About This Program

The Missing Volleyball is a stand‑alone episode of the series, presented as a short programme that tells a complete story in a single sitting. Though the format is simply listed as an episode, the narrative is tightly focused, concentrating on a handful of characters and a single incident that drives the action from start to finish. In this instalment, Twig takes Cosima’s volleyball without asking, prompting an immediate pursuit. The theft sets Big Lizard and Cosima on a frantic chase that weaves through the surrounding area, their determination growing with each step. Eventually the pursuit brings them right to Twig’s own hideaway, the den where he’s been keeping the ball hidden. Arriving at the den, the two confront Twig in the cramped space, the tension of the chase still palpable. Yet as they search the area, they come across something unexpectedly pleasant—a happy discovery that lightens the mood and shifts the focus from conflict to a more uplifting moment within the otherwise tense encounter. The episode concludes with the characters sharing the pleasant find, turning the moment into a light‑hearted resolution. By the time the story ends, the stolen ball has sparked an adventure that finishes on a cheerful note, leaving viewers with a satisfying sense of closure and a brief, uplifting experience.
