Not Very Well is the 25th episode of the first season of "Peppa Pig".
Description[]
Peppa isn't feeling well and has a bad case of Chicken Pox. Doctor Brown Bear pays a visit and says that Peppa will be fine, but she must stay in bed for a little while. The rash isn't catching, so her friends can come to visit!
Summary[]
Peppa has a rash.
One morning, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig have just finished making breakfast and call Peppa and George. To their surprise, they find red spots all over Peppa and she comments on not feeling well. Daddy Pig phones Dr. Brown Bear and characterizes what has happened. He proposes that Peppa goes back to bed and he shows up a while later to check on her. He has her stick her tongue out, then decides that she has a rash that will clear up pretty soon, although he does have some medicine that she can take for it.
Peppa does not like the medicine, but he compliments her for a job well done, then says she has to stay in bed. He then leaves after promising to call back later to check on her, and since the rash won't spread she can have visitors. So Peppa requests that Suzy Sheep comes over.
They call Mummy Sheep and they let the girls talk together. Peppa explains what had happened and Suzy decides to come over to see Peppa. She dresses up in her favorite costume, and is joined by Danny Dog and Rebecca Rabbit, who have all come to check on Peppa. They ask her what they could do to help and Suzy fetches some orange juice for Peppa. She then asks Danny to ask Mummy Pig if she could have some ice cream, and asks Rebecca to get her some flowers.
Dr. Brown Bear arrives to check on Peppa again and notices that her rash has cleared. She seems a little disappointed about being better though, but is quick to perk up after Daddy Pig offers to go outside to play with everyone using their spotted ball.

Goofs[]
- As with all episodes featuring cars in Seasons 1 and 2, a pile of complaints resulted in seatbelts and child seats added for the 2011 re-releases. In this episode, the seatbelts were added to Suzy, Danny, and Rebecca, but they forgot the child seats.
- When Danny, Suzy, and Rebecca arrive at Peppa's house and say hello to her, Rebecca's lips move, but her voice isn't heard. It is subsequently not heard throughout the episode.
- At the very beginning of the episode when Daddy Pig calls Peppa and George down for breakfast, closed captions in America say, "both giggling", while George is giggling but Peppa is not, due to her illness. In the same scene when they are running downstairs, her nose is shriveled up as if she was snorting.
- Daddy Pig's nose does not shrivel when he snorts twice at the beginning of the episode.
- When the children arrive at Peppa's house, Suzy's first aid kit disappears and reappears between shots.
- When Doctor Brown Bear pours the medicine on a spoon, there should have been more pouring out of the bottle because of the viscosity of most medications.
- When Doctor Brown Bear arrives at Peppa's house, George is first seen standing in front of Daddy Pig, then he is standing in between Mummy and Daddy Pig, then he is standing in front of Mummy Pig.
- There is a drawing shown underneath the cuckoo clock in Peppa and George's room at the beginning half of the episode, but it disappears in the second half of the episode.
- It is unknown how Danny and Rebecca learned that Peppa was sick. Either Mummy Pig called them, Danny and Rebecca were at Suzy’s house when she got the call, or Suzy and Mummy Sheep asked if they could come along. One of these was done off-camera.
- Peppa asks Danny to ask Mummy Pig if she can have some ice cream and then asks Rebecca to get her some flowers from the garden. However, there are no flowers, or a bowl or spoon seen. It is possible that, since most Peppa Pig episodes are five minutes long, they took the bowl, spoon, and flowers downstairs.
