Private detective Molly has an eye for detail and a strong moral compass. She's also a rabbit. Her newest case involves a number of disappearing hamsters, but hot on their trail are Roscoe and Bailey, two of Fogsworth's finest police detectives... who, it should be mentioned, are cats. Lurking in the shadows are the retired military minds of the town, including an obese pug and his colourful canine henchmen, who serve a sinister mastermind. Molly must team up with the cats and build new frie ...

Come with us on our quest as we walk the ancient trackways and engage with the revenants of our hi ...

When we parted ways last time, Molly had confronted our villain, known to most as Professor Fritz. Everything was looking pretty neat and tidy, with all the baddies in their place, and the hamsters almost home and dry. But in all the commotion, they’d forgotten about a small primate, with big eyes and strong little hands.…

When we last left our heroes, they’d reunited after Patchee’s kidnapping by the dogs who’ve been putting the hamsters to work on a machine to generate power. The mind behind the machine belongs to a fox called Professor Fritz, whose assistant, Sam the slow loris, is now working with Molly, Patchee, and the police detectives Roscoe and Bailey, to pu…

In the last episode, we uncovered the mastermind behind the hamster kidnapping: a fox called Professor Fritz, who paid some dogs to pick up the hamsters, strap them to a set of hamster wheels, and force them to generate electricity. What we don’t yet know is what Fritz plans to do with all this power, but it can’t be good.…

We ended the last episode with Patchee rummaging around the army base where not so long ago, a football squad’s worth of hamsters were locked in cages. Meanwhile Molly’s found the note Patchee wrote about her, which doesn’t seem to have gone down well with Fogsworth’s private detective. What will happen when Patchee meets the blue tentacle?…

Previously... Molly had sent Patchee off to speak to someone who might have a clue as to where the hamsters are being taken. Patchee wants to stay on Molly’s good side after nearly destroying her flat by accident. And speaking of said accident, there might be one thing the young rabbit missed when he was cleaning up Molly’s flat… something about a …

Last week, Roscoe caught Molly snooping around in the park in search of Fogsworth’s hamster kidnapper, who may or may not be a large dog who goes by the name of The General. Meanwhile Patchee, in an attempt to come to his new boss’s rescue, has rather clumsily destroyed Molly’s china, and is in the process of clearing it up.…

The following is a story about rabbits, a couple of cats, a fox, and something called a slow loris, which is a funny-looking primate with big eyes. There's a kidnapping, a daring escape, some unnecessary violence, and later there’s a cow made of chocolate. It’s pretty safe for little ears, but if you’re the type of person who likes to get lost in a…
