0:00:41 > 0:00:44the most prestigious night in the secondary calendar
0:00:44 > 0:00:47of minor awards for supporting achievement.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50The one night of the year when number twos are number one!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Back at HQ, we find Penfold preparing for his big night -
0:00:54 > 0:00:57a night when his services to just generally being around
0:00:57 > 0:00:59will surely be recognised.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Only a dire emergency can spoil this special...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04ALARM WAILS Oh.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Sorry...
0:01:06 > 0:01:07..To interrupt.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08But, DM...
0:01:08 > 0:01:09We've got...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11The what d'you...? What d'you m'call it...?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Trouble!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16In the Arctic. I need you. Go!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17There. Now! Why?
0:01:17 > 0:01:23No! Why tonight, of all nights? Why?!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Don't despair, Penfold! I'll handle this.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You go to the awards. This is your big night.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Thanks, Chief.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32HE GIGGLES
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You see? A giant light bulb!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37We turn it on, then go away on holiday.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41The world goes bankrupt from the electricity bill!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Dreadful idea. No wonder you weren't nominated for Minion of the Year.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Is no fair. You always nominate Nero.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Ooh-la-la!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Nero doesn't come up with pathetic light bulb plans!- Ha!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Or any plans!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Oh, how many times have I told you?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Evil schemes must be overcomplicated and dramatic.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Take my robot termites.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07When I unleash them, they will devour the world!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I will win that award, you will see!
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Everyone will see I am the best minion!
0:02:15 > 0:02:16This is such a surprise!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- I honestly never thought... - Penfold?!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Chief! I thought you were going to the Arctic.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Yes, I was. Then I noticed Colonel K's glitch.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26What d'you m'call it...?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- What d'you m'call it...? What d'you m'call it...?- Ooh!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31How right. That's very...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- OK,- I- did it!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39It's a recording. I wanted to stop you going to the Sidekickies.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42But why?! I'm your biggest fan.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46That's why! You always embarrass me.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Embarrass you?! How?!
0:02:49 > 0:02:51CHEERING
0:02:52 > 0:02:54This is a travesty!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Penfold is the best sidekick of all time!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Of all time!
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Penfold!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I had no idea you felt like that. Penfold, rest assured,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09there will be no misjudged displays of support this year.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Thanks, Chief!
0:03:11 > 0:03:12CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Ahh!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'm up for Best Sidekick, yeah.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19But I don't mind if I lose.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22It's an honour just to be here, pretending I don't mind if I lose.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oooh!
0:03:24 > 0:03:25There's Stiletto!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Hi, Stiletto!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Welcome, welcome, all sidekicks,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35minions, lackeys, toadies and henchpersons.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Tonight we say thank you to...
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Stiletto!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yes! It is I!
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Now give me Minion of the Year or my robot termites eat the whole show.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47AUDIENCE GASPS
0:03:47 > 0:03:49You are right to gasp.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52All I have to do is press the button like this...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55and a huge swarm of...
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Uh-oh.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Amateur. - SHE YELPS
0:04:03 > 0:04:05AUDIENCE MEMBERS YELL
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Crumbs!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Robot termites!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I wonder what the Chief would do.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I expect I'd whip off my disguise and leap to the rescue.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Chief! You're here!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But you said you'd respect my wishes!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Yes, but I didn't say which wishes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Don't try and worm your way out of this!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I get one night of the year when it's about me,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- and you... You...! - You're right, Penfold.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31But we do now have a slight situation to deal with,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34so why don't you be in charge and I'll be your number two.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Really, Chief?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37You're chief now. Chief.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Well! My first decision as chief is...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44..RU-U-UN!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47PENFOLD YELLS
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well done, Chief!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Yes! I suppose I was pretty... - CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Just some pictures of your first command.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04What's the plan, Chief?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07HE WAILS
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Interesting strategy, but OK.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11BOTH WAIL
0:05:13 > 0:05:14It actually worked!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Penfold, I didn't know you had it in you.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18In fact, I was pretty certain you didn't.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21He didn't stop them... I did.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You'd think my termites eating a building would win
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Minion of the Year, but oh, no.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Everyone just runs away screaming.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32So now, I take top agent Danger Mouse hostage
0:05:32 > 0:05:37and force the Academy to give me the award.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Erm, excuse me?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I think you'll find I'm the top agent tonight.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44You what?!
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The mouse lets YOU be in charge?!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51The Baron never lets me do my things!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59BUZZING
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Hey, my remote is broken.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09'Not broken, just too small, like your scheme.'
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So I've upgraded the prize,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13from an award to the world.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15HE LAUGHS
0:06:17 > 0:06:20As I speak, robo-termites are enjoying a global picnic.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Soon, the world will surrender and it will be
0:06:24 > 0:06:25a lot easier to find parking.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28BOTH LAUGH
0:06:28 > 0:06:29STILETTO: Wargh!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Oh!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Time for a game-changer, Chief.- Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'm thinking panicking followed by crying
0:06:39 > 0:06:41or maybe both together!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43The double? Interesting idea, Chief.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45But before you decide,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47try visualising the situation in your head.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Ooh, look at that!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Now I see what to do.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56We'll fly to safety, fly!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Like a hamster in the sky!
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Whee!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It worked?!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Just like you imagined it, Chief.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12The termites. They're making parking easier by the second!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13We've got to do something.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Yes, that's why you came up with a plan to invade the Baron's Flyer
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and steal his remote control.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Gosh, that WAS clever of me, wasn't it?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Let's go!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Why can't I be in charge like Penfold?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Because heroes follow different rules.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32For example...
0:07:32 > 0:07:33they follow rules.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Hee-hee-hee!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Oh! Erm... Hand over that remote control, Baron,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51to me, because I'm in charge.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Ha! I'll never give up my controller.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You'll have to pry it from my cold, slippery, dead hands...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oops! Ooh! Ah!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Uh-oh!- OK, so now there's no way to control the termites.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Time for plan B, Chief.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Oh, good. Have I got a plan B?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14ARGH!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You'd better do something, Chief. The termites are eating everything.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26ARGH!
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I'm not sure this is the time for photos.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Penfold, if screeching round the sky
0:08:32 > 0:08:35in a flying car when the world's being eaten by robot insects
0:08:35 > 0:08:38isn't the right time for photos, I don't know what is.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Erm... Chief?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Is there usually a tidal wave of robot termites
0:08:42 > 0:08:44in the rear-view mirror?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Not normally, Chief, no.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48It's the flash.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- It's attracting them. - You mean...?- Yes!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53They must be keen amateur photographers.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Or they're attracted to light.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Only one way to find out.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59BRAKES SCREECH
0:09:04 > 0:09:06LIGHT JAZZ PLAYING
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Ah!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Aah! Argh!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Whoo-hoo-hoo!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Chief, we're almost out of ticking clock.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- And car!- And episode. We need a plan C.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Of course! Plan C.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Brilliant.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Yes, but we still need a plan.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That is the plan, the sea!
0:09:49 > 0:09:54If my tea can fry one termite, imagine what a whole ocean can do.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06BOOM!
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Well done, Penfold.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'm proud to be your sidekick.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Oh, thanks, Chief.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21After a last-minute revote to honour his heroics this evening,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24the Best Sidekick award goes to...
0:10:26 > 0:10:27..Danger Mouse.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Thanks.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32But this should go to someone who deserves it,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36like the number one number two a number one could ever have.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Penfold.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Yippee!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43'And so, as another award ceremony ends,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46'the world reflects on the important question...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48'Why are there no narrators' awards?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50'I mean, seriously?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53'Do you think sitting down all day drinking tea and reading is easy?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55'I mean, the timing involved in finishing
0:10:55 > 0:10:57'the final sentence just before the music st...'
0:10:59 > 0:11:01# He's the greatest
0:11:01 > 0:11:03# He's fantastic
