The Borrowers
S01E05: Episode 5
The family have taken up refuge in an old boot that they have found in the forest. This is the base camp for Pod's excursions out to try and find another family of borrowers, one that is supposed to live in a badger's nest somewhere nearby. This episode introduces a new borrower, a young boy about Arrietty's age that lives in the forest.
Overview
The Borrowers are small, 15cm high humans who live in the English hinterland. They live out their lives in mouse-hole sized nooks in human homes, and survive by 'borrowing' all they need from the house and its inhabitants. This series follows young girl Arriety, and her parents Pod and Homily, as they are displaced from their home and try to find a new home, with the help of a human boy, George.
