1.34 The Egg Badge
The Egg Badge introduces us to another new character. Egg is one of the most energetic characters in Hey Duggee. I like him but I am glad he doesn’t appear in many episodes as I find him exhausting.
Something I did not notice the first few times I saw The Egg Badge is the dramatic crash zoom when the truth is revealed towards the end of the episode. It is amazing, look out for it the next time you watch.
