00:00I need James, James the Cat. I've had fame, money, and all that. Now I'm here, growing fat, chasing birds and butterflies.
00:30It was a windy day at the corner house, and Frieda and Citron were playing Leapfrog.
00:51Huh, I think it's a silly game, meself, said Mrs Lavender.
00:56And Madam there looks a right, Ejit.
01:03Oh, oh, me best hat gone. It leapt off me heading over that wall. Oh, help, help.
01:10Hey, hey, little lady, I'll get it. Don't you fret.
01:14Oh, me hero.
01:15Hey, what hit me?
01:23You poor devil, our James. James, where are you?
01:28James was stirred from his afternoon nap and told all.
01:32Mrs Lavender, you just leave it to me. Your cares can be placed on my broad shoulders.
01:37Hmm, broad.
01:42Er, Frieda, just a moment.
01:48Oh, strike me, James. You're heavier than you look.
01:52Anyone else like to see who's next door?
02:08Right.
02:10A new approach, I think.
02:13There, hello.
02:14My name's James, and we'd like the hat back, please.
02:16All the animals peered over the wall, and there, on the other side, was a family of water rats.
02:25What's you staring at? said Parrat.
02:29Er, the hat, actually.
02:33Well, said Marat, it's on me head, and there it's staying. So up it, sonny.
02:38The rat family had moved in for good.
02:42James was appalled.
02:43A pack of common street traders, he was heard to say.
02:50Vulgar, uncouth, luring the tone of the neighbourhood.
02:56Tee-hee-hee, look at that lot.
03:00Oh, blimey. See that pink one?
03:02He's got a pair of rubber gloves for wings.
03:05Ha-ha! And she's wearing a tea cosy.
03:09Why don't you all go back where you came from?
03:13One day, the smallest rat was dared by the others to steal the cherries from James's favourite tree.
03:20Welcome, said James. We've been expecting you.
03:25And we're gonna teach you a lesson.
03:27After you, boss.
03:28Oh, there, there, little fella. Don't take on so.
03:45You want your ma.
03:46So, here you are.
03:50Marat was so pleased to have her baby back, that she instantly returned Mrs. Lavender's house.
03:55And you're all invited to our moving-in party.
04:02At last, everyone became friends, and peace was restored.
04:06Parat, on behalf of my friends, from 104, I must say how nice it is to have, uh, such, uh, interesting neighbours.
04:20To visit your mum's palace.
04:35Oh, oh, well, let's go to the world's paradise Oh, my God, pencil it on you!
