molly’s found the note Patchee wrote about her, which doesn’t seem to have gone down well with Fogsworth’s private detective. What will happen when Patchee meets the blue tentacle?

Who Says Words Can't Hurt?

Previously... Molly had sent Patchee off to speak to someone who might have a clue as to where the hamsters are being taken. Patchee wants to stay on Molly’s good side after nearly destroying her flat by accident. And speaking of said accident, there might be one thing the young rabbit missed when he was cleaning up Molly’s flat… something about a piece of paper?

A Daring Escape

December 14, 2021 00:00 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MB

Private detective Molly Whiskers has had a run-in with the Fogsworth police force, Patchee’s woken up from a concussion and has started tidying Molly’s flat, and the General – the big pug in charge of kidnapping the town’s football squad – is very, very stinky.

He Who Smelt it

Last week, Roscoe caught Molly snooping around in the park in search of Fogsworth’s hamster kidnapper, who may or may not be a large dog who goes by the name of The General. Meanwhile Patchee, in an attempt to come to his new boss’s rescue, has rather clumsily destroyed Molly’s china, and is in the process of clearing it up.

Previously, Molly and Patchee started their investigation into the disappearance of Fogsworth’s hamster football team, with Molly rushing out to presumably catch the kidnapper. When we last saw Patchee, he was lying on the floor after being hit by a whole cabinet’s worth of crockery – his reward for trying to leap to Molly’s rescue, but being perhaps a little clumsy in the process.

Patchee Takes a Tumble

Last time, Molly Whiskers had agreed to take on Patchee as an assistant, they’d both met a hamster by the name of Mr Toggle, whose wife had gone missing, presumably kidnapped. Meanwhile police officers Roscoe and Bailey are also on the case.

Molly's on the Case

November 16, 2021 00:00 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MB

Molly, Fogsworth’s private detective, has just agreed to hire the young and shy Patchee after he realises the sign on her door was on back-to-front for some reason. Not the world’s biggest cliff-hanger, but just you wait… someone sustains an actual injury in this episode.

Roscoe & Bailey on the Trail of the Hamster Napper

In the first episode we met Molly, Fogsworth’s private detective, who just so happens to be a rabbit. You were promised some new faces too, so let’s not waste any time and get into it.

Who is Molly Whiskers?

October 04, 2021 01:26 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MB

The following is a story about rabbits, a couple of cats, a fox, and something called a slow loris, which is a funny-looking primate with big eyes. There's a kidnapping, a daring escape, some unnecessary violence, and later there’s a cow made of chocolate. It’s pretty safe for little ears, but if you’re the type of person who likes to get lost in a big book at bedtime or in a break at school, you and this story will get along just fine.
