0:00:02 > 0:00:03THEY GIGGLE
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Charlie!
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Lola?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Charlie!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Oh! Oh!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38LOLA HUMS
0:00:39 > 0:00:44I have this little sister Lola. She's small and very funny.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Oh!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48LOLA CONTINUES HUMMING
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hellooo! Hellooo! Hellooo, Charlie!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Not right now, Lola.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It's a pea!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Oh, that's really good.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- What are you reading? - It's a book about inventions.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Hmm. - DOORBELL RINGS
0:01:05 > 0:01:09That's Marv. We have to invent something for our school project.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Oh. - Hi, Marv. >
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Oh, that one's good.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Maybe not.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18What if we invent a...a... Nah!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- What?- No, I don't think it'll work.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Look at my picture of Sizzles.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26That's nice.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Oh, I know!- What?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32How about a kind of outdoor kind of invention, for outdoors?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Hmm.- What is an invention?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41It's something that you think up and it helps people to do things better.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Or faster or easier. Like the telephone.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47But we already have a telephone.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I know! But before, a very long time ago,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53people didn't have telephones.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00But how'd I telephone Lotta to tell her about my picture of Sizzles?
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- You'd have to go round to her house. - But it's a very, very, VERY long way
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- to Lotta's! - SHE PANTS
0:02:08 > 0:02:09By walking.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12SHE CONTINUES PANTING
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Ha!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I will have to get Mum to take me in the car.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Lola, cars weren't invented either.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22You'd have to go by horse.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Oh!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- CLIP CLOP! - Whoa!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Lotta, do you want to see my picture?- Yes, please.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- LOTTA GIGGLES - It's Sizzles!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41THEY BOTH GIGGLE
0:02:41 > 0:02:45But the telephone is so much more easier and straight away.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- That's cos it's a very good invention.- I'm going to phone Lotta
0:02:49 > 0:02:54and tell her a very long time ago they didn't have telephones.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Or fridges. Or light bulbs. Or televisions...or bicycles.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00No bicycles?!
0:03:00 > 0:03:05They're all brilliant inventions, invented by really clever inventors.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10And now we've got to think of a new invention before tomorrow!
0:03:10 > 0:03:15No fridges?! So how will my pink milk stay nice and cold?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Marv, we can use this to draw our inventions.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- That's good.- Hmm...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Whoops!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30There!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Hmm...- Hmm...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I want to be an inventor, Charlie.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40I want to invent something all of my own, which is an invention.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44But, Lola, it's not easy to invent something that's very clever.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46And that people really need.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I can! I CAN invent something. You'll see.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Hmm?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Hmm, something that people really, really need...
0:03:58 > 0:03:59No, that's no good.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Huh! It's got to be a useful invention.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Something useful.- Hmm...
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I know! How about a machine that can take Sizzles for a walk
0:04:10 > 0:04:13when it's too rainy to go outside?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Oh, yes!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Woof! Woof!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Good boy, Sizzles.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Ha ha!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And because the bicycle has training wheels,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30it doesn't actually go anywhere.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Sizzle's legs are tiny.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Oh! And he'd never be able to pedal, of course!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Because his paws will never reach.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41His legs are tiny!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44SIZZLES WHIMPERS
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- It would be a good invention if he could, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- But he can't!- Ah...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Oh...- OK, OK. I'll come up with something else.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Yes. Something we can actually make. - Charlie?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- OK, what about, er...- Charlie?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02..a hat that hovers? A hover hat!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Charlie?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08You know sometimes when you wear a hat, your hair goes flat?
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Well if we invented a way for a hat to float just above your head
0:05:13 > 0:05:14like this,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17your hair would never go flat ever again.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19THEY LAUGH
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Charlie?- And...and...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25you can tie it on with ear flaps, under the chin!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26THEY LAUGH
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Charlie?!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- What is it?- I am an actual inventor.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Really, Lola? What have you invented?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38This!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- BOTH:- Hmm?- What's that?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43It's a two-colour colouring-in crayon
0:05:43 > 0:05:46for when you want to draw using green or blue. See?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48You can use green AND blue.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50What if you want to use red?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Er...
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oh! Ooh.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Well, I've got lots more ideas than this anyway.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04OK, what can we invent that can really work
0:06:04 > 0:06:06AND be very clever?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Oh, I don't know, but we need a good idea, quickish.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Hmm...it is quite tricky.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Because all the good inventions have been done.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Hey, I've got it!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- The amazing apple picker-upperer! - Huh?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29You know, an apple picker-upper thingumabob
0:06:29 > 0:06:33to pick up apples when they've fallen out of a tree?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- What does it look like?- Well, it's made out of two bicycles...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40which you and I...
0:06:40 > 0:06:43pedal really fast.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46But the really clever thing is, attached to the bicycles
0:06:46 > 0:06:48is a vacuum cleaner!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Which sucks up all the apples
0:06:54 > 0:06:58and then shoots them all the way into the wheelbarrow.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59I think it will work.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Come on, Charlie, faster!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Wheee!
0:07:06 > 0:07:07There!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Mum says we can't use the vacuum cleaner.- Oh no!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That was our best idea!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Now what are we going to do?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Sticky! Oooh!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Charlie, can you help me?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I can't find the sticky edge.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28Oooh! You and Marv must have thought of lots of and lots of inventions.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Well, yes...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32and no.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Are they very, very clever things? - Hmm.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39And are they things that people really, really need?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42CHARLIE SIGHS
0:07:42 > 0:07:44We haven't got an invention.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47No, we haven't got an invention at all.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh dear!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Maybe you're not inventors then.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56But we have to be! All our class are inventing something
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- and we have to bring our invention in tomorrow.- What will we do?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- We can't give up! - THEY BOTH SIGH
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Let's go and ask my mother if she's got any invention ideas.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Hmm...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh! Get off!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Oh! Get off!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Oh. Ooh!
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Oooh!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36LOLA LAUGHS
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh! Mum wasn't much help.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40And Dad wasn't either.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44You'd think one of them would be able to come up with
0:08:44 > 0:08:46a good, clever and useful invention.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51THEY BOTH SIGH
0:08:51 > 0:08:52- LOLA GIGGLES - Look at me!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Hello, Lola.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Charlie? Look at me!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59LOLA SINGS
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm all covered in mess!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Yes. Thanks for picking it all up, Lola.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08No, Charlie. Look at me, I'm an inventor!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Oh!- I am!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12See? All the things are now ON me!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Hmm.- So now everything isn't in a mess!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21It is all tidy!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- LAUGHS:- These are my pocket hidies.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29And a crayon holderer for all of the colours.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And clips - lots and lots of clips!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Look!- Lola, that is brilliant! - Amazing!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Is it?- BOTH:- Yes! It is!
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Hmm.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Can we borrow it for our project?- Oh!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48But will people really, really need it?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Yes! Yes, they will!- WE do! We really, REALLY need it!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Hmm... OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Thanks, Lola.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58THEY LAUGH
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- So, am I really, completely an inventor?- You are.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- You are an actual fact inventor, Lola.- And what have I invented?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10You have invented an invention to tidy up mess.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Thanks, Lola.- What shall we call it? - Er...
0:10:14 > 0:10:19A very cleverish and extremely usefullish
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- messy dress tidy-upper.- Catchy!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- THEY ALL LAUGH - Lola the inventor!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Ah!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29THEY ALL LAUGH
