00:00My name's James, James the Cat. I've had fame, money and all that. Now I'm here, growing fat, chasing birds and butterflies.
00:29James the Cat.
00:48All was quiet at the corner house, and James was dozing happily in the marigold patch.
00:55Hmm. I haven't seen Pa Rat for a while. I'll pop next door and see how he is.
01:02There, at Pa Rat's garden gate, was a sorry sight.
01:12They say, Pa Rat. Whatever is the matter?
01:15Oh, I can't cope. I just can't cope.
01:20Oh, there, there, old friend. Don't distress yourself.
01:24My Rat's gone.
01:26What?
01:27She's gone to visit her poorly sister, and now the whole place is in uproar.
01:35Just look.
01:37James looked.
01:38The Rat household was indeed in an appalling state.
01:47Little Fenimore cries for his ma all the time.
01:51I want me mum.
01:55And the terrible twins are at it all the time.
02:00It's ghastly, James.
02:02And even me job as a street trader is going to the dogs, and I just don't know what to do.
02:07Now, don't worry, Pa Rat. We, at 104, will help you.
02:13And so they did.
02:15Frida popped Fenimore into her pouch.
02:18Wah! I want me mum.
02:21I want me mum.
02:24There, there, little fella. Don't take on so.
02:27I'll rock you to sleep.
02:32Wah, wah! I feel dizzy. I'm going to be sick.
02:37Rocky took the terrible twins in turn.
02:43Hey, that's no way to say thank you. I'll show you properly.
02:49Mrs. Lavender took over her favourite job. Cleaning up.
02:55And Citron produced delicious food for the Rat family.
03:01While Dennis did the shopping for them.
03:03Once again, Pa Rat could put his stall in apple pie order.
03:11Oh, my beloved Barra.
03:15Only James did absolutely nothing as usual, except give advice.
03:22Oh, thank you, James. Just think. It takes all you lot to do what my poor old lady has to do all on her own.
03:32Makes you think. I don't half miss her.
03:35I think you should give her a bunch of her favourite flowers as a welcome home present.
03:43Good thinking, James.
03:48When Marat returned, she was delighted with her flowers.
03:51Haven't you kept the place nice, beloved?
03:57Uh, yeah, dear. With a little help from me friends.
04:02Marat had guessed which friends had done all the work.
04:05As a special thank you. I will bake you all a huge apple pie.
04:13But first, James must help me pick the apples from me apple tree.
04:17Nice to see you active for a change, James, eh?
04:24Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:26All right.
04:43That's perfect.
04:47Very good.
