0:00:40 > 0:00:44# Bob the builder - yes, we can! #
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Lofty, today we're building a hothouse
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- for keeping tropical plants.- Ooh!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00What are tropical plants, Bob?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Ones that usually grow in hot, wet places.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Like this one! HE LAUGHS
0:01:07 > 0:01:09A banana tree.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Mr Beasley and I are gonna be growing them.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14But is Sunflower Valley hot and wet enough?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Not quite, Lofty, but a hothouse will be.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Now, let's get this banana tree down.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25We'll keep it here during the build, nice and safe.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Where would you like to go? Somewhere sunny?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Will it take long to build the hothouse?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Oh, yes. A little while.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Then can I look after the banana tree until then?- Course!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Packer, let's get the other plants.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Right-o. Pack me up and watch me go-go.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I'm going to call you Mr Banana Tree.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53You can be my special friend.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Hello, Flex. I thought you'd be along.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Plants are my hobby, Farmer Pickles.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Wow! A Musa lolodensis. - Um...what, Flex?
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Musa lolodensis. That's this plant's proper name. All plants have one.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Cocos nucifera. Aspidistra umbrosa.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- I call him Mr Banana Tree. I'm looking after him.- Want any help?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- I know lots about plants.- Oh. Um...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Thanks, but I'll be OK.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29Oh, well, I'll leave it to you, then. But any problems - just ask.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Time to start the build, Lofty.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Build?- The hothouse. We've got to concentrate. It's a big job.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40OK, Bob. ..I'll be back as soon as I can.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50A hothouse full of tropical plants -
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- it'll be the horticultural highlight of Bobland Bay!- Oh-ho-ho, yes!
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- I love rare plants. Can't get enough of them.- Really?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04First we build the metal frame, Lofty.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Then there's the sprinkler system, then the glass panels. Ready?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- Yes, Bob. But do you need me right away?- Not till the concrete dries.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18OK. I'll be right back.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Hi, Lofty.- Hello, Sammy and Saffron.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Flex is telling us about flowers. - How's Musa lolodensis, Lofty?
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Mr Banana Tree? I'm going to see him. I've been busy with the build.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35You're looking after a tropical plant AND doing a build?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- It's all right. Really. - Does your plant need water, Lofty?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Water? Um...
0:03:41 > 0:03:46A Musa lolodensis needs lots of water. Lofty knows that!
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Yes, um...sort of. Sammy, can I borrow that watering can?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- OK. There's some water in it, too. - Thanks.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58There we are, Mr Banana Tree.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03You're wet and I've put you in the sun, so you're hot, too.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Bob to Lofty.- Lofty to Bob. Hello.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11- We're ready to build the frame. - On my way. ..Bye, Mr Banana Tree.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Mr Banana Tree's nice and wet. - And hot?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Yes. I put him in the sun. - But Lofty, the sun moves.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Those flowers were in the sun, but now they're in the shade.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29The shade?! Mr Banana Tree will get cold!
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- Shall I help?- No, thanks, Flex. I'll be there as soon as I can.
0:04:43 > 0:04:50Yes. I'll have a Lythrum salicaria and a Daphne tangutica...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Oh, I'll call you back.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Is this the last bit, Bob? - Whoa, careful!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59There. Well done, Lofty!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Lofty?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Flex was right! You're in the shade.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Sorry, Mr Banana Tree.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Bob to Lofty.- Oh! Lofty to Bob.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Time to put the sprinkler system in. - On my way.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17THEY SQUEAK
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I'll have four spotted begonias
0:05:20 > 0:05:24and a Crocus nudiflorus. ..Oh, I'll ring you back.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- A hothouse! That's amazing!- These pipes are for the sprinkler system.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- They'll love that.- I'm sorry! Er...sorry...sorry I'm late.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Can't I help with Musa lolodensis? This is a difficult build.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- You haven't got time...- No, no, no. Me and Mr Banana Tree are fine.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Squirrels!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Go away! - RADIO:- 'Bob to Lofty.'
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I'm on my way back, Bob.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Um...er...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Boo!
0:06:12 > 0:06:17More squirrels! They must have heard about Mr Banana Tree's bananas.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I must hurry!
0:06:19 > 0:06:25- There we are. The first glass panel. - Those will keep our plants warm.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Here I am! Time for the glass squirrels.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34- "Glass squirrels"?!- Oh, I mean panels. Is this the first one?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Where does it go?- Hang on. I haven't checked my plans.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Oh...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Oh, no! - SMASH!
0:06:42 > 0:06:48- Oh, no!- How can we finish it now? - We'll need to order more glass.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Oh, Bob, I'm sorry. Um...you'd better come with me.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, shoo!
0:06:56 > 0:07:02I thought I could help you AND look after Mr Banana Tree, but it's hard.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- The squirrels will see the bananas aren't ripe.- There's another problem.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09The hothouse won't be ready for ages.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- That banana tree will have to stay out after dark.- In the cold?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Musa lolodensis won't like that! - Not just Musa lolodensis, either.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- Here we go - mango trees, kiwi trees, papaya bushes...- Oh!
0:07:23 > 0:07:29- They've nowhere to go.- Don't worry, Lofty. But I don't understand.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Flex would have looked after the banana tree.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I wanted Mr Banana Tree to be my special friend.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40I thought if Flex looked after him, he'd be friends with him, instead.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Oh, Lofty! If you want to be a plant's friend,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- you should do what's best for it. - Oh, er...yes, Bob.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52That can mean getting another friend to help.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Another friend?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Here you are, Bob.- Thanks, Lofty.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02- Lofty to Flex. How are the plants? - Good. They have lots of water.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Are they hot enough? - Still a bit of sun left.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- And the squirrels? - They gave up on the bananas.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13We're keeping them off the mangos and kiwis, too.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Go on! Get away! - Oi! Get off there!- Go on!
0:08:23 > 0:08:27People will come from all over to see this -
0:08:27 > 0:08:30the Bobland Bay Jungle Experience!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33And not just a jungle experience, either.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Oh-ho-ho! MORE rare plants!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You said you couldn't get enough,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43so I ordered a few more that can be kept outside.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Visitors will not only see tropical plants in our hothouse.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51They'll walk among these plants outside
0:08:51 > 0:08:54in our botanical garden.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Oh, it's Musa lolo...
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- I mean, it's Mr Banana Tree! - Thanks for looking after him, Flex.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Thanks for letting me, Lofty. He's your special friend, after all.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Do you think he's trying to say something?
0:09:11 > 0:09:17- Maybe he's saying, "Thank you, Lofty."- Yes. And thank YOU Flex, too.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- It's not every day you make friends with a banana tree!- Ha-ha-ha! No.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28It's not every day you make friends with a banana tree expert, either!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30THEY LAUGH
