00:00Ivor the engine. There he is, coming home from Tanagilch. He's not pulling any trucks.

00:14The only thing he is carrying, apart from Jones' esteem, is a nest full of baby birds on a shelf

00:18in his cab. You know, Mrs. Bird, this is not a satisfactory arrangement. We must find somewhere

00:26a bit more peaceful for you to live. I tell you what, we'll have a word with Mrs. Portie.

00:33I can see her in her garden.

00:40Oh, hello, Mr. Jones. Hello, Ivor. What worries, problems and troubles have you come to tell

00:48me about today?

00:49Oh, nothing special, Mrs. Portie. Just a nest full of baby birds with no place to live.

00:54Look, there they are.

00:55Well, the inside of Ivor's cab is certainly no place for a well-bred bird to live. Oh,

01:02dear me, no. It's too hot, too dirty and too dangerous. No, no, no, no. We must have a

01:08conference. Well, come along, Mrs. Bird. Come along, Mr. Jones. Bring the nest. We shan't

01:14long, Ivor.

01:15Now, then. What have we here? A stuffed moose's head. No. A harp without any strings. No, no,

01:38Let's have a look now.

01:41No, no, not that.

01:44Oh, yes.

01:46Yes.

01:47Oh, now what about that?

01:49But that's a clock.

01:51That's a cuckoo clock.

01:52Oh, that's right.

01:53Or rather it was a cuckoo clock.

01:56I'm afraid the works came out of it a long time ago.

01:58So it's only a box now.

02:01Look, the whole front comes off you to put the nest into it.

02:05Oh, very good.

02:07Very good.

02:09I think that will do.

02:12Now, we've got to decide where to go.

02:15I would invite you to stay here, Mrs. Bird,

02:17only as you see I have cats.

02:20Little Mewkins here.

02:23Little Mewkins is a fierce, cruel bird-eating monster,

02:27aren't you, Mewkins?

02:30She would eat you as soon as look at you, Mrs. Bird.

02:34Well, I reckon as she's a wild bird-like,

02:37she ought to live in a tree.

02:39Of course.

02:40In the apple tree, in the field by Ivor Shed,

02:44then Bluebell can keep an eye on her while Ivor's away.

02:49Oh, come along, Mr. Jones.

02:50Come along, Mrs. Bird.

03:05There we are.

03:06I lift the front off and you put the nest inside.

03:09That's right.

03:10In you go.

03:10And put the front on again and you'd never know they were inside it.

03:15How about that, Mrs. Bird?

03:19Very good.

03:20Very good indeed.

03:22Oh, hello.

03:23Hello, Mrs. Portie.

03:24What are you doing, Edwin Jones?

03:29Fixing up a clock, are you?

03:31That's a cuckoo clock, isn't it?

03:33Well, yes, in a manner of speaking.

03:36What time do you make it?

03:38Oh, it's just on four o'clock.

03:41Four o'clock.

03:43Oh, there we are.

03:45Is it going to cuckoo?

03:46Well, I'm not sure.

03:48That's not a cuckoo.

03:54Oh, what do you think who could oblige us with a bit of cuckooing, Mrs. Bird?

04:02Well, no, I had in mind a sort of cuckoo, cuckoo noise.

04:07Oh, oh, no.

04:09I don't think she is going to cuckoo for us.

04:12So we'd better choose a different time.

04:14How about ten to three?

04:15That will do very nicely.

04:18Put the clock hands at ten to three, and there is honey still for tea.

04:24And I have some fresh scones as well.

04:28So come along, everybody.

04:31Tea time.

04:32Tea time.

04:34Tea time.

04:35Tea time.

04:48Tea time.

04:49Tea time.

04:50Tea time.
