(Theme music)

Text reads, TVOKids Presents

Felix, a puppet of a dog with floppy ears and brown and white fur wearing a yellow T-shirt with blue and white stripes and a blue hoodie, stands in front of a row of three-storey buildings on a street.

Felix says, IS THERE A DOCTOR
IN THE HOUSE?

Annie, a puppet of a pig with shaggy orange hair wearing a pink dress, looks out a window in one of the buildings.

Annie says, YES, AND HE'S A MOUSE.

Dr. Cheddar, a puppet of a white mouse wearing a blue lab coat with a stethoscope around his neck, waves from a window on the top floor of one of the buildings.

An announcer says, YOU'LL FEEL
BETTER WITH DR. CHEDDAR!

Title: Dr. Cheddar

Dr. Cheddar sits in front a computer in his office. He wears a black vest over his lab coat. He taps a smart watch on his wrist.

Dr. Cheddar says, SWIPE, TAP, SWIPE.
TAP.
UGH.
OH, HELLO THERE.
I'M DR. CHEDDAR HERE TO
HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO CALL ANNIE
AND SEE WHAT SHE'S DOING.

(Keyboard clicking)

Dr. Cheddar taps his fingers on a computer keyboard. He waves at the computer screen.

Dr. Cheddar says, HELLO, ANNIE.
I SEE YOU HAVE YOUR
BACKPACK AND LUNCH,
ALL READY FOR SCHOOL.

Annie wears a red sweater over her pink dress. She sits at a desk with coloured pencils in a holder on it, and a colourful backpack beside her.

Annie says, YEP.
I HAVE TO GO SOON.

Dr. Cheddar says, DID YOU CHECK THE WEATHER?

Annie says, HUH?

Dr. Cheddar says, EACH DAY I CHECK WHAT
THE WEATHER WILL BE LIKE
SO I CAN PUT ON THE CLOTHING
THAT WILL KEEP ME COMFORTABLE.

Annie says, IS THAT WHY YOU
HAVE THAT VEST ON?

Dr. Cheddar says, IT SURE IS.
I WOKE UP FEELING A LITTLE COOL
AND THIS VEST IS
HELPING ME STAY WARM.
OH OH ANNIE,
WHY DON'T YOU LET
ME CHECK FOR YOU
WHAT KIND OF DAY WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE ON MY NEW SMART WATCH!
IT CAN TELL ME THE DATE AND
THE TIME AND EVEN THE WEATHER.
HAHA. LET ME SEE.

(Piano music)

Dr. Cheddar looks at the smart watch and taps it.

Dr. Cheddar says, I THINK I TAP, TAP, TAP.
NO, NO, NO. WAIT A SEC.
IT'S TAP, TAP, SWIPE, NO SWIPE.
NO, THIS WAY SWIPE.
TAP, TAP, SWIPE.

Annie taps her fingers together, then turns her head.

Annie says, OH.

Annie walks from her desk towards a window.

Dr. Cheddar says, SWIPE. JUST A MOMENT, ANNIE.
IF I TAP IT AND TIP, TIP, TIP.
MAYBE IF I SHAKE IT.
THAT'S NOT WORKING.
TAP, SWIPE.

Annie opens a curtain and looks out the window. Rain streams down the window.

Annie says, HMM. IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE.

(Rain spattering)

Annie says, I DON'T WANNA GET WET.

Annie walks towards a row of coathooks with coats, a hat, and an umbrella hanging from them.

(A bell chimes)

A light shines on a yellow raincoat.

Annie says, HMM. OH.

Dr. Cheddar looks down at a smart phone.

Dr. Cheddar says, AH HA, HAHA,
THE WEATHER FORECAST
SAYS IT MIGHT RAIN TODA… -
OH, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE
READY FOR SOME RAINY WEATHER.

(Dr. Cheddar laughs)

Annie stands behind her desk wearing the yellow raincoat.

Annie says, YUP.
I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND
SAW THAT IT WAS RAINING.
THIS RAINCOAT AND MY
UMBRELLA WILL KEEP ME DRY.
AND WITH THESE RAIN BOOTS,
I CAN WALK THROUGH
ALMOST ANY PUDDLE.

Annie stamps her feet.

Dr. Cheddar says, WONDERFUL. HAVE A
GREAT DAY ANNIE. GOODBYE!

Annie says, THANK YOU. GOODBYE.

(Chime)

Annie picks up the backpack and waves.

Dr. Cheddar says, WELL, THAT WAS A
GOOD REMINDER FOR ME
THAT YOU CAN ASK SOMEONE
IF THEY KNOW THE WEATHER
OR YOU CAN LOOK OUTSIDE
AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF
AND SEE WHAT YOU'LL NEED
TO STAY COMFY FOR THE DAY.

(Dr. Cheddar laughs)

Dr. Cheddar says, UNTIL NEXT TIME,
I'M DR. CHEDDAR
HOPING YOU FEEL BETTER
ABOUT CHECKING THE WEATHER
TO SEE WHAT TO WEAR.

(Dr. Cheddar laughs)

Dr. Cheddar says, NOW, HMM WHERE'S MY UMBRELLA?
AH HAHA.

Dr. Cheddar searches back and forth and walks away.

(Rain spattering)

Annie stands outside a pair of wooden entrance doors in the rain. She wears the yellow raincoat and has a blue umbrella with a shark face design open over her head.

Annie says, YAY.

(Footsteps through puddles)

(Gentle music)

(Fireworks explode)

Dr. Cheddar, Annie, and Felix point at the night sky and say,
WHOA. WOW. LOVELY.
