Quick Summary

The camp becomes swamped by overly eager squirrels, whose entire vocabulary consists solely of the words “sorry” and “thank you”. These hyper‑enthusiastic rodents take over the grounds, repeatedly apologising and expressing gratitude at every turn, leaving little room for anything else.

About This Program

The Visitors is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls under the genre of an episode‑type show, and its title suggests a focus on an unexpected encounter. In this particular instalment, a summer camp finds itself besieged by a horde of overly eager squirrels. These rodents are characterised by a singular, polite vocabulary: the only phrases they ever manage to utter are “sorry” and “thank you”. Their boundless enthusiasm drives them to dominate the campgrounds, creating a scene where the usual outdoor activities are constantly interrupted by these apologetic, grateful creatures. The squirrels’ behaviour is defined by their relentless politeness. Every interaction they have—whether it’s climbing a tent pole, scattering supplies or simply moving about the site—is accompanied by an apology or a word of thanks. Their limited speech pattern, combined with their high energy, means that the camp is effectively overrun by a chorus of “sorry” and “thank you”, leaving the human occupants to navigate a landscape where courtesy is the only language spoken. Overall, the episode centres on this unusual invasion, using the squirrels’ exclusive use of “sorry” and “thank you” to shape the entire narrative. The premise remains simple yet distinct: a camp overtaken not by danger, but by an army of well‑meaning, over‑enthusiastic squirrels whose sole contribution to conversation is a continual stream of polite expressions.
