0:00:06 > 0:00:07Catch me if you can!

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Grandpa!

0:00:17 > 0:00:19No! Be careful!

0:00:25 > 0:00:26Grandpa, stop!

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Whoa...

0:00:47 > 0:00:51'Today we were playing Captain Dumbletwit Let's Pretend.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54'Grandpa was wearing his costume.'

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Captain Dumbletwit, off to save the universe!

0:00:58 > 0:01:00'Mum came down in a panic.'

0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm in a bit of a panic.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Jason, Jemima, can you tidy up in here?

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Our special visitors are due any moment.

0:01:08 > 0:01:13'The SPECIAL visitors were Grandpa's old friend Gilbert

0:01:13 > 0:01:15'and his granddaughter Martha.'

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Oh, you're going to love Granddad Gilbert,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20he's got a great imagination.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Will he play Captain Dumbletwit?

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Oh, for sure! We'll be able to act out space missions.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31If Dumbletwit can do it, so can you!

0:01:31 > 0:01:34'Little did we know it was going to be...'

0:01:39 > 0:01:43I can't wait to show Granddad Gilbert my treasure chest.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46We used to play with these toys.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50We were best friends, we even had a special greeting.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52# Teeny beeny zac-ar-ac-ah big bong what-ah-cracker

0:01:52 > 0:01:55# Slippah slappah pop-a-lo-pah om pom boof. #

0:01:55 > 0:01:57DOORBELL RINGS

0:01:57 > 0:02:01'Granddad Gilbert and his granddaughter Martha

0:02:01 > 0:02:02'were at the door.'

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Martha! Gilbert! How wonderful to see you!

0:02:06 > 0:02:08# Teeny beeny zac-ar-ac-ah big bong what-ah-cracker

0:02:08 > 0:02:10# Slippah slappah pop-a-lo-pah om pom boof. #

0:02:10 > 0:02:12LAUGHTER

0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Are you all right? - Well, it's our greeting, our...

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Don't you remember it?

0:02:17 > 0:02:19I can't say I do.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Do you always dress like that?

0:02:21 > 0:02:26What? This? Oh, I'm being Captain Dumbletwit for the kids.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27I made the costume,

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- we couldn't find a big one. - I don't suppose you could.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Come along, everyone. Come on, Martha.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39'Grandpa hadn't seen Gilbert for years and years.'

0:02:44 > 0:02:46'There was a long pause.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50'Nobody knew what to say. Then, I thought of something.'

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Grandpa told us about the games you played, he's got his toys!

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Hello, Gilbert. Monkey Albert! You must remember Monkey Albert?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Can't say that I do.

0:03:00 > 0:03:06'There was another even LONGER pause. Grandpa was looking fed up.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11'Granddad Gilbert was fed up. Then, Jemima thought of something.'

0:03:11 > 0:03:16- Do you like Captain Dumbletwit, Martha?- Yes! It's REALLY funny.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Why don't we play the Dumbletwit board game?- I don't like board games.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24You can play if you like, but not here - it's noisy.

0:03:24 > 0:03:30'So, Jemima and Martha went upstairs and I went to fetch the board game.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34You must look at our garden. You can give me ideas.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I doubt it.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40'So, Mum took Granddad Gilbert out to show him the garden.'

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Ideas, huh! Gilbert used to be full of ideas!

0:03:45 > 0:03:48But now he's lost his imagination.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51We are going to try and help to get it back again.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54There's only one way to do it.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Catch me if you can!

0:04:00 > 0:04:03'You know what it's like when Grandpa shrinks.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06'He gets up to all sorts of things -

0:04:06 > 0:04:08'he can ride off in my car,

0:04:08 > 0:04:10'he can fly off in my plane.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13'What would he get up to dressed as Captain Dumbletwit?'

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Come on!

0:04:15 > 0:04:18'Mum came back in with Granddad Gilbert.'

0:04:18 > 0:04:22Where's Grandpa? He must have gone for a lie down.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24When I've come all this way to see him?

0:04:24 > 0:04:30He has a lot of lie downs, especially when we have visitors.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Oh, well. I can finish my crossword.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Great! I'll make a start on the lunch.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Sausage, beans and jelly all right?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43'Of course, Grandpa wasn't laying down.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47'He was standing right above Granddad Gilbert.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49'And Grandpa, being Grandpa...

0:04:49 > 0:04:52'was bound to have a plan.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55'While Granddad Gilbert was busy doing his crossword,

0:04:55 > 0:04:59'Grandpa crawled towards the Doojit puppet.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02'I had no idea this was going on,

0:05:02 > 0:05:06'because I was having fun with Jemima and Martha.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10'There was certainly no fun going on downstairs.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13'But Grandpa was about to change that.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16'He had got right inside the Doojit puppet.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18'I checked on Grandpa,

0:05:18 > 0:05:21'I tiptoed to the bottom of the stairs.'

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I'm Doojit! Captain Dumbletwit's alien pet.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Yes, very funny, Jason. Go away, I'm finishing my crossword.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32'Granddad Gilbert thought it was me!

0:05:32 > 0:05:35'I had to get Grandpa out of Doojit.'

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Give Captain Dumbletwit his spaceship.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40'But I was too late.'

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Oh, do stop this nonsense.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45'This was a disaster!

0:05:45 > 0:05:47'Grandpa was stuck inside Doojit.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51'Any second, Granddad Gilbert was going to find him.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52'I had to do something.'

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Let me go! Let me go!

0:05:54 > 0:05:55I knew it was you.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Now stop it. Really.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02'The good news was that Granddad Gilbert hadn't seen Grandpa.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06'The bad news was that he'd shut him in the treasure chest.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08'I had to get him out.'

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Oh, no, you don't.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Upstairs with you, go on.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17'There was nothing I could do, I was worried about Grandpa.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21'But Grandpa, being Grandpa, was bound to have a plan.

0:06:22 > 0:06:27I've run out of sausages, beans AND jelly! Ha-ha! Won't be long.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30'I was right, Grandpa DID have a plan!

0:06:30 > 0:06:33'And now Mum had gone, he could put it into action.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Let me out!

0:06:35 > 0:06:38KNOCKING Let me out!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40KNOCKING

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Please let me out!

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Jason!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Please let me out!

0:06:54 > 0:06:59Thanks! Oh. Was getting mighty stuffy in there.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Name's Dumbletwit, Captain Dumbletwit.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05'Granddad Gilbert thought Grandpa was a toy!'

0:07:05 > 0:07:07What an amazing toy!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09'Then, he tried to grab him.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13'Grandpa ran and Granddad Gilbert ran after him!'

0:07:14 > 0:07:19'He watched Grandpa run along the shelf and peep out.'

0:07:23 > 0:07:25'Then, he lost him!'

0:07:28 > 0:07:31'Grandpa jumped onto the chair.'

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Stop. Come back. Come here!

0:07:34 > 0:07:38'But Grandpa had other ideas.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41'The lights on Captain Dumbletwit's spaceship

0:07:41 > 0:07:43'started to flicker.'

0:07:44 > 0:07:45Oh!

0:07:45 > 0:07:48'Grandpa had climbed inside.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52'When Grandpa is small, he can use his magic to make my toys go.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56'Sometimes it's my plane, sometimes it's my car...

0:07:56 > 0:07:59'and now it was my spaceship!'

0:08:02 > 0:08:07'Granddad Gilbert couldn't believe his eyes!

0:08:07 > 0:08:10'This time Grandpa had gone too far

0:08:10 > 0:08:13'and he was about to go even further.'

0:08:19 > 0:08:23I've never seen anything like it in my life.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Who are you?

0:08:24 > 0:08:25And WHAT are you?

0:08:25 > 0:08:29The name's Dumbletwit, Captain Dumbletwit.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32I'm on a mission to give you back your imagination.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34My imagination?

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Yes.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45I wouldn't be the space hero I am if I didn't have an imagination.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46And you need one too.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Do I?

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Why?

0:08:51 > 0:08:55To play with your granddaughter and to have fun.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59I'm too old to have fun, I've forgotten how.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Nonsense! Just remember what it was like when you were a child,

0:09:03 > 0:09:05you knew how to have fun then.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Yes. Yes, I suppose I did.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13Ha! My best friends and I did play some wonderful games.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18'And he started to remember all the fun

0:09:18 > 0:09:20he and Grandpa had had together.'

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Well... We'd pretend to be knights

0:09:23 > 0:09:29or explorers in the jungle.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32We even made up our own funny greeting.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35# Teeny beeny zac-ar-ac-ah big bong what-ah-cracker

0:09:35 > 0:09:39# Slippah slappah pop-a-lo-pah om pom boof. #

0:09:39 > 0:09:44See! Your imagination is coming back to you already.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45What did I tell you?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48If Dumbletwit can do it, so can you.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Now you're ready to go and play with Martha.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55Yes. Yes, I will. Thank you, Captain Dumbletwit.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Oh!

0:09:58 > 0:10:02You know, you're not as dumb as you look.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Martha!

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Mission accomplished.- Martha!

0:10:09 > 0:10:12'Granddad Gilbert rushed upstairs.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15'and Grandpa rushed to take his costume off.'

0:10:15 > 0:10:18You'll never believe what I've just seen!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Captain Dumbletwit!

0:10:20 > 0:10:24He was flying in his spaceship and he even spoke to me.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27"If Dumbletwit can do it, so can you."

0:10:27 > 0:10:29That's what he said. He's right.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Em... I'll think I'll just go see if lunch is ready.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36'I ran downstairs as Grandpa took off his cap

0:10:36 > 0:10:38'and came back to normal.'

0:10:38 > 0:10:40What have you been up to?

0:10:40 > 0:10:44I've been on a mission. It was tough, but I succeeded.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47And thank you for rescuing me from Doojit.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48I did what I could.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Teamwork, eh?- Teamwork!

0:10:50 > 0:10:53'Soon Grandpa was back in his normal clothes

0:10:53 > 0:10:55'and everyone was downstairs.'

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Grandpa!- Did I miss anything?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Yes! Granddad Gilbert's been telling

0:11:01 > 0:11:04brilliant stories about Captain Dumbletwit.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06I did meet him! I did!

0:11:06 > 0:11:10He was right here. He flew the spaceship and everything!

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Gilbert has a fantastic imagination. - How about we play?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17There's some wonderful old toys in here.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Oh! I remember this old boat.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23We could sail this on the pond!

0:11:23 > 0:11:27I love playing with boats! Will you play with us, Grandpa?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Em, maybe a bit later, Martha. I'm tired at the moment.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Tired?! But, Grandpa, you haven't done anything!
