S1, Ep 2: Wilmot and Chips. It's National Needy week and the school is preparing to do it's bit to raise money for charity by organizing a Sponsored Shove race. Wilmot and his friend Martin are determined to win that race - not least because their hated girl rivals Amber Watts and Silent Edith are also competing. Unfortunately they need transport in order to enter the race, but luckily they discover a brass bed in the garage that brother Terry is attending to. Terry offers to help them in the race, but little do they know he has other plans for the bed. And the stakes are raised even higher when Amber sets Wilmot a challenge - whoever wins the race gets the other's charity money!
Starring Christian Cooke, Stefan Podolczuk, Heston Aniteye, Katie Ferguson, Katie Hodgson, Carole Copeland, Stefan Escreet, Alan Rothwell, Andrea Davy and Will Haigh. This is a random episode of the children's TV series Wilmot from 1999, which ran for two series until it was cancelled in 2000. A popular, but now seemingly forgotten kids show, it was created by Alex Shearer and was the screen debut for former child star Christian Cooke as Wilmot Tanner, who has since carved a name in his adult career in such things as Cemetery Junction (2010) and The Promise (2011). Katie Ferguson (who plays Wilmot's rival Amber Watts) later appeared in Girls in Love (2003) and No Angels (2004), while nosey neighbour Mr Ronson (Alan Rothwell) will be recognizable for fans of soaps Coronation Street and Brookside, and from kids fare Picture Box and Hickory House (1973-77). This particular episode was originally broadcast on May 12th 1999 and one I vaguely remember as a teenager. It's a enjoyable episode as well, with some toilet humour (you'll know what I mean when you see it), as Wilmot and Martin take on the formidable girl duo of Amber and Silent Edith in a race. And it's a notably rare episode for a number of reasons, not least because for once Silent Edith actually speaks!
This is from someone's video recording that I was fortunate to save from Youtube. I often do now when old stuff appears online to save to my USB sticks just in case they disappear. And it's fortunate that I saved this as since then this episode has disappeared on Youtube. Astonishingly it is the ONLY episode that so far exists online of this children's series, which ran for only 13 episodes, which is why I have decided to upload it here so at least this isn't lost. I can't even recall the original uploader, but if he or she hadn't done so there would be no episodes at all that exist of this series. Sadly it pixelates at 1:40 into the episode for about 40 seconds, but I've checked the rest of the episode and it plays fine, so I can only presume that it was like that when it was originally uploaded on Youtube. I only have the one episode, so if I ever find any more I'll upload them on here, as this episode is rare in itself.

00:02And now the top ten of everything is on tomorrow afternoon.
00:04And now it's time to go over to Ben and Vanessa to see what's on the show. Hello!
00:08This week's show is definitely not for the faint-hearted as we investigate the top ten most edible bugs.
00:14And Ben, you're going to be eating them.
00:15Yummy! We go football crazy, football mad with the lovely Gabba Yorath to find out her top ten most exciting
00:20players in the Champions League.
00:22And things get a little bit sticky in LA as we take a look at the La Brère Tar Pits.
00:27So that's the top ten of everything, 20 to 5, right here on CITV. We'll see you then.
00:32Cheers, guys. We'll see you tomorrow afternoon.
00:34But right now it's time for our pick of the day. It is, of course, Wilmot!
00:42Wilmot!
01:05Another reason why we should help people is because bad luck can happen to anyone.
01:09Happened to us when she moved in next door.
01:12And we could all need charity ourselves one day.
01:14Or maybe even a brain transplant.
01:16Thank you very much.
01:18Thank you, Amber.
01:20Well, it's very encouraging that you're all aware of needy week.
01:25Now, has everyone got a partner for the sponsored shove this weekend?
01:29Yes.
01:30Good.
01:31Now remember, one of you must push the other round the course in whatever form of transport you choose.
01:37And there'll be a special award for the pair who show the greatest originality.
01:41But remember, charity is its own reward.
01:44Prizes don't last forever.
01:46But good works will never die.
01:48Never die.
01:49Never die.
02:02It's amazing how the pigeons never perch on St. Wilmot.
02:06Yeah.
02:07They only ever seem to go to the other statue.
02:21Hello, Dad.
02:22What are you doing?
02:22Oh, hi, Terry.
02:23Just making some room in the garage.
02:25What's this?
02:27It's the old brass bed.
02:28Thought I'd throw it out.
02:29Well, won't it be worth something?
02:31Maybe.
02:32Have you polished it up and restored it?
02:34But I haven't got the time.
02:35I'll just let the bin men make a few bob out of it.
02:37Could I have it?
02:38I suppose so.
02:39But you'd better check with Wilmot first that he doesn't want to share.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Right you are, Dad.
02:45Oh.
02:46National Needy Week, eh, Wilmot?
02:48Is that so?
02:48Yes, Mr. Orson.
02:49For the poor and unfortunate.
02:51And I'm going to raise as much money as I can.
02:53Well, I'll try and do something myself, then.
02:55It's only right that those of us with talents should use them for the good of others.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Perhaps you could get sponsored to tell long, boring stories, Mr. Orson.
03:03Yes.
03:04Eh?
03:05Anyway, must press on.
03:06And by the way, I like your help that need a red nose.
03:09Very funny.
03:10Got to get one of those.
03:11Red nose?
03:13Well, red nose.
03:18Right, Martin.
03:19What are we going to use for this sponsored shove?
03:21Let's have a look.
03:22Ah, Wilmot.
03:23Shove off, sorry.
03:24We're busy.
03:26How about this cart, Wilmot?
03:28Nah, it's not good, Martin.
03:29The string's a-brook and no one knows how to fix it.
03:32Right, Wilmot, listen.
03:33Dad's throwing this rotten old bed out.
03:35Right useless piece of junk it is.
03:37So I thought maybe I could take it over and restore it.
03:40That's okay with you.
03:41Do what you want, Terry.
03:42I don't want it.
03:43I'm far too busy fundraising to bother with a monkey old bed.
03:46I've got that on tape and Martin's a witness.
03:48See you around.
03:49Here you go, Wilmot.
03:51How about this wheelbarrow?
04:00There, sit in it and we'll give it a go.
04:05Got a cushion.
04:06It's a bit hard.
04:07Come on, Martin, don't be a wuss.
04:09All mill by the stream, Nellie Dean, sweet Nellie Dean.
04:16Hello, Wilmot.
04:17Guess what I've decided to do for needy week.
04:20Are you off downtown shopping center, Mr. Ronson, to scare the pigeons?
04:23No.
04:24I'm going as a one-man band.
04:26Busking for charity.
04:27I just thought I'd get a bit of practising.
04:30Where we used to sit and dream.
04:33Come on.
04:40How are we doing, Wilmot?
04:42I can't do this for 20 miles.
04:45Careful.
04:45You're ticking me out.
04:47Sorry.
04:49Do you know, Edith, that two boys together are three times as stupid as one boy on his own?
04:54Shove off, Amber.
04:55Are you really going to do the sponsored shove in a wheelbarrow?
04:58How totally unoriginal.
04:59Me and Edith have had a fantastic idea.
05:01What's that?
05:02You're going to carry her around on your broomstick?
05:04Listen, Wilmot, Tanna.
05:05Sticks and stones may break my bones, but harsh words will get you a smack in the gob.
05:09You don't scare us.
05:10Does she mind?
05:11No.
05:15Come on.
05:16We're not going to be beaten by them.
05:18They're only girls.
05:19Yeah, they haven't even stopped evolving yet.
05:20Some of them haven't even started.
05:23Hello.
05:24Is that Eid Vale Antiques?
05:26Right.
05:26Well, listen.
05:27I've got a brass bed here.
05:29Yeah, in good condition.
05:31Would you be...
05:32You would?
05:34I'd have to deliver it to Eid Vale.
05:37Right.
05:38I'll get it round as soon as I can.
05:42Show your mum what, mine, Martin.
05:44Well, it is for charity.
05:46Okay.
05:46So who's going to be in it and who's going to push?
05:48I know.
05:50Heads or tails?
05:51Okay.
05:51Heads are pushed.
05:52Tails, you, Kel.
05:55Heads it is, Martin.
05:56Looks like you're in it.
05:58Best out of three.
06:00Actually, Martin.
06:01It might be best if we had a bit of a gimmick.
06:03Oh, yeah.
06:04What sort of gimmick would that be, Wilmot?
06:09Help the needy, sponsors wanted.
06:11All proceeds to charity.
06:13Thank you very much, madam.
06:15That's very kind.
06:15We'll collect it when we've done.
06:17Help the needy, sponsors wanted.
06:19All in a good cause.
06:20Wilmot.
06:21Wilmot.
06:22This is embarrassing.
06:24Don't worry.
06:25Just keep gurgling.
06:26I think it's cute.
06:27Help the needy, sponsors wanted.
06:30I'm going to need wee-wees soon, Wilmot.
06:33You've got your nappy.
06:34It might be big jobs.
06:36I don't think I'm going to change you.
06:38That baby's too big, Wilmot.
06:40You want to cut down on his bottles, or he'll get wind.
06:43Oh, my old man's a dustman.
06:45Hey, where's the dustman at?
06:47Hello.
06:48Stan with a van?
06:49Oh, sorry.
06:51Chuck with a truck.
06:53Well, listen.
06:54How much to deliver?
06:55A brass bed about 20 miles.
06:58How much?
07:00In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone.
07:13Wilmot, Wilmot.
07:15Look what's coming.
07:16And he wheeled a wheelbarrow.
07:19Shove off, Andy.
07:20We were here first.
07:21We were here next, so shove off yourself.
07:24Aw, look, Edith, what an ugly baby.
07:27Watch it, Amber, or I'll make this rattle over your head.
07:29Yeah, don't call my baby ugly.
07:31At least he's sitting there going to the toilet in public.
07:33I wouldn't bank on that, Wilmot.
07:35We don't want to be near you anyway.
07:37Go on, Edith, give him a flush.
07:43That's what we think of you.
07:47Girls, eh, mine?
07:48Yeah, they're so immature.
07:51Hello, King's Arms.
07:53Listen, you know your famous tug-of-war team?
07:55Would they like to build the muscles by dragging a bed 20 miles across...
08:00Uh, hello?
08:02Hello?
08:04Sponsors!
08:05Sponsors, please!
08:07Oh, one's for charity!
08:09Thank you very much, Charles.
08:11Very kind, I'll collect it when I'm for you.
08:12Sponsors!
08:13Every penny goes to charity.
08:14Hey, Edith.
08:15Have you tried putting a bit of bleach down it?
08:17That might help.
08:19Good one, eh, Martin?
08:21Help the needy!
08:22Sponsors wanted!
08:24Help the needy!
08:25All proceeds to charity!
08:27Help the needy!
08:28Yes, ma'am.
08:29Would you like to sponsor us in next Saturday's big charity push?
08:32Well, I might do, Wilmot.
08:33But first, I'd like to know what Martin's doing in his sister's prom.
08:37Oh, hello, Mum.
08:38Just having a bit of a rest.
08:42Let's look in the garage.
08:43There's got to be some.
08:44What do you want, Wilmot?
08:45Well, Martin's mum won't let us borrow the prom, so we've got to find something else.
08:50Here you are, mine.
08:50How about this old golf bag?
08:52You reckon you'd fit in here?
08:53Hey, Wilmot.
08:54There's sponsored chub on Saturday.
08:56Which way does it go?
08:57Along by the canal and out towards Eadville.
08:59Eadville, eh?
09:05Tell you what, Wilmot.
09:06I'll let you borrow my bed for the race.
09:08Car, would you, Terry?
09:10Thanks.
09:10You're a real mate.
09:11All I ask, Wilmot, is the chance to help others.
09:15Thing is, though, Terry, it's going to be heavy, this bed.
09:17Me and Martin will both have to push it.
09:19Yeah, and the rules say you've got to have someone in it.
09:22Seeing it's you two, I might be able to help you out on that as well.
09:25I've just got to make a phone call.
09:28We'll never do it with those little wheels on there, Wilmot.
09:30I know.
09:31I'm going to have to find some bigger ones.
09:33And about, Martin.
09:34My dad's got some holes here.
09:37Yeah, they'll do.
09:38Let's get them on.
09:41Hello?
09:42Eadville Antiques?
09:44It's me again.
09:45The brass bed.
09:47I'll bring it on Saturday.
09:49Yeah, sometime in the afternoon.
09:51150 quid, we said, did we?
09:54OK.
09:54See you then.
09:57Singing, aye, aye, yippy, yippy, aye.
09:59Thank you, love.
10:00Singing, aye, aye, yippy, yippy, aye.
10:03Oh, thanks for real singing, aye, aye.
10:06Aye, aye, yippy, aye, yippy, aye, yippy, aye, yippy, aye.
10:12Very good, lads.
10:13Good, this one.
10:14Welcome to go.
10:15Hey, Eadis.
10:16Do you think you were gone before you left home?
10:17Bout up, Wilmot, Tamar, and I'll punch your lights out.
10:20Eadis, you spoke.
10:21I thought you were talking for me.
10:23That's right, I do.
10:24But I'm on a sponsored speak for a day for charity.
10:26And as I am talking, I may as well tell you what a load of losers you are.
10:30Well, I bet we do more miles than them.
10:32And I bet we raise more money for charity.
10:33And get back first as well.
10:35Right, you're on.
10:36First one back gets all the money to give to charity.
10:39How's that?
10:39Hang on, we're starting, I think.
10:42Hey, you jumped the gun.
10:44Come on, Martin, after him.
11:03Come on, Martin, keep it steady.
11:14We'll overtake them first chance we get.
11:16OK, Wilmot.
11:31Can one of us have a turn in the bed now, Terry?
11:34One of us had a snooze, Wilmot, in a while.
11:37Hey, look, they've stopped.
11:39Come on.
11:41So I says, well, it's a small world, isn't it?
11:43Every cloud has a silver lining, and it wouldn't do if we were all the same.
11:47You have to look on the bright side.
11:48We know what you're doing.
11:50We know what you're doing.
11:51We know what you're doing.
11:53Edie.
11:54Come on.
11:55Sorry.
11:56Come on, hurry up.
11:58Right, come on.
12:03Are we coming?
12:11Checkpoint, Wilmot.
12:12You need to get the card stamped.
12:14Well done, lads.
12:15You're doing brilliant.
12:21What she said, who said that I said something different, when I never said anything at all.
12:24So she said, well, if you're going to say that, then I've got nothing to say.
12:28You're all right, Andy.
12:28You're not saying very much.
12:30Anyway, where are we going?
12:31Oh, yeah.
12:31Well, she said to her what he said to me.
12:34Well, she said to her that.
12:35Well done, girls.
12:43Terry, we're knackered.
12:44Not now, Wilmot.
12:45I'm navigating.
12:46It's right here.
12:48But everyone else is going straight on.
12:50Thought we could take a detour into Eidvale.
12:52There's probably a cafe there.
12:54You two can get some refreshments.
12:55Yeah, we'll need to keep our strength up, Wilmot, if we're going to stay at the course.
12:59And you could get someone to sign your card,
13:00to prove you've done the extra distance.
13:02Okay.
13:03But we'd better still be here to the number.
13:04Yeah, we will.
13:05This way.
13:15We're catching up on years and years having missed out lately.
13:18Of course, if it weren't for charity, I couldn't possibly do it.
13:20I'm not shy.
13:21But we all have our problems, don't we?
13:23We certainly do.
13:32There you go, Wilmot.
13:33Cheers, sir.
13:34Hang on.
13:37Hello.
13:38Oh, hello.
13:40Get up in a hurry, did you?
13:42Oh, no.
13:43I'd just like to relax at weekends.
13:46I've come about the brass bed.
13:47Oh, yes.
13:48Yes.
13:49Well, there it is.
13:52Oh, don't want that.
13:54What?
13:55Oh, look at it.
13:56Looks like it's been through a field.
13:58Who stuck them big wheels on it?
14:00Well, you can easily change them.
14:02It'll clean up.
14:03No, sorry, mate.
14:04Not for me.
14:06But I've brought it miles.
14:09Oh, hang on.
14:11I know someone might buy it off you.
14:14Yeah, you rang up yesterday looking for one.
14:17Er, oh, yes, a Mr. Ronson it was.
14:20Mr. Ronson?
14:22He wasn't a bit of a boring bloke, was he?
14:24No, no, he wasn't a bit of a boring bloke.
14:26He was a completely boring bloke.
14:29I can give you the address.
14:30No, it's all right.
14:31I think I know it.
14:32Please yourself.
14:35Hey, Terry.
14:37Oh, hi, Wilmot.
14:38Martin.
14:39Breran to get back.
14:40Yeah, only we've got a bit of a problem.
14:42Martin's got this bad blister on his heel.
14:44All the skin's rubbed off.
14:45We've got to get the bed back, Wilmot.
14:46We can't leave it here.
14:48No, of course not.
14:49But I can't push it on my own, can I?
14:58Hey, it's comfy in this bed, isn't it, Terry?
15:01Can I have some of your crisps?
15:02Oh, help yourself.
15:03Eat my crisps.
15:04Watch my telly.
15:05Don't mind me.
15:06I don't know why you're moaning, Terry.
15:08I'll be the only one that's pushed it both ways.
15:10Ah!
15:11Ah, my ankle!
15:13What is it, Wilmot?
15:14What's up?
15:14It's my ankle.
15:15I've twisted it.
15:16Ah, I can't walk.
15:18It's all right, Wilmot.
15:19Do you need a crisp?
15:20Ah, it's agony, Terry.
15:22Ah, what am I going to do?
15:24I can't walk another step.
15:31Speed it up, Terry.
15:32I want to get back before Amber and Eden.
15:33What about them?
15:35Well, there's two of you and there's only one of me, you know.
15:38You all right there, Martin?
15:39Did you want to change in?
15:41No, I'm fine, thanks.
15:42I prefer it with my back to the engine.
15:47I wonder how Terry and Wilmot are getting on.
15:49I hope they're all right.
15:51Yeah, they'll be fine.
15:52It's all supervised.
15:53They should be crossing the finish line any time now.
16:11Come on, Terry.
16:12Come and get all our money to give to charity.
16:15I'm doing my best, Wilmot, for crying out loud.
16:18Hang on, I'll get out and help you.
16:19Have you got ten pence for a cup of tea, lads?
16:22Clear off.
16:23Yeah, we're doing stuff for charity.
16:24Come on, Wilmot.
16:25We've got beds to sell.
16:27Just a minute.
16:28Just a flipping minute, Terry.
16:30Wilmot, we're going to lose.
16:31And Mr Ronson's going.
16:34Martin, Terry, are we forgetting something?
16:36Are we forgetting why we're doing this?
16:38Well, I'm not.
16:39Mr Ronson, wait!
16:41I think we are, Martin.
16:44There you go, mate.
16:46There's 20p.
16:47Go get yourself two teas.
16:48God, thanks, lads.
16:49That's really kind of you.
16:51Cheers.
16:52God, is that a little TV?
16:54That's neat, isn't it?
16:56You wouldn't be so lonely at night with one of them.
17:04There you go.
17:05God!
17:06Thanks a lot, mate.
17:08Ciao.
17:27Hello, Mr Ronson.
17:29Had a good day?
17:30Oh, yes.
17:31Look, I'm filling up my bucket with change, Terry.
17:34How was the sponsorship?
17:36Er, great.
17:37Oh, God.
17:39Er, actually, Mr Ronson, I hear you might be interested in a brass bed.
17:43That's right, I was.
17:45But on second thoughts, I thought I'd spend the money on music lessons instead.
17:50Still, thanks for thinking of me.
17:52Cheerio.
17:54What do you mean, not officially?
17:56You never got your card stamped, did you?
17:58At the halfway.
17:59I'll have to put you down as coming in last.
18:02You do that and I'll never speak to you again.
18:04Do it, please.
18:06Do it quick.
18:11Well done, lads.
18:12Well done.
18:13You're the winners.
18:15Yes.
18:17Yes.
18:26Something wrong, Terry?
18:28No, Wilmot.
18:29Everything's absolutely fantastic.
18:33Where's my telly?
18:36All that way for nothing, Wilmot.
18:38Then you give my TV away, just because some bloke happens to be homeless.
18:42Well, what about me?
18:43I'm telly-less now.
18:46Wilmot.
18:47Martin.
18:48Following numerous complaints, police tracked down the offender and made an arrest early this evening.
18:54A spokesman said that noise pollution is as big a problem...
18:57They're not back by the time the news has finished.
18:59I'm ringing the police.
19:00I'm sure they'll be all right, love.
19:01Just give them a bit longer.
19:02It's a movie day, another great charitable success, but who does the money actually help?
19:07Well, incredibly, even today there are many cases which just seem to slip through the net,
19:12as our reporter discovered not two miles from this very studio.
19:17Thank you, Nicola.
19:18Who would believe in this day and age that three young children could be abandoned to spend the night in
19:25the park on an old brass bed?
19:27I mean, what kind of heartless parents do these poor children have?
19:38Harry.
19:39What?
19:40Why are we all in the same bed? Are we on a sleepover?
19:43No, you're dreaming. Go back to sleep.
19:47Come on, then.
19:49Night, Wilmot. See you in the morning.
19:56Wilmot!
20:02Aw, I think Wilmot is so cute. He's back same time next week.
20:05And I've got an email here from Dolly.
20:06It says, hey there, CITV, my favourite programme is Wilmot, and I was wondering if you could give me some
20:11more information on Terry,
20:12because I think he's brilliant.
20:14Well, Terry, well, the actor who plays Terry, will be in the studio to answer your questions next Thursday,
20:18and that's where you can find out all the information.
20:20And all of this lovely lot, well, this is coming up tomorrow.
20:24Coming up, it's time for a change, but Bernard has to repair the damage that's in Bernard's watch.
20:29We've got a tale of runners in Pokemon tomorrow afternoon.
20:33And we'll be joining Ben and Vanessa for more fantastic facts in the top ten of everything.
20:38Now, our funny question earlier on was, who got into a sticky mess in a garden centre in today's Zap,
20:42and the answer was Cuthbert Lily.
20:44I've got the winner right here. It's William Tate. He's Wilmot. Congratulations to you, William.
20:48Yeah, well, and to you. We'll see you tomorrow at 20 past three.
20:50We certainly will. Bye-bye.
20:54We'll see you tomorrow.
