00:02Come on and get on down to the city
00:04Where the trains are climbing through
00:07Hey, look at that driver driving
00:09I want to ride that train on blue
00:12I'm looking way up high to the windings
00:15Take a peek from inside view
00:17All those people busy working
00:20I want to see what they all do
00:22Come on, let's reround the market
00:25And do you hear that hullabaloo?
00:28Everybody's busy sailing
00:30I want to buy me something new
00:33Look through the arches under the station
00:36Down where the pigeons project who
00:39Take a taxi ride to the river
00:41I want to drive down the avenue
00:44Hey, look at those buses gleaming
00:46The weeks are clean and spanking new
00:50All lined up to drive around the city
00:52Webmitting that bear to the moon
00:55I'm going to ride on ride to the school stop
00:58Where the children hurry through
01:00Sit down, the teacher's teaching
01:03I'd love to learn a thing of two
01:05Me too
01:06I'd love to skip in river seeping
01:09River seeping, you'll find a dream
01:11I'd love to skip in river seeping
01:14River seeping, you'll find a dream
01:16Come on and get on down to the city
01:18Yes, sir
01:19Where the fairy books and the blues
01:21Down the moon
01:21Time to call on Granny Murray
01:23Honey, hi
01:24She'd love to say hello to you
01:30Me too
01:33Hello, honey pie
01:35Come away in and see who's at home today
01:38Granny Murray's house has two at home to play
01:41Granny Murray's house is home too
01:44Who's here today?
01:46Well, we've got Ashley and we've got Eva
01:50But don't just sit there puppies
01:52Come on, on your feet
01:55We're going to play a wee game
01:56Called Grandmother's Footsteps
02:00What did I hear?
02:02Oh, they're very good, they're very still
02:08Ah, she's moving
02:11To see if I can catch you moving
02:16Woo
02:18Well done, my girls, that was brilliant
02:21Well, we've got Ashley and we've got Eva
02:25But someone's missing from home today
02:29Oh, not any more. Who's coming home to Granny Murray?
02:33Oh, yes, it's Lisa, with Tina. Hello there.
02:39Tina! Oh! And Lisa, come away through high-high
02:44like they're all the chills of all the chills.
02:48We'd been playing Grandmother's footsteps before you got here.
02:52Oh, all that behind you.
02:54Oh, it makes me think of the pantomime that Raymond and I are putting on in Drumtown.
02:59Oh, of course, your panto. Well, that gives me an idea.
03:02Why don't you all dress Claude up as a pantomime dame?
03:06And we can sit on our seats, dear.
03:09Oh, no, we can't.
03:11Oh, yes, we can't.
03:19So, how's your pantomime coming along? Dick Whittington, isn't it?
03:23That's right. Oh, rehearsals are hilarious.
03:26You should see Raymond in his dame's wig.
03:28Oh, I bet he suits it.
03:30He does. And Lisa's just dying to come and see the show.
03:34Oh, me too. Now, it's in Drumtown Playhouse, isn't it?
03:38That's right. But don't worry about getting there.
03:40I'll take you in my taxi with Lisa.
03:42Oh, thanks, pulpit. You know, for you and Raymond, all the world's a stage.
03:47We just love performing everywhere.
03:52Wow, look at Claude.
03:54Behind you.
03:59Oh, Claude, we could have you in our panto dress like that.
04:03Well, I'd best be off to work now.
04:05For me?
04:07Oh, it's just a little cat like Dick Whittington's.
04:10You have fun today?
04:13Yeah.
04:15Bye-bye. See you later.
04:17Come on then, Tina.
04:22Now, remember, all the world's a stage.
04:26Thank you, Granny Murray. I'll see you later.
04:28Bye-bye, my darling. We'll be thinking of you.
04:30Me too.
04:31Will you keep a wee eye on Tina and make sure she goes the right way to work?
04:40I'd better hurry. Could you tell me the fastest way for me to get to work?
04:47I'm in, in, in, in, in a hurry.
04:50I need, need, need to speed to work.
04:53I'll take a ticket on the subway.
04:56I'll be, be, be, be, be, be, be there quite quick.
04:59Hurry, hurry, hurry through the tunnels.
05:02Clatter, clatter, clatter underground.
05:05Whining, whining, whining drives the speed up.
05:08Squeaking, squeaking, squeaking slows us down.
05:11Clatter, clatter, clatter on the street's done.
05:13Squeaking, squeaking to our stop.
05:16I'm in, in, in, I'm in a hurry.
05:19I need two speeds of work.
05:25Phew, what now?
05:28Of course.
05:29I have to get ready for work.
05:39Hmm, the engine sounded funny then.
05:45I thought so.
05:48There's something wrong.
05:56Ah, it's the alternator.
06:00Right now, where is my...
06:03Oh, there it is.
06:05Take that spare.
06:09Now, this spare alternator looks a bit old.
06:11But it might do the job until I get the chance to buy a new one.
06:20Oh!
06:22Oh, sorry, Tina.
06:24You got a problem?
06:24Yes.
06:25My alternator's broken.
06:27I've got a spare one that I can fit.
06:29But I don't think it'll last long.
06:31Hey, my mate Terry can help you out.
06:33He works at a university and he knows about everything to do with electrics.
06:36I'm sure he can fix your alternator.
06:38Oh, that's brilliant.
06:40Here you go.
06:40Thanks, Mickey John.
06:42All right.
06:42OK.
06:43Yeah, I'll shove it in my bag.
06:45Right.
06:45I'll be back later.
06:47Bye.
06:47Bye.
06:50Don't worry, Lisa.
06:50I'll get you to drum town to see our panto.
06:55I love to skip in riversy bingo, riversy bingo by the sea.
07:00I love to skip in riversy bingo, riversy bingo, that's for me.
07:06Right.
07:07We've nearly got our panto picnic finished.
07:10What about our beautiful princess?
07:13Will we give her a lovely skirt?
07:14Yeah.
07:15There we are.
07:17And there's our magic wand.
07:20Are you looking forward to seeing mum and dad on the stage?
07:23Ah, me too.
07:30Are you working hard, honey?
07:32That's it, all done.
07:33What are you doing, my dove?
07:35I'm fixing the engine.
07:37The alternator went up the spout.
07:39Jolly good.
07:40Shouldn't you be the drum town playhouse getting the stage ready for our panto?
07:44Yes, I've just popped in to get my wig.
07:46Oh, of course.
07:47But don't worry.
07:48I'll be there in plenty of time before you arrive with Granny Murray and Lisa in your taxi.
07:52Oh, great.
07:53I'll see you there.
07:57Well, now that I've fitted the spare alternator into my taxi engine, it's time I got down to
08:03some hard work.
08:32Let's go.
08:32Let's go.
08:33Let's go.
08:33Let's go.
08:33Let's go.
08:33Let's go.
08:41Let's go.
08:48Let's go.
08:53Let's go.
08:58Let's go.
09:00Let's go.
09:14Let's go.
09:16Let's go.
09:22Let's go.
09:23Let's go.
09:25Let's go.
09:25Let's go.
09:26Let's go.
09:51Let's go.
10:19Let's go.
10:22Let's go.
10:23Let's go.
10:23Let's go.
10:33Let's go.
10:49Let's go.
10:52Let's go.
10:53Don't worry.
10:54We can all go over together in my taxi.
10:56Granny Murray and Lisa would love to ride with the star of the show.
10:59Good thinking.
11:07Oh, no.
11:14Oh.
11:15The spare alternator has packed up and I haven't had a chance to get a new one.
11:22Oh, Mickey John.
11:23Oh, thank goodness.
11:25Did your friend at university manage to mend my alternator?
11:28No.
11:28My friend wasn't quite as good as I thought he was.
11:31We did manage to take your alternator apart, but you couldn't put it back together again.
11:38Oh!
11:39I am meant to be taking Granny Murray and Lisa to Drumtown to see the panto, but Raymond's
11:45missed his train and now I can't get my taxi to move.
11:49How did this happen?
11:51Where did the time go?
11:54At ten o'clock I dropped Lisa at Granny Murray's.
11:57I told her about the panto that Raymond and I were doing later.
12:00And I promised Granny Murray that I'd take her to Drumtown for the panto.
12:05At eleven o'clock I got to the garage.
12:08My taxi had a problem with its engine.
12:11The alternator was broken.
12:14Mickey John called by.
12:15He took the alternator away to his friend at the university.
12:19Then I fitted a spare alternator to keep my taxi going in the meantime.
12:24At twelve o'clock Raymond came to the garage to find some panto props.
12:28At four o'clock I realised I was late to pick up Granny Murray and Lisa.
12:33Then Raymond arrived.
12:34He had missed his train.
12:37So we got into my taxi, but it wouldn't start.
12:40And Mickey John's friend hadn't mended the alternator either.
12:44So no one can go to Drumtown to see our panto.
12:48Now remember, all the world's a stage.
12:53All the world's a stage.
12:56Well of course.
12:58We can't do the panto in Drumtown, so we'll do it right here in the garage.
13:05Right.
13:05Mickey John, you go and find Granny Murray and Lisa and anyone else you can round up.
13:11Raymond and I will be telling the story of Dick waiting to Nancy's cat
13:14right here in the Archer's Theatre.
13:17It's a race against time.
13:19I've got to do it. I've got to do it.
13:22I've got to beat the clock before the chime.
13:24I've got to sort it. I've got to sort it.
13:27I've got to do the job on time.
13:29Like a busy bee, I'm going to beat that bong.
13:32I'm going to finish this job before I finish this song.
13:35Do we think she's going to do it?
13:37Do the job that needs to be done?
13:40Will she know how to fix it?
13:41Will she finish what she has begun?
13:44Yes, she's got to try and she'll get there in the end.
13:47Because she knows what she should do, I'm going to do it.
13:49I'm going to do it.
13:52I'm going to beat the clock before the chime.
13:54I'm going to sort it.
13:57I'm going to do the job on time.
13:59Like a busy bee, I'm going to beat that bong.
14:02I'm going to finish this job before I finish this song.
14:06Ladies and gentlemen, the Arches Theatre Company proudly presents
14:10Dick Whittington and his cat.
14:16Oh, I'm fed up just being a poor orphan boy with nothing to eat.
14:21I'm off to London.
14:23And I'll make my fortune on my name's not Dick Whittington.
14:31I could do with a kip.
14:34Hello.
14:36Who's this asleep on my doorstep, poor lad?
14:39Boom!
14:40I'm Aldermere Fitzwarren.
14:42Any work going, gov?
14:43Oh, indeed, you can work in the kitchen.
14:45I'll just call my daughter Alice.
14:47Alice?
14:52Alice, this is Dick.
14:55He's going to stay in the spare room.
14:58Night-night.
15:02Squeak squeak.
15:03Oh!
15:04Oh, crumbs!
15:06My bedroom's full of rats.
15:08First thing tomorrow, I'm going to the shops to buy a cat.
15:12Ah!
15:14I'd like a cat, please.
15:15A pussycat, right?
15:16Um, that'll be one.
15:17Long penny, please.
15:20Here, puss, puss, puss, puss.
15:22Me, yeah?
15:24Come on, puss.
15:25Let's go.
15:29Hey, puss!
15:30That ship's sailing to Zanzibar.
15:32We can have an adventure.
15:35All aboard!
15:38Hello, young man, welcome to Zanzibar.
15:42Hello, mush!
15:44My land is over on with the lads, no?
15:47Oh!
15:49Ooy, the king of the rats, so watch it.
15:52You don't scare me or my cat!
15:55Pop it, ratty.
15:57Ah!
15:58Ah, a muggy!
15:59Bye, rat-face!
16:03Fill this door!
16:04Oh, thanks!
16:06Come on, puss!
16:07Let's go home and ask Alice to marry me!
16:10Me now!
16:15Hello, Dick!
16:17Any chance of marrying Alice and living happily ever after?
16:20I don't see why not.
16:22Oh, Dick!
16:22I'm so happy!
16:24Yay!
16:28We're a hit, darling.
16:29Oh, yes!
16:30I think Lisa enjoyed it!
16:43Tina!
16:45Come away in!
16:47Your mum's here, Lisa!
16:49Oh, hello, Lisa!
16:50Hello, Mummy!
16:51Oh!
16:52Thank you!
16:53Carina, my squeezy cuddle!
16:56And thanks from me too, Granny Murray.
16:58I remembered what you said.
17:00All the world's a stage.
17:02It saved the day!
17:04Oh, I'm pleased!
17:05Right, come on, you two.
17:07Let's get you home.
17:08Come on, Lisa!
17:13Bye-bye, my darlings!
17:15Looking forward to next time!
17:16Oh, me too!
17:17And run!
17:19Come on, shall we go and talk about our time away?
17:22No, it's my time away!
17:23It's my time away!
17:25And I suppose you'll want me to tell you all about my time too?
17:30Well, there was...
17:33Hucking, squishing, walking, pushing, dancing, dusting, sharing, choosing, talking, cooking,
17:36crying, cleaning, saving, cleaning, loving, joking, using things, rushing round, dressing up and sitting down!
17:44Ha!
17:46But what was really special about today?
17:50Well, Claude was dressed as a pantomime dame because we were getting ready to go and watch Dick Whittington and
17:56his cat.
17:58Raymond and Tina were both the stars of the show.
18:01A bit later, we sat on the doorstep for ages waiting for Tina to pick us up in her taxi.
18:06Then there was a change of plan.
18:09Instead of doing the panto in Drumtown, Tina and Raymond made a special stage at the taxi garage and we
18:14watched their panto there.
18:16Oh, it was really funny!
18:19Raymond had to keep changing his costumes.
18:21It was lucky that Tina remembered that all the world's a stage!
18:26I hope you enjoyed yourself!
18:29Me too!
18:31Bye-bye, honey pie!
18:38I want to skip in river sea things, oh, river sea things, oh, bye!
18:43I want to skip in river sea things, oh, river sea things, oh, that's for me!
18:48Come on and get on down to the city!
18:50This city!
18:51Where the fairy books there for green!
18:53Down the world!
18:54Time to call on Granny Marie!
18:56High five!
18:56She'd love to say goodbye to you!
19:02Me too!
