01:52Well, 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
02:12So, I wonder what adventures we'll get up to today
02:16Just hang my coat up
02:20Now, why did I put that in there?
02:26Oh, I remember now
02:28It was to remind myself that Archie's popping in later today
02:33He's going to be taking some of the children on a walk round Bala Mori
02:36To see how many signs he can spot
02:39Well, I've spotted one already
02:42Ah, there's the school bus
02:45I wonder who'll be coming to visit us at the Bala Mori nursery today
02:50Good morning, Amar
02:54Hey, it's Cathwee
02:58Hello, Miriam
03:01Adjawa
03:01Kamal
03:02Phillip
03:03And who else, I wonder?
03:05And you, join in the fun too
03:09Everybody, everyone
03:12Come inside and join the fun
03:16Painting, splodging, splashing, dancing, robbing, building
03:21Make your favourite thing
03:24Everybody, everyone
03:27Come inside and join the fun
03:43Put your hands on your
03:48Elbows

03:51Put your hands on your
03:55Elbows
03:56Elbows
03:57All the best words
04:01Did you hear a noise?
04:03Yeah
04:05So did I
04:07Sounds like we have a visitor
04:09I wonder?
04:09I wonder who it can be
04:10I'll just go and see
04:12You wait in a sec
04:17Hello, Miss Hooley
04:18Hello, children
04:19Hello
04:23Hi there, Archie
04:24Are you here to take the children on their walk?
04:27Yes
04:28And I brought
04:31This
04:32A brown box?
04:34Yes and no
04:35It's got some very important bits in it
04:40Bits?
04:41Yes, bits
04:42There's two mirrors, look
04:45Oh
04:46Oh, goodness
04:49I can see you
04:51It's a periscope
04:53A periscope?
04:54Like on a submarine?
04:55Yeah, that sort of thing
04:57It's my greatest and latest invention
05:00You see, with two mirrors you can see
05:03Over things
05:05I thought it would be useful on our walk today
05:07There are hedgerows in Balamori
05:09And garden wall
05:10And with a periscope the children could see over them
05:12Good thinking, Archie
05:15Except, well, signs are usually easy to see
05:19They're on poles or up high on walls
05:22Are we looking at signs on our walk today?
05:24Yes
05:25Did I forget to tell you that?
05:27Yes
05:28Oh, don't worry
05:30So, where are all these signs?
05:32Well, I'm not sure which route to take to see the most signs, to be honest
05:36But I know someone who might
05:38Who?
05:39Josie Jump
05:40She jogs around Balamori every day
05:42She's bound to know the best route to take to find signs
05:45Right, well, I'll pop over and see Josie then
05:49Back in a sec
05:50Bye-bye
05:52Bye, Archie
05:54So, which coloured house do you think Archie will visit first today?
06:05Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
06:11Well, this part of the story in Balamori
06:14Which is the house for me?
06:17Is it yellow?
06:19Is it pink?
06:20Is it orange?
06:22What do you think?
06:23Is it red, green, blue or white?
06:26Which coloured house do you think is right?
06:29Yellow house?
06:30Orange house?
06:31Blue, pink or white?
06:34Green house?
06:36Red house?
06:37Which do you think is right?
06:46Which coloured house are we going to?
06:48Tell me what do you think?
06:51Which coloured house are we going to?
06:54Tell me what do you think?
06:58It's the yellow house!
07:00Yes, it's the yellow house
07:02Because that's where Josie Jump lives
07:07Hello Archie!
07:08Have a seat
07:08Thanks very much
07:12So, what can I do for you?
07:14Well, it's about your jogging
07:16At last! You finally want to come jogging with me!
07:19Well, no, not exactly, no
07:21You see, I may be taking a group of the children from the nursery out for a walk later
07:25Oh, that should be fun!
07:26Well, it should be, with your help, yes
07:28My help?
07:28Yes, you see, we're hoping to see lots of signs
07:31Oh, like street signs, erm
07:34Stop! Go!
07:36That kind of thing
07:37That's the sort of thing, yes
07:38We were wondering if you knew which was the best route to take if you wanted to see lots of
07:43signs
07:44Oh, I know, a great route!
07:46Oh, packed with signs!
07:48Oh, terrific!
07:49I'll tell you!
07:50No, I'll show it to you right now
07:52Here's how you do it
07:53Follow me?
07:58Come on Archie, keep up!
08:00Josie, couldn't we possibly get a little bit slower?
08:08Here we are! The first sign!
08:10What sign is that, Archie?
08:11Well, there's children on the sign, so there must be a school nearby
08:14Yep, it's the school sign, but we won't be here for long
08:17Off we go down to the harbour
08:18Come on!
08:19Oh!
08:23Come on Archie!
08:24Coming!
08:26Now, what do you think of this sign?
08:28Well, it's a car going for a swim
08:30Spend it!
08:31No, silly!
08:32That's where the car ferry comes in
08:34Alright, we'll wait to watch the ferry
08:36Oh, there's no time for that!
08:37Come on!
08:43Okay, Archie, this sign says bend
08:47So up the steep hill and round the bend
08:49Oh, steep hill
08:50And here's the roundabout sign
08:57And round goes the car
08:59Beep, beep, beep!
09:01Round and round
09:02And down the hill we go to the bus stop
09:05Oh, a bus! What a splendid idea!
09:13And there's the bus stop sign
09:15Oh!
09:16And that's Edie driving up in a bus!
09:18Bye, Edie!
09:20Bus!
09:21Bus!
09:22Oh, sorry Archie!
09:23You just missed the bus!
09:25Oh!
09:26It's gonna take me in the truck and all day to see these signs
09:29I'm hope to
09:34But it is a long walk, but there's so many signs to see
09:37There's no somewhere I can see the signs from without walking so much
09:40Well, if you had a tall tree or a tower or something
09:44Well, wait! I do have a tower!
09:46There's one on top of my castle!
09:48So you do!
09:49Well, that's what I'll do!
09:50I'll take the children up to the top of the tower!
09:51Yes! And you can get some binoculars and then you can see all the signs from there!
09:56Binoculars? That's a brilliant idea!
09:58Oh, I don't have any binoculars!
10:00Oh!
10:02Where in Balamori can we find some binoculars?
10:06The shop!
10:07Of course the shop!
10:09Pennypocket and Susie Sweet!

11:45Wee-hey!
11:56Oh, hello Archie!
11:58Hello Penny!
11:59Susie!
12:00Hi Archie!
12:01So what's the story in Balamori?
12:04Well, it all started this morning
12:08I was going to take some of the children from the nursery
12:11on a special walk around Balamori
12:13looking for signs
12:17I went to see Josie who told me where to find lots of signs all over the place
12:22But I realised it would take far too long to find all of the signs
12:28That's when we decided to use some binoculars
12:30That way from my tower we'd be able to see nearly every sign in Balamori
12:36So, do you have any binoculars?
12:38Hmm, binoculars
12:40I think we can help you in just a minute
12:44You know Archie, binoculars are fine
12:46But if you really want to spot signs
12:49you'd be better off with a telescope
12:51Like this
12:54Gosh, it's very, very big
12:56Big?
12:57Yes, that's the fella
12:58Well, of course it is
13:00The bigger the telescope, the more you can see
13:03Yes, but I only need to see signs in...
13:06Penny and I used it the other night to look at the moon
13:09You could see craters
13:10Craters
13:11Yes, but...
13:12Shooting stars
13:13Oh, you can watch them blazing across space
13:18Its long, fiery tail
13:20Fluttering behind it
13:22Yes, but...
13:23I can't afford it
13:25Well, why didn't you say so?
13:28Okay, Archie
13:29How many do you need?
13:31One, two, three
13:33Er...
13:34Do you mind if I...
13:35Dry them out?
13:36Of course not
13:40Oh
13:44Oh, I see
13:47Oh, these are terrific
13:53Archie!
13:53Oh, sorry
13:55Well...
13:57These binoculars really work
13:59With a pair of these from my tower
14:01You can see nearly every sign in Balamori
14:03I'll take every pair you have
14:06Sold!
14:08Oop!
14:09Oop!
14:22Nearly there!
14:26I'm glad we didn't have to walk too far
14:28Now, remember to pick your feet up
14:30The stairs are very steep
14:37Keep going
14:38All the way to the top
14:45Wait for me
14:51Right, Finn
14:52A pair of binoculars
14:53Thank you
14:54And Evan
14:55A pair of binoculars
14:56There we go
15:02You can see the whole of Balamori from here
15:06It's a bit like a telescope, isn't it?
15:08Except
15:08There's two of them
15:09So you have one for each eye
15:11Like this, see?
15:12And what it does
15:13It makes things that are far away
15:15Look closer
15:16So then we can see them more easily
15:18From here
15:19We can see all of Balamori
15:20We can have a look at it
15:21And see what we can see
15:23Oh, look
15:25There's a lovely seagull
15:26Gliding above the harbor
15:27A seagull!
15:29Oh, it is a seagull!
15:33Boats!
15:34What do we call a boat like that?
15:37A ferry
15:37A ferry, absolutely
15:39Main
15:40That's the one that takes people to Balamori
15:42And then takes people back to the mainland
15:44You see?
15:47A circle!
15:49It is a circle
15:49That circle is the roundabout
15:52Roundabout
15:53A roundabout
15:57Digging!
15:57And digging
15:58He's mending things
16:00So he's very hard at work
16:01I imagine he's going to need a cup of tea
16:03I know I shall
16:06Oh, look, it's a bus stop
16:09Well, next to it
16:10What's that park there?
16:11That yellow bus?
16:12Well, it's the Daisy bus, isn't it?
16:13It's Edie McCready's bus
16:18A lollipop stand!
16:21That's the very kind lollipop lady
16:23Who helps children like you cross the road
16:28Who's there?
16:30Who?
16:31Who?
16:32Who?
16:32It's you!
16:39So, what was the story in Balamori today?
16:50Well, Archie was going to take some of the nursery children on a walk to see all the signs around
16:55Balamori
16:57Before he took them, he went to ask Josie where all the signs were
17:02Josie knew exactly where to find all the good signs
17:05But Archie thought it was too far for the children to walk
17:08And far too far for him
17:12Josie suggested if they went to somewhere high up
17:15They would be able to see everything from the same spot
17:19Archie thought his tower would be perfect
17:22So Archie went to Pocket and Suite to buy some binoculars
17:26He can use them to see things that are very far away
17:30Then Archie took the children up his castle tower
17:34When they got to the top
17:35They all looked at the signs in Balamori through their binoculars
17:44But, they didn't see this one
17:51So, that was the story in Balamori today
17:55See you next time
17:57Bye!
