It's a wonderful sunny day on Big Barn Farm

and everyone is looking beautiful.

There's also excitement in the air.

Och! I'm so excited!

So am I!

-Are you?

-Oh yes!

I can't wait!

Calm down! You'll get over-excited and won't be ready in time.

Yes, there's excitement in the air!

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Because today is a very important day.

It's the day the older animals

go to be shown in the county show, to try to win a prize.

Everyone is getting trimmed, brushed and polished

as it's the biggest event of the year. Everybody will be there.

There's lots of talk about who they might see.

Who'll be there this year?

Will it be a famous racehorse, perhaps?

-Maybe a prize-winning bull?

-That's right, yeah.

Ha ha ha-ha! Hee hee hee!

Hey, there's Petal!

Nice mud bath, Petal?

A very refreshing mud bath.

Lovely day, isn't it? Off to see the rest of the Farmyard Bunch?

Yes, where are the others?

Digger is in the field, racing around excitedly.

And Gobo and Dash are on their way to the barn.

Hey, Petal, you're so muddy!

What are you wearing?

The mud thing is SO out of fashion.

QUACK QUACK QUACK!

Take it easy, duck girls. Don't make fun.

The duck girls tell Petal

that they keep nice and clean in their pond.

ready for the county show.

They tell Petal she's too mucky to go.

But I'm not going to the show anyway, I'm too young.

We're old enough.

Yeah, I know, but if I was old enough to go,

I'd go MUDDY!

QUACK QUACK QUACK!

Cos that's what pigs do.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, Petal, you're muddy!

I know, is there a problem with that?

-ALL: Oo-ooo!

-Don't worry.

The duck girls have been teasing Petal about being muddy.

Hey! What do those ducks know?

You look great, Petal.

Thanks.

Hmm, let's go and watch everyone getting ready for the county show.

Yay!

Go Farmyard Bunch!

Run along.

Go and find Madame.

-MOO!

-# La-la. #

-MOO!

-# La-la. #

-MOO!

-# La-la. #

# It's Madame, the cow! #

The Farmyard Bunch are impressed when they see Madame.

You look nice, Madame.

Merci.

That's French for "thank you".

Loving the bell.

Merci beaucoup.

That's French for "thank you very much".

It is my most beautiful bell. I wear it to the county show.

Lovely. I wonder how the Misses Chickens are looking.

CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK

Your feathers look nice, Misses Chickens.

Flattery will get you everywhere, Gobo.

Yes, feathers are wonderful, aren't they?

Glossy, colourful and waterproof.

Feathers?

Lovely to look at, but has anyone felt how smooth my coat is?

Yes, it's a very smooth coat, very glossy and silky.

It does look nice.

And I have a lovely toothy smile...

Eeeee!

That is a marvellous smile.

I wouldn't argue with that, he has got a nice smile.

Smiling is fine, but I am very proud of my lovely eyelashes.

Very pretty, Madame.

But Mack's legs. Oh, I wish I had his legs!

Long, long, long, long legs.

Oh! Thank you, Madame. Sometimes I think they're just too long.

May I say how fine you look too?

Ooh-la-la! You are so kind.

The Farmyard Bunch think

the older animals going to the show look great.

Silky coats, lovely eyelashes and glossy feathers.

Yes, I wonder what I'd look like with feathers.

THEY LAUGH

A pig with feathers! Feather pig! Ha ha ha!

Er...bird pig!

Er...pig...duck.

Er...not quite, Digger, but nice try.

Pigs might fly.

Yes, I might do that one day.

Anyway, let's go and see if my mum's ready.

Is Mrs Snuffles in the show?

Oh, yes. Mum used to be a prize-winner.

She won all the competitions when she was young.

She was SO beautiful.

Ah-choo! Ah-choo!

Are you OK, Mum?

Oh, no, dear. I've got a terrible cold.

Ah-choo!

But aren't you going to the show, Mrs Snuffles?

I was, dear, but not like this. Oh.

Oh, Mum! But you were the only pig going!

Ah-choo!

There'll be no pigs from Big Barn Farm at the show.

That's a bit of a disaster.

Hurry up, the truck for the show leaves in half an hour.

Ready, Mrs Snuffles?

Sorry, dear, I'm not coming. Ah-choo!

Ah-choo! Look at the state of me. Ah-choo!

Mrs Snuffles is full of cold. What should we do, Farmyard Bunch?

I've got an idea, and it just might work.

ALL: Huh?

Do you want to share it with everyone, Gobo?

Perhaps Petal should go to the show instead.

Oh! I'd love to go.

Oh, we'd be really proud.

Oh, yes, you're bound to win a prize! Ah-choo!

But you ARE a bit muddy.

So?

And all the other animals are very clean.

But muddy is great if you're a piglet!

Ooh-la-la! On y va! On y va!

That means they're ready to go to the show.

Good luck, Petal!

Hurry! The truck's ready to go, here it comes.

Weee! Hee hee hee! Hee hee hee!

A last-minute mud bath, eh, Petal?

Hee hee hee! Gotta go!

All the animals are ready for the show.

Mack, the horse, looks grand, doesn't he?

He's bound to win best horse in the show.

QUACK QUACK QUACK!

And the Duck Girls have scrubbed up well.

Look at those beaks, how shiny are they?

Ooh, and I say, look at the sheep! Their wool has come up a treat.

They'll be bringing back a winner's rosette, I'm sure.

Oh, and here's Madame.

She won the prize for most glamorous cow last year.

She'll probably win again, today.

Come on, Misses Chickens, show off those lovely feathers.

Ah, and here comes a rather muddy Petal.

Piglet Power!

Good luck, Petal.

The farm is very empty with everyone away at the county show.

Gobo, Dash and Digger are finding things to do to pass the time

before Petal gets back.

Hee-haw! Hee-haw!

Oh, hurry up, Petal! We want to know if you won a prize.

Later in the barn,

Gobo, Dash and Digger can't wait for the truck to get back.

They are wondering how Petal has got on at the county show.

All the other animals were shiny and smart.

She did look a bit of a muddy mess.

But she's still their favourite and they think she will win a prize.

Oh, yes, Petal's a winner.

Petal piglet power! Ha ha!

Well, she should be back any minute now.

Listen, is that the truck I can hear?

Ooh! It's the truck, it's the truck!

Let's go and see.

Gobo, Dash and Digger are very excited

waiting to see who's won a rosette.

I'm sure Mack will have won something.

And Madame, she looked lovely.

And the Misses Chickens with all those shiny feathers.

We're about to find out.

Here they come.

NEIGH!

Here's Mack the horse. He's wearing a red rosette. He's won a prize.

It looks like Madame has won as well.

And the ducks!

QUACK QUACK QUACK!

So have the sheep. Well done.

And the Misses Chickens.

All the animals on Big Barn Farm are winners!

But where's Petal?

They'd forgotten about Petal in all the excitement.

-Yay!

-Here she is!

Petal!

Well, she's still muddy, but Petal's won a gold rosette!

That's got to be good.

Gobo, Dash and Digger can't wait to find out what happened.

Tell us all about it.

It was brilliant. I saw the famous racehorse, Dancing...something.

Ooh!

Wow!

And a prize-winning bull.

No way!

But how did you win your prize?

Didn't the judges mind you were covered in mud?

Mud! Oh, they didn't mind that I was muddy.

Wow!

I got the prize because the judges thought

I looked like a very natural pig.

Well done, Petal!

Weee!

Hmm. I know where she's going.

Hee hee hee! Hee hee hee!

Ha ha! You can't beat a good mud bath!

Ha ha ha! Especially if you're a piglet!

Piglet Power!

That's all for now.

See you again soon, down on Big Barn Farm.
