0:00:26 > 0:00:30Wait for me!
0:01:00 > 0:01:08- Wait here while I make terms.- Oh. - You are a startler to look at.- Oh.
0:01:34 > 0:01:43- Five balls a halfpenny!- No, I'm here on business. Who's the boss?
0:01:44 > 0:01:52- Don't wake him. He can be nasty. - It will make him a lot of money.
0:01:52 > 0:02:01- What?- A giant.- You ARE kidding! - Come and see!- All right.- Good.
0:02:10 > 0:02:18- You are kidding, you best say so. My Bill is a fair terror.- Bobs!
0:02:20 > 0:02:27Lord's truth! How much you take for him?
0:02:27 > 0:02:37- I'll be a show for you today, if you give me 15 shillings.- Done!
0:02:38 > 0:02:45Is he dotty? Letting a kid cart him about.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50He must be. Wait here. I call my Bill.
0:03:11 > 0:03:18- I don't like the look of him. - Too late.
0:03:18 > 0:03:24- Hello.- How do you do, young man? - Over here.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Bobs.
0:03:29 > 0:03:36Strike me pink! Young man, your fortune's made.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Here's your 15 shillings.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45It is, as they say, "a drop in the ocean".
0:03:47 > 0:03:54Good job you've come to me. Some blokes beat their giants.
0:03:54 > 0:04:02- And starve them, too!- No-one had better beat me. But I AM hungry.
0:04:02 > 0:04:11Becca will get you grub later. Come with me in the back way.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Set the lads to guard him.
0:04:49 > 0:04:56Roll up! Don't miss the chance of a lifetime.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Ladies and gentlemen!
0:04:59 > 0:05:09It is my privilege to introduce to you for the first time - a giant!
0:05:10 > 0:05:14He's never been seen before.
0:05:14 > 0:05:23This giant is the eldest son of the Emperor of San Francisco.
0:05:23 > 0:05:30He has been compelled to flee his home country.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36He has taken refuge in England.
0:05:36 > 0:05:45The first 20 will see this blue-blooded giant for 3 pence each.
0:05:47 > 0:05:56After that the price is riz. So, NOW is the time.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Congratulations, madam.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14LADY SCREAMS
0:06:16 > 0:06:22OH, it was horrible! It's as big as a barn.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26It froze the blood in my veins.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Aaa-aaa-aaa-rrr-rrr-rrr-gh!
0:06:53 > 0:06:59You're lucky to be here, aren't you?
0:06:59 > 0:07:05Yesterday, everyone we met wanted you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:13We would have missed you so much. Martha would have thrown a fit.
0:07:15 > 0:07:22One of these days, it would be absolute heaven.
0:07:22 > 0:07:30We could have a wish where everyone lived happily ever after.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36You're not mad if you talk to yourself.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19I'm sorry, madam, he's having his tea.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- Hello.- Hello. What have we got?
0:08:28 > 0:08:37- How goes it?- How am I going to get away?- I've got a plan.
0:08:37 > 0:08:44- We're made for life. Good as winning a fortune.- Sir...
0:08:44 > 0:08:51He must be left alone when the sun sets.
0:08:51 > 0:08:59- He's very strange at that time of the day.- What comes over him?
0:08:59 > 0:09:08It's a change. Someone will get hurt, if he's not alone then.
0:09:08 > 0:09:16- He'll be fine for the evening, I hope?- Oh, yes.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22For all I know, George, you're a handsome prince.
0:09:22 > 0:09:30Shall we ask the psammead to bring back the boys now?
0:09:30 > 0:09:38- I don't like to think of him being a freak.- You can't unwish wishes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43What if the fair people won't let Bobs go?
0:09:43 > 0:09:51He must get his supper. Or he might eat one of you!
0:09:51 > 0:09:58I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Come back later.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09- Keep your head and walk out. - All right.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16My goodness! Are you all right?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- How do you feel?- I feel giddy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Ready?- Yes.- Good. Won't be a moment.
0:10:40 > 0:10:48- He wants some ears of corn. - What!?- He gets strange tastes.
0:10:48 > 0:10:56Could you open the tent a bit at the back? He's stifling.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01You do it, Becca. Watch he don't get out.
0:11:01 > 0:11:08- You best fetch his ears of corn! - I'll tell him.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Let's go.- Will it work?- Yes.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- And leave...- I'm off for the corn. - Yes!
0:11:22 > 0:11:29You make sure the man in there you don't miss.
0:11:29 > 0:11:36- We got away!- Hooray! - And we made 15 shillings!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40We got the better of the psammead.
0:11:42 > 0:11:50- You were asleep!- I hope he hasn't made a wish without us.- Never mind.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Let's pick blackberries.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Be persuaded for your own good.
0:11:58 > 0:12:06- Ask for a pterodactyl and have done with it.- No, thank you.
0:12:06 > 0:12:14- You know how you wish when you're playing?- I seldom play.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- I'm too busy giving wishes.- Yes.
0:12:18 > 0:12:26Won't you let us have our wish just when we think of it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:34- So we don't have to disturb you. - You'll wish for the wrong things.
0:12:34 > 0:12:41- But have it your own way. - Thank you! Good-bye.
0:12:50 > 0:12:57- We know where you've been.- Yes. - I haven't made a wish.
0:12:59 > 0:13:08- He has my watch!- Cyril!- People shouldn't leave their watches out.
0:13:23 > 0:13:30- Oh, Martha, my beloved! - Oh, Andrew, my prince!
0:13:34 > 0:13:40- Martha!- Andrew! - What are you doing?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I found some blackberries.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53He was only feeding George.
0:14:00 > 0:14:08- You're for it.- HE did it.- He's only a baby.- I wish he'd grow up.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14ALL: I wish he wouldn't!
0:14:16 > 0:14:24- He's asleep. - Is that really OUR Lamb?- Must be.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Is he still the Lamb inside?
0:14:28 > 0:14:36- He can't be. He must be grown-up on the inside.- It's awful!
0:14:36 > 0:14:43If he's grown-up, he won't let us boss him around.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49If he's a baby, he won't understand us.
0:14:49 > 0:14:59- How long is he going to snooze? It's dinner-time.- I'm ravenous.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Let's go home for dinner without him.
0:15:04 > 0:15:12- We can't go without the Lamb! - Thanks to you.- What shall we do?
0:15:12 > 0:15:20- Let's wake him to go into town for some grub.- I'm not waking him.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25He's always been a spoilt brat.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28We'll draw lots.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Nobody look.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Oh, no!- Go on, Puss-cat.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Bother the flies! Hello, kiddies.
0:16:11 > 0:16:18What's the giddy hour? You're late for your grub.
0:16:18 > 0:16:27- We know.- Then go home. I think I'll go to London for dinner.
0:16:27 > 0:16:35Or I could go into the village and lunch at the Saracen's Head.
0:16:35 > 0:16:42Then perhaps have a pull on the river.
0:16:42 > 0:16:50- No, Lamb, you mustn't.- Anthea, my name is HILARY!
0:16:50 > 0:16:58Any of my baptismal names are free to my little brothers and sisters.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03But NOT Lamb.
0:17:03 > 0:17:13- He talks as if we're younger than him.- We are.- Hilary, don't go.
0:17:15 > 0:17:23Why don't you take us to town and give us a jolly good blow-out?
0:17:23 > 0:17:33Run along to your dinners. I won't be back till you're all in bed.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Besides, I can't fit you all on my bike.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45You might take me.
0:17:45 > 0:17:55We promised not to lose you. Girls should be seen and not heard.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Run along home.
0:18:20 > 0:18:28- What are you doing with my bike? - It's run down, I think.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31It's a puncture.
0:18:31 > 0:18:40- (It's about 20!)- We'll soon put that right. Where can I get water?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42That way.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Good work.- It's ages till sunset.
0:18:50 > 0:18:58- That won't be mended till teatime. - Think what could happen after that.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51LAMB SCREAMS
0:20:06 > 0:20:12You did a good job with that pin!
0:20:12 > 0:20:16I say!
0:20:21 > 0:20:29There's a young lady coming. Go home! Hide! Behind the tree.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Fine brother he turned out to be!
0:20:39 > 0:20:44A puncture? Can I be of assistance?
0:20:44 > 0:20:48You're very kind.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54What's wrong? It's flat.
0:20:54 > 0:21:03- Hasn't he had enough of punctures? - If only she knew...- He's a dear.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08He's our own precious Lamb still.
0:21:08 > 0:21:16We're... I'm at the White House. I haven't had the pleasure...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I'm staying with Lady Chittenden.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- I have met her. - And how!
0:21:28 > 0:21:35- She wouldn't want him now. - They're going to fall in love.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41- Look at that.- I hope it gets bust.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49I could mend it now, but it is getting late.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- I'll walk you home.- No!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Please, don't let him.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03- Go away! - He's not what you think he is.
0:22:03 > 0:22:11- What do you mean?- Let him go with you and you'll see what I mean.
0:22:11 > 0:22:20He's a poor, helpless little baby. His feet wouldn't reach the pedals.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- Who are these children? - I don't know.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Lamb, you're our baby brother.
0:22:29 > 0:22:38- We must take care of him. - We must get him home before sunset.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41This is bosh.
