0:02:33 > 0:02:37I hope people remember. Someone already has.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40But I wonder who.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42"Happy Birthday!"

0:04:09 > 0:04:13I wonder who it can be. I'll just go and see.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Hi, there, Spencer! - Hi, Miss Hoolie! Hi, kids!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Hi, Spencer!
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- What's that you've got there? It's not a present, is it?- Present?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- No, it's a cardboard cut-out boat for the nursery wall.- Oh, I see...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I was wondering if I got the shape right.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- I thought you could advise me on the sails.- The shape looks OK.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- I just don't know that much about boats.- I wonder who does.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50How about PC Plum? He has a sail boat. Ask him for help.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- That's a good idea.- Is that it? - Yes, I think so.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01Nothing else? No surprises or cards you might want to leave behind?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I don't...
0:05:03 > 0:05:04No.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, I'll see you later, then.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- See you later, Miss Hoolie. Bye! - Bye.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Oh...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Spencer forgot my birthday.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Oh, well, never mind.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Which coloured house will he visit first today?
0:05:28 > 0:05:34# Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37# This part of the story in Balamory
0:05:37 > 0:05:39# Asks "Which house is for me?"
0:05:39 > 0:05:46# Is it green? Is it red? Or should I go to the white house instead?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51# Yellow, pink, orange or blue? Which coloured house am I going to?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54# Green house, red house
0:05:54 > 0:05:57# Orange or pink?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59# Yellow house, blue or white
0:05:59 > 0:06:02# Tell me, what do you think?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13# Which coloured house are we going to? What do you think?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17# Which house are we going to?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20# Tell me - what do you think? #
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It's the white house!
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Yes, it's the white house because that's where PC Plum lives.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Oh, hello, Spencer!- Hi, PC Plum. I'm glad you're in. I need your help.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- Oh, what's the problem?- I'm making a cardboard boat for the nursery
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and I wondered if you could tell me
0:06:45 > 0:06:49how many sails should a sail boat have?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- That depends on what kind of sail boat.- What kind?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Well, is it a clipper or a pirate ship?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, a pirate ship! That'd be great!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I've got a book about pirate ships.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Here it is.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06There we go.
0:07:06 > 0:07:12That's perfect! There's one, two, three, four, five, six sails!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- I love pirate ships.- Me too.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19The nursery wall will look fantastic with a pirate ship.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- This will put a smile back on Miss Hoolie's face.- Is she not happy?
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Well, let's just say she wasn't her normal cheery self this morning.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Oh, you'd think she would be happy. It IS her birthday.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Oh, no! I forgot Miss Hoolie's birthday!
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- How could I make it up to her? - Well...you could give her a party.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- A party?- Yes! A pirate party! Use the pirate ship as a decoration!
0:07:49 > 0:07:54That's fantastic! We can do lots of party games
0:07:54 > 0:07:59and wear costumes - pirate hats and flags... Wait a minute...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01That's a lot of work.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Yes, we'll need help to get it ready for this afternoon.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- The ship's almost done.- I'll go to Pocket and Sweets for cakes.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16- That leaves the pirate costumes. I don't know where to start.- Nor I.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Who in Balamory can rustle up some pirate hats?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Or a parrot!- Or a pirate flag!
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Archie!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35# I'm Archie, the inventor
0:08:35 > 0:08:38# I know how things are done

0:10:02 > 0:10:07Hi, Archie! I hope you're not busy! I really need your help.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13Oh, no, not at all! Come on in. So, what's the story in Balamory?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well, it all started this morning...
0:10:20 > 0:10:25I went to the nursery to show Miss Hoolie the boat I was making.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I wanted her advice on how many sails it should have,
0:10:29 > 0:10:34but she seemed fed-up and suggested I go see PC Plum instead.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37As usual, PC Plum was a great help.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41He thought I should make a pirate ship and showed me a book
0:10:41 > 0:10:44full of fantastic pirate pictures.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Then he explained why Miss Hoolie might be fed-up. It's her birthday.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I forgot all about it. PC Plum suggested we cheer her up
0:10:53 > 0:10:59with a surprise pirate party! But we need to do it this afternoon.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I was wondering what to do for Miss Hoolie's birthday.- Great!
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- We'll make it the best pirate party ever!- What do you want me to do?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Costumes.- Costumes? Well, let's look in my "make do" box.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Oh, look. This could be a pirate headscarf.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- Arr...- Fantastic. Do you have any pirate hats in there?
0:11:27 > 0:11:33- No, but I could make some. Using this.- Black paper?- I'll show you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37All you have to do...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Fold it over like this.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Cut the shape here and I'll have two of them.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56There we go.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00The front and the back. Get some Blu-Tack.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03A bit here...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08And a bit here...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10There we go, you see.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14All it needs now is a skull and crossbone.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I can do that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- There we are.- Great. Something I can do!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'll make another one of these.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- There!- One finished pirate's hat!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41What do you think?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Arr...
0:12:43 > 0:12:48I guess we could make the pirate flags for the top of the ship
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- out of this black paper as well! - Yes, we could.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Arr, captain! What do you say we finish up here
0:12:56 > 0:13:02- and then we go get PC Plum and get this party started?!- Arr...- Arr...
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- Hi, Spencer!- Hi, Miss Hoolie! I'm ready to put the boat on the wall.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Great. I can't wait to see what it looks like.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28You have to close your eyes, Miss Hoolie.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Oh, all right... Why?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Well, it's a surprise.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38A surprise? I love surprises! Well, will I sit down?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40OK.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07GIGGLING
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I can hear giggling!
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Can I open them up yet?- No, not yet. Just keep those eyes shut.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40That feels elastic...
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Oh...
0:14:49 > 0:14:53OK, Miss Hoolie. Open your eyes!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Surprise!

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Hey! Blow out your candles!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Yeah!
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Thank you! You did remember my birthday after all!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33PIRATE MUSIC
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Who can dance like a pirate?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Hey!
0:15:45 > 0:15:51Thank you so much for today. This is the best pirate party ever.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00So, what was the story in Balamory today?
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Well, today was a special day because it's my birthday.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I arrived at the nursery this morning
0:16:09 > 0:16:12to find a birthday card from PC Plum.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Spencer popped in to show me the cut-out boat for the nursery wall.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22He wanted some tips on the size and shape of the sails for his boat.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25He'd obviously forgotten it was my birthday.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30I tried not to look too hurt and suggested he see PC Plum instead,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32who's mad about sailing.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36PC Plum thought Spencer could make a pirate ship
0:16:36 > 0:16:40and showed him a picture book to get ideas.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Then PC Plum explained why I seemed a little fed-up. It's my birthday.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Spencer had forgotten all about it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52So they decided to throw a party to cheer me up - a pirate party!
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Archie agreed to help, and he and Spencer set to work
0:16:57 > 0:17:01making pirate costumes, scarves and hats.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Later, Spencer returned to the nursery with his finished ship
0:17:06 > 0:17:10and told me to close my eyes for a surprise.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16When I opened them, I saw the fantastic pirate ship he'd made.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21There was Archie and PC Plum AND the children dressed as pirates!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24They all wished me a happy birthday
0:17:24 > 0:17:27and we had a fabulous pirate party!
0:17:29 > 0:17:34They HAD remembered my birthday after all!
0:17:34 > 0:17:38And do you know what? It was the best birthday surprise ever!
0:17:42 > 0:17:47I'll take home my lovely card. See you next time. Bye!
