The Shoe People

April 1, 1987

PC Boot takes us on a tour of Shoe Town and introduces many of the Shoe People.

Sergeant Major lives in Drill Hall and has the best kept garden in Shoe Town. His next door neighbour however is Trampy whose garden is completely overgrown with wild flowers, grass and weeds. This always annoys Sergeant Major.

The Shoe People spend a day at the seaside. Flip-Flop is sun-bathing on the rocks when she is swept into the sea. Trampy, Charlie and Sergeant Major come to her rescue.

We are introduced to the kindly and generous Trampy, and his untidy lifestyle.

P.C. Boot is looking through his notebook when he notices the date and realizes today is Trampy's birthday. The Shoe People have forgotten Trampy's birthday. Or have they?

The Shoe People are very excited. They have been invited to Swan Lake Cottage for a performance of Margot's latest ballet. Who or what will she dance with today?

Charlie is the best clown in the world. Meet him in The Little Big Top and see him perform on the trapeze. Sometimes Sergeatn Major calls him a 'stupid clown' but today he and Sergeant Major seem to be the best of friends.

Wellington is always happy on wet days. He simply loves jumping in and out of puddles, but one big puddle proves quite a problem not only for him but especially for Margot. The Shoe People solve the problem for her.

The Shoe People love to visit Charlie for tea. Today Charlie is going to show them his latest trick.

Charlie's is up to his usual funny tricks in the park, making everyone laugh. Today one of his tricks is just too much for Sergeant Major.

Charlie arrives back in Shoe Town after collecting his brand new clown's car. Most of the Shoe People like Charlie's new car.

Trampy and Margot are having a lovely afternoon on the boating lake. Suddenly their rowing boat gets stuck on a mud bank.

Trampy falls asleep in front of the fire and starts to dream. Suddenly his dream turns into a nightmare.

The Shoe People are looking forward to going to the fair, especially Sergeant Major.

A tree falls across the track at the railway station, and Mr Potter, the station master, calls on the help of PC Boot and Sergeant Major.

Sneaker always seems to be in trouble. Even a simple job for Margot brings him a warning from P.C. Boot.

Gilda Van Der Clog has a problem with a bird nesting. P.C. Boot and Charlie soon arrive.

Shoe Street Police Station is flooded. Who will mend the burst water pipe?

Charlie is trying to break his juggling record. This is not the only thing he breaks.

Trampy's jumble has been stolen or has it? Watch out for Sneaker.

The paper trail comes to an abrupt end. Sergeant Major seems very embarrassed.

Baby Bootee crawls away from Sid Slipper in the park and ends up flying.

Trampy offers to mow Sergeant Major's lawn but all does not go to plan, which leaves the lawn looking like a pile of spaghetti. Charlie has an ingenious plan to help Trampy cover up the mistake.

The residents of Shoe Town gather on the hill for the Annual Great Sledge Race. With a number of different sledges, the competition is as close as it's ever been. However one resident doesn't have a sledge at all!

The Shoe People are very excited as they get on the bus. Only Sergeant Major knows where they are going. Or does he?

The circus has been cancelled and The Shoe People are very disappointed. Charlie has a brilliant idea!
