00:00Here is the clock, the Trumpton clock, telling the time steadily, sensibly, never

00:19too quickly, never too slowly, telling the time for Trumpton.

00:49The Trumpton clock.

01:05The Trumpton clock.

01:19Mr Mannings, the printer, is trying to decide if it's going to be a fine day.

01:43Yes, no clouds about. An excellent day for window cleaning.

01:49Here's Miss Lovelace from the hat shop. She's taking her peeks for a walk in the park.

01:56Good morning, Mrs Cobbett.

01:59Good morning, Mr Munnings, says Miss Lovelace.

02:02Oh, you are energetic. My windows are very grubby, I'm afraid.

02:05But to tell you the truth, I simply hate going up ladders.

02:09It's no job for a lady, says Mr Munnings.

02:12There's the man to do the job for you, Miss Lovelace, the window cleaner himself.

02:15Ah, splendid, says Miss Lovelace. I must see him at once. Come along, my darlings.

02:25Morning, ma'am. Clean your windows today.

02:28Oh, yes, please. I was just telling Mr Munnings that they needed doing very badly.

02:33I'll have them clean in no time, says Mr Robinson.

02:36Good. I'm just taking my little ones to the park. I'll be back in a few minutes.

02:40Come along, Mitzi.

02:41And Mr Robinson sets to work.

02:46It is hard to see out or for light to come in

02:59Through windowpains coated in a thin layer of grime

03:05Mullioned or latticework, frosted or played

03:12Your windows will let in the sunshine again

03:16If you send for the man who cleans windows in time

03:20Send for the window cleaner, don't delay

03:28Send today, he will come with his ladder, his leather and pail

03:31And wash all the grime away

03:33He will put up his ladder and fill up his pail

03:36Ring out his leather and give it a shake

03:38The pains that he cleans he will clean without fail

03:41Because of the pains he will take

03:42Because of the pains he will take

03:45Send for the window cleaner, don't delay

03:54Send today, he will come with his ladder, his leather and pail

03:57And wash all the grime away

03:59Here's Chippy Minton, the carpenter, and his son, Nibs

04:22Can't be a minute, Nibs

04:24I'll just say if Mr Platt has mended my alarm clock

04:26Good morning, Nibs

04:30Morning, Miss Lovelace

04:31Won't be long now, ma'am, says Mr Robinson

04:36While you are up your ladder, says Miss Lovelace

04:39Would you be very kind and go a little further?

04:42I lit the parlour fire this morning and it's smoking dreadfully

04:45I wonder if you could have a look at the chimney

04:47It might be a loose brick or something

04:49Right you are, ma'am, says Mr Robinson

04:51I'd be glad of someone to hold the ladder, though, if I'm going that high

04:55Can I help, asks Nibs

04:57I'm very strong

04:58Good lad, says Mr Robinson

05:00I'll make a cup of tea, says Miss Lovelace

05:03Come along, my darlings

05:04Quack, quack

05:05Good lad, says Miss Lovelace

05:25Come on, Nibs, says Chippy. We've got a lot to do this morning.

05:38Oh, Dad, I can't come for a moment. I'm just...

05:40No arguments, Nibs. Are you coming or shall I leave you behind?

05:55Tea's ready, calls Miss Lovelace.

05:59Oh, nobody here. What a pity.

06:04Ah, Mrs Cobbett.

06:08Would you like a cup of tea, Mrs Cobbett?

06:10It's all ready, and I'm sure Mr Munnings would be pleased to keep an eye on your flowers.

06:15Very kind of you, Miss Lovelace. It's a mite chilly this morning.

06:25Now, Mitzi, Daphne, Lulu, be quiet, says Miss Lovelace. You'll upset Mrs Cobbett's tea.

06:38You must show me some of your hats, Miss Lovelace, says Mrs Cobbett.

06:43You know I do love your little shop. It's so pretty with all the ribbons and flowers.

06:48I'm glad you like it, Mrs Cobbett. I'm very fond of it myself, and of course I do love making hats.

06:55I made this one yesterday. I'm rather pleased with it. Suitable for formal occasions.

07:02A hat for a lady so fine and so grand

07:07Must always be fashioned with a pure silken band

07:12And one single hatpin of a silver so rare

07:18To set as a contrast to her glossy black hair

07:23Oh, yes, Miss Lovelace, that's beautiful

07:29Here's the mayor with Mr Troop, the town clerk

07:36Whose ladder is that, Mr Troop?

07:40I don't know, Your Worship

07:41Ladders, says the mayor, should not be left unattended

07:45Simply asking for burglars, Mr Troop kindly get it moved

07:48And put up a notice asking the owner to claim it

07:50Now, where's Philby?

07:52Here he comes, Your Worship

07:53John knowledge is PERFECT

08:00Oh, dear man, I'm

08:06a guitarist

08:06Now, where's Phil pleats?

08:07You know what?

08:08And he's just standing on that CNC

08:08YAKU

08:11And he's just standing on that

08:11I'm going to use

08:12You know what?

08:14And they're kind of

08:15That won't be here

08:17Up on Miss Lovelace's roof, Mr Robinson has found a bird's nest stuck in the chimney.

08:35No wonder it was smoking.

08:40Here, where's my ladder?

08:43He can't get down without his ladder, and there's nobody in the square to ask.

08:47Ah, here's a policeman.

08:57Help! Rescue! I'm up here!

09:04Up on the roof! Look!

09:09Bless my soul, a bird's nest.

09:12Good gracious, whatever are you doing up there?

09:15I'm a window cleaner. Someone has taken my ladder away, and I can't get down. Can you help?

09:22Leave it all to me, sir. Just keep calm.

09:26Hello. Constable Potter here. There's a gentleman stuck on the roof of the hat shop in Trumpton Market Square.

09:32Will you contact the fire brigade, please?

09:34Over and out.

09:35Soon have you down, sir.

09:47Trumpton Fire Station. Captain Flack here.

09:50A police call?

09:51Yes.

09:52Man on roof?

09:54Yes, of course we can.

09:55Right away. Right away.

09:56Pew, pew, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

10:19Whee!

10:20Grr!

10:29We're at the bottom.

10:31Mm-hmm.

10:40We're at the bottom.

11:10Cuthbert, get out of the box. Elevate.

11:32Enter the box, please. Descend.

11:40Mr. Robinson is safe and sound.

11:47Oh, my goodness, says Miss Lovelace. What a terrible adventure.

11:51Captain Flack, you and your brave firemen must have some tea, and Mr. Robinson too.

11:56And off she goes to pour the tea.

11:58What I'd like to know is, says Mr. Robinson, who took my ladder?

12:04So would I, says Captain Flack.

12:08Mr. Troop is posting a notice outside the town hall.

12:11Whatever can it be?

12:16Captain Flack reads it out.

12:19Found. One extending ladder. Will the owner please apply to the town hall?

12:24Well, I never.

12:26Everyone laughs, and in the middle of it all, the mayor arrives.

12:34Goodness me, says the mayor. What's all the laughter about?

12:38The notice, your worship, says Mr. Troop. Everyone seems to think it very funny.

12:42Tea, says Miss Lovelace. All nice and hot.

12:45Oh, good morning, your worship. Would you like a cup?

12:48Thank you, Miss Lovelace. Most kind.

12:51Captain Flack can't stay for a cup of tea.

12:53It's the band concert this afternoon, dear lady, he says,

12:56and we must go back to the fire station, or we'll never be ready for it.

12:59Please excuse me.

13:11A band concert, says Mr. Robinson. That sounds nice.

13:15I think I've cleaned enough windows for today, and inspected enough chimneys, too.

13:19I shall take the afternoon off, and go to the band concert.

13:23So shall I, says the mayor.

13:25And so shall I, says Miss Lovelace.

13:30Yes, darlings, you shall go, too.

13:32Yes, darlings, you shall go.

13:39Yes, darlings, you shall go, too.
