(Scene swaps to Mr. Tickle tickling lots of Mr. Men and Little Misses and goes all the way to Mr. Bump and Miss Whoops on a plane and tickles Miss Whoops causing Mr. Bump to fall into the "O" in the logo)

Mr. Bump: The Mr. Men Show!

(A big blue screen comes up with "Radio" written on it with Mr. Noisy, a radio playing music, who created the episode underneath, and the sounds of static and someone adjusting a radio dial so they could get a station are heard)

(The episode begins with a radio antenna sending out radio waves. The screen splits showing the radio tower in a rectangle and someone adjusting their radio setting in another smaller rectangle)

Narrator: What would the good people of Dillydale do without their radios?

(A square comes down showing Mr. Strong driving his tow truck and listening to the radio)

Narrator: Whether in the car...

(The rectangle featuring Mr. Strong's radio and the square featuring Mr. Strong himself lower down until they are no longer on screen. Then, a rectangle featuring Little Miss Curious, Mr. Lazy, and Little Miss Sunshine listening to a radio while on the beach lowers onto the screen)

Narrator: On the beach...

(A square featuring Mr. Rude driving a double decker bus with Little Miss Helpful, Mr. Messy, Mr. Bounce, Little Miss Chatterbox, and Mr. Tickle enjoying the music played on the radio on the lower level of the bus and Mr. lazy sitting on the upper level of the bus overlaps the rectangle showing the radio antenna and the rectangle of the beach)

Narrator: Or even on a crowded bus. Radios provide the Mr. Men and Little Misses...

(Mr. Fussy drives passed the double decker bus with a bag full of groceries for his segment later in the episode)

Narrator: With music where ever they go!

(The double decker bus and Mr. Fussy drive away. Mr. Happy and Mr. Grumpy drive into the frame)

Narrator: Of course, there are those people...

(The camera zooms in on Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Happy)

Narrator: Like Mr. Grumpy, who don't like the radio.

Mr. Happy: I'm so glad you could join me, Mr. Grumpy! Having someone along makes these little outings so much more fun!

Mr. Grumpy: Look, Mr. Happy, I'm not here for fun! I'm here because you told me we'd be stopping at the Museum of Fish! Now if you don't mind, I'd like to ride in peace and quiet. So please button it!

Mr. Happy: I won't say a word! We'll just enjoy our drive!

Mr. Grumpy: I bet!

Mr. Happy: (whistles)

Mr. Grumpy: Are you gonna whistle this whole journey?

Mr. Happy: Oh! (chuckles) What was I thinking? Why whistle when there's a radio in the car!

Mr. Grumpy: (growls)

(Mr. Happy turns on his car radio and polka music plays. The camera zooms out to show Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Happy driving on the road)

Mr. Happy: I love a good polka!

Mr. Grumpy: You would.

(The camera zooms back in on Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Happy. Mr. Happy starts chair dancing to the music)

Mr. Grumpy: Are you sure that's not distracting you from your driving?

Mr. Happy: Not at all! A jaunty polka relaxes me when I'm driving!

Mr. Grumpy: Well, they give me a headache!

(Mr. Grumpy reaches over to the radio to turn it off but accidentally breaks the knob off the radio console)

Mr. Grumpy: (grunts) Oh, crooked cucumbers.

(Mr. Grumpy covers his ears to drown out the polka music. The camera zooms out to show the change in weather. It starts raining hard. The camera zooms back in on Mr. Happy and Mr. Grumpy)

Mr. Grumpy: (growls and grunts)

(Fed up with the polka music, Mr. Grumpy uses all his strength put the knob back in the radio console. Then, with a few kicks, he turns the radio off and the polka music stops)

Mr. Grumpy: There! Fixed! Best not turn it on again!

Mr. Happy: What should we talk about now?

Mr. Grumpy: Nothing

(Mr. Happy turns on his windshield wipers and sees Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey outside of their car. There car is on the side of the road. They are each carrying an umbrella. Mr. Small is carrying a small one with a long handle while Mr. Nosey is carrying a regular umbrella that has opened the wrong way)

Mr. Happy: Why it's...it's Mr. Nosey and Mr. Small! Their car must've broken down!

Mr. Grumpy: What a shame. Just keep going.

Mr. Happy: But we have to at least offer them a ride!

Mr. Grumpy: Says who?

(Mr. Happy pulls up to Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey)

Mr. Happy: Need a lift, fellas?

(Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey get into Mr. Happy's car)

Mr. Small: Your timing could not be more perfect, Mr. Happy!

Mr. Nosey: We were going to the Museum of Fish, but our car broke down!

Mr. Happy: What a coincidence!

(Mr. Happy starts driving again)

Mr. Happy: Why, Mr. Grumpy and I are on our way there right now! Ha-ha!

(Mr. Small pulls out his umbrella)

Mr. Small: This calls for a little music!

(Mr. Small turns on the radio with his umbrella)

Mr. Grumpy: No it does not!

The sound waves cause a lot of squirrels to fall out of the tree onto Mr. Quiet)

Squirrels: (chattering)

Mr. Quiet: (screams)

(The bumper ends and the scene transitions to Mr. Fussy arriving at home with groceries in tow and eager to run inside. Mr. Messy is just standing in front of his house watching Mr. Fussy)

Mr. Fussy: Uh, hello? Mr. Fussy speaking.

(A split screen appears showing Little Miss Scary on the other side)

Miss Scary: Who else would be answering your phone?

Mr. Fussy: Oh! Hello, Miss Scary! I'm sorry, but I can't speak right now! Miss Helpful's radio program is about to begin. She's going to teach us how to make a chocolate cake!

Miss Scary: You'd rather listen to some cooking show on the radio, then go explore a cave full of bats!?

(Mr. Fussy is about to say something when music plays on the radio)

Mr. Fussy: Oh! It's starting! I must be going, Miss Scary! Good luck with your bat cave explorations!

Miss Scary: I-

(Little Miss Scary tries to continue what she was about to say when Mr. Fussy hangs up the phone and the split screen goes away)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Hello, and welcome to "Cooking with Miss Helpful." Today I'm going to explain how to make a delicious chocolate cake!

Mr. Fussy: (giggles with glee)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): First, you take dozen eggs and crack them into a bowl.

(Mr. Fussy gets a dozen eggs out of the refrigerator)

Mr. Fussy: Honestly, Miss Helpful. You could at least tell us what ingredients we need before we start!!

(Mr. Fussy starts cracking the eggs)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Once you crack the eggs into the bowl...

(Mr. Fussy speeds up the egg cracking process)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Add some milk and beat until smooth.

Mr. Fussy: Milk!?

(Mr. Fussy gets the milk out of the refrigerator)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Meanwhile, blend together your sugar and butter until light and fluffy! Are you bending yet?

(Mr. Fussy rushes back and forth to keep up with Little Miss Helpful's instructions. Mr. Fussy pours the milk into the bowl)

Mr. Fussy: Slow down please, Miss Helpful!

(Mr. Fussy takes the butter out of the refrigerator, a mixer out of the cupboard, and a package of sugar

Mr. Fussy: I only have two hands!

(Mr. Fussy pours the sugar and butter into the mixer. Mr. Fussy turns on the mixer but forgets to put the lid on and the blended sugar and butter splatters all over the kitchen)

Mr. Fussy: Oh! (coughs)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): It's time to sift your flour and baking powder. Are you with me?

(Mr. Fussy takes flour and baking powder out of his cupboard)

Mr. Fussy: No! I-I am not!

(Mr. Fussy reaches for the cupboard only to slip and fall)

Mr. Fussy: Y-wai! (screams)

(The batter lands on Mr. Fussy with a clang)

Mr. Fussy (on the floor): Oof!

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Uh oh! Looks like I forgot to bring cake tins!

(Mr. Fussy gets off the floor and looks at the radio in anger)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Well, so much for making a cake! How about we learn to make a pizza?

(Mr. Fussy hits his head on some pans hanging from the ceiling)

Mr. Fussy: Ow!

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Now, to make the pizza dough. Put flour water and yeast in a bowl.

(Mr. Fussy takes flour and yeast out of the cupboards. Mr. Fussy takes out a new bowl and pours flour into it)

Mr. Fussy: I-it would be helpful if you told us how much yeast to use!

(Mr. Fussy pours yeast into the bowl)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Now make sure you only use a little yeast, or else your dough might explode.

(Mr. Fussy stops pouring the yeast into the bowl)

Mr. Fussy: Oh!

(Mr. Fussy grabs a handful of dough)

Mr. Fussy: Now she tells us!

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Ooh! Looks like we have a caller!

(A beep is heard over the radio)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): You're on the air!

Miss Scary (on the radio): I was wondering...

(Mr. Fussy facepalms himself in frustration)

Mr. Fussy: (sighs)

Miss Scary (on the radio): If you have a good recipe for Monster Fang Stew? (laugh)

Mr. Fussy: I knew that bat-loving Little Miss would somehow ruin my cooking show!

(Mr. Fussy's pizza dough starts rising at a rapid speed)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): No, I don't have a recipe for Monster Fang Stew. But I do have a very nice sweet and sour beanburger recipe. In fact, why don't we make that instead?

(The dough starts spilling out of the bowl)

Mr. Fussy: But what am I going to do with this heap of dough!?

(Mr. Fussy notices the dough and tries using his hands to stop it from rising)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): You take a tin of beans...

(The dough expands so fast that Mr. Fussy falls over)

Mr. Fussy: (screams) Oof!

(Mr. Fussy picks himself up and realizes his mistake)

Mr. Fussy: (grunts) Sweet apple strudel! I fear I've done something wrong!

(The dough continues expanding at an alarming rate)

Miss Scary (over the radio): I don't want to make beanburgers!

(The dough pushes Mr. Fussy onto the ground)

Miss Scary (over the radio): I want to make something really scary!

Mr. Fussy: (grunts) Oof!

Miss Scary (over the radio): Like...spider casserole!

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Hold on a minute, Miss Scary! I'm getting another call.

(A beep is heard over the radio)

Mr. Fussy (over the radio): Miss Helpful!

(On the floor, Mr. Fussy is revealed to be on the phone)

Mr. Fussy: This monstrous pizza dough! It's taking over by home! Like some...

(The dough nearly absorbs Mr. Fussy)

Mr. Fussy: Unwelcomed blob from outer space!

Miss Scary (over the radio): Okay! Now THAT'S scary!

Mr. Fussy: Oh!

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Sounds like you used too much yeast. You were only supposed to add a tiny pinch!

Mr. Fussy: (muffled noises)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Just trying to be helpful! Well, that's all we have time we have for today! I hope you had fun too!

(Mr. Fussy climbs on top of his kitchen counter as the dough continues to expand and consume the kitchen)

Mr. Fussy: No! This can't be! Come back! What do I do with this dough now?

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Join me next week when I'll show ya-

(The dough consumes Mr. Fussy's radio and nearly fills up the entire kitchen)

Mr. Fussy: Oh-ho-ho! My house! My radio! No! Back! Back off, dough!

(The scene cuts outside. The dough expands through the walls and windows of Mr. Fussy's house. Mr. Fussy is carried with the dough.

Mr. Rude: You are the salesperson?

Mr. Scatterbrain: Yes!

(Mr. Scatterbrain takes out a pie)

Mr. Scatterbrain: And the pie maker!

Mr. Rude: I want to buy a radio! Not a pie.

Mr. Scatterbrain: Heh. Have it your way!

(Mr. Scatterbrain throws the pie behind him. The pie ends up hitting Mr. Quiet in the back of the head. This covers Mr. Quiet's head in a purple pie filling)

Mr. Quiet: Oh! P-too!

Mr. Scatterbrain: What kind of radio do you need?

Mr. Rude: I want a clock radio to wake me up in the morning.

Mr. Scatterbrain: (chuckles) I have just the thing!

(Mr. Scatterbrain goes under the desk and pulls out a clock radio in the shape of a cow)

Mr. Scatterbrain: This is our very popular, Farm Radio! Only, instead of music, it moos!

Mr. Rude: I do not want a radio that moos! I want one to play music!

Mr. Scatterbrain: Why didn't you say so! (chuckles)

(Mr. Scatterbrain throws the Farm Radio behind his back)

Farm Radio (offscreen): (moos)

(Mr. Scatterbrain goes under the desk again and starts playing the accordion for Mr. Rude. Surprised and annoyed, Mr. Rude takes the accordion away from Mr. Scatterbrain)

Mr. Rude: Oh, stop that noise! I want a clock radio, not some squeeze box!

(Mr. Rude throws the accordion away and the accordion destroys a bunch of shelves holding up a boombox, some cameras, and some walkie-talkies. Mr. Quiet, who was looking at the shelves, gets buried in the items and the accordion lands on his head)

Mr. Quiet: Ooh!

(Mr. Scatterbrain pulls out a clock radio for Mr. Rude)

Mr. Rude: Ugh! Give me that!

(Mr. Rude tries to grab the clock radio but Mr. Scatterbrain pulls it away)

Mr. Scatterbrain: First, I have to show you how it works!

(Mr. Scatterbrain leans over to Mr. Rude)

Mr. Scatterbrain (in a whisper): That's what everybody says!

(Mr. Scatterbrain moves back behind the desk)

Mr. Scatterbrain: First, you turn the radio on with this button!

(Mr. Scatterbrain pushes the button but a buzzer sounds instead. Mr. Scatterbrain pushes it again to turn the buzzer off)

Mr. Scatterbrain: Or maybe it's this button!

(A loud siren plays out of the clock radio. Mr. Rude covers his ears)

Mr. Scatterbrain: THAT'S THE ALARM!

(Mr. Rude turns the alarm off)

Mr. Scatterbrain: In case you don't want the radio to wake you up! (chuckles) Now, one of these buttons turns on the radio.

(Mr. Scatterbrain turns the radio on and hears a faint radio signal)

Mr. Scatterbrain: But here!

Mr. Scatterbrain: He's really very good at waking people up in the morning!

(Mr. Rude grabs onto Tyrone and hangs onto Tyrone's legs as Tyrone tries to fly away. Mr. Scatterbrain waves goodbye while Little Miss Whoops watches in confusion)

Mr. Rude: (grunts) Ugh!

(The scene fades to the next bumper. Mr. Quiet is reading peacefully when Mr. Noisy comes along with his boombox. Mr. Noisy turns on his boombox and sound waves come out of it. The sound waves cause the ground to split open and for Mr. Quiet to fall into the fissure)

Mr. Grumpy: Woah!

(Mr. Grumpy surfaces out of the puddle, spits out water, and looks at the viewers in frustration)

Mr. Grumpy: Oh. I should have taken the bus.

(Mr. Rude drives his bus past the screen with Mr. Tickle, Mr. Messy, Mr. Bounce, Little Miss Chatterbox, and Little Miss Helpful as passengers. The scene transitions to the first bumper. Mr. Quiet is reading peacefully when Mr. Noisy comes along with his boombox. Mr. Noisy turns on his boombox and sound waves come out of it. The sound waves cause a lot of squirrels to fall out of the tree onto Mr. Quiet)

Squirrels: (chattering)

Mr. Quiet: Oh!

(The bumper ends and static appears on the screen before cutting to Mr. Messy in a radio studio)

Mr. Messy: I'm Mr. Messy! If you like to listen to the radio, then you love Dillydale FM! Where we play the songs that'll make you dance!

(Mr. Messy turns a knob on the control console)

Mr. Messy: Like this bad boy!

(Mr. Messy turns on "Beachin' With the Boombox" by Mr. Strong. The scene transitions to a beach where Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Naughty, and Little Miss Helpful are dancing to the song as it plays on the radio)

Mr. Messy (on the radio): Oh!

Mr. Messy (on the radio): 🎵What makes you move?🎵

Mr. Messy (on the radio): Oh!

Mr. Messy (on the radio): 🎵What makes you-🎵

(A record scratch sound effect is heard and the scene transitions to a supermarket. Mr. Small, Mr. Quiet, Little Miss Chatterbox, and Little Miss Helpful are dancing to "The Beat is Taking Over" by Mr. Messy. Which is playing over the loud speakers)

Here it comes again!🎵

(Mr. Bounce bounces onto the scene and bounces around the area

Mr. Messy (on the radio): 🎵The beat is taking over and it's got the Mr. Men!🎵

Mr. Messy: Ha-ha! That's what I'm talking about!

Mr. Messy (on the radio): 🎵It's time to start the boogie like the groovy Little Misses!🎵

Mr. Messy: Yeah!

Mr. Messy (on the radio): 🎵The beat is taking over!

There's no place to escape!🎵

Mr. Messy: So if you want to listen to the radio, tune into Dillydale FM! and let us put the wiggle back into your day!

(The song stops playing and the screen goes to static again before fading to black. The scene transitions to Mr. Fussy arriving at home with groceries in tow and eager to run inside. Mr. Messy is just standing in front of his house watching Mr. Fussy)

(A split screen appears showing Little Miss Scary on the other side)

Miss Scary: Who else would be answering your phone?

Mr. Fussy: Oh! Hello, Miss Scary! I'm sorry, but I can't speak right now! Uh, Miss Helpful's radio program is about to begin. She's going to teach us how to make a yellow cake!

Miss Scary: You'd rather listen to some cooking show on the radio, then go explore a cave full of bats!?

(Mr. Fussy is about to say something when music plays on the radio)

Mr. Fussy: Oh! Here it is! I must be going, Miss Scary! Good luck with your bat cave explorations!

(Little Miss Scary prepares to say something when Mr. Fussy hangs up the phone and the split screen goes away)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Howdy, and welcome to "Cooking with Miss Helpful." Today I'm going to explain how to make a delicious yellow cake!

Mr. Fussy: Uh-huh!

Miss Helpful (on the radio): First, you take dozen eggs and crack them into a bowl.

(Mr. Fussy gets a dozen eggs out of the refrigerator)

Mr. Fussy: Honestly, Miss Helpful. You could at least tell us what ingredients we need before we start!!

(Mr. Fussy starts cracking the eggs)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Once you crack the eggs into the bowl...

(Mr. Fussy speeds up the egg cracking process)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Add one cup of milk and beat until blended.

Miss Helpful (on the radio): It's time to sift your flour and baking powder. Are you with me?

(Mr. Fussy takes flour and baking powder out of his cupboard)

(Mr. Fussy reaches for the cupboard only to slip and fall)

Mr. Fussy: D'oh! (screams)

(The batter lands on Mr. Fussy with a clang)

Mr. Fussy (on the floor): Oof!

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Uh oh! Looks like I forgot to bring cake pans!

(Mr. Fussy gets off the floor and looks at the radio in anger)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Well, so much for making a cake! How about we learn to make a pizza?

(Mr. Fussy hits his head on some pans hanging from the ceiling)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Now, to make the pizza dough. Put flour, water and yeast in a bowl.

(Mr. Fussy takes flour and yeast out of the cupboards. Mr. Fussy takes out a new bowl and pours flour into it)

Mr. Fussy: It would be helpful if you told us how much yeast to use!

(Mr. Fussy pours yeast into the bowl)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Now make sure you don't use too much yeast, or else your dough might explode.

(Mr. Fussy stops pouring the yeast into the bowl)

Mr. Fussy: Oh!

(Mr. Fussy grabs a handful of dough)

Mr. Fussy: Now she tells us!

(A beep is heard over the radio)

Miss Helpful (over the radio): You're on the air!

Miss Scary (on the radio): I was wondering...

(Mr. Fussy facepalms himself in frustration)

Miss Scary (on the radio): If you have a good recipe for Monster Fang Stew? (laughs and snorts)

Mr. Fussy: Oh! I knew that demented Little Miss would somehow ruin my cooking show!

(Mr. Fussy's pizza dough starts rising at a rapid speed)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): Nope. Don't have a recipe for Monster Fangs. But I do have a very nice sweet and sour beanburger recipe. In fact, why don't we make that instead?

(The dough starts spilling out of the bowl)

Mr. Fussy: But what do I do with this wretched dough!?

(Mr. Fussy notices the dough and tries using his hands to stop it from rising)

Miss Helpful (on the radio): You take a can of beans...

(The dough expands so fast that Mr. Fussy falls over)

Mr. Fussy: (screams)

(Mr. Fussy picks himself up and realizes his mistake)

Miss Scary (over the radio): I want to make something really scary! Like...spider casserole!

Miss Helpful (over the radio): Hold on a moment! I'm getting another call.

(A beep is heard over the radio)

Mr. Fussy (over the radio): Miss Helpful!

(On the floor, Mr. Fussy is revealed to be on the phone)

(The dough nearly absorbs Mr. Fussy)

Mr. Fussy: Unwelcome blob from outer space!

Miss Scary (over the radio): Okay! Now THAT'S scary!

(Mr. Fussy climbs on top of his kitchen counter as the dough continues to expand and consume the kitchen)

Mr. Fussy: No! This can't be! Uh, come back! What do I do with this dough now?

(The dough consumes Mr. Fussy's radio and nearly fills up the entire kitchen)

Mr. Fussy: My radio! Oh!!!

(The scene cuts outside. The dough expands through the walls and windows of Mr. Fussy's house. Mr. Fussy is carried with the dough. Mr. Messy takes notice)

(Mr. Fussy's door falls down due to the amount of dough inside the house)

Mr. Fussy: Oh, the misery!

(The scene fades to the next bumper. Mr. Quiet is reading peacefully when Mr. Noisy comes along with his boombox. Mr. Noisy turns on his boombox and sound waves come out of it. The sound waves cause Mr. Scatterbrain to fall out of the tree onto Mr. Quiet)

Mr. Rude: You are the sales person?

Mr. Scatterbrain: Yeah!

(Mr. Scatterbrain takes out a pie)

Mr. Scatterbrain: And the pie maker!

Mr. Rude: I want to buy a radio! Not a pie.

Mr. Scatterbrain: Heh. Have it your way!

(Mr. Scatterbrain throws the pie behind him. The pie ends up hitting Mr. Quiet in the back of the head. This covers Mr. Quiet's head in a purple pie filling)

Mr. Quiet: Ugh!

Mr. Scatterbrain: What kind of radio do you need?

Mr. Rude: I want a clock radio to wake me up in the morning.

Mr. Scatterbrain: (chuckles) I have just the thing!

(Mr. Scatterbrain goes under the desk and pulls out a clock radio in the shape of a cow)

Mr. Scatterbrain: This is our very popular, Farm Radio! Only, instead of music, it moos!

Farm Radio: (moos)

Mr. Rude: I do not want a radio that moos! I want one to play music!

Mr. Scatterbrain: Why didn't you say so! (chuckles)

(Mr. Scatterbrain throws the Farm Radio behind his back)

Farm Radio (offscreen): (moos)

(Mr. Scatterbrain goes under the desk again and starts playing the accordion for Mr. Rude. Surprised and annoyed, Mr. Rude takes the accordion away from Mr. Scatterbrain)

Mr. Rude: Ugh! Give me that!

(Mr. Rude tries to grab the clock radio but Mr. Scatterbrain pulls it away)

Mr. Scatterbrain: First, I have to show you how it works!

(Mr. Scatterbrain leans over to Mr. Rude)

Mr. Scatterbrain (in a whisper): That's what everybody says!

(Mr. Scatterbrain moves back behind the desk)

Mr. Scatterbrain: First, you turn the radio on with this button!

(Mr. Scatterbrain pushes the button but a buzzer sounds instead. Mr. Scatterbrain pushes it again to turn the buzzer off)

Mr. Scatterbrain: Or maybe it's this button!

(A loud siren plays out of the clock radio. Mr. Rude covers his ears)

Mr. Scatterbrain: THAT'S THE ALARM!

(Mr. Rude turns the alarm off)

Mr. Scatterbrain: In case you don't want the radio to wake you up! (chuckles) Now, one of these buttons turns on the radio.

(Mr. Scatterbrain turns the radio on and hears a faint radio signal)

Mr. Scatterbrain: But here!
