10:44Hello, Edie.

10:46Oh, yes, indeedy.
10:48I'm having a polishing day.
10:50But sit yourself down.
10:56Oh, it's great to see you.
11:01So, what's the story in Balamori?
11:04Well, you know Liam?
11:06Stevie's cousin?
11:07That's the one, yes.
11:08Well, Stevie was meant to be taking Liam out today, but he's had to be called away to drive the
11:12ferry.
11:14Liam was very disappointed, so I promised to make it up to him by taking him out and about on
11:19the island.
11:22Plumbers suggested we go down to the beach to see the rock pools, across the pond to feed the ducks
11:27and swans, and up to the top of the hill to watch the birds.
11:32But that's a long way to walk, so I was wondering if you could help.
11:39Oh, I'd be glad to take you to all those places, Archie.
11:42But, um, you know, there's one place you haven't thought about.
11:47Where's that?
11:48A place that would cheer Liam up and make him forget all about his disappointment.
11:54Oh, you mean the crazy golf?
11:56No.
11:57The Liam I know is always talking about his cousin Stevie.
12:02Oh, I know.
12:02He's going to be very disappointed not to see him.
12:04So, where is Stevie?
12:06Well, he's driving the ferry boat.
12:07So, why don't you take Liam down to the ferry boat to see his cousin Stevie at work?
12:13Why didn't I think of that before?
12:15I don't know, Archie.
12:18Now, let's see the ferry timetable.
12:22The next ferry leaves in half an hour, so that gives us time to pick up Liam and be aboard
12:28the ferry boat in plenty of time.
12:30Come on, Archie.
12:43Oh, there's the ferry.
12:45And I think I can see Stevie.
12:49Stevie.
13:02Well, this is jolly exciting, isn't it, Liam?
13:04Shall we go and see if we can spot your favourite person?
13:07Cousin Stevie.
13:08Right, off we go.
13:16Hi there, how are you doing?
13:19Is that Cousin Stevie?
13:22Hello.
13:25Is that Cousin Stevie?
13:28No.
13:29Okay.
13:38Is that Cousin Stevie?
13:40Yes.
13:41Hi, Liam.
13:42Oh, come on.
13:44Hi.
13:46Hey.
13:47Come on, I'll show you your own boat.
13:51Can I come?
13:53Thanks.
14:02How about we go and see the captain's bridge?
14:04Yeah.
14:05Yeah?
14:06Oh, have you got a seagull?
14:08Come on here, it's two seagulls.
14:12Oh.
14:14Where have they gone?
14:17Where have they gone?
14:21Well, this is the captain's bridge.
14:23Can we go and see?
14:30This is the captain, and this is the quartermaster, and they drive the boat.
14:35It's very, very important that they concentrate on what they do.
14:37Come on.
14:39Come on.
14:45This is the funnel.
14:47What that does is all the fumes from the engine come up through there and go out at the top.
14:53A car has a tiny little exhaust.
14:55That ship has a huge funnel, and this one has two.
15:01Oh, hi, hi, Captain.
15:03I don't want to interrupt you, because you're driving the boat and everything.
15:07You haven't seen a small boy and a normal-sized man wearing a hard hat, have you?
15:12Yes.
15:13He was up here a couple of minutes ago.
15:15He's just gone down.
15:16Oh, isn't that always the way?
15:18Oh, well.
15:19Carry on, chaps.
15:20Anchors away and everything.
15:42Now, big boats are very safe, but sometimes if things go wrong, we have these.
15:47These are called lifeboats.
15:48If anything does go wrong, everyone on the boat can get in a lifeboat and go away, and
15:53they're very safe.
16:04So, did you enjoy that?
16:06Yeah, that was great, wasn't it?
16:08Oh, Archie, you've got a great trip around the boat.
16:12Oh, have you?
16:12Well, I've had a splendid time.
16:16Splendid.
16:18Right.
16:19Let's get some cake.
16:21Oh, yes.
16:32So, what was the story in Balawari today?
16:39Stevie was meant to be taking his cousin Liam out for the day, but Stevie had to sail the
16:44ferryboat instead.
16:46Liam was very disappointed.
16:49So, Archie promised to take him on a trip around the island.
16:53PC Plum suggested a trip to the beach to see the rock pools, across to the pond to feed
16:59the ducks and swans, and up to the top of the hill to watch the birds.
17:06But that was a long way to walk.
17:10Archie called on Edie McCready to see if she could drive them there on her bus.
17:15Edie agreed, but then had a great idea.
17:17She took Archie and Liam to visit Cousin Stevie on the ferryboat.
17:21They had a lovely time.
17:28So Liam wasn't disappointed after all.
17:32To make sure no one else is disappointed with this empty box of chocolates, I'll pop them
17:37in the bin.
17:40So, that was the story in Balawari.
17:43See you next time.
