0:00:25 > 0:00:30Auntie! Auntie! Auntie!
0:00:36 > 0:00:42Auntie, thank heaven! Please get my bicycle.
0:00:42 > 0:00:49What is it? Those children! You poor child!
0:00:49 > 0:00:54You've put paid to that nicely(!)
0:00:54 > 0:01:03The little girl's eyes were those of a maniac. Why is she at large?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06There, there.
0:01:06 > 0:01:14Thank you, sir, I'll take that. It has a puncture.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Au revoir.
0:01:29 > 0:01:36You must have had sunstroke. The things you said to that lady!
0:01:36 > 0:01:44When you're yourself again, you won't even understand them.
0:01:44 > 0:01:52Come on! If you're not yourself tomorrow, we'll get the doctor in.
0:01:52 > 0:01:59As you're all as mad as hatters, I suppose I HAD better take you home.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Dashed if that's not down AGAIN!
0:02:06 > 0:02:12I shall have something to say to you tomorrow!
0:02:12 > 0:02:19You will, my Lamb, but it won't be the sort of thing you're expecting.
0:02:19 > 0:02:27Now not too fast. We've got to spin it out till sunset.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Leave it alone!- (Do something!)
0:02:40 > 0:02:48- Ohh! Not so fast! I'm tired! - Oh, for goodness sake!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Oh, come on, then.
0:02:57 > 0:03:05# Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York He had ten thousand men...
0:03:10 > 0:03:16# He marched them up to the top of the hill... #
0:03:16 > 0:03:24- I half remember this. - Pretty boring place this!
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- I only wish...- Ugh! Over there!
0:03:30 > 0:03:36- What?- Er, a dragon! - A pterodactyl.
0:03:36 > 0:03:45- I saw it!- She's potty. Talks to herself, too.- I'm not mad!
0:03:45 > 0:03:51You're ALL mad! Let's go home.
0:03:51 > 0:03:58- (Where's the Psammead got to? - I don't know!)
0:03:58 > 0:04:05- Lamb...er, Hilary, I mean, let's go and have a swing.- Please!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Or get the croquet things out.
0:04:09 > 0:04:16You lot can play croquet till the sun goes down! I'm for tea!
0:04:16 > 0:04:26Oh, my Lamb! Just LOOK at him standing up on his little fat legs!
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Come to Martha, then, my poppet!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Ahh!
0:04:44 > 0:04:52- Our Lamb!- He's back!- I expect his watch has gone, too.- Bike!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Just look at him!
0:05:05 > 0:05:14- He looks so innocent.- We must bully him...for his own sake.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- You shan't if- I- can help it.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Off to the Club?- He fell in love.
0:05:28 > 0:05:35A letter came from your ma today. This was in it for you - good news!
0:05:37 > 0:05:46Granny's better, Mother's returning this afternoon and Father tonight!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I'm glad Lamb's back to normal.
0:05:50 > 0:05:58- We ought to wish for something for Mother.- What would she like?
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- She'd like us to be good.- Boring!
0:06:03 > 0:06:11- We must think of something splendid.- But remember yesterday.
0:06:11 > 0:06:20- A blessing we're all alive!- What? - We could be murdered in our beds!
0:06:20 > 0:06:28- Has someone been murdered? - No, but they might just as well.
0:06:28 > 0:06:38Burglars have taken every single ONE of Lady Chittenden's jewels!
0:06:38 > 0:06:45- No children of her own and can't abide other folks'!- That's her. >
0:06:45 > 0:06:54Her diamonds were worth thousands! She had bracelets, rings, a t'ara!
0:06:54 > 0:07:01Still I have all the place to clean before your ma gets home.
0:07:01 > 0:07:10Why should she have all that when Mother hasn't ANY diamonds?
0:07:10 > 0:07:17When I grow up, I'll buy Mother no end of diamonds.
0:07:17 > 0:07:26If only all those jewels could be in Mother's room. I wish they could!
0:07:26 > 0:07:34- Oh!- You've done it now!- Ohh! - I've WARNED you about wishing!
0:07:34 > 0:07:42If the Psammead's in a good temper, he may take back the wish.
0:07:42 > 0:07:52- I doubt if you can unwish wishes. - The police will come!- Hurry!
0:08:02 > 0:08:10- Not a sign!- Of course, WE can't find them. It's Mother who will.
0:08:10 > 0:08:17- She'll get the blame! - And be put in prison!
0:08:17 > 0:08:26Psammead, come out! I'm sorry if I ever said anything bad about you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:33It's no good. The brute's hiding, pretending he's not here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39We'll tell Mother the truth and she'll give back the jewels.
0:08:39 > 0:08:46- Do you think she'd believe us? - She'd think we're raving mad!
0:08:46 > 0:08:52- It's true!- Not true enough for grown-ups to believe.
0:08:52 > 0:08:59We'll get so many flowers, Mother won't see the things for them.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05- Then at sunset, they'll vanish. - Hurrah!
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Heavens! Do you like them?
0:09:13 > 0:09:19They're wonderful! Martha, have they been good?
0:09:19 > 0:09:26- Of course we have. - On and off, ma'am.
0:09:26 > 0:09:34It's lovely to be home. I'll just go upstairs and take off my bonnet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:42- Let me take your things.- No, me! - We want you to see the swing.- Yes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:50Nonsense, dears, I must wash these black hands of mine.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Fetch my bag from the cart, please.
0:10:02 > 0:10:09Oh, more flowers! So beautiful! Mind the hat-pin, darling.
0:10:19 > 0:10:26- Father must have told Martha to put it here as a surprise.- No!
0:10:26 > 0:10:32Why not take it off and then check with Martha?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Well, perhaps I should.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46What on earth...?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59< Jane?
0:10:59 > 0:11:07- I want you to tell me the truth. - We...we found a fairy.
0:11:07 > 0:11:17- No nonsense, please!- Mother, we have never seen these things before.
0:11:17 > 0:11:24But Lady Chittenden had all her jewellery stolen last night.
0:11:24 > 0:11:31- But why should they put it here? - Perhaps they're waiting for dark.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I must send for the police at once!
0:11:35 > 0:11:43- I wish your father was here. - Wait for him!- No! Call for Martha.
0:11:43 > 0:11:52- I'll put these back in the drawer. - Martha, could you come in, please?
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- Ma'am? - Has a stranger been in here?
0:11:58 > 0:12:06- No, ma'am. At least... - Someone has! You must tell me.
0:12:06 > 0:12:14- Don't be frightened. - I was gonna give you me notice.
0:12:14 > 0:12:21On account of me getting wed.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Told you!
0:12:24 > 0:12:33- He helped me clean your windows, but HE was outside and- I- was inside.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39- All the time? - Except when I fetched a pail.
0:12:39 > 0:12:45That will do. I'm not very pleased with you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49But you have spoken the truth.
0:12:55 > 0:13:02Oh, it isn't Beale's fault! He's as honest as the day!
0:13:02 > 0:13:11- Don't let the police take him! - I must tell the police at ONCE.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17- Don't go! - Wait till Daddy gets home!
0:13:17 > 0:13:23I shall lock this room and take the key.
0:13:23 > 0:13:30And now she's gone to fetch the police!
0:13:30 > 0:13:38Don't take on, Martha! You haven't done anything wrong.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43'Course I ain't! Nor me neither!
0:13:43 > 0:13:50- Martha, don't cry! - It's all MY fault!
0:13:50 > 0:13:58- YOU ain't been thieving jewels, Miss Jane!- Of course she hasn't.
0:13:58 > 0:14:06- She means it'll be all right. - That's what- I- said.
0:14:06 > 0:14:13And we know something secret that we can't possibly tell you.
0:14:13 > 0:14:22But we know for a certain fact that you've got nothing to do with it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28- Justice will be done. - And you'll live happily ever after.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34Why, what a funny lot you are!
0:14:37 > 0:14:42I shall miss them and no mistake.
0:14:50 > 0:14:57There's no point in guarding them. There aren't burglars to come back.
0:14:57 > 0:15:06If the Psammead DOES help, Mother will think we didn't guard them.
0:15:06 > 0:15:13- Or the police will think WE'VE got them.- This is a ghastly mess.
0:15:13 > 0:15:21It's a very hot day so the Psammead may be out warming his whisker.
0:15:21 > 0:15:29He won't give more wishes today. I think he hates giving wishes.
0:15:29 > 0:15:36It's our last chance - our last forlorn hope. Come on!
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Look, there he is!
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Leave go of me!
0:15:47 > 0:15:54- Dear, darling Psammead! - You want another wish, huh?
0:15:54 > 0:16:02- I can't keep giving wishes. - Do you hate it?- Of course I do.
0:16:02 > 0:16:09- Leave go or I'll bite you! - No, don't bite me! Listen!
0:16:10 > 0:16:19If you'll do what we want today, we'll NEVER ask for another wish.
0:16:19 > 0:16:26I'll bust myself to give you one wish after another.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32But never ask me for a wish again after today.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37I hate blowing out wishes.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43I'm always frightened that I'll strain a muscle.
0:16:43 > 0:16:50And to wake up every morning and know you've got to do it!
0:16:50 > 0:16:56You don't know what it is. You don't.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01There, there! It's all over now.
0:17:01 > 0:17:09We promise faithfully never to ask for another wish after today.
0:17:09 > 0:17:17- Yes.- We promise. - Go ahead. Let's get it over.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23- Here are the first two. - Two?!
0:17:26 > 0:17:33I've fainted three times already and I think I'm fainting again!
0:17:33 > 0:17:42Your Ladyship, if you could just hold off while I ask a few questions.
0:17:42 > 0:17:51Now have you seen any suspicious characters about, your Ladyship?
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Why ask me? Oh, I believe I have!
0:17:56 > 0:18:03That young man yesterday! He was very strange indeed.
0:18:03 > 0:18:11And those dreadful children. One was quite mad with staring eyes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:22- And, of course, that giant! - Giant?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Do you mean an actual giant?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32The White House! >
0:18:32 > 0:18:40- That's where the young man lived. - I shall make immediate enquiries.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46Now, Lady Chittenden, your jewels...
0:18:46 > 0:18:54- Where was they, exactly? - In the bureau.
0:18:59 > 0:19:06- And what happened? - Help me, dear.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11I simply opened the drawer and...
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Ahh!
0:19:18 > 0:19:25Can't you go any faster, Mr Crispin? It IS urgent.
0:19:25 > 0:19:33I can't, ma'am, on account of the bending in the lane.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37CRASH
0:19:43 > 0:19:50Are you all right, ma'am? Pothole, I reckon. Never mind.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56You was in a hurry. Urgent, you said.
0:19:56 > 0:20:04I'm so sorry about your trap, but I shall enjoy the walk home.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Good-bye.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15Done!Both of them?Done!
0:20:15 > 0:20:22- Would you like a rest?- Yes. Will you make a wish for me?
0:20:22 > 0:20:31- Can't you do wishes for yourself? - Of course not.
0:20:31 > 0:20:38Just wish, will you, that you'll never tell anyone about me?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42But why?Don't you see?
0:20:42 > 0:20:50If you told grown-ups, I'd have no peace for the rest of my life.
0:20:50 > 0:20:57- They wouldn't wish silly things. - What, then?
0:20:57 > 0:21:03They'd soon get things sorted out.
0:21:03 > 0:21:10- They'd make things last after sunset.- Yes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:17So do hurry up and wish it. Quick!
0:21:19 > 0:21:27I wish that not one of us will say a word about you to anyone ever.
0:21:42 > 0:21:50Oh, the relief! And now, can I do anything more for you?
0:21:50 > 0:21:57No. Thank you, dear Psammead, for all you've done.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01I hope you have a good long sleep.
0:22:01 > 0:22:11- You're much better at wishes than I am.- She's hopeless!- I know.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Could you give us one last wish?
0:22:16 > 0:22:21My whisker!Not if it hurts!
0:22:21 > 0:22:30But could we possibly, for one last time, have our wings again?
0:23:06 > 0:23:11#You want your heart's desire And there's nothing but the fire
0:23:11 > 0:23:16#Of a madly yearning wild imagination
0:23:16 > 0:23:21#When all you have to do is choose If you don't you'll lose
0:23:21 > 0:23:26#Something special in your life will pass you by
0:23:26 > 0:23:31#Castles in the air Or a chest of purest gold
0:23:31 > 0:23:38#Cast a sight despair Start a quest before you're old
0:23:39 > 0:23:45#Try wishing a little harder every day
0:23:45 > 0:23:49#Wishing to chase the clouds away
0:23:49 > 0:23:54#In the twinkling of an eye You'll grow tall or even fly
0:23:54 > 0:23:59#You don't know until you try So do-o
