00:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:30Perkin, Posey and Poodle had been down in the dumps all day.
00:41Whatever's up with you three, said Father Flump.
00:45We're bored, said Perkin.
00:48Very bored, said Posey.
00:51Very, very bored, said Poodle.
00:56Well, I don't know, said Father.
00:59I wish I had time to be bored.
01:03Can't you find anything to do?
01:07No, not a thing, said Perkin.
01:11Well, it's nearly supper time.
01:14That'll keep you busy until bedtime, and then you'll go to sleep.
01:17You can't be bored when you're asleep.
01:21Yes, we can.
01:23We're bored with everything.
01:25We're bored with supper time, said Posey.
01:29And bedtime, said Perkin.
01:32And going to sleep, said Poodle.
01:36Well, why don't you go and find out what's for supper?
01:40That'll keep you busy for the next few minutes anyway.
01:43They thought they might just as well go and see what was for supper.
01:47It might be something really good.
01:49What's for supper, Mother Flump, said Perkin?
01:55Your favourite, said Mother.
01:59Vegetable soup.
02:00Vegetable soup again?
02:03We had that yesterday, said Posey.
02:06And the day before, said Poodle.
02:09But we always have it because you always ask for it.
02:13We're bored with the things we always have.
02:17Why can't we have something really different for supper, asked Posey.
02:22Like, erm, cherry porridge.
02:26Or, erm, chocolate potatoes.
02:30Or fizzy treacle.
02:32Now you're just being daft, said Mother.
02:37Cherry porridge and chocolate potatoes indeed.
02:41And as for fizzy treacle, well, you might just as well ask for jellied onions or carrot and cabbage cake with baked bean jam.
02:49What is all this about funny food, anyway?
02:54It's just that we like to be different and eat different things, said Posey.
03:00And live somewhere different too, said Perkin.
03:04And do different things, said Poodle.
03:08Everything's always the same.
03:11You know, said Mother, I used to feel like that.
03:15I used to want to be just like Aunt Myrtle.
03:18Aunt Myrtle?
03:21Who's Aunt Myrtle?
03:23Haven't I ever showed you a picture of her?
03:26Here she is.
03:29Why did you want to be like her?
03:32Because she wore the most beautiful hats.
03:35I think that's a horrible hat, said Poodle.
03:39Oh, that wasn't her only hat, said Mother.
03:43She had a great many hats and she never did any work.
03:46Look, she did just as she liked.
03:50Well, who did all her work and things?
03:54Her children.
03:56Oh, I don't think I'd like you to be like Aunt Myrtle.
04:01Neither would I now, said Mother.
04:03I found I like to be busy.
04:06Posy didn't say anything.
04:09She was wondering who Father Flump would like to be if he wasn't Father Flump.
04:13Well, I used to want to be like my great-uncle William, said Father.
04:21Oh, said Perkin.
04:23Is there a picture of him in our book?
04:26Well, yes, there should be one.
04:29Ah, yes.
04:30Here it is.
04:31He looks even funnier than Aunt Myrtle.
04:35Why did you want to be like him, said Perkin?
04:40Because he was an explorer, said Father.
04:44What's an extraplorer, said Pootle?
04:47Oh, Pootle.
04:49Not an extraplorer, said Posy.
04:52An explorer.
04:54That's what I said.
04:58What is an extraplorer?
05:02An explorer, said Father, is someone who travels all over the world,
05:09looking for strange animals and places that no one has ever seen or been to before.
05:15I wouldn't like you to be like great-uncle William, said Perkin.
05:19If you travelled all over the world, we'd never see you.
05:23I wouldn't like that, said Posy.
05:26Nor would I now, said Father.
05:29I like being here with all of you.
05:32Does it say if great-uncle William found any strange places or any strange animals?
05:41Oh, that there is a bit about his travels here, said Father.
05:46Uncle William wanted fortune.
05:49Uncle William wanted fame.
05:51Uncle William wanted something rare with which to make his name.
05:56Uncle William travelled far.
05:59Uncle William went to look for a supersonic snail that he'd read of in a book.
06:06Uncle William hunted high.
06:08Uncle William hunted low.
06:10Uncle William hunted everywhere he thought the snail would go.
06:13He sent home picture postcards of the places he had seen.
06:18He sent letters with descriptions of the places he had been.
06:22But he still went on to roam.
06:24Never mentioned coming home.
06:27For each time he thought he'd got it.
06:31It took off like a rocket.
06:32Is there really a supersonic snail, said Perkin?
06:37Ah, said Father.
06:39That would be telling, wouldn't it?
06:41Bet there is, said Pootle.
06:43When I grow up, I'm going to look for it.
06:47Oh, Pootle, said Perkin.
06:51Posey was wondering who Grandfather Flump would like to be, if he wasn't Grandfather Flump.
06:57Well, said Grandfather, when I was young, I wanted to be like my cousin Filbert.
07:08Yes, yes, here he is.
07:11Oh, now, that takes me back to my younger days.
07:16That's cousin Filbert to the life.
07:20What did he do in your younger days, said Perkin?
07:24Oh, he had his own fishing boat, did cousin Filbert.
07:29He was so keen on fishing, he even tried to catch the moon once.
07:34And he was out in all weathers, sailing his boat through waves like mountains.
07:41Well, that's not a good idea.
07:44If you were like him, you might get shipwrecked, said Posey.
07:48And marooned on a desert island, said Perkin.
07:52And we'd never ever see you again.
07:56Cool, said Pootle.
08:00Well, don't worry.
08:03I never could stand getting my feet wet, said Grandfather.
08:07The only thing I'd have caught would have been a cold.
08:11Oh, Grandfather, said Posey, we're glad you're you.
08:18Does it say anything about cousin Filbert in the book, said Pootle?
08:24There's a song about him.
08:26He fished for herring and he fished for sprats.
08:36He didn't use a net, just a sow-wester hat.
08:41With his best bed socks and his sailor's hat.
08:46And his old sea chest with a big black strap.
08:49And a yo-ho-ho and a welly-boot, he sailed the stormy sea.
08:54With a yo-ho-ho and a welly-boot, he sailed the stormy sea.
08:58With a yo-ho-ho and a welly-boot, he sailed the stormy sea.
09:26With a yo-ho-ho and a welly-boot, he sailed the stormy sea.
09:30He sailed north and he sailed south.
09:35He sailed east and west.
09:38He saw sea monsters through his telescope.
09:42From up in the boat's crow's nest, he found a lot of treasure.
09:47And ships at the bottom of the sea.
09:49As he fished for fish and he fished for chips to take home for his tea.
09:53As he fished for fish and he fished for chips to take home for his tea.
10:01Oh, Grandfather, you made that up.
10:08I didn't.
10:09Cousin Philbert did.
10:11I think I need 40 winks.
10:18That's one thing Philbert couldn't do.
10:22He didn't have time.
10:25He was always too busy sailing his boat.
10:28What would you like to be if you weren't posy?
10:41Whispered Perkin.
10:43I'd like to be a lion or a tiger or something fierce that goes grrrr.
10:49Why?
10:52Because then no one would say,
10:54Oh, pootle, when I get mixed up and say something funny.
11:00Oh, pootle.
11:02Oh, grrrr.
11:04Is supper ready yet?
11:11Said Perkin.
11:13Not just yet, said Mother.
11:16Perkin, Posey and pootle were getting bored again.
11:20Can we go outside and play?
11:22Said Perkin.
11:24But it's dark, said Mother.
11:26We want to go out in the dark.
11:29We've never played in the dark before, said Posey.
11:31Go on, let us, just for a little while, said Poodle.
11:38All right, said Mother.
11:40But don't go out of the yard.
11:47Someone switch the moon on, said Poodle.
11:51Nobody switches the moon on, said Perkin.
11:55It just shines by itself.
11:57I've found another moon in this bucket.
12:03Come and look.
12:04I'm going to go fishing like Cousin Filbert.
12:08I'll hook it out with this stick.
12:12Oh, I've broken the moon.
12:15No, you haven't.
12:17It's only a reflection of the moon shining in the water.
12:20Oh, said Poodle.
12:24We could be like Uncle William and explore for strange animals in the dark, said Perkin, feeling very brave.
12:32What's that? said Poodle.
12:35It's only an owl, said Posey.
12:38Owls are different anyway.
12:40They sleep in the daytime and stay awake at night.
12:43Do they eat different things too, said Poodle?
12:46Well, I don't know what owls eat.
12:49Do you, Perkin?
12:52Well, they eat...
12:54Well, I don't know, but I should think it's something really different.
13:00Well, if none of us knows, let's ask someone who does, said Posey.
13:05Inside, Mother Flump was laying the table for supper.
13:11What do owls eat, Mother Flump? asked Perkin.
13:14Worms and spiders, said Mother.
13:18Eww, said Posey.
13:20Imagine worm and spider soup.
13:25Or worm and spider sandwiches.
13:28Or worm and spider pie.
13:31Yuck, said Perkin.
13:33That's a bit too different.
13:34I want something more usual, like, um...
13:39Like, um...
13:42Like, uh, vegetable soup, said Mother.
13:45I'm just going to dish it up.
13:48Yummy!
13:49That's just what I feel like, said Poodle.
13:53So do I, said Perkin.
13:55And me, said Posey.
13:57I love vegetable soup.
13:58It's my favourite.
14:01I'll owe you three, said Father.
14:03Did you find something to do?
14:06We have now, said Perkin.
14:08Mmm!
14:09And we're going to be very busy doing it.
14:12Very, very busy, said Posey.
14:15And I'm going to be the busiest of all, said Poodle.
14:19Are there any seconds?
14:20Once, then...
14:22Maybe, or...
14:22Maybe you're not going to be the busiest of alltracks.
14:25Join me with Omar Hoffman.
14:34And we're going to be the busiest of alltracks.
14:38I'll be the busiest of alletracks.
14:39I'll be the busiest of alltracks here.
14:40Goodbye.
14:41Bye.
14:42Bye.
14:43Bye.
14:44Bye.
14:44Bye.
14:45Bye boogie.
14:45Bye.
14:46Bye bye.
14:46Bye bye.
14:47Bye bye.
14:47Bye bye.
14:48Bye bye.
14:49Hi.
14:50Bye bye.
