01:43So what's the story in Bala Mori?
01:45It's a windy day
01:46A windy day?
01:48Whee!
01:49I'll blow better than with a chart

01:54Trees blowing in the wind for a windy day in Bala Mori
01:58See you later
01:59See ya
02:00See ya
02:03Hi
02:03Hi
02:05Hello there
02:06How are you?
02:08Oh, that's good
02:09I feel that wind outside a bit nippy today
02:13I think I'll stay indoors
02:16Whew
02:17Here we go
02:22That's better
02:25Oh, look
02:29A leaf
02:31Isn't that beautiful
02:34Today is a play day in Bala Mori
02:37So I wonder what adventures we'll get up to
02:41Everyone's at home today
02:42What do you like to do?
02:45Do you like to roll the skate
02:48Or go to the swimming pool?
02:50I like to sit here watching
02:53Watching everyone
02:55Choosing what to do today
02:58And joining in the fun
03:04Everyone's at home today
03:06You could have some friends to tea
03:08Football in the garden
03:11Or a visit to the sea
03:13You could help around the house
03:16Or maybe wash the car
03:19Splashing water everywhere
03:21Have fun wherever you are
03:25Whatever it is you like to do
03:28Have fun wherever you are
03:32One, two, one, three, the docks
03:35And the, the duck pond
03:37Oh, that sounds lovely
03:39But I think it's a bit too windy and chilly for me today
03:42I think I'm going to stay inside
03:44I'm going to sit over there
03:46Snuggle up
03:47And read my book
03:48Does that sound good?
03:51Did you hear that?
03:53Sounds like someone's coming to the cafe
03:57Hi there, Spencer
03:58Hi, Miss Lily
03:59You're just the person I'm looking for
04:01Well, here I am
04:03Listen
04:05I need to ask you a favour
04:06Oh?
04:06You know Maggie, don't you?
04:08Yes, of course
04:08Well, her back garden is a mess
04:11It's covered in leaves
04:12Oh, dear
04:13I know
04:13I said I'd help her and the children clear it up
04:16Only
04:16I want to make it fun for the children
04:19So I thought you might have some ideas
04:20Oh
04:21And perhaps you might even come along and help us out
04:24Oh, dear
04:25I'm sorry, Spencer
04:27But it's a bit too windy and chilly for me today
04:30I was looking forward to staying inside
04:33In the snug and reading my book
04:35That's all right
04:38Maybe you can still help me out
04:39How can I make clearing up leaves fun for the children?
04:43Well, you could make a leaf picture
04:45A leaf picture?
04:47Yes, it's fun
04:48That'd be a great thing to do at the inn
04:50When we've cleared up all the leaves
04:51But making a leaf picture won't actually clear the leaves up
04:55Oh, yes, you're right
04:57I wonder what else you could do
04:59I know
05:00Why don't you go to see Josie jump?
05:02She could make clearing up anything fun
05:04That's a great idea
05:06Thanks, Miss Hooley
05:07I'll go see Josie
05:08And I'll read my book
05:13So, which coloured house do you think Spencer will visit first today?
05:24Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
05:30Well, this part of the story in Balamori asks, which is the house for me?
05:36Is it green?
05:37Is it red?
05:39Or should I go to the White House instead?
05:42Yellow, pink, orange or blue?
05:44Which coloured house am I going to?
05:47Green house?
05:49Red house?
05:50Orange or pink?
05:53Yellow house?
05:54Blue or white?
05:56Tell me, what do you think?
06:04Which coloured house are we going to?
06:07Tell me, what do you think?
06:10Which coloured house are we going to?
06:13Tell me, what do you think?
06:16It's a yellow house!
06:19Yes!
06:20Yes, it's the yellow house, because that's where Josie Jump lives!
06:261,2,3,1
06:28Come in!
06:28One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three.
06:32Hi, Josie.
06:33Oh, hi, Spencer.
06:35Come on.
06:36Join in.
06:37Well, I'm not really good at dancing.
06:39Whoa.
06:40Don't worry.
06:41You'll soon get the hang of it.
06:43Okay.
06:43One, two, three, one.
06:45Sorry.
06:46Three, very good.
06:49I was wondering if you could help me, Josie.
06:51One, all three.
06:53Try two, three.
06:54Well, I'm going to be clearing leaves in Maggie's garden.
06:58Leaves?
06:58Mm-hmm.
06:59Oh, you can have fantastic fun with leaves.
07:02Kicking them is the best thing ever.
07:05It is?
07:05Well, it certainly looks like fun.
07:08Why don't we do some conga leaf kicking?
07:13Da-da-da-da.
07:14Hey.
07:15Da-da-da-da.
07:16Ho.
07:16Da-da-da-da.
07:18Hey.
07:18Da-da-da-da.
07:19Ho.
07:21Hey.
07:21Oh, what about the flamenco leaf kicking?
07:27Oh, yeah.
07:30Oh, yeah.
07:32Oh, yeah.
07:33Oh, yeah.
07:36Hey, hey, hey.
07:37Oh, what about my favorite?
07:39The salsa leaf kicking.
07:43Salsa!
07:45Woo!
07:46Arriba!
07:48You know, I don't think that salsa leaf kicking is really my thing.
07:53Nonsense!
07:53You just need a bit of leaf kicking practice.
07:56Then, the children can join in.
07:59See?
07:59Are you sure this is going to work?
08:01Of course it will.
08:02Well, it's certainly a lot of fun, but I don't think it's actually clearing up the leaves.
08:07It's just spreading them all over the place.
08:10Oh, no.
08:11How am I going to clear up the leaves and make it fun for the children as well?
08:14I need some sort of fun leaf clear.
08:19Who in Balamori can make me a fun leaf clear?
08:21Why aren't you going to ask Archie?
08:23He's brilliant at making things.
08:25That's a great idea.
08:27Archie's the man for the job.
08:33I'm Archie the inventor.
08:36I know how things are done.
08:39I can make absolutely anything.
08:42Inventing things is fun.
08:44I'm always on the lookout for things that I might use.
08:50Collecting odds and ends from all of my friends to make a little treat for you.
09:00Take a box and some yoghurt pop tops.
09:03Hey, it's a car.
09:06Inventing with Archie is never a bore.
09:09Come on, let's make some more.
09:11Build a rocket from a squidgy bottle and stick on bits of junk.
09:15Here's a crazy clip-clop puppet dancing to the honky-tonk.
09:26I'm Archie the inventor.
09:29I know how things are done.
09:32I can make absolutely anything.
09:35Inventing things is fun.
09:37I'm always on the lookout for things that I might use.
09:43Collecting odds and ends from all of my friends to make a little treat for you.
09:48If you need something made and don't know what to do, then Archie is the one for you.
09:53Call Archie and I'll help you through.
09:56Call Archie and I'll help you through.
10:05One, two, knit one.
10:07Hi Archie!
10:10Spencer would maybe drop a stitch.
10:12Sorry.
10:14Well, it's certainly nippy out today.
10:17What's the story in Ballamory?
10:19Well, the wind has blown leaves all over Maggie's garden.
10:23It's a real mess.
10:24So I offered to go help her and her children clear it up.
10:30But I wanted to make clearing up the leaves fun.
10:33So I went to the cafe to ask Ms. Hooley to help.
10:36She thought making a leaf pitcher would be fun.
10:42Ms. Hooley thought Josie might be able to help.
10:44But when I popped around, she was busy practicing her ballroom dancing.
10:50She tried to teach me some steps, and then she showed me how to do leaf kicking.
10:55It was really good fun, but it still didn't solve my problem.
10:59You see, kicking leaves doesn't clear them up.
11:03No, it does not.
11:05So I thought you might have some ideas on how to make leaf clearing fun for the children.
11:10Well, I think simplicity is the thing here, Spencer.
11:13Simplicity what?
11:14First of all, you have to gather up the leaves using that most ingenious of inventions.
11:18Yes?
11:19The garden rake.
11:20Pretty sure I've got one here somewhere.
11:22Maybe that's a hoe.
11:24Ah, here we are.
11:25One rake.
11:26So I rake up the leaves.
11:29Right?
11:30Into a big pile.
11:31What then?
11:33Well, then you need to put them into a plastic garden sack.
11:36Like that's one.
11:37How do I do that?
11:39Using my own splendid invention.
11:42The leaf grabber.
11:43Oh.
11:46It's a very simple principle.
11:48You just need...
11:51Cardboard.
11:52And all the pots.
11:54And then some tape.
11:56Right there, sir.
12:02It's full.
12:12Again, like so.
12:13Cutting it out like that.
12:15Now you see, these pots, they'll be the handles.
12:19Now, you must take them together here, like that.
12:21So it has a hinge.
12:24Thank you very much.
12:31This one.
12:33There you go, you see.
12:35And then, you grab the leaves up like this.
12:39You see.
12:40Then you pop them into the garden sack, using a funnel.
12:43Like this, you see.
12:52And there you have all your equipment.
12:54This is fantastic.
12:57Right.
12:57So I've got my rake, my grabber, and my funneler.
13:03No, no, no, no.
13:04That's the grabber.
13:05That's the funneler.
13:07All right.
13:07Tell you what.
13:09Why don't I come along with you?
13:10Give you the benefit of my expertise.
13:12That would be fantastic, Archie.
13:14Don't mention it.
13:14Shall we?
13:15Hmm?
13:21Hi, guys.
13:23Now, are you ready to gather up some leaves?
13:26Yeah?
13:26Are you ready?
13:27But it's a bit cold outside, so we want to get ourselves warm and have some fun, too.
13:31And we can start by kicking leaves, okay?
13:33So let's kick some leaves.
13:35Show me your cake.
13:35Show me what you've got.
13:36All right.
13:37Yeah.
13:39There's a leaf on your boot.
13:41There's a leaf on your boot.
13:41Here's a leaf.
13:46Let's go.
13:50Let's go.
13:50Here's a leaf.
13:50Okay, this way.
13:56Okay, guys.
13:57Now that we're all nice and warm, let's say we rake up some leaves, okay?
14:01Who wants to help switch to rake?
14:03Me.
14:04This rake's bigger than you.
14:05Here.
14:07Rake them leaves up.
14:08I want a rake.
14:09We can all share. Look at this. You guys can all make more of the leaves.
14:18Oh, that's great.
14:20That's a top bit of gravy, man.
14:22That's excellent. What do you say we gather up these leaves now, huh?
14:26This, you see, is my special leaf crab image.
14:29It's a hinge there, made by tape.
14:31And these are the handles, which are made by Yogacross.
14:33And it goes just like this, you see.
14:36Open it up like that.
14:37There's the leaves.
14:38And then, marvellously, you see, it picks the leaves up.
14:42Absolutely fantastic.
14:43And that way, they go straight into the bag through the funnel, you see.
14:45Okay, Megan, do you want to make a shot?
14:47Oh, that's cool. Top leaf crab.
14:59Oh, well done.
15:00Oh, thank you very much.
15:02Of course, there's not a lot of leaves.
15:06Oh, well, that was a job. Well done, guys. Good job.
15:10Well done.
15:11And thanks for your cool invention, Archie.
15:13Oh, really? It was my pleasure.
15:15Thanks.
15:16Well, I've got a few leaves left.
15:17Why don't we go inside and make a leaf pitcher?
15:21Okay, guys, what I want you to do is to grab a leaf, and we're going to make a leaf
15:26card.
15:26And I'm going to make a card for Ms. Hooley.
15:28I'm making my special card for Edie.
15:31Archie's going to hand out the card.
15:33And I will hand out the brushes.
15:36One for you.
15:37Thank you. There you go, Megan.
15:38And one for Spencer.
15:42Oh, that's very cool.
16:02Okay, guys, did you have fun?
16:04Yeah.
16:04Yeah.
16:06That's a way.
16:07Okay, let's hang up these parts, please.
16:20Well, I've been all snug today sitting here reading my book.
16:25And look, I've almost finished.
16:29So, what was the story in Balamori today?
16:34Well...
16:37This morning, Spencer came to the cafe to ask for my help.
16:41He had promised to clear the leaves from Maggie's garden, and wanted to make it fun for the children.
16:47I suggested they make pictures with the leaves.
16:51Spencer liked my idea, but he still needed to find a way to clear the leaves up.
16:58So, he went to see Josie Jump.
17:00She was really busy practising her ballroom dancing.
17:05She thought that leaf kicking would be great fun, and taught Spencer a few moves.
17:10But Spencer realised this would just make a lot of mess.
17:15So Josie told him to go and visit Archie.
17:18As usual, Archie was a big help.
17:21Not only did he give Spencer tips on leaf clearing, he invented a leaf grabber and funneler to make the
17:28job easy and fun to do.
17:31They both went round to Maggie's, and everyone had a great time clearing up the leaves.
17:37Afterwards, they made pictures with them.
17:43We've all enjoyed ourselves in Balamori today. I hope you have too.
17:48And look, I've got myself a beautiful new bookmark.
17:56So, that was the story in Balamori.
18:00I wonder if it's still windy outside.
18:05See you next time. Bye!
18:21Balamori, Balamori.
18:22What's the story in Balamori?
18:25What do you like to know?
18:37Balamori.
18:42What's the story in Balamori?
18:44Wouldn't you like to know?
18:52Balamori.
18:54What's the story of Balamori, would you like to know?
18:58What's the story of Balamori, tell us where we will go!
