Peppa Pig

The playgroup gathers on a bright yellow bus, prepared to travel to the museum. As the journey is about to begin, the children discover that Pedro is missing. Their planned group outing cannot proceed until his whereabouts is clearly known.

Pedro Is Late is a programme presented as an episode. It falls within the genre of a short playgroup story, and its title hints at a punctuality problem involving one of the characters. The piece is structured as a self‑contained segment rather than a full series, offering a concise narrative. The central scene takes place on a bus that the playgroup has boarded in preparation for a visit to the museum. All the children and their supervisors are gathered, tickets are ready, and the vehicle is poised to set off. At that moment the group discovers that Pedro is nowhere to be found. The quick realisation that Pedro is missing catches the playgroup off guard. The members look around the bus, noting his absence among the usual crowd. Their attention shifts from the upcoming museum trip to the fact that one of their own has not arrived with the rest of the group. With the bus still ready to depart, the playgroup quietly faces the dilemma of proceeding without Pedro or waiting for him to appear. The episode leaves the situation open, focusing on the moment when the group's plans are interrupted by the sudden awareness that Pedro is missing.
