00:04CBB's Bedtime Story
00:08Hello, I'm Tom and this is Woody
00:10And we've been invited to a very special party in tonight's Bedtime Story
00:14And we've been told to wear a hat
00:19Perfect
00:21Tonight's story is called You Must Bring a Hat
00:23And is written by Simon Philip with pictures by Kate Hindley
00:28I received an invitation to a party
00:31You are cordially invited to the biggest, bestest, hattiest party of all time
00:37Starts at 5.30 Wide Brim House, 32 Panama Avenue, West Trilby
00:42You may bring as many extra guests as you wish
00:44But you must bring a hat
00:48Kindest regards, Nigel
00:50Host and fanciest hat judge
00:53P.S. Seriously, don't forget the hat
00:57The party depends on it
00:58P.P.S. Try not to be late this time
01:03Immediately, I panicked
01:04I didn't own a hat
01:06And the invitation specifically stated that I must bring a hat
01:10The party depended on it
01:11I searched everywhere for a hat
01:14But the only hat I could find belonged to a monkey
01:15And that is a lovely hat
01:19Can I borrow it, please?
01:21No
01:22I really, really need a hat for a party
01:25I will give it back
01:27But as he wouldn't negotiate, I was left with no choice
01:29At least I had a hat, even if it was still attached to a monkey
01:32But on arrival, the security was pretty tight
01:36Imitation, please
01:37Imitation, please, said the doorman
01:39Apparently, there were other rules too
01:41Sorry, sir, but we're under strict instructions not to let in any hat-wearing monkeys
01:46Unless they are also wearing a monocle
01:51Luckily, we soon bumped into a badger named Jeff
01:55And he was just the sort of badger we required
01:57I do beg your pardon, chaps
01:59But are you by any chance after a monocle?
02:03Indeed, we are
02:04We need it
02:05For a party
02:07I will lend this monkey my monocle
02:10On the condition that I may accompany you to your shindig
02:17Invitation, please, the doorman said again
02:19Sorry, sir, but we're under strict instructions
02:22Not to let in any hat and monocle-wearing monkeys
02:26If they are accompanied by a badger called Jeff
02:31Unless Jeff can play the piano
02:33Can you play the piano? I asked
02:35Don't insult me, I'm a badger, of course I can
02:38Jeff can play, I said firmly
02:41I'm afraid we need to see that, the doorman replied
02:47Jeff was good, but we still had a problem
02:51Sorry, sir, but we can't let this piano-lending elephant in
02:54He's not wearing a tutu
02:56It's just typical
02:57There's never, ever a tutu around when you need one
03:00But we sorted that problem surprisingly quickly
03:03Surely now we'd be allowed in
03:05But we'd fail to notice the sign
03:09Under no circumstances is a tutu to be worn
03:13Without the supervision of an accompanying penguin
03:19Ah
03:23Martin kindly helped us out
03:24And as he was a very clever penguin
03:26We were already prepared for the next rule
03:29All penguins accompanying pink tutu-wearing elephant's mask
03:32Bring with them a suitcase full of cheese
03:36But it turned out the cheese needed to be sliced
03:38And none of us had thought to bring a knife, had we?
03:40And that was when I broke
03:41I said, look, look, these are the silliest rules I have ever heard
03:46Nigel clearly stated on his invitation that I could bring anyone I wanted
03:51So long as I brought a hat
03:53And I brought a monkey in a hat
03:55So technically I brought a hat
03:57And Nigel, said the doorman
04:01Who's Nigel?
04:03This is Felicity's party
04:08But this isn't number 32
04:09The next door
04:15Oops
04:18Still, Nigel's party was worth the hassle
04:20Even if we were a little bit late
04:29Well, at least we got to the party in the end
04:31And it was a lot of fun
04:32And I don't think that I've ever danced with an elephant wearing a tutu before
04:39Or have I?
04:40All that partying, to be fair, has completely worn me out
04:43And I'm sure you're feeling very sleepy too
04:46I will see you for another bedtime story
04:50Sleep tight
04:50I will see you for another bedtime story
