03:44Oh, he's not arrived at the nursery yet
03:46He's late
03:47No, that's what I've come to tell you about
03:49Oh, he's not ill or anything is he?

03:59It is
04:00But you'll never guess what happened
04:02Is it the baby?
04:04You know about the baby as well?
04:06I've known for months she was expecting a baby
04:08Oh right
04:09Her tummy was getting bigger and bigger
04:11And bigger and bigger
04:13And last night she had the baby
04:15Oh, that's great news
04:17I'm so pleased
04:19What was it?
04:20A girl or a boy?
04:21Oh, it was a girl
04:23A beautiful baby girl
04:25Oh, that's lovely
04:27The children and I should make her a car filled with lots of kisses
04:30That's a great idea
04:32I should get the baby something too
04:34I know
04:35Why don't you pop to see Penny and Susie
04:37And see if they have anything for newborn babies in their shop
04:40Cool
04:40I'm off to see Penny and Susie
04:42Bye
04:44Bye
04:44Bye
04:46I wonder which coloured house Spencer will be visiting first today
04:56Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
05:01Well there's part of the story in Ballamore
05:05He asks which is the house for me
05:08Green house, red house, orange or pink
05:13Yellow house, blue or white
05:16Tell me what do you think?
05:25Which coloured house are we going to?
05:28Tell me what you think?
05:30Which coloured house are we going to?
05:33Tell me what do you think?
05:36Red
05:38Yes, it's the red house
05:40Because that's where Penny and Susie live
05:48Hello Spencer
05:49Hi Penny
05:49Susie, I'll be with you in a minute
05:51Thanks
05:51Bye
05:53Okay, a present to get for the baby
06:01I'll grab her
06:19Thanks
06:41Hello, Spencer.
06:43Hello, Susie.
06:45Now, what can I do for you?
06:46Well, I want to buy something for Tommy McKenzie's new baby sister.
06:51Well, we have a whole collection of baby things here.
06:55Lots of things to choose from.
06:57There we go.
07:00Oh, look.
07:01Weeberties, baby bonnets, knitted cardigans.
07:05Susie, you're making a terrible mess all over this counter.
07:10Oh, but Spencer needs to see everything so that he can choose.
07:13Don't you, Spencer?
07:14Yes, I do.
07:15Now, look.
07:16Our baby grow.
07:19Susie, what is that chrysanthemum doing with the daffodil?
07:23Well...
07:23Well?
07:25Well, isn't that lucky?
07:28Because that's what I want to get for the baby.
07:30A bunch of daffodils with one chrysanthemum.
07:33For the baby?
07:34No!
07:36I thought maybe Tommy's mum would love a bunch of daffodils with one chrysanthemum.
07:43Odd choice.
07:45Charming choice, Puppet.
07:47The customer's always right.
07:50Now, about the baby.
07:52We've got mittens and cuddly toys.
07:55Susie!
07:57What pet?
07:57What are those paper plates doing in that dumper truck?
08:01I've no idea.
08:02I know.
08:03You know.
08:04I know I want to buy the dumper truck and the paper plates.
08:09For the baby?
08:10Yes.
08:11No!
08:12No!
08:13Not for the baby.
08:14Tommy would love the dumper truck.
08:17And I can use the paper plates to collect paint blobs on.
08:21Very odd.
08:22The customer's always right, Puppet.
08:25Right?
08:26But odd.
08:27Now, where is my grammar so that I can reach up and get the dumper truck?
08:32I thought I saw it on the floor.
08:34You know, I shall stretch up there and fetch it down myself.
08:43There we go.
08:45Spencer, have you got a tail?
08:48A tail?
08:49Oh, you do look funny, Spencer.
08:51You've got a tail.
08:53A tail.
08:53Come here, Spencer.
08:58Found one grabber.
09:00Oh, you wee rascal, Spencer.
09:03I think I can explain.
09:05I think I can explain to Spencer.
09:07For example, how the chrysanthemum got in with the daffodils.
09:10Well, I, uh, and...
09:12And...
09:13And how the paper plates got into the dumper truck.
09:16Oh, I am so, so sorry.
09:19How about if I pay for the dumper truck, the paper plates and the flowers,
09:23and I'll just be on my way.
09:26You wee menace.
09:27We forgive you.
09:28Thank you, and goodbye.
09:31What an imp...
09:32Oh, look at the muddle on the counter.
09:34And, you know, after all that fluster,
09:37Spencer forgot to buy the baby a present.
09:47Come on in, Spencer.
09:49Look, we've made our cart.
09:51That's lovely.
09:54So, what did you buy for the baby?
09:56Well, I've got flowers for Mrs. McKenzie.
09:59Oh, they're lovely.
10:01And for the baby?
10:02And a dumper truck for Tommy.
10:04Oh, I love that.
10:06And for the baby?
10:07Oh, no.
10:08Oh, I was in such a fluster when I left the shop, I forgot to buy the baby a present.
10:14I did get these paper plates.
10:17Oh, I don't think the baby will think much of those.
10:21No, I forgot to buy the baby a present.
10:25What am I going to do?
10:27Maybe you can make the plates into something for the baby.
10:30But what?
10:32You need some help.
10:33Who?
10:35Well, who in Balamori is good at making and inventing things?
10:42Archie.
10:43We'll call Archie.
10:44Archie, Miss Sergeant.
10:47I'm Archie, the inventor.

12:17Hello, Miss Hooley.
12:18Hi, Archie.
12:19Hi, Archie.
12:20So, Spencer, what's the story in Balamore?
12:23It all began this morning.
12:25I called into the nursery
12:26to tell Miss Hooley that Tommy McKenzie,
12:29my next-door neighbor,
12:30wouldn't be coming to school today
12:31because his mom had had a new baby girl.
12:35I wanted to buy the baby something,
12:37and I went off to Pocket & Sweet
12:39to see what I could buy.
12:41After I was caught playing with the grabber,
12:43I got a bit flustered,
12:45and I ended up buying some flowers for Tommy's mom,
12:48a dumper truck for Tommy,
12:49but nothing for the baby.
12:51Only these paper plates.
12:55Paper plates for the baby?
12:57You can't give a baby paper plates.
12:59Well, that's where you're wrong, Spencer.
13:01With these paper plates,
13:02we can make something the baby will love.
13:03Come on.
13:04Right.
13:08Okay, everyone.
13:09Do you want to come over?
13:10We're going to do some painting, please.
13:14Come on.
13:14Let's put it on our...
13:15It was the first one.
13:16Come on, Spencer.
13:18Oh, do you want to do that?
13:22Splendid.
13:23Oh, come on, everybody.
13:24Paint these plates.
13:25There's all sorts of colors.
13:26There's all sorts of colors.
13:26There's all sorts of colors.
13:26There's all sorts of the greens,
13:27and the blues, and the yellows.
13:28Do you have some...
13:29Red, Sean?
13:31Mm-hmm.
13:31You're mixing that up.
13:33Ay, all right, eh.
13:37What is that making?
13:38That's making green.
13:40These look fantastic.
13:44These look great.
13:47Put old Spence out of a job.
13:50Okay, now, Missouli and Spencer,
13:52if you could get me six pipe cleaners,
13:54three coat hangers, please,
13:56and then everyone else can get your plates
13:57and follow me.
14:00Do you want to...
14:03Do you want to help me?
14:04Sure, sure.
14:05Okay, everybody.
14:05Do you want to see them to hide you?
14:07That's great.
14:08Thank you very much, indeed.
14:10Okay.
14:11Come on.
14:13Thank you very much, indeed.
14:15Missouli, are you going to sit down here?
14:16Okay.
14:17What you're going to do first
14:18is make some holes in the paint.
14:21How's mine?
14:21Was it your...
14:21That's fantastic, isn't it?
14:23So then we put a bit of plasticine down at us.
14:26This is for our safety, you see,
14:27so we make the hole there.
14:29There's one.
14:31There's two.
14:32So now we thread them.
14:34It's made.
14:34Okay, good.
14:36Thread a pipe cleaner through here, you see.
14:38Can we all watch and see what we're doing?
14:39Yeah.
14:41Get the coat hanger.
14:43You have to attach to each end,
14:44so you put it there.
14:45Wrap it down.
14:46Wrap it round, so it's too high and simple.
14:48Let's see.
14:50I pop this off.
14:52Like this.
14:54Yes.
14:54And here we go, up it comes.
14:57Get it there.
14:58Oh, actually, that's fun.
15:00There we go.
15:01Got a mobile.
15:02How about that?
15:03That looks great.
15:05Do you know where it'll go?
15:06Tommy's new baby sister is going to love it.
15:17Hi, Mrs. McKenzie.
15:19Hello, Spencer.
15:21Congratulations on the new baby.
15:22Thank you very much.
15:23They're beautiful.
15:24Is it for you?
15:25Oh, and congratulations on being a new big brother.
15:28Yeah, Tommy.
15:29You see, Tommy.
15:31Cool, dude.
15:32Oh, and I've got something for baby Jessica.
15:35Oh, that's beautiful.
15:36Do you want to come through and see her?
15:37Yes, thank you.
15:38Come on then.
15:47Oh, she's beautiful.
15:50That's great.
15:51Oh, I brought you a present.
15:53Right up here.
15:56The card.
15:59Oh, she's beautiful, Tommy.
16:02Yes, she is.
16:03Is she fun to play with yet?
16:06Peek-a-boo.
16:07You've played peek-a-boo with her yet?
16:10Have you done that?
16:11Peek-a-boo.
16:13Oh, you'll be good at peek-a-boo.
16:14Oh, yeah.
16:16Peek-a-boo.
16:17Well done.
16:18I bet your mommy played that with you, huh?
16:21Let's sing the baby a song.
16:23Peek-a-boo.
16:23I see a guitar right over there.
16:26Okay.
16:27We'll sing your baby sister a song.
16:31Hush, hush, lullaby baby.
16:37Hush, hush, lullaby baby.
16:43Spin, spin, colour by baby.
16:50Hush, hush, hush.
16:57It's great to be a big brother with a new baby sister.
17:11So, what was the story in Bala Mori today?
17:17Well...
17:21Spencer called in to tell me that Tommy Mackenzie's mum had had a newborn baby girl.
17:27Spencer went off to buy her a present from Pocket and Sweets.
17:31While he was there, he was caught playing with things on the shelves
17:34and ended up buying everything he'd been playing with.
17:37Everything, that is, except a present for the new baby.
17:41Archie had a great idea.
17:43With the help of the children, he made a beautiful spinning mobile
17:46from old coat hangers, string and, of course, the painted paper plate.
17:52Spencer hung the mobile over Tommy's new baby sister's cot.
17:57She seemed to love her first present.
18:03So, that was the story in Bala Mori.
18:12I'll see you next time.
18:14Bye!
18:23Bala Mori, Bala Mori, what's the story in Bala Mori?

18:51Bala Mori, wouldn't you like to know?
18:58Bala Mori, what's the story in Bala Mori?
