01:37Hello, Susie.
01:38Hello, Miss Houli.
01:39So what's the story in BALAMORI?
01:41It's a sunny day.
01:43Oh, thank you.
01:44I'll have to change the weather chart.
01:46There we are.
01:48A nice happy sun shining over BALAMORI.
01:53See you later then.
01:55See you later.
02:00Hello, I'm Miss Houli.
02:02Don't I know you?
02:04Ah, yes, of course.
02:07Well, today it's a play day in BALAMORI.
02:12So, I wonder what adventures we'll get up to today.
02:17Everyone's at home today, what do you like to do?
02:21Do you like to roller skate or go to the swimming pool?
02:25I like to sit here watching, watching everyone.
02:31Choosing what to do today and joining in the fun.
02:40Everyone's at home today.
02:42Everyone's at home today.
02:43You could have some friends to tea.
02:45Football in the garden, or a visit to the sea.
02:49You could help around the house.
02:52Or maybe wash the car.
02:55Splashing water everywhere.
02:57Have fun wherever you are.
03:01Whatever it is you like to do.
03:03You'll have fun wherever you are.
03:13Morning, Gibran.
03:15Morning, Sean.
03:17I'm afraid PC plum's running a wee bit late.
03:20Why don't you play over there till he arrives?
03:22OK.
03:31Sounds like we have a visitor.
03:36Who could it be?
03:40Morning, Archie.
03:42Is there anything interesting in today's BALAMORI Express?
03:46Er...
03:47Yes, Spencer rescued a cat from a tree.
03:49Well done, Spencer.
03:51That would have said PC plumber job.
03:53Ah, not really.
03:54Oh?
03:55Spencer couldn't get down again, so plumbers had to climb up and rescue him.
03:59Oh, poor Spencer.
04:01He was never very good at climbing trees.
04:03Now ladders.
04:04That's a different matter.
04:07Well...
04:07Ah.
04:08See, the ferry to the mainland is delayed again.
04:11Oh, no, is the ferry delayed?
04:12That's what it says here.
04:13Oh, what about our picnic?
04:16Hmm.
04:18There's no mention of your picnic.
04:19What?
04:20Oh, no.
04:22I'll have to call the ferry station to find out if we can still sail to the mainland for a
04:26picnic today.
04:26Why don't you use my phone?
04:28There we are.
04:29Oh, thanks, Archie.
04:30I won't be long.
04:36It's busy.
04:37Why don't you call plumbers?
04:38He generally knows what's going on about town.
04:40Great idea.
04:41Then I might be able to find out why he's late.
04:46Oh.
04:47His phone's busy too.
04:49What am I going to do now?
04:51Tell you what.
04:52Why don't I pop into the station on my way home?
04:53I can tell plumbers that you're here waiting for him.
04:56Oh, thanks, Archie.
04:57That'd be really kind of you.
04:59Oh, not at all.
05:00See you later.
05:04So, which coloured house do you think actually will visit first today?
05:11Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
05:17Well, there's part of the story in Balamorias which is the house for me.
05:23Is it yellow?
05:25Is it pink?
05:26Is it orange?
05:27What do you think?
05:29Is it red, green, blue or white?
05:32Which coloured house do you think is right?
05:34Yellow house, orange house, blue, pink or white?
05:40Green house, red house.
05:43Which do you think is right?
05:52Which coloured house are we going to?
05:55Tell me what do you think?
05:57Which coloured house are we going to?
06:00Tell me what do you think?
06:05Yes, it's the White House because that's where PC Plum lives.
06:12Yes, I see.
06:13Well, the ferry is a bit delayed this morning.
06:17No, no, I don't know when it will be sailing.
06:20Have you tried calling the ferry office?
06:22Who, me?
06:23No, no, not you, Archie.
06:24No, no, I wasn't calling you, Archie.
06:26I was talking to...
06:27OK.
06:28Well, I'll call you back later when I know more.
06:30OK, bye-bye.
06:32Oh, busy.
06:33You could say that.
06:35Today's supposed to be my day off.
06:36But because of the problems with the ferry,
06:38there's a huge traffic jam on the road down to the harbour.
06:40Oh, yes, I saw it on my way down from the cafe.
06:42The cafe?
06:43Oh, the cafe!
06:44That I was supposed to be there half an hour ago.
06:46Is Miss Hooley and the children still there?
06:48Oh, yes, they're all still there.
06:50Miss Hooley is waiting for you
06:51and wondering if you know what time the next ferry will be.
06:53I wish I knew.
06:54The ferry captain's checking the ferry engine.
06:57Oh, dear.
06:58Where are we going to take the children on a picnic now?
07:00If the ferry's not getting fixed,
07:02then we'll be too late to go to the mainland where we planned.
07:05Where else can you take them?
07:07I wish I knew, Archie.
07:10Hello, PC Plum speaking.
07:12Oh, hello, Spencer.
07:14It's Spencer.
07:15What's up?
07:17The harbour's clogged up with traffic.
07:19Right.
07:20Thanks for letting me know.
07:21I'll be right there.
07:22Sorry, Archie.
07:23Must dash.
07:24The traffic's in a mess down at the harbour.
07:26Yes, but what about the picnic?
07:28Oh, I know.
07:29Why don't you go in my place to the picnic?
07:31Me?
07:31But I can't get...
07:32Oh, you'll love it.
07:33Just let Susie know where you're going
07:34and I'll try and catch up with you later when I'm finished at the harbour.
07:37Got to go.
07:37Bye for now.
07:38Yes, but I don't know where to...
07:41Oh, crumpets.
07:43I don't know where to take them on a picnic.
07:46Oh, dear.
07:48Who can I ask who'd know?
07:51Oh, yes.
07:53Edie McCready.
08:04I'm Edie McCready.
08:06I love to drive.
08:07Hop aboard my bus.
08:09Enjoy the ride.
08:11Doors are open.
08:13So step inside.
08:14It's the day to have some fun.
08:17Plenty of room for everyone.
08:20When I honk my horn.
08:23Step inside.
08:24Step inside.
08:25Step inside.
08:26Now if you can't sit still then hold on tight.
08:30We're rolling down the room.
08:33If there's traffic ding-a-ling on a song we love to sing.
08:36We're rolling down the room.
08:39If you need to find somewhere, I can take you there.
08:46I've been to places that you'll never know.
08:49From the hot desert sand to the cold Arctic snow.
08:53When I honk my horn.
08:55Step inside.
08:57Step inside.
08:59If something breaks, it doesn't matter.
09:00I can fix it with my spanner.
09:02We'll be rolling down the road.
09:05If the tires are looking flat, I can fix them just like that.
09:09We're rolling down the road.
09:12Anything I can mend.
09:15And we're just around the bend.
09:18Just call Edie.
09:19Call on Edie.
09:20Edie McCready.
09:22Edie McCready.
09:23Call on Edie.
09:24Edie McCready.
09:25Just call Edie.
09:26Ooh.
09:33Hello there, Edie.
09:35Oh, hello there yourself, Archie.
09:39So, what's the story in Balamori?
09:42Well, you're not going to believe this.
09:46Don't try me.
09:52Miss Hooley and Plumbers were planning to take two children for a picnic on the mainland.
09:56But all the trips to the mainland have been cancelled because the ferry has broken down.
10:01I popped over to tell Plumbers that Miss Hooley and the children were waiting for him at the cafe.
10:06But he was very busy at work, answering the phones and couldn't find the time to go.
10:11So he asked me to take his place and try to think of a nice picnic spot to take them
10:14to.
10:16Well, I can't think of anywhere.
10:18And I really want to give him a good day out, so I was wondering...
10:22You were wondering if I knew a good place to go for a picnic.
10:25Yes.
10:26I need a great place for a great day out.
10:28You know, you don't always have to visit a new place to have a great time.
10:33No.
10:34It's what you do when you get there that can turn an ordinary day into a special one.
10:41And I have just the answer to your problem.
10:44Well, I hope so, Edie.
10:46Right.
10:47Let's see.
10:50Now.
10:53You'll need this.
10:56A hammer.
10:57A mallet.
10:58And a nice heavy one, too.
11:00Oh!
11:01Oh, yes.
11:02Yes, I can feel that.
11:03Oh, poor Archie.
11:06And...
11:08Poles.
11:08Oh.
11:10Are we going skiing?
11:12No.
11:14Oh.
11:15Well, how are some sticks and a hammer going to make a great day out?
11:20Well, they're going to help us put up this.
11:24My tent.
11:25Come on, take an end.
11:27Oh, children love camping almost as much as I do.
11:33Do you know, the last time I used this tent
11:35was when I went camping in Africa.
11:40Oh, just about here.
11:43Oh, it was wonderful with rolling sand dunes and lizards scurrying around the place.
11:50Oh, Archie, are you...
11:53Who's coming?
11:54Archie?
11:55Oh!
11:57Oh, Archie!
11:59No!
12:00Oh!
12:02Oh, you silly clot.
12:05Come on.
12:07Let's go and get Miss Hooley in the bus.
12:11And go camping.
12:12Camping!
12:13Come on, pick up the poles.
12:15Oh, and that mallet and don't drop it on your toes again.
12:35He could be his big puppy.
12:37Oh, an even better idea.
12:39That could be...
12:40That could be the puppy that could be the mummy's, couldn't it?
12:43Oh, you break the door.
12:44Oh!
12:46No, you can't break it down.
12:47Oh!
12:47But we can't break it down.
12:53There you are, Archie.
12:55We're beginning to think you're broken down like the fairy.
12:57Is PC Plum here too?
12:59Ah, no, he's not, I'm afraid.
13:00He's too busy.
13:01So really, it's up to me and Edie to make sure we all have a great day out.
13:03Out where?
13:04Ah, somewhere new and exciting.
13:06Is the fairy fixed?
13:08Oh, no, no, there's been a slight change of plan.
13:09But if you follow me to the bus, everyone, I'll explain what happens when we get there.
13:13OK.
13:15Oh, pick me a basket.
13:16Right.
13:20OK.
13:22There we go.
13:39Coming this way, Sean.
13:40That's my boy.
13:42I thought you said we were going somewhere new and exciting.
13:47Oh, we are.
13:48Don't you worry about that, Miss Hooley.
13:49I've got to come to the nursery every day.
13:52Well, just you wait and see.
13:54Come on, Archie.
13:55I think we'll pitch the tent just over there.
13:59Okey-dokey.
14:00Tent?
14:00Yes.
14:01We're going to do a spot of camping.
14:03Come on, then.
14:05Let's see, Gibran.
14:08Now, here we go.
14:10Here's our tent.
14:13Oh, my God.
14:14Oh, my God.
14:14Do you want us to help you, Eddie?
14:16There you go.
14:17Now, boys, can you...
14:18Sean, can you take an end of that tent there?
14:21Oh.
14:21And, Archie, that's it.
14:23Now, let's stretch it out.
14:25Pull it out there.
14:25Oh, it's big, isn't it?
14:26Now, I've got two poles here.
14:28I see.
14:29Now, could you take that down to Miss Hooley?
14:31Uh-huh.
14:32Now, we'll try and get the pole...
14:33Is that going inside there, Eddie?
14:34Now, Gibran, see that pole there?
14:37Sean, will I take that for you?
14:38Can you take that down to Archie at that end?
14:40Thank you very much.
14:42I don't know if you manage with this in the desert.
14:44I do not know if you...
14:45Oh, this was a wonderful tent.
14:46This tent has travelled everywhere with me.
14:49Now, watch out, Miss Hooley.
14:51Okay.
14:52Watch your fingers.
14:53All right, Gibran, we're going to go...
14:55Bang! Bang!
14:57That's a good job.
14:58I think it's beginning to look like just the ticket.
15:00I think it really is beginning to look splendid.
15:02Come round here.
15:04Do you think this is the door here?
15:06Yes, it is.
15:07And a mallet here.
15:08Can you give me...
15:08Hey, look!
15:09Oh!
15:10How's that?
15:11Oh, it's Archie.
15:13Hey, Doc.
15:14Oh, Miss Hooley, I'll finish that and you get the picnic box organised.
15:18Would that be all right?
15:18Yes.
15:19You take...
15:20Now, there's something...
15:21I'll put this sheet out here.
15:22Oh, yes.

15:24Yes, go ahead.
