00:30There's a place, alive with the magic of imagination, and all the colors of the rainbow.
00:57There's a place where the heart and mind always play together.
01:09There's a place to learn from, laugh about, and grow with.
01:16There's a place that's miles from the everyday, yet so close to home.
01:22There's a place where friends are funny, furry, and often four-legged.
01:29There's a very special place just waiting for you.
01:35It's called ABC for Kids, the best in children's entertainment, to take home on video today.

03:31.
03:32Oh, look, I do love the village fate.
03:38Do you know, I've never missed one since I was a girl.
03:41Mind, it's not like the old times.
03:44Oh, no, brass bands and drums, trumpets.
03:48Oh, but I hope there'll be some sort of music.
03:53Mm-hmm. Oh, I'm sure.
03:56My old dad, you know, he played the...
04:01Bless me, what did he play?
04:03I know he made a lovely sound, something big and boomy-like.
04:08I wonder whatever became of it.
04:11Here you are, Granny Dryden.
04:13Well, never mind.
04:15Now, Mrs. Goggins, would you kindly ask Pat to be sure to pop in this afternoon?
04:20I will, I will.
04:21That attic of mine.
04:23You know, there's all sorts of things up there.
04:25I've been wanting to get it cleared out ever since that old chimney pot blew off.
04:32Hello, Granny Dryden.
04:34Morning, Peter.
04:38Hello, Pat.
04:39Hello, Peter.
04:41Look at this.
04:43I thought you'd given up that old guitar.
04:46Nay, I'm off to Pencaster to learn how to play it properly like.
04:51You never know, I might get on the telly with it.
04:55It would be nice to play something, something big and boomy.
05:01You're sounding cheerful today, said Mrs. Goggins.
05:11It's the music in the air, said Pat.
05:15Music, said Miss Hubbard.
05:17That's what we need for a good fate.
05:20Now then, Reverend.
05:21Do you think that old record player of yours could keep going long enough to churn out a few jolly old tunes?
05:29Oh, I think Ted will be able to mend it.
05:32He's kept it going all these years.
05:35Oh, Pat.
05:36I nearly forgot.
05:38Granny Dryden asked if you'd pop in.
05:42Righto.
05:42Bye, Pat.
05:43Bye, Pat.
05:44I expect she's got something for the fate.
05:47Bye, all.
05:49Bye, Pat.
05:50It's time for Pat to be on his way.
05:53Bye, Pat.
06:23Morning, Granny Dryden.
06:46You've got two letters today.
06:50Oh, Pat, I'm glad you've come.
06:51There's some things in the attic and they'll be just right for the fate.
06:58You know, some old hats and dressmakers dummies and things.
07:02Could you climb up and have a look?
07:04Me old legs, you know, they're too wobbly for that ladder.
07:08They'll be there somewhere.
07:10Now, mind how you go.
07:13Let's have a look.
07:15Up we go.
07:19Do be careful, Pat.
07:20Hmm, it's a bit dark up here.
07:29I won't be able to see a thing.
07:32Hmm.
07:35Where do I start?
07:37What's in here?
07:38Ah, a torch.
07:40And it works.
07:41And it works.
07:47Right now.
07:48Down to business.
07:49Oh, dear, what a jumble.
07:59Just like my granddad's hat.
08:02Must have been here since I was a lad.
08:04Hmm, stylish.
08:09Hmm, I like that.
08:12What's over here?
08:13A chair.
08:15A coffee pot and kettle.
08:18Boxes and tubs.
08:19I say, this looks promising.
08:24Oh, it's some sort of a...
08:27Hooppa thing, I think.
08:29It's too dusty to blow.
08:32Now then, better get this locked down.
08:36Look out below.
08:39Whoops.
08:47Whack.
08:48Here, Pat, you give me such a fright.
08:50I thought it was my old dad for a minute.
08:53You know, after playing the Greendale Brass Band.
08:56Do you know you're the very image of him?
08:59Now I remember, Pat.
09:00It was the Tuba, that's what he played.
09:03I tell you what, you know you're welcome to it.
09:05Why don't you learn to play it?
09:07You know, we could have a new band in Greendale.
09:10Real live music for the fate.
09:13Well, I might do that.
09:15Seems the right sort of size for me.
09:23Big and boomy.
09:25Better than that little old bugle I had
09:27when I was a lad in the scouts.
09:29Thanks, Granny Dryden.
09:31Very kind of you.
09:37Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
09:40Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
09:45Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
10:15What do you reckon to this, Ted?
10:19Oh, stop!
10:22Well, Ted...
10:26I reckon it wants a spot of something before it gives me headache, Pat.
10:31Let's try a drop of oil.
10:35It's good stuff, this.
10:41It's a bit overpowered, Pat.
10:44Here, try some of these rags down its throttle.
10:47Thanks, Ted. I'd best be on me way now.
10:52Bye, Pat.
11:02Oh, dear. She won't start, Ted.
11:05Nay, it's no good, Pat. I can't mend it just now.
11:09It needs a new plug.
11:15Oh, dear, Jess. How on earth are we going to deliver all our letters?
11:19I'll tell you what, Pat.
11:22You could take the post bus out.
11:25I can give you a lift into the village to pick it up.
11:28I think you'd better sit in back with that thing.
11:32I can't risk getting a blast from it when I'm driving.
11:35Young Jess can keep me company.
11:42Are you with us, Pat?
11:46Ready.
11:47And off they went.
11:48But Pat just couldn't resist having another toot on the tube.
12:00Ouch! What was that?
12:10Poor PC Selby.
12:12He ended up in a heap on the road.
12:15Pat was so busy puffing and blowing that he didn't see him.
12:19They passed Alf Thompson on his tractor.
12:23Ouch!
12:25What was that?
12:27Sounds like a tyre blowing.
12:29What a noise.
12:31Help!
12:33Roadhog!
12:34Here we are, and a good thing too, Pat.
12:36You and your blooming tuber.
12:37Shouldn't be allowed to make a noise like that.
12:39Terrible rumpus.
13:06Pat was on his way again.
13:22At Thomson Ground Jess thought he would stay somewhere quiet.
13:27But there was no one about.
13:29So Pat thought he'd have just one more try to get music from his tuba.
13:35What's going on out here?
13:46What was that terrible noise?
13:49Sorry Dorothy, it was only me trying to make music.
13:53Music Pat?
13:55It sounded more like a bomb going off.
13:57I never heard the likes of it.
14:00Dear me, there must be somewhere I can practice without frightening everyone.
14:04Music
14:17Ah, looks quiet enough here.
14:40Nobody about.
14:45Hmm, nice and shady.
14:47Just imagine if I could, really, really could, play the tuba.
15:09Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
15:15We could have a great time making music, like the old days with the village band.
15:22I would practice every day
15:25So I could join and play
15:27And I'd try to make a very lovely sound
15:31I'm so lucky that I found this lovely tuber
15:36Now I've got a chance to try my hand
15:39With my practice every day
15:42I'd soon be proud to say
15:45That I can make a really lovely, really proper sound
15:49Putting up the music, we must get to know the score
15:54Think what we can play
15:56Or our music will be sure to have a beat
16:02And the tuber, it would make a sound
16:05Sure to give a richer sound
16:07No mistake would make the sound complete
16:10It's lucky that I found this lovely tuber
16:17Now I've got a chance to try my hand
16:21With my practice every day
16:24I'd soon be proud to say
16:26That I can make a really lovely, really proper sound
16:31I'll try to make a really lovely, really proper sound
16:40Phew, I must have dropped off
16:49Now then, let's have one more go at this tube
16:53Miss Hubbard was busy in her garden
16:58Oh dear, my prize blooms
17:12What was that?
17:14Morning Miss Hubbard
17:15A parcel for you
17:16Did you hear that dreadful noise, Pat?
17:20What do you think it was?
17:22Erm, well
17:24I couldn't rightly say, Miss Hubbard
17:27I'll have to dash
17:28Lots of tube, I mean, letters today
17:31Bye
17:32Well
17:33I never in all my days
17:37Later that evening
17:41P.C. Selby was out and about making inquiries
17:44He called at the church
17:47Evening, Reverend
17:51I wonder if you can help me with my inquiries
17:54It's about these strange noises
17:58There have been reports from all over Greendale
18:01Some folks think it might be intruders from outer space
18:05Even I, an officer of the law
18:08Was thrown from my bike by a loud noise
18:11And a vibration in the air
18:13Um, yes, officer
18:15This requires some thought
18:18You know what the Bible says, I suppose
18:21Make a loud noise and rejoice
18:24Dear heavens
18:26What's that?
18:29That's it, Reverend
18:30Dreadful, I'd call it
18:32I'll go and investigate
18:34Stay here, Reverend
18:36And if I'm not back in five minutes
18:38Allow me to join you, officer
18:41Now, Reverend
18:42This is a job for the constabulary
18:44Oh, but I insist
18:46Two heads are better than one
18:49And besides
18:54I know my way around the churchyard in the dark
18:57Now, Reverend
19:02We must go quietly
19:04Or we'll never catch it
19:06Lord, defend us
19:07Careful, Reverend
19:15We're close
19:17Maybe I should fetch help
19:20No time for that
19:21Aha!
19:23I can see the culprit
19:24A mysterious shape in the gloom
19:27Look
19:29Over there
19:30Good heavens
19:37It's Pat
19:38Pat?
19:40Hello, Reverend
19:41Hello, PC Selby
19:43What's all this about, Pat?
19:46Well, it's me tuba
19:48Most commendable
19:50He wants to make music
19:52Oh, yeah
19:52But you didn't fall off your bike, did you?
19:54I'll have a word with Major Forbes
19:57He can teach you, Pat
19:59He played something like it in the army
20:01It's time to get ready for the fate
20:07Ted Glenn's fixing the bunting
20:10Pat's giving him a hand
20:13Everybody helped
20:17PC Selby came to keep an eye on things
20:20He soon had his hands full
20:22Whatever are these dummies for, Pat?
20:29Therefore, they'll knock the hat off stall
20:31As well as helping with the preparations for the fate
20:36Pat had his rounds to do
20:38There were some letters for Thompson Brown
20:49Dorothy was making jam
20:58To sell at the fate
20:59Morning, Mrs. Thompson
21:01Er, I'll put these letters here
21:04Bye
21:05Bye, Pat
21:06And in between
21:23He had his tuba lessons at Major Forbes
21:26Ready now?
21:29One, two, three
21:31Good man
21:34At last, it's time for the fate
21:37Pat's collecting the children from the school
21:40Not forgetting the teacher, Mr. Pringle
21:43It'll be a real squash
21:48Roll up
21:50Three balls for five feet
21:52Try your luck
21:53Knock all the hats off and win a prize
21:56Come on, Charlie Pringle
21:58Have a go
21:59Roger
22:00Off
22:01Off
22:02Off
22:03Off
22:04I won, I won
22:06First prize and all
22:08Oh
22:09Uh, thanks
22:11Did you hear that?
22:14I think the old record player's given up the ghost, Reverend
22:20Let's just check these leads
22:24Hmm, looks all right
22:28This one seems okay, Ted
22:32It's your old valves, Reverend
22:35They've gone pop
22:37And you can't get this type now
22:39Then that's the end of the music
22:42Oh, but we've always had music at the fate
22:47Ever since I was a young lass and won the club dance competition
22:51Well, this won't play again, that's for sure
22:55I don't know what else we can do
22:58Hold on
22:59I've got an idea
23:01Uh, Miss Hubbard
23:03Could I have a word?
23:07I wonder where they're off to
23:09Heading for Miss Hubbard's
23:21Yes, that's where Pat's stopped
23:25And here's Peter Fogg on his motorbike
23:31Peter's giving them a hand
23:36What's this for?
23:39It's for the fate, said Pat
23:40Mind how you go, Pat
23:42How about bringing your guitar and joining in?
23:51Hey, champion, said Peter
23:53The piano jangled a bit on the way back
24:00What's happening?
24:06Look, a piano
24:09Gently now
24:12Oops
24:13Oh, do be careful
24:18It's a good job it's on wheels
24:21Stop
24:22That'll do
24:23Here's Peter with his guitar
24:26All right, Major
24:30Good man
24:33Here's an A
24:52I say
24:55Could I just borrow one of these?
24:58Thank you so much
24:59All ready now?
25:05Ready when you are, Major
25:07By the right
25:09Quick
25:10March
25:11I mean
25:13All together now
25:15One, two, three
25:18It puts me in mind of the days when I was a loss
25:35Isn't it just that?
25:37Isn't it just that?
25:38Isn't it just that?
25:38Fair
25:39Isn't it just that?
27:18Just as day is dawning, he picks up all the post bags in his van.
27:25Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his black and white cat.
27:30All the birds are singing and the day is just beginning.
27:37Pat feels he's a really happy man.
27:40Everybody knows his bright red van.
27:47All his friends will smile as he waves to greet them.
27:52Maybe you can never be sure there'll be knock, ring, letters through your door.
28:02Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his black and white cat.
28:10All the birds are singing and the day is just beginning.
28:16Pat feels he's a really happy man.
28:18Pat feels he's a really happy man.
28:24Pat feels he's a really happy man.
28:32It was a windy day in Greendale.
28:38Hang on, Jess.
28:40It's a difficult job driving in this wind.
28:46Help!
28:47I can't see!
28:48Alf Thompson was nearly blown off his feet
29:18Look out
29:25Hmm, how are we going to get past this lot, said Pat
29:48Oh, hello, Jess
29:59Hello, Pat
30:03It was Peter Fogg on the other side
30:06Hey, this wretched wind, he said
30:09Blowing trees down all over the place
30:12Don't worry, Pat
30:14I'll soon shift it
30:15I'll nip down the forestry place and borrow their machine
30:19No wonder it blew over
30:31It's rotten
30:33Peter was soon back with the log lifter and a power saw
30:53Now then, we'll soon cut our way through
30:57Stand back, these things don't have to go
31:05I'll just get these branches out of the way, Peter
31:21I'll just get these branches out of the way, Peter
31:51Now then, let's see if we can move the pieces
31:53Phew, it's warm work
31:56You're welcome
32:00Let's go.
33:30Hmm, should be able to get through there, said Pat.
33:43Then went for his van.
33:45But it had gone.
33:46Oh!
33:52Where could it be?
33:53There it was, safe and sound.
34:07It was just along the road, next to Sam's mobile shop.
34:15I moved your van down the road, said Sam.
34:18I could see your new paint was going to get scratched with all these branches flying about.
34:22Thanks, said Pat.
34:28It is smart, isn't it?
34:30Royal crown and all.
34:31Cheerio, Sam.
34:46Cheerio!
34:47Thanks, Peter.
35:03Cheerio!
35:04Cheerio!
35:04We'll have to get a move on now, Jess.
35:15Now what?
35:16Ouch!
35:39Ouch!
35:39My hat!
35:51Come here.
35:53Oh, no!
36:02I'll never catch it now.
36:04It's that cable again.
36:29I'll soon fix that.
36:30I'll never catch the car.
36:56There was nobody about at the village school.
37:18Have they all been blown away?
37:22The children were out enjoying the wind.
37:26But the wind wanted to deliver the letters.
37:41In all directions, the children helped to find them.
37:49One letter was stuck in a tree.
38:01Careful!
38:10It would be an airmail letter.
38:19What a day!
38:22Hold them tightly.
38:23I think they're all air letters today.
38:26Bill Thompson took them to the headmaster.
38:27And Pat waved goodbye.
38:35Goodbye.
38:48Pat was blown about the valley all morning with his letters and parcels.
38:52It was almost the end of his windy round when he saw a flying towel.
39:05It was one of Granny Dryden's.
39:08He went to help her catch her washing.
39:10Oh, Pat, she said, this wind's terrible.
39:17You are a deer.
39:19I'd never have caught it all by meself.
39:21Look, there's more over there.
39:23Now we've got my washing, what about your hat?
39:44It blew off miles away and sailed down a stream.
39:48Good gracious, said Granny Dryden.
39:53Ted Glenn said he'd look to Postman's hat out of the lake.
39:57I didn't see how it could be yours.
39:59Look, he popped it on the old scarecrow to dry.
40:04It looks like mine.
40:09It is mine.
40:11Thanks, Mr. Scarecrow.
40:30Time to blow home, said Pat.
40:41Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat, and his black and white cat.
40:56I don't know how it could be yours.
