Pufferty is far too large to fit onto any of the funfair rides, meaning he cannot take part in the attractions like the other visitors. Tommy and Tallulah therefore think he will have a good time if they turn him into the roller coaster itself.

Funfair Time is a programme presented as an episode‑length story. It falls under the genre of a light‑hearted adventure, offering a brief but self‑contained narrative that follows a small group of characters as they navigate a day at a travelling fair. The format is straightforward, focusing on a single, amusing incident. At the heart of the episode is Pufferty, a character whose size makes the ordinary fair attractions unsuitable for him. The rides are simply too small, leaving Pufferty unable to take part in the usual thrills that the other visitors enjoy. This mismatch creates a dilemma for the group, as they want Pufferty to have a good time despite his unusual proportions. Tommy and Tallulah, two of Pufferty’s friends, come up with a creative solution. Rather than trying to fit him onto the existing rides, they suggest that Pufferty could become the roller coaster himself. Their idea is that by turning him into the main attraction, Pufferty would get to experience the excitement in a way that suits his size. The plan hinges on the notion that becoming the roller coaster will give Pufferty the fun he’s missing. By reimagining the fair’s biggest ride as a living participant, Tommy and Tallulah hope to turn a limitation into a unique source of enjoyment for their oversized friend.
