Summary
This show is about a Toad named Mr Hode who is one of Mr Toad's (from The Wind in The Willows) ancestors.
Like Mr Toad is named Mr Toad of Toad Hall, his name is Mr Hode of Hode Hall. This is because, stating the obvious, he lives in Hode Hall. However, there is sign that says 'Hode Pool'. The reason for this is because it used to be a swimming centre called Biode Pool, which was environmentally friendly. Instead of using chlorine and other harsh chemicals to clean the pool, the pool had water-purifying plants and microorganisms. The Biode Pool went bust so Mr Hode bought the Swimming Centre and has converted it into a hall. He is working on the sign, so for now it says 'Hode Pool'.
Mr Hode gained his fame and fortune by having a business like Hugh Heffner, Playboy. His magazine is called Hot Hodes and the photo shoots happen at his place. There are lots of beautiful women that hang round his place as he is a 'Ladies Man', especially Tia and Lea. They are Hode's girlfriends who are known as his 'Hode Babes'.
Also Hode is also wealthy as well, because he cheats the benefits system. Despite the fact the he is a multi-millionaire, he still moans about not getting enough benefits and claims that 'it's his entitlement'. Hode tries to claim more and more benefits, more or less he is a benefit fraud.
He is often reluctantly accompanied by Oscar the Badger. A lunatic who runs around with his hands in the air screaming "AAAAAHHHHH!" Even though Oscar is a badger, he has a human face with badger ears on top.
Oscar is usually joined his best friend Wiggly, who does exactly the same thing as Oscar, apart from, she screeches. Wiggly is a panda with short fuzzy hair.
Surrounded by a variety of people from the outright eccentric to the downright plain, there is never a dull moment in Mr Hode's life.
Oscar and Wiggly have the mentality of a toddler, therefore they attend nursery instead of school.
On Tonight's Episode-Eccentric Education
Hode has a lot on his plate. He has to take a bunch of delinquent teenagers to school and Oscar, Wiggly and a toddler to nursery.
Proving to be too much, he leaves Oscar, Wiggly and the toddler with his neighbours, The Rathbones and asks them to take them to nursery. The problem is that…..well let's just they are not the most reliable people to put it in a polite way.
