Just a note to say this is the only episode I have from Series 4, it was by luck that I recorded this almost 20 years ago!

That's okay, thanks for sharing Lewis.

Thank you so much for uploading this! Been watching the show for 24 years and this is the first time I've ever seen an episode from series 4.

[@EuroThemeParkArchive]

Thanks so much for finding this, Ive never forgotten this episode since I saw it on repeat a million years ago as a kid. Bodger and Badger was a great series and Chessington was full of colour then

[@JamesVlogsHomeBeyond]

I think it was also that same year that the fifth dimension would close to make way for terror tomb the next year.

[@thechessingtonmagpie6055]

@@JamesVlogsHomeBeyond, indeed it was. Both, The Fifth Dimension, and TERRORTOMB were astonishing dark rides - Tomb Blaster hasn't a scratch on them.

I’ve got all the episodes at my mums’ house, cannot believe my boss found this one 😂 Thanks for sharing Lewis Pringle!

Oh my goodness - you played Holly in this series didn't you! What are you up to these days Sophie, did you continue acting? If you are able to upload any episodes from this series all the fans of the show would hugely appreciate it, for many years series 4 has been considered "lost" apart from this episode.

I’m so happy to see a series 4 episode. I didn’t start watching this show until series 5 but it did see a rerun of this series between series 6 and 7. The last time I saw series 4 was in 2001 on bbc choice

[@pagrant]

I remember it being on bbc choice in 2000 as I used to watch it after finishing my GCSEs, so many classics

[@MrMattmgw]

Awesome! Remember Chessington in these days like yesterday! A much better place than today! Hopefully when Britbox launches they will add old episodes from the Archives!

[@sfullernj]

This episode made me soo happy as a kid. Loved this series and loved Chessington

[@JollyOrangeEntertainment]

Oh wow thank you so much I've never seen a series 4 episode before, I do miss these two mashy mates

[@coolcattigger]

Nice to see this - especially as series 4 is practically a rarity to find

[@Alex24241211]

Season 4 is very rare to come by.

This Puppet Badger sounds just like the British Boxer Frank Bruno

[@davecommentator]

I think this is the only footage that still exists from series 4!

[@johnjohntv1195]

Literally love this!

[@JamesVlogsHomeBeyond]

I'm sure the music used in the chase scene was used in an episode of art attack but sped up.

[@tomedy_official]

BBC must still have the original footage

[@alexwiddowson3756]

We need some more episodes from Series 4.

[@abbafan50986]

The first time I've seen a series 4 episode for a very long time. I wonder whether the lack of repeats of series 4 has anything to do with permissions from Merlin entertainment (the company that owns/operates Chessington). Maybe in the contract about obtaining filming rights there was some sort of clause about repeats?

[@captain_black32]

Ooh ooh, Mr Beasley!

[@ryanwoodward2622]

Do you have anymore episodes of bodger and badger

[@florgeysteve]

I wonder if the elephant is still on that particular ride.

[@Rachael8989]

The elephant is no longer there unfortunately. It was removed when they changed Dragon River into Tiger Rock.

[@florgeysteve]

@@Rachael8989 that’s a shame.

[@tomedy_official]

8:06 who on Earth is he talking to

[@alasdairandrew1447]

Badger I’m guessing since he is saying you’ll pay for this since his uniform got wet on the boat ride.

Mr t is screaming at Ed’s brother

[@pagrant]

I don;t remember series 4 much, Mt Beasley is just as mean and strict as Mrs Melly
