00:30Welcome to Tempo Kids Club.
00:32An exciting collection of colourful and entertaining films,
00:36especially selected for young viewers.
00:38They're filled with music and laughter and they feature characters loved by children all over the world
00:45I can't stand it any longer. I have to take a look
00:53Big trouble at the theatre one night
00:56But Barbar the director doesn't give up
00:59The show must go on
01:01It did and the audience loved it
01:05Bravo! Bravo!
01:07Bravo! Bellissimo!
01:11Rain or shine, life is just one cheerful adventure after another for this lovable pup
01:17His mum won't think those muddy paws are funny
01:20But there are plenty of laughs in store for you
01:26Spot, spot, a lovable spot
01:29He's soft and cuddly and he smiles a lot
01:33If there ever was a pup to cheer you up
01:37It's spot, spot, spot
01:51Whenever Will Quack Quack and his mischievous farmyard friends get together, something funny is bound to happen
01:58Guess who falls into a tub filled with soap suds?
02:06You won't have any trouble recognising Bump the elephant
02:10He's the one with the sticking plaster
02:14Just listen to the rhythm of this happy beat as Bump and Birdie bounce along
02:28Hold a little wimple in your home
02:31What's going on in Wimple Village?
02:34A trip to the zoo, that's what
02:35And an exciting escape from the zoo
02:38Put on your wimple hat and join in the fun
02:42And it's guidance you seek
02:44Put on your wimple hat and you'll know what to do
02:49Hold a little wimple in your home
02:58Hello, here comes Constable Knapweed
03:01He looks more like a postman than a policeman today
03:03You, what's going on?
03:05Has this young lion been asking questions about certain matters, Mr. Betty?
03:09Oh no, Constable Knapweed
03:10And even if he has been, I am telling him that I cannot be answering them
03:15Ah, that's just as well
03:17Because if you had been
03:19And if I hadn't got this sack of you-know-what on my back
03:23I'd have to get my notebook out and write one or two things down
03:28Like the name of a certain young lion
03:36I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley
03:39I am always very glad to see you, eh
03:44But please don't shout or speak to me too harshly
03:49Because I'm not particularly brave
03:52Leave it to the herbs to add plenty of spice to life
03:56Everyone's in on a big secret except Parsley the lion
04:03Good old Huxley Pig, he's always thinking of food
04:06He has a new dream every day
04:08One day he met a sea monster
04:10But today is Keep Fit Day with a trio of girl guides
04:14Oh dear, it's all just a little too much for Huxley Pig
04:19Dressed in your Sunday best, anything goes
04:22A new dream every day
04:24Huxley Pig
04:26Who you gonna be today?
04:28Huxley Pig
04:31Huxley Pig
04:38Spot, spot, a lovable spot
04:42He's soft and cuddly and he smiles a lot
04:46If there ever was a pop to cheer you up
04:50It's Spot, spot, a spot
04:53Spot woke up to the sound of rain
05:11Oh dear, he thought
05:17I'll have to stay indoors today
05:20Breakfast time, spot
05:22Said Sally
05:23Whoop
05:25Dressed in you
05:49Dressed in you
05:53last piece. After breakfast Spot looked out of the window.
06:11Goodie, he said. It stopped raining. Now can I go out and play, Mum? All right, said Sally,
06:26but don't roll in the wet grass. Outside Spot stopped and looked at the rainbow. Oh, that's
06:36nice, he said.
06:57Oh! Oh!
07:03Stop shaking the tree, Steve, said Spot. You're making me wet.
07:14Sorry Spot, said Steve. Just then, Helen came by. It stopped raining, said Spot. So it has,
07:29said Helen. You don't need those now, said Spot. Yes, I do, said Helen. I need the wellies
07:38to walk through the paddles. You mean like this one, said Steve.
08:07You two are silly, said Helen. Now your feet are all wet and muddy.
08:16We don't care, said Helen. We don't care, said Helen. This is fun.
08:29It's starting to rain again, said Helen. And I'm nice and dry. Enjoy your fun. Spot? Come
08:40in, Spot, called Sally.
08:50When she saw how muddy he was, Sally was cross. Get into the bath at once, she said. It's not
09:00bedtime
09:00yet, said Spot.
09:11This is fun, thought Spot. But after this, I think I've had enough water for one day.
09:29And that's Spot.
09:34Hold a little whipple in your heart, and you'll get through. Hold a little whipple in your heart,
09:43I'm telling you. If the outlook is bleak, and it's guidance you seek, put on your wimpole
09:52hat, and you'll know what to do. One morning, Dennis Letterleaver was busy
09:58sorting out his letters and parcels ready for delivery to the village. Well, blow me,
10:04Stamp. It's a letter for me. I've won a special prize from the big town post office. Four tickets
10:12to the zoo. I know. I'll take Ethel Donita and the twin red snappers. They were all very
10:19excited about going to the zoo. I've packed a picnic lunch, Dennis, and now we're ready
10:26to go. They went to Wimpole's little station and were soon on their way to the big town.
10:36It wasn't long before they arrived and made their way to the zoo. Once inside, the first
10:41animal they saw was a lion. Oh, look. He's so cuddly. Not fierce at all. But Ethel was in
10:51for a big surprise. Not quite so cuddly there, Ethel. Come on. Let's go and find the sea lions.
11:08They soon found two little seals sitting by the water. Oh, look, twins. One of them is
11:15going to dive in. Oh, my goodness. When the twins had gobbled up their lunch, Dennis and
11:24Ethel had another cup of tea. Come on, Ethel. While the twins are rushing about, we can see
11:30small animals. They visited the big brown grizzly bear, then the elephant, who made rather a
11:37lot of noise, then passed the lion again. Only this time, he wasn't quite so fierce. Here,
11:45look at the time, Ethel. I wonder where them boys have got to. The twins were wandering about
11:51in the big parrot house. I know. Let's give this big parrot some of our peanuts. Oh, no.
11:57He's opening the cage. Oh, crikey. He's escaped. What are we going to do? Come quickly, Dennis.
12:06The big parrot's escaped. Dennis dashed after the twins, closely followed by a rather cross
12:12zookeeper. How did he get out? Where did he go? There he is. Quick. Follow me. Catch him. Catch him.
12:25But no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't catch the parrot. Oh, no. However are
12:32we going to catch him? But Ethel had a great idea. I've got just the thing for catching parrots.
12:41We can use my big apron like a net, and we'll soon have him back in his cage. What a
12:48smashing
12:48idea there, Ethel. Quick. Give it to me. He's flying this way. That's it, everyone. I've got
12:55him. The very pleased zookeeper took his parrot back to the cage, but the twins were getting
13:01a good telling off. Now, boys, you must never, ever do such a silly thing again, all right?
13:08We were very lucky to catch that parrot, you know. The twins certainly had learnt a big lesson.
13:17Later that day, they all arrived back at Wimpole Village. Thanks for a lovely treat, Dennis,
13:24and we promise not to do anything silly again. That's all right, boys, but I bought you something
13:32just in case you forgot what happened today. Dennis had bought them a blow-up plastic parrot
13:38a parrot each. That night, the twins were so tired, they just dropped straight off to sleep.
13:46But I don't think they'll forget their trip to the zoo and the escaping parrot. Do you?
13:53Hold a little wimpole in your heart, and you'll get through. Hold a little wimpole in your heart,
14:01each day.
14:02I'm telling you, if the outlook is bleak, and it's guidance you seek, put on your wimpole
14:10hat, and you'll know what to do. Hold a little wimpole in your heart, each day.
14:44Locked in your heart, and you'll hear the whisper of what and the king of Please
14:53But every elephant, I suppose, learns to cope with his nose
15:01In his element as he goes
15:06But he skips and never trumps
15:11But the elephant isn't quite as elegant
15:14Because his feet are not so neat
15:20But every elephant as he grows
15:24Tries to keep on his toes
15:27In his element as he goes
15:31Bump, bump, bumpity, bump, bump
15:35Bump, the elephant
15:40Bump, has a funny day
15:47Bump liked counting
15:50So when he found some big stones, he counted them
15:53One
15:55Two
15:57Three
15:59Birdie, he called to his special friend
16:00Come and see me count up to three
16:04At that moment, along came Munch, the sleepy tortoise
16:08Looking for a spot to take a nap
16:15And by the time Bump came back with Birdie, he was snug in his shell and fast asleep
16:20Go on, bump, chirped Birdie
16:23One
16:24Two
16:27Three
16:29Four
16:29Counted Bump
16:32I thought you said there were three stones, said Birdie
16:35I'm sure there were, said Bump
16:38Very puzzled
16:40Made a mistake, said Birdie
16:42I can see four
16:46Let's find another stone and do some more counting together
16:50While Bump and Birdie were away, Munch woke up
16:54That was a nice little nap, he said
16:57I feel hungry
16:58I'll go and find something to eat
17:02Back came Bump with another big stone
17:04Put it at the end, Bump, whistled Birdie
17:12How many stones are there now?
17:14Down sat Bump to count again
17:16One
17:16Two
17:17Three
17:19Four
17:20But there were four last time you counted, tweeted Birdie
17:27Don't get upset, we'll count them together
17:31So as Birdie hopped from one stone to the other, Bump counted with her
17:36One
17:37Two
17:39Three
17:40Four
17:43Well I never, said Birdie
17:45Now my counting is wrong as well
17:47I don't think I want to count anymore, sighed Bump
17:50I think I'll go for a walk
17:56Bump had not gone far when he saw some flowers
18:01You do smell nice, he told them
18:03Flowers taste nice too, said a voice
18:07They're talking to me, gasped Bump
18:11How funny
18:13Suddenly, Bump saw one of the flowers growing backwards
18:19What's the matter? asked Birdie
18:21These flowers are talking to me, and now they're growing backwards
18:27Flowers don't grow backwards, tweeted Birdie
18:30These two, said Bump
18:32And even as he spoke, another flower grew shorter and shorter, until it vanished altogether
18:39Well I never, said Birdie
18:44Then they heard a sound
18:47Bump and Birdie looked between the flowers
18:52It's Munch the tortoise, whistled Birdie
18:55I was only having my dinner, he said
18:58You are a pickle, Munch, chirped Birdie
19:01It was you playing tricks on us all the time
19:04It has been a funny day, said Bump
19:08Let me please go
19:22Can you talk better?
20:27She's staying in bed this morning.
20:29Ew.
20:31Well, yes, she has a heavy cold.
20:41Will dressed and as he went downstairs, he heard a loud, ha-ha-ha-choo, from his mother's room.
20:49Things went well at first.
20:50It was easy enough to cut the bread and put on the fly jam.
20:54They soon ate the lot.
20:55Will was delighted because his father, Humphra, allowed him to put twice as much jam on his bread as his
21:01mother did.
21:02Things went fairly well when they washed the dishes, too.
21:04He only broke one saucer and two cups when he heard a mighty choo coming downstairs.
21:18But then it was time for Humphra to go out to the farm, leaving Will in charge of the kitchen
21:22on his own.
21:23Will looked around and decided to do what his mother usually did.
21:26First he brushed the floor.
21:34Then he went out to the garden to gather snails for lunch and put them in a bowl on the
21:38sink.
21:41Then he decided to do the washing.
21:43But it was tiring, boring work.
21:46And he was very glad when he heard voices calling from the yard.
21:49Oh, hello, boys.
21:52Hello, Will.
21:53What you doing?
21:54Asked Shonny.
21:56Helping Mum.
21:57She's ill and dead.
21:59Gobble, gobble, Will.
22:00Said Eva.
22:01Why don't we all help you?
22:03Quack, yes.
22:06They all said.
22:07Well, thanks.
22:09And in a jiffy, they'd all rolled up their sleeves and were rubbing like mad in the middle of the
22:12soapses.
22:17Well, of course, I hardly need to tell you what was bound to happen sooner or later.
22:22As Hugh Herk grasped the soap, it slipped and flew across the tub, straight into Will's mouth.
22:30Oh, ah!
22:37Great snails, Will.
22:39You swallowed the soap.
22:45It's not a laughing matter.
22:50No, of course not, answered Dick.
22:53What can we do?
22:55Shonny told Will to open his mouth and then he thumped Will on the back.
22:59But only more soaps came out.
23:02Then Eva had an idea.
23:04The lads grasped Will and lifted him up and held him upside down over the tub and shook him until
23:09his sides churned.
23:12Out with it, Will.
23:15One, two, three, out.
23:16Will spat the soap out with a blech.
23:20Hooray!
23:23But unfortunately, who came through the door at that moment but Martha, who had dressed hastily on hearing all the
23:29palaver.
23:30Hey, you currywill boys.
23:33What are you doing to her?
23:34Will let him go at once.
23:37And of course, that's exactly what they did.
23:39And Will plunged into the tub with a mighty splash.
23:43Well, there was such a commotion then.
23:45Humphra, come here at once.
23:49And all the lads were marched out by Humphra and made to stand in a row and wait their turn
23:53to go under the pump.
23:55But later, when Martha realized that they'd only been trying to help Will,
23:58she forgave them everything and called them into the house to have something warm to drink
24:02and a large piece each of fly cake with snail cream over it.
24:07And you know what?
24:08In the middle of the excitement, Martha's cold had completely gone.
24:13Wasn't that good news?
24:17And when Will went to sleep that night, there was a big smile on his face
24:21as he remembered all his friends soaked to the skin under the pump.
24:27Quack.
25:01Quack.
25:24Quack.
25:26Quack.
25:28Birdie sings the sweetest things, but the elephant isn't quite as delicate because the sound gets tangled around in his
25:39trunkity trunk.
25:41But every elephant, I suppose, learns to cope with his nose in his element as he goes.
25:51Tromp, tromp, tromp, birdie, tromp.
25:55Birdie skips and never trips, but the elephant isn't quite as elegant because his feet are not so neat.
26:05Clump, clump, clump, birdie, plump.
26:07But every elephant, as he grows, tries to keep on his toes in his element as he goes.
26:18Clump, clump, clump, birdie, plump.
26:23Bump, the elephant.
26:28Bump wants to help.
26:32Bump went looking for his special friend, Birdie.
26:38Will you play with me?
26:39He called.
26:41Not until I finish collecting twigs for my nest.
26:44She whistled.
26:48Can I collect some twigs for you?
26:51You can try, chirped Birdie.
26:53So off went Bump to look for the best twig he could find.
26:59Before long, Bump was back under Birdie's tree.
27:03Would you like this one?
27:05It's very nice, said Birdie.
27:08But I only need little twigs.
27:11I think I'm too big to pick up twigs, Birdie, sighed Bump, as he marched off to find another friend.
27:20Will you play with me, Whizzer?
27:23Sorry, I'm polishing my tricycle, squeaked the little mouse.
27:27Can I help? asked Bump.
27:30You're much too big for polishing tricycles, said Whizzer.
27:34Off went Bump again, to find another friend.
27:42Will you play with me, little Bun?
27:44Not now, Bump, he said.
27:46Big Bun and I are digging a nice new hole.
27:49Can I help?
27:51Sorry, Bump, said Big Bun.
27:53You're too big to dig a hole for us.
27:58Bump met McDuff.
28:00Will you play with me, he asked.
28:03Not until I've found my rubber bone.
28:06Can I help you look for your bone?
28:09You're too big to sniff a bone, Bump, wafted McDuff.
28:13The squirrels were collecting acorns.
28:18Can I help? asked Bump.
28:21I think you might be a bit big to pick up acorns, said Mrs. Squirrel.
28:25Although he tried very hard, the acorns just would not stay still.
28:32Bump even asked Munch to play.
28:34You're too big, and I'm too sleepy, said Munch with a yawn.
28:42When Birdie had collected her twigs, she went to find Bump.
28:45He was sitting under a tree, looking deadly sad.
28:49What's the matter? she chirped.
28:51Everyone's busy doing things and I'm too big to help.
28:54Just as Birdie was about to cheer him up, they heard another sound.
28:59Meow, it went.
29:05Hello, whistled Birdie flying up into the tree.
29:08Who are you?
29:09I'm Puss, said the kitten.
29:11Do you live in a tree like Birdie and the squirrels? asked Bump.
29:15No, meowed Puss.
29:17I like climbing, so I climbed this tree.
29:20Now, I can't get down.
29:24Can't you fly? asked Birdie.
29:26No, said Puss.
29:29I know, said Birdie.
29:31Bump can help you.
29:33So Bump reached out with his trunk, and down came Puss.
29:37Oh, thank you Bump, said Puss.
29:40It is nice to be on the ground again, and to show Bump how pleased she was.
29:45Puss purred her loudest purr.
29:50Being big can be useful after all, whistled Birdie.
29:53Nobody else could have helped Puss down except you.
29:55Bump did feel proud.
30:10Dumb playing.
30:24Beeses and the drivers who've been married.
30:25Can't you see the dog's full speed?
30:25Can't you see?
30:26The dog is a big també and is a big one.
30:27It's a big one, but I mean it's, like, oh, it's the trick.
30:28Oh, I'm proud.
30:30Yeah, I'm proud to be able to put it around.
30:30Oh, that's good.
30:32Well, you're the only one.
30:33I'm proud of the people who've been doing it.
30:34It's me, I'm proud to be sure.
30:37If you've been the little one after I'm doing it,
30:52One morning when Will came down to have his breakfast of wasp porridge,
30:56there was a very unhappy look on his mother's face.
31:00Oh, heaven's above. This place is looking like a pigsty, she said.
31:05I don't know when these doors last had a coat of paint, and the kitchen hasn't been white-washed for
31:11years.
31:13Quack, said Will. Why don't you ask Dad to whitewash it?
31:18Your father? His mother snorted.
31:22He's far too lazy.
31:25Listen, Will, I've got to go and see Mari Pickles now.
31:30She isn't at all well, poor dear.
31:32And while I'm away, I'd like you to look after the place and tidy the kitchen a little for me.
31:38Oh, um, and fetch some snails from the garden for dinner, all right?
31:43All right, ma'am.
31:46When she'd gone, Will didn't take long to tidy the kitchen,
31:49as it wasn't half as untidy as you might think to hear Martha complaining.
31:54Then he took a bowl out to the garden and gathered a dozen fat, juicy snails
31:58and washed them in the sink ready for dinner.
32:02Oh, what shall I do next?
32:06He said to himself.
32:09I know.
32:10Quack!
32:11I like to wash the kitchen as a surprise for Mom when she comes home.
32:17He hurried into the kitchen at once and started work.
32:20He soon had all the furniture piled in the middle of the room.
32:25Then he fetched the big washtub and half-filled it with whitewash and water.
32:29Then when he'd stirred the mixture with a large wooden spoon,
32:32Will was ready to start whitewashing.
32:37Things went quite well.
32:39He flew up and down and backwards and forwards,
32:41holding the brush in his beak
32:43and stopping now and then to dip it in the tub.
32:46Before long, the first wall was finished,
32:49then the second wall,
32:50and then the third wall round the fireplace.
32:54But when he started to paint the last wall,
32:56something terrible happened.
32:58As Will turned his back to dip his brush in the whitewash,
33:01his father, Humphra, looked in at the window
33:03and stood there in amazement with his mouth open as he saw the mess.
33:08But before he could say a word,
33:10Will had turned back and had painted right across his father's face.
33:15When Will heard his father gasp,
33:20he had such a fright that he let go of the brush
33:23and it fell down into the tub and splashed more whitewash over, Humphra.
33:27Quack! Oh, I'm sorry, Dad!
33:32Quack!
33:33Where till I get hold of you?
33:35shouted Humphra.
33:37But as the whitewash was in his eyes,
33:39he didn't notice the tub,
33:40and the next second he plunged head over heels into it.
33:44At that very moment,
33:46Martha walked in.
33:50Great, Sunbears!
33:51Oh, oh, there's a snowman in my kitchen
33:55and it's alive!
33:57No, ma'am!
33:59It's Dad!
34:02Cried Will tearfully.
34:04Of course, it wasn't long before
34:05Martha had marched Humphra out to the backyard
34:07and set Will to pump water over his father
34:09until he was quite clean.
34:11Then she gave him a large spoonful of medicine
34:14so as not to catch cold
34:15and sent him to bed to get warm.
34:18When she saw how well Will had whitewashed the kitchen,
34:21she didn't have the heart
34:22give him a row for whitewashing his father.
34:26That night, Will smiled and giggled to himself in bed
34:29as he remembered his father covered in whitewash.
34:32Good night.
34:35Quack!
34:37Oh, quack!
34:38Oh, quack!
