Episode 35: The Great MacGrady: Part 1

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC Channel

Join Arthur, possibly the world's most famous eight-year-old aardvark, his sisters DW and Kate, and their friends Buster, Francine, the Brain, Muffy, Sue Ellen, Fern, Prunella and Binky as they encounter the joys and difficulties that all children experience in their adventures through life. Based on the popular children's books by Marc Brown.

When Mrs MacGrady is diagnosed with cancer, Arthur and his friends all react differently to the news. Arthur and DW rush to her side with heaps of chicken soup and stuffed animals, Muffy tries to pretend that nothing in her life has changed, and Francine is so upset that she cannot even bring herself to visit Mrs MacGrady.

In this two-part episode, parents and children learn how they can come together to support Mrs MacGrady and each other, and Lance Armstrong makes a special appearance to show Francine and the Elwood City residents how they can take a stand, or ride a bike, for cancer survivors. Show less
