03:35And then
03:36Pull it further away
03:37You can see it getting bigger
03:38Can you see?
03:40You're stepping
03:40You see it getting bigger?
03:43See how big it looks?
03:44I can't see it getting bigger
03:45You can even shut your eye like that
03:47Look
03:47See?
03:49Oh!
03:50Did you hear that?
03:53Sounds like we have a visitor
03:55I wonder who it can be
03:56I'm just going to see
04:00Morning, Archie
04:01Morning, Missouli
04:01Hello, everyone
04:02Hello, Archie!
04:05Oh, gosh
04:06Looks like fun
04:08Missouli, can I have a quick word?
04:09Oh, come on through
04:12So, what do you want to talk about, Archie?
04:15Oh, I was just going to say that I'll be along later to pick up my nephew
04:18Kieran?
04:19Kieran, yes
04:19He's going to the opticians
04:20Oh, yes, I remember
04:22He's going to get some new glasses, isn't he?
04:24New glasses, yes
04:25I want to make it fun for him
04:26So, I bought these from Pocket and Sweet
04:32Oh dear
04:33Pink pong balls
04:34What are they for?
04:36Ah, it's a surprise
04:38A surprise?
04:40I remember going to the opticians when I was a boy
04:42It was always a bit of an adventure
04:43So, I thought that I'd make Kieran a spectacle box
04:47A spectacle box?
04:48What's that?
04:49Ah, it's a box for putting your glasses in
04:51I'm going to make it out of an egg box
04:54But what are the ping pong balls for?
04:56For the eyes
04:58Oh, I see
04:59Oh, er, yes
05:01I'm going to make a special box for Josie's sunglasses, too
05:03Oh, you are going to be busy
05:05Oh, very busy
05:07In fact, I'd probably better head home straight away and get started
05:09I'll be back to collect Kieran later
05:10Bye
05:11Bye
05:15So, which coloured house do you think Archie will visit first today?
05:25Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
05:30Well, this part of the story in Palomarius
05:34Which is the house for me?
05:37Is it yellow?
05:38Is it pink?
05:40Is it orange?
05:41What do you think?
05:43Is it red, green, blue or white?
05:45Which coloured house do you think is right?
05:48Yellow house?
05:50Orange house?
05:51Blue, pink or white?
05:54Green house?
05:55Red house?
05:56Which do you think is white?
06:05Which coloured house are we going to?
06:08Tell me what do you think?
06:11Which coloured house are we going to?
06:13Tell me what do you think?
06:17It's the pink house!
06:19Yes, it's the pink house
06:20Because that's where I live
06:25Right then
06:30Pink-pong balls for eyes
06:34Throw little dots on them to make them look more like eyes
06:40Well, Kieran will love that
06:43Right, now one for Juicy Jump
06:47More dots
06:51Right, let's put our sunglasses in there
06:58Now then, what do you think, Nobby?
07:01OK
07:03Just take this round to Josie's
07:04Then I'll be back for Kieran's later
07:10Oh, Josie's going to love this
07:13Oh!
07:16Oh, I feel that was close
07:17Wouldn't want to break Josie's sunglasses
07:19Right, now I'll just put it there when I do my laces up
07:26That's better
07:27I hope Josie's in
07:29There's nothing like balloon dancing to keep you fit
07:32Mustn't let the balloon touch the floor
07:37Oh, hello Josie
07:38You having a party?
07:39Nope, just keeping fit
07:41I had no idea that keeping fit could be such fun
07:44Don't let the balloon touch the floor, Archie
07:45Oh dear
07:49Sorry
07:50Oh, I've got your sunglasses, by the way
07:53Oh, I was hoping they would be ready soon
07:55I've made a rather special box for them
07:57Oh, it's fantastic
07:58It's wonderful, I love it
08:00I'm rather pleased with it
08:01The sunglasses fit rather well inside
08:05But where are my sunglasses?
08:07They're inside the spectacle box
08:08But they're not there
08:10Yes they are, I put them in there myself
08:12No, it's empty
08:14What have you done with my sunglasses?
08:16But I'm sure I put them in there before I left home
08:19And then I walked here and then I gave them to you
08:21Well, they're not here
08:23What am I going to do?
08:24Oh dear
08:26There must be some logical explanation for this
08:29I was walking here with the spectacle box
08:32And I tripped over my shoelace and I nearly dropped the spectacles
08:35So I stopped, tried to tie up my shoelace
08:39I put the spectacle box down and that's it
08:43That's what must have happened
08:44What?
08:45Somebody must have taken the sunglasses out of the box when I wasn't looking
08:49Oh dear, what will I do now?
08:52There must be somebody in Balamori who can solve mysteries
08:55And someone who can help me find my missing sunglasses
08:58Of course!
08:59Plumbers!
09:06If you have a little problem, do not frown
09:10Do not frown
09:11Those things all lost and stolen can be found
09:14Can be found
09:15Do not touch a thing around you
09:17Not a crumb
09:19Just call up your policeman PC Plunk
09:22PC Plunk
09:23Follow the clue, follow the clue
09:28Remember what you did and where you went and what you've done
09:31Sticky fingers leave a mark and lead to sticky buns
09:35Every clue will be collected and examined by a blunt
09:41Follow the clue, follow the clue
09:43From the major, from the major
09:45Follow the clue, follow the clue
09:47I will work it out
09:49If you have a little problem, do not frown
09:52Do not frown
09:53Those things all lost and stolen can be found
09:56Can be found
09:57If you've got a question
09:59Just ask your willing chum
10:01The answer you will get from PC Plums
10:05Poor Prince lead to animals, I can tell you everyone
10:10Would Prince lead to mucky boots?
10:12Did they walk or did they run?
10:13Every clue will be collected and examined by a blunt
10:19Follow the clue, follow the clue
10:51Follow the clue, follow the clue
10:51We have a mystery.
10:52Oh.
10:53My sunglasses are missing.
10:56Oh dear.
10:56Well, I think we should start at the beginning.
10:59Well, that's a good idea.
11:00So, what's the story in Balamori?
11:02Oh, well, it all started when I bought some ping-pong balls.
11:09I called into the nursery to remind Miss Hooley that I'm taking my nephew Ciaran to the opticians later today.
11:16I told Miss Hooley I planned to make some spectacle boxes with the ping-pong balls.
11:21At home, I made a spectacle box for Ciaran and a yellow spectacle box for Josie.
11:26Josie's spectacle box was for her sunglasses.
11:29I set off with Josie's spectacle box.
11:32My shoelace was undone, so I stopped to tie it up.
11:35I carefully put Josie's spectacle box on the clock tower while I tied my lace.
11:40When I arrived at Josie's, I gave her the spectacle box.
11:43It was empty.
11:48Somebody must have taken the spectacles out of the box when I wasn't looking.
11:52Hmm, well, maybe there is another explanation, Archie.
11:55Do you think so?
11:56What I think we need to do is go to the point where you last saw the sunglasses and then
12:00retrace your steps.
12:01Well, that would be my house when I put the spectacles into the box.
12:04Okay, well, let's go back to your house then.
12:06Righto, plumbers.
12:07Oh, now, I'll take this spectacle box for evidence.
12:11Now, don't worry, Josie.
12:11I'm sure we'll find your sunglasses.
12:13I hope so.
12:14Come on.
12:22So this is the last place you saw the sunglasses?
12:25That's right.
12:26I was making spectacle boxes.
12:27One for my nephew Ciaran for when I take him to the opticians later,
12:30and one for Josie Jump to put her sunglasses in.
12:32So what did you do with the sunglasses?
12:34That's easy.
12:35I distinctly remember putting them in Josie's box.
12:37Josie's box?
12:38Yes, the yellow one.
12:40Correct me if I'm wrong, Archie, but aren't they both yellow?
12:43Oh.
12:44Yes, I suppose they are quite difficult to tell apart.
12:48And you put the sunglasses in this box?
12:50Yes.
12:51Oh, no.
12:52Well, I mean, oh, am I...
12:54Oh, they both look the same.
12:56Archie, I think you put the sunglasses in the wrong box.
12:59Did I really?
13:00Yes.
13:01You gave this box to Josie,
13:04and you put the sunglasses in the box that you made for Ciaran.
13:07Ah.
13:08So they weren't taken after all?
13:10No, they were just in the wrong box.
13:12Oh, I'm so glad you found the sunglasses, plumbers.
13:15It's a brilliant piece of detective work.
13:17Maybe I should get my eyes tested as well.
13:20Oh, Ciaran.
13:21Must be his appointment soon.
13:23I must go and pick him up.
13:24Oh, and give him his spectacle box.
13:27Oh, without the sunglasses?
13:29Oh, yes.
13:31They belong in Josie's box.
13:32And I'll drop this box off to Josie and my way home.
13:35Bye.
13:37Right, so I've got the spectacle box, I don't have Josie's sunglasses.
13:41All I did now is Ciaran.
13:50Hello, you've done your eyes tested.
13:52This is where Ciaran here is.
13:54Oh, hello, Ciaran.
13:56And I was wondering if I could have mine done as well.
13:57I think I might need new lenses.
13:59That shouldn't be a problem.
14:01If you want to hear the petition, then she'll take you through to have your eyes tested in
14:04the test room.
14:04Great.
14:06Let's go through here.
14:09Okay, I'm going to put these funny glasses on.
14:12Okay.
14:13Can you still see out?
14:15Yeah.
14:15Look at you.
14:16Those are good.
14:17They fit you really well, don't they?
14:18Mm-hmm.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Now, I'm going to ask you to look over there.
14:22Can you see the mirror?
14:23Can you?
14:25Yeah.
14:25Now, we're going to put some special pictures on there for you.
14:29Can you look in the mirror for me?
14:31What can you see there for me, Ciaran?
14:32What can you see?
14:33A boy.
14:33You can see a boy.
14:34What else can you see?
14:36A flower.
14:36A flower.
14:37All right.
14:38We're going to have some new pictures, okay?
14:39What can you see?
14:41A tree and a son and a bird.
14:43And a bird.
14:44Okay.
14:46Now, let's go back on again.
14:49Okay, let's look at this picture at the top for me.
14:53Can you see those pictures just now?
14:55Yeah, I can see a tree and a son and a bird.
14:57Can you see the tree?
14:59Good boy.
15:00And let's have a look at this.
15:01What's next to the tree?
15:02What can you see?
15:04What's next to the tree?
15:06Sun.
15:06It's the sun.
15:07That's perfect.
15:09Can I take this off?
15:10Yeah.
15:11Give you a wee rest from that.
15:12Now, I've got another special trick to do.
15:15This is a light I want you to look at.
15:18Can you look at the light for me?
15:19Yeah.
15:20Okay, now, I want you to watch this light.
15:22You've got to follow this light all the way across here, okay?
15:26That's a good boy.
15:28Okay, that's fine.
15:31Now, I've got another special trick here.
15:35This is a funny thing to look at.
15:36It's like a big stick, okay?
15:39Now, what do I want you to do?
15:40Can you see the line for me?
15:42Can you see this wee line, the wee dot?
15:44I want you to keep looking at that wee line, the wee dot.
15:48Can you still see?
15:49Can you?
15:50Oh, you're very good.
15:52Well done.
15:53Good, that's perfect.
15:57Now, what we'll do is have a wee look at the very back of your eyes.
16:02Can you look at the green cross there for me, can you?
16:05Yeah.
16:05You watch the green cross, and I'll take a wee look in your eyes with this.
16:09That's a good boy.
16:11That's fine then, Karen.
16:12So, what we can do is make up some glasses for you, okay?
16:18And you've got some special glasses that you can use for drawing.
16:28That's the lens on.
16:29Or lens away.
16:31Lens away.
16:37Tell me when that word becomes very blurt.
16:47It's better.
16:48Or do you think it looks worse if I do that?
16:51I'll put that line on.
17:01New spectacles.
17:03Okay.
17:04Those are lovely.
17:09So, what was the story in Balamori today?
17:14Well...
17:16Archie came to the nursery this morning with a bag of ping pong balls
17:19to make a present for Ciaran after he'd taken him to the opticians.
17:24Archie made two spectacle boxes.
17:27One for Ciaran and one for Josie.
17:30He took Josie's box to her.
17:32But when she opened it, her sunglasses were missing.
17:35So he sent for PC Plum.
17:38PC Plum realised that Archie had put the sunglasses in Ciaran's box by mistake.
17:44Archie thought he might need his own eyes testing.
17:48So when Archie took Ciaran to the opticians,
17:51he got new lenses and Ciaran got some glasses.
17:59So it worked out well for everyone.
18:01We've all had a great time in Balamori today.
18:04I hope you have too.
18:09I'll put this away for another time.
18:14I'll see you soon.
18:15Bye!
18:17Bye!
18:26Balamori!
18:30Balamori!
18:31Who likes a story in Balamori?
18:33What would you like to know?
18:35Who likes a story in Balamori?
18:37What would you like to know?
18:45Balamori!
18:50What's a story in Balamori?
18:52Who would you like to know?
19:06What's a story in Balamori?
19:08Chels, we dream, we go!
