0:00:02 > 0:00:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Catch me if you can!
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Grandpa!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19No, be careful!
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Grandpa, stop!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Grandpa In My Pocket.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hello, little fellow.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54'Jemima had brought her school hamster home for the weekend
0:00:54 > 0:00:57'cos it was her turn to look after him.'
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- What's your name?- He's called Julian.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Julian? That's a funny name for a hamster, eh, Beowulf?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07You'll have the best time ever.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Nobody can handle you as well as I can.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13'Little did we know that we were all going to learn...'
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I'm going to ask dad if I can have a hamster of my own.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Oh, you are, are you?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Dad was in the garden, sawing some wood.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37He was going to mend a hole in the floor in the toilet.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Dad's always mending things, especially bikes,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46cos he runs the bike shop in town.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51He fixes tyres...
0:01:54 > 0:01:56..and wheels...
0:01:59 > 0:02:01..and chains.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10He's really good at fixing bikes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15But not quite so good at fixing other things.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Don't go in the downstairs toilet.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- I'm fixing a hole in the floor.- Dad! Dad!
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Please can I have a hamster like Julian, please?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Hmmm, if you show me you can look after Julian,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- I might just think about it. - Yes!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Come on, let's make you comfy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Ah, I wish Mum could see you, Julian.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44Mum was away on a cooking course. Cooking was her latest hobby.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Mum's always taking up new hobbies. One week it's karate...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50..then it's salsa dancing...
0:02:50 > 0:02:53..then cake decorating...
0:02:54 > 0:02:55..the ukulele...
0:02:58 > 0:02:59..knitting...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03..opera singing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07SINGS HIGH NOTES
0:03:11 > 0:03:14But she'd left us this -
0:03:14 > 0:03:17a scrummy sausage stew to heat up for our tea.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19GRANDPA SNIFFS
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Sausage stew, oh-ho! Our favourite, eh, Wolfy?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I can smell a sausage stew a mile away.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Do you fancy a sausage, Julian? No, Grandpa!
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- Hamsters eat seeds.- And they drink water, I'll fill this up.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- No! I'll do it, Jason. - Let me!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Come on, there we are.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh-oh, the door's open...
0:03:42 > 0:03:45..he's out, he's out!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Jemima! Jason! - What's the matter, Grandpa?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Jemima soon found out what the matter was... Julian had gone.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Julian's gone! Jason, it's your fault,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- you shouldn't have taken the bottle! - I was trying to help.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04He could be anywhere. Maybe he's in the kitchen.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07He's so small, he can get into tiny places.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12A bit like me, eh? I can get into really tiny places when I'm small.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- 'Uh-oh, he was thinking of using his shrinking cap.'- I'LL find Julian.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Not the shrinking cap!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Catch me if you can!- Come back!
0:04:25 > 0:04:27'When Grandpa shrinks,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31'he can get up to all kinds of magical things.'
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Get down, Grandpa!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35'He can fly off in my plane.'
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Grandpa, stop!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42'He can get into my car and make it go.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49'Once he's got an idea in his head, there's no stopping him.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- 'He drove my car into the hallway.' - He's not in the kitchen!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We mustn't tell Dad, or I'll never get a hamster.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Bit too long, this one. What's the matter?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- BOTH: Nothing! - Grandpa gone for a lie down, has he?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'll try this again.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Whenever Grandpa shrinks, they think he's gone for a lie down.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Why does Grandpa have to lie down when we need him?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17'Jemima grabbed her chance.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19'She went to look in the toilet
0:05:19 > 0:05:22'while Dad was gone. Meanwhile,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26'Grandpa was waiting for his chance in my car.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- 'Then suddenly we heard...' - Ah! Oh, no! No!
0:05:30 > 0:05:36Julian's gone through the hole in the toilet, we'll never find him!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Oh, yes, we will!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41JEMIMA SOBS
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Grandpa was off.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45He zoomed through the kitchen,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48and Jemima was too busy crying to notice him.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55I rushed after him into the toilet, but by the time I'd got there...
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Grandpa had gone!
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Not only was Julian under the floorboards, but so was Grandpa!
0:06:04 > 0:06:09Julian! Julian!
0:06:09 > 0:06:15Come out, I know you're here somewhere.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Aah! There you are. Come on,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27little chap, don't be frightened, I'm only trying to help you!
0:06:27 > 0:06:32It's all right, Julian, don't be frightened.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Are you there, Julian?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Come back, Julian!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Where are you?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Come back, Julian!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Come back, Julian, please come back. Please, Julian!
0:06:58 > 0:07:02This time, Grandpa had gone TOO far. I was worried
0:07:02 > 0:07:05he'd come out of the hole instead of Julian,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08but Grandpa wasn't about to come out cos...
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'm completely lost. Bother!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I was trying to work out what to do, when I heard...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18BANGING ON FLOOR
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Are you there, Grandpa?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Yes, can you hear me?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Yes, are you all right?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Yes, but I'm a little bit lost.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30What shall I do?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Put the hamster food next to the hole.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Julian will smell it, and come on out.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39But how can we get you out, Grandpa?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oh, you'll think of something.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- What are you doing, Jason?- Nothing!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What are you doing, Jemima?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Nothing!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58We'll have to tell Dad, he's about to cover up the hole.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02And if he does that I'll never see Julian again!
0:08:02 > 0:08:06'Of course I was worried that I'd never see Grandpa again.'
0:08:07 > 0:08:11'The thing about Grandpa is that he's always fun.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- 'We play lots of games...' - Three!- Oh, you've won again!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ha-ha-ha! I certainly did.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23'We read Captain Dumbletwit stories...'
0:08:23 > 0:08:25..out of the side of a spaceship.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28'We share our ice cream...
0:08:28 > 0:08:34- '..we suck up our spaghetti...' - HE LAUGHS
0:08:34 > 0:08:37'..and Grandpa is always like this.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43'Just then, Dad came back out of the toilet with the plank.'
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Wrong size, too short this time. Try again.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I've got a plan, listen.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Jemima put the food in front of the hole,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54so that Julian would smell it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- At last, you've had a good idea, Jason.- Thanks!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02'I couldn't say it was Grandpa's good idea.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04'We waited really quietly,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07'hoping Julian would smell the food and come out.'
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Julian's come out! Look, he's here!
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Oh, you're so cute, I'm so glad I found you.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The good news was that Julian was safe.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38The bad news was that Grandpa was under the floorboards.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Can you help me measure this, please?- Luckily, Dad called Jemima.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45'I just had a few minutes to rescue Grandpa.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48'I needed a plan and I needed it fast.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53'If Julian could find his way back by smelling food
0:09:53 > 0:09:55'then it could work for Grandpa!
0:09:57 > 0:10:02'So I put the cold sausage stew down by the hole in the toilet.'
0:10:03 > 0:10:05GRANDPA SNIFFS
0:10:05 > 0:10:12Oh, sausage stew, I could smell sausage stew a mile away.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Grandpa! You're back!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22'Course I came back, I wasn't going to miss out on the sausage stew.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Quick, get to your chair.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Grandpa whipped off his shrinking cap
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and came back to normal. He was in his chair
0:10:35 > 0:10:39just as Dad and Jemima came in with a new plank.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Third time lucky!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, Julian, I said I'd find you, and I did.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- Couldn't have done it without Jason, though, teamwork, eh?- Teamwork!
0:10:51 > 0:10:52- Ha-ha!- He-he!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01'Grandpa really enjoyed his sausage stew.'
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Wolfy, come one!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05'And so did Beowulf.'
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Good boy!
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Guess what, Dad said I could have a hamster of my own, if I want one.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- But I think they're too much work. - So do I.- Huh?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19What do you mean, Grandpa? You didn't do anything.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Oh, didn't I?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25THEY LAUGH
