Nelson's mischievous nephew arrives for a visit and, through his antics, leaves disorder in his wake wherever he roams across the estate. By the end of his stay he comes to understand an important lesson about the savannah's rainy season and its impact on the land.

The Story of Nelson’s Nephew Nigel is a stand‑alone programme presented as an episode within its series. It is classified simply as an episode‑type show, offering a compact narrative that centres on a single character’s visit and the events that follow. In this particular episode, Nigel – the mischievous nephew of the titular Nelson – drops in for a stay. Almost straight away, his cheeky, reckless behaviour turns everyday situations into chaos, and he doesn’t leave a room without causing some sort of disruption. Wherever he wanders, disorder seems to trail behind him, turning calm moments into a whirlwind of trouble. Despite the mayhem he creates, Nigel eventually comes to grasp an important lesson about the rainy season on the African savannah. The experience forces him to see how his actions affect those around him and to appreciate the significance of the seasonal rains that shape the landscape. By the time the episode draws to a close, Nigel’s newfound understanding marks a clear shift from his earlier, disruptive antics to a more thoughtful attitude. The story finishes with him having internalised the lesson about the savannah’s rains, suggesting a modest but meaningful change in his character over the course of the brief narrative.
