In an episode that re-creates a scene from the French film Amelie, Murphy was returned to Eve Stuart-Kelso with a note saying he had taken off because he had "itchy feet".
In the film, starring Audrey Tautou, a gnome belonging to Amelie's father is taken around the world and photographed to show him how much he is missing out on in life.
Murphy bore immigration stamps to South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong and Laos.
The album of 48 photos showed Murphy abseiling down a mountain, standing in a shark's mouth, swimming in the sea, and riding a motorbike.
Murphy took to his travels with a companion only referred to as "The Bear".
The note which accompanied the gnome explained his disappearance: "There's more to life than watching daily commuter traffic and allowing passing cats to urinate on you."
Mrs Stuart-Kelvo said that to see Murphy back in her front garden was "such a shock".
"I thought, 'Well, it's a bit of mischief but at least he hasn't been put through the window,'" she said.
"Murphy was quite badly damaged and there was a tightly wrapped parcel next to him. My curiosity eventually overcame my alarm, because I did wonder if it might explode.
"Then I saw it was a beautifully bound photo album and opened it up.
