01:19Is it raining, sunny, windy, cloudy, playing outside the rain?

01:32What's the story in Bala Mori, tell us where we will go?
01:44Hello, I'm Miss Hooley. Don't I know you? What's your name?
01:50Ah, yes, of course. Well, what's the story in Bala Mori?
01:55Well, today in Bala Mori, it's a cold day.
02:03And everyone here is busy going to work and school.
02:11So, I wonder what adventures we'll get up to today.
02:15Just hang up my coat.
02:19Oh, look.
02:21Have you seen one of these before?
02:23It's an abacus.
02:26One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
02:36It's a counting machine.
02:40Ah, there's the school bus.
02:43I wonder who'll be coming to visit us at the Bala Mori nursery today?
02:48Come on in, Abdua.
02:50Hey, it's Calfway.
02:52There's Nolan.
02:55Hello, Miriam.
02:56And you come, everyone.
02:58And there's Neshava.
03:00And who else, I wonder?
03:02And you, join in the fun, too.
03:07Everybody, everyone, come inside and join the fun.
03:13Painting, splodging, splashing, dancing, lobbing, building.
03:18Make your favourite thing.
03:20Everybody, everyone, come inside and join the fun.
03:26Singing, stories, gluing, colouring, dressing up, playing games.
03:32Make your favourite thing.
03:34Everybody, everyone, come inside and join the fun.
03:40One, two, three, four, five.
03:41Hmm.
03:42Paintbrushes now.
03:45One, two, three, four.
03:47One, two, three, four.
03:49And how many feathers?
03:51One.
03:52One feather chest.
03:53Hi.
03:55I hear a noise.
03:57Sounds like we have a visitor.
03:59I wonder who it could be.
04:00Just go and see.
04:03Hello there, Susie.
04:04Hello, Miss Hooley.
04:06Hello.
04:07Hello, Susie.
04:12I brought some more juice for the children's break.
04:15Oh, thank you, Susie.
04:16That's grand.
04:18Now, how many do I need this morning?
04:21One, two, three.
04:23Oh, thanks for delivering that, Susie.
04:25I know how busy you are at the cafe.
04:26Yes, we are very busy.
04:30Actually, Miss Hooley, I was wanting to ask you something.
04:33What do you think about my cousin Christine's new cafe on the mainland?
04:37Your cousin's new cafe?
04:40Nine, ten.
04:41It's doing very well.
04:43And Christine, my cousin, thinks I'm so good at running our wee cafe.
04:47Oh, you certainly are.
04:48You and Penny do a wonderful job.
04:50Yes, well, she's wanting me to run her cafe while she goes away for the weekend.
04:55Oh, that sounds like a good idea, Susie.
04:57Do you think so?
04:58It's on the mainland.
05:00Well, of course, I've not been to your cousin's cafe, but I should imagine it's very fancy.
05:05Fancy?
05:05And swish.
05:07Swish?
05:08Oh, but I'm just used to running our wee cafe.
05:12I don't think I could cope with swish and fancy.
05:15Well, of course, I don't know what the cafe's like.
05:18It might not be swish at all.
05:19No.
05:20Well, you could ask Edie McCready.
05:23She might know what your cousin's cafe's like.
05:26She's always driving over to the mainland in her bus.
05:28Maybe she's been there.
05:30Maybe she has.
05:32That's a good idea, Miss Hooley.
05:34I'll go and ask Edie.
05:37Bye, Susie.
05:38Bye.
05:39So, which coloured house do you think Susie will visit first today?
05:49Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
05:55Well, this part of the story in Balamori asks which is the house for me.
06:01Is it orange, is it blue?
06:04Which coloured house are we going to?
06:07Green, red, white, yellow or pink?
06:09Tell me, what do you think?
06:12Yellow house, blue house, green, red or pink?
06:18White house, orange house, tell me, what do you think?
06:29Which coloured house are we going to?
06:32Tell me, what do you think?
06:35Which coloured house are we going to?
06:38Tell me, what do you think?
06:41It's the blue house!
06:43Yes, it's the blue house.
06:46Because that's where Edie MacReady lives.
06:51Hi, Edie.
06:53Oh, hello, Susie.
06:55Breakfast?
06:56Yes, well, it's a very late breakfast, really.
06:59I was up so early this morning.
07:01Of course.
07:04Well, what can I do for you?
07:06Well, I was wondering if you've ever been to my cousin Christine's cafe.
07:11It's on the mainland.
07:12Oh, yes, it's great.
07:14I love it there.
07:16You do?
07:17I always stop for a slap-up meal when I want to treat myself to something really special.
07:24What kind of food do they serve?
07:26They serve fish and chips.
07:29Fish and chips?
07:29I think I can cope with that.
07:31Fish and chips and peas and fish and chips and beans.
07:35Fish and chips and tomatoes.
07:36Fish, fingers, chips and peas.
07:39Fish, fingers, chips and beans.
07:40Fish, fingers and chips and fi...
07:43They do have an awful lot of different things on the menu.
07:46Oh, sausage and mash.
07:48Sausage and chips.
07:49Sausage and beans.
07:51Sausage rolls.
07:52Sausage sandwiches.
07:54Oh!
07:55Green salad, chicken salad, tuna salad.
07:59Stop, Eddie, stop.
08:00It's very swish.
08:02Very swish, yes.
08:04I think I get the idea, Eddie.
08:08Aye.
08:18Oh, there you are, Susie. I thought you got lost.
08:22I've been to see Evie about Christine's cafe on the mainland.
08:26Tell me, Penny, how do we serve fish in the cafe?
08:29Fish and chips.
08:31And?
08:31Peas.
08:32Exactly.
08:33Why? What's up?
08:34Well, you know my cousin.
08:36Christine, yes.
08:37What about her?
08:38Well, you know she's asked me to work in her new cafe
08:40while she's away for the weekend.
08:42Yes.
08:43Well, it's all very swish and fancy.
08:45Serve all kind of things.
08:47So many different dishes.
08:49I'm going to have to be super fast
08:52to get all the orders written down.
08:54And then I'm going to have to remember them all.
08:57And...
08:58And?
08:58I don't think I can do it.
09:00Of course you can.
09:02But how?
09:03You just need to use something to help you.
09:05That's a good idea.
09:07But what?
09:09Oh, I don't know.
09:11Erm...
09:11A machine of some kind.
09:13Where am I going to get a machine
09:15that'll help me to take down the orders?
09:18Who in Ballamory is good at making machines
09:21and inventing ways to solve problems?
09:24There must be somebody.
09:29Archie!
09:31Archie!
09:35Archie!
09:54Archie!
10:01Take a box.
10:03And some yoghurt pop-tops.
10:05Hey!
10:06It's a car.
10:07Inventing with Archie is never a bore.
10:10Come on, let's make some more.
10:13Build a rocket.
10:14From a squidgy bottle.
10:15And stick on bits of junk.
10:18Here's a crazy clip-top puppet.
10:20Dance and do the honky-tonk.
10:28I'm Archie, the inventor.
10:31I know how things are done.
10:34I can make absolutely anything.
10:37Inventing things is fun.
10:39I'm always on the lookout
10:41for things that I might use.
10:45Collecting odds and ends from all of my friends
10:47to make a little treat for you.
10:50If you need something made
10:51and don't know what to do,
10:52then Archie is the one for you.
10:55Call Archie and I'll help you through.
10:58Call Archie and I'll help you through.
11:03Ah!
11:05I win again, Lobby.
11:09Hi, Archie.
11:10Oh, hello, Susie.
11:12What's the story in Bellamore?
11:14Well, my cousin Christine has asked me
11:17to go over to the mainland
11:18to look after her new Cathy
11:20while she goes away for the weekend.
11:27This morning, I delivered the juice to the nursery
11:30and asked Miss Hooley if she knew what the cafe is like.
11:34Miss Hooley thought it would be swish and fancy.
11:38Then I went to see Edie.
11:40She had been to my cousin's cafe before.
11:43She told me about some of the things on the menu.
11:46There were so many different dishes.
11:49I didn't think I'd remember them all
11:51or be able to write down the orders quickly enough.
11:57So I went back to see Penny in the shop.
12:00She said that I needed some sort of machine to take the orders.
12:05And I thought of you.
12:09Can you help me, please?
12:11Of course I can.
12:13I'd love to think up something to help you take orders in the cafe.
12:15Oh, thank you, Archie.
12:17Right.
12:18Let me think.
12:19Hang on.
12:20I think I know just the thing.
12:23Ah, yes.
12:24Here we are.
12:27A tape recorder.
12:28What you do, you see?
12:29You hang it around your neck.
12:31Ah.
12:32And you ask the customer what they want.
12:33And you record their order, you see.
12:35Let's have a go, OK?
12:36You be the customer.
12:37Right.
12:38Ah, madam.
12:40Well...
12:42I'd like fish and chips and beans and tomatoes
12:46and a cup of tea and some apple crumble.
12:51Perfect.
12:52Now you see.
12:53Just play it back.
12:54Just wind it.
12:56And then you press play.
12:58Oh, play.
12:59Ah, see.
13:00I'd like...
13:02Hmm?
13:03Well, that shouldn't happen.
13:04What's the matter?
13:05I don't know.
13:11Oh, don't worry.
13:12I'm sure I've got another tape somewhere.
13:13I don't think a tape recorder's a good idea, Archie.
13:17But...
13:17I want something I can rely on.
13:20OK.
13:22What you need is a code.
13:25A code?
13:26Yes, that's it.
13:26A picture code.
13:27It'll be really speedy, you see.
13:29What you do is you write down in your audiobook
13:30pictures of all the things that you're setting, you see.
13:32And each time someone wants one, you put a mark next to it.
13:34So, for instance...
13:35Uh...
13:36Uh...
13:36A fish.
13:37Picture something quite simple, like, uh...
13:39Fish.
13:40A fish.
13:41Oh, perfect.
13:41Right.
13:45Like that, you see.
13:46Uh...
13:47And then, uh...
13:48Chip.
13:49Yes.
13:51Chips.
13:52Peas.
13:55Beans.
13:56And tomatoes.
13:59And then...
14:00I'll be a sausage.
14:03Now, you see.
14:04If someone wants two or something, for instance, sausages,
14:07then you just put a two next to it in the code.
14:08Oh.
14:09Like this.
14:09Sausages.
14:11Yes.
14:11That's a great idea.
14:13Except...
14:14The peas and the beans and the tomatoes, they all look the same.
14:17How would I know which is which?
14:19That's easy.
14:20What do you prefer?
14:21Peas or beans?
14:22Peas.
14:22Right, then.
14:23Put a big smiley face on the pea.
14:25Like this.
14:27So, a smiley circle means a pea.
14:30That's right.
14:31Yes.
14:32What about the tomatoes?
14:33Ah.
14:34That's all right.
14:34You put a stalk hat on the tomato, like this.
14:36A great idea, Archie.
14:38And it's fast and easy.
14:40And it won't break down.
14:43Well, I'll just go and work out the rest of the code,
14:45because I've got a ferry to catch.
14:47Oh, well.
14:47Have fun.
14:51Oh, my!
14:59This is swish.
15:01And fancy.
15:09Hello, everybody.
15:11Hi, what are you?
15:12I'm Susie.
15:13Are you ready to order?
15:15Yeah, please.
15:16Right, madam, what would you like?
15:18Fish and chips and beans, please.
15:20Fish and chips.
15:22Fish and chips and beans.
15:29No smile.
15:30And, sir, what would you like to order?
15:32Sausage, mash and peas, please.
15:35Sausage.
15:36Mash and peas.
15:38Mash and peas with a smile.
15:44What would you like to order, Alicia?
15:46Chips and fish and fish, please.
15:49Chips and fish fingers.
15:51What about you, sir?
15:52Chips and fish fingers, please.
15:54Just the same.
15:56Oh, good.
15:57I'll see you later.
15:59Hi.
16:00Now, that's one fish and chips and beans.
16:05Sausage and mash and peas.
16:09And two fish fingers and chips.
16:12No problem, Susie.
16:13Come right out.
16:19Here we are.
16:21Fish fingers and chips twice.
16:26Fish and chips and beans.
16:30Fish and peas.
16:33Enjoy your meal.
16:45Let me eat something.
16:50Now it's time for my meal.
16:53And I remembered all the food orders, thanks to Archie's clever code idea.
16:58Oh.
17:02Mmm.
17:09So, what was the story in Balamori today?
17:15Susie?
17:16Well.
17:20Susie brought the juice to the nursery this morning.
17:23She was worried about helping in her cousin's cafe because it might be very swish.
17:29So, she went to see if Edie had eaten there before.
17:33She told Susie about all the different dishes on the menu.
17:37Susie was very worried that she wouldn't be able to write the orders down quickly enough.
17:43So, she asked Archie if he could invent a machine to help her take the orders.
17:48Archie helped Susie invent a picture code to write everything down quickly.
17:54It worked a treat.
17:56Susie remembered all the food orders and really enjoyed working in her cousin's cafe.
18:06We've all had a lovely day here in Balamori.
18:09I'll see you next time.
18:11Bye.
18:12Bye.
18:27What's the story in Balamori, where would you like to go?
18:41Balamori.
18:46What's the story in Balamori, where would you like to know?
18:56Balamori.
18:57What's the story in Balamori, where would you like to know?
19:01What's the story in Balamori, where would you like to know?
19:05Bye.
