01:17Yippee!
01:18Can we go and play in the snow, Dad?

01:23Seems a pity to waste it
01:24Yahoo!

01:58Ah-ha!
02:11Ah-ha!

02:16Oh, and don't I know it!
02:17Ooh, I don't like the cold me!
02:20Well, it's as warm as toast in here, 99!
02:24That's right!
02:25That'll be me hot water bottles!
02:26Keep me feet warm, they do!
02:28Little hoot!
02:30Are you all right?
02:32Yes!
02:33I'm great!
02:34All lovely and warm!
02:39Cool!
02:41It is warm in here, isn't it?
02:43That's because of 99's hot water bottles!
02:46And talking of hot water, how about a nice cup of tea?
02:49Ooh!
02:50Yes!
02:50Yes, please, 99!
02:53Ooh!
02:53Yeah!
02:54Ooh!
02:54Hey!
02:55Ooh!
02:55Whoa!
02:56Hey!
02:58There's nothing like a cold snap
03:00to bring a bit of fun for the toadlet, says their mother.
03:04No!
03:05Hooray!
03:06This is fun!
03:09Ooh!
03:10Fun?
03:11Is it time for lunch yet?
03:12I'm starving!
03:13Me too!
03:14Oh, dear!
03:16Oh, dear?
03:17What do you mean, oh, dear?
03:19It's going to be hard to get lunch.
03:22Why?
03:23Well, we eat pondweed, don't we?
03:26Yes.
03:27Yeah!
03:27Pondweed!
03:28Pondweed!
03:29Oh, dear!
03:29Oh, dear!
03:30Pondweed!
03:31And where's the pondweed?
03:34Well, it's in the pond, of course.
03:36In the...
03:37Oh.
03:39In the pond, under the ice, where we can't get it!
03:49Hmm.
03:50Interesting.
03:53Most interesting.
03:55Most interesting.
03:55I wonder if I might be able to turn this cold snap to my advantage.
04:05No, it's no good.
04:07The ice is too thick.
04:08Maybe a wide eye would know what to do.
04:12Yes.
04:14Yes.
04:14Maybe, er...
04:16Dad!
04:18Dad!
04:19You're back!
04:20Where did you go to, eh?
04:23I went to have a think somewhere nice and quiet.
04:29Well, while you were away, I made up a song.
04:33A winter song.
04:35You wanna hear it, Dad?
04:37Eh?
04:38No.
04:38Oh, the snow and the ice are really quite nice.
04:44And the frost nips away, you know.
04:49We are going to build a sledge.
04:53Oh, yeah!
04:54A sledge!
04:56Brilliant!
04:57Wicked!
04:58Awesome!
05:00Mega!
05:01Huh?
05:03Who's a sledge?
05:09And so, you see, until it starts thawing again, we're gonna be rather hungry.
05:14Yes.
05:15I see.
05:16It is a bit of a problem, isn't it?
05:18Snow and ice.
05:20And now thunder, too.
05:22Er...
05:23No.
05:23That was my tummy.
05:25Getting a bit hungry.
05:27Oh!
05:28Hello, Father Natterjack.
05:29Are you enjoying the snow and stuff?
05:32Er...
05:32Well, not much.
05:34No.
05:35The pond's frozen over.
05:36And our pond weeds underneath it.
05:38We're getting a bit hungry.
05:40So, he came to see if I could think of a way to help.
05:44Oh!
05:45Oh, I see.
05:47Hmm.
05:49Er...
05:50Dad!
05:51Suppose we were to...
05:53And then...
05:58Do you know, I think that's a rather good idea, Little Hoot.
06:01No.
06:02It's a very good idea.
06:04What?
06:06What?
06:08Oh!
06:09So, that's a sledge.
06:12Yes.
06:13What's it for, Dad?
06:15Aye?
06:17We are going to use this to slide down the hill to those wretched toads' pond.
06:24They won't know what hit them.
06:26But, Dad!
06:28The pond's all wet and watery, and I can't swim!
06:32It's frozen.
06:35We'll slide across it, and kaboom!
06:39We'll send those toads flying like ninepins all over the place!
06:44Ha!
06:44I can't wait to see the looks on their faces!
06:47Come on, son!
06:48Ha!
06:51And you don't mind lending us your hot water bottles, 99?
06:54No, no, no!
06:55Of course not!
06:56Got to help!
06:57There!
06:58It's all finished, and full and nice and hot!
07:02Right.
07:03Time for phase two of Operation Pondweed.
07:06Oh!
07:08Are you sure you can lift them all, Wide Eye?
07:11Of course he can!
07:13Wide Eye can do anything!
07:14Follow the help!
07:17Just another couple of...
07:18Oh, if you hadn't been pushing, baby, I don't think we'd have...
07:24Oh, thank you.
07:27Thank you so much for your assistance.
07:32Don't mention it.
07:34Dad?
07:36What's everyone doing down at the pond?
07:39I don't know.
07:40But I can make all the more mischief with extra people there!
07:45Right!
07:46On the count of three, I want you to give me a big push!
07:50What?
07:51I wanna come too!
07:53No!
07:54This is a one Komodo job!
07:57One, two, three!
07:59One, two, three!
08:09Well, it looks like it's working.
08:12The hot water bottles are melting the ice.
08:15What we need now is something heavy to, um...
08:20Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
08:21Prepare to be discombobulated, you little crazy!
08:25Whoa!
08:26Ow!
08:29Help!
08:31Help!
08:32It's cold!
08:33It's wet!
08:36Here.
08:37Grab that, Wily.
08:40Help!
08:41Help!
08:42Help!
08:45Help!
08:48Thanks for the help, Wily.
08:50Lunch, here I come!
08:52Night time!
08:54And me!
08:56Thanks, Wide Eye!
08:58Don't thank me.
08:59It was Little Hoot's idea.
09:02Hmph!
09:05Well, Little Hoot, I'm proud of you.
09:07That was a really splendid idea of you.
09:13Night, night, Little Hoot.
09:17Hup!
09:17Hup!
09:18Hup!
09:19You know something, Dad?
09:20I think you might have caught a cold.
09:23Hup! Hup!
09:25Never mind!
09:26I know how to cheer you up, Dad.
09:29I'll sing my winter song!
09:34NOOOOOOO!
09:37Hup!
09:38Deep in the forest, what a magical place.
09:41Round every corner, familiar face.
09:44It's a world full of dreams and imagination.
09:51Wide Eye, Wide Eye, up in the big sky.
09:55He's watching our world's friends.
09:58Wide Eye!
10:04Even if you can't touch this.
10:04There's a clear light, the light, right?
10:04The light, the light.
10:05It's just a clear light.
10:05We're going to have a look at the light.
