0:00:00 > 0:00:02Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:00:04 > 0:00:05Catch me if you can!
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Grandpa!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17No! Be careful!
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Grandpa, stop!
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Waaaay!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50This is me, Jason Mason, and I live here in Sunnysands.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55It's called Sunnysands because it's always sunny and it's by the sea.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07This is Mr Whoops' toyshop, where you can buy anything and everything.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And here's Miss Smiley's cafe,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13which serves the best ice cream sundaes in the world!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16My dad loves working in his bike shop
0:01:16 > 0:01:20and we all love spending time at our beach hut on the beach.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23This is my house, where I live with my mum,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25dad,
0:01:25 > 0:01:26sister Jemima,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Grandpa
0:01:28 > 0:01:30and his dog, Beowulf.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Beowulf is a very clever dog and he loves playing games.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39In fact, we all love playing games
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and today we were playing table football.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Dad had borrowed a table football game for the weekend.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I was on the red team with Grandpa,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and Dad and Jemima were on the blue team.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55The whole family had got into the football mood.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Jemima had even dressed her dolls,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Peter and Persephone, in football kit.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Goal!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Grandpa, you scored again!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Well, I've always been good at football.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Shame you can't play anymore. - Yes, great shame.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13'Then Mum came into the garden. She'd just had a phone call.'
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I've just had a phone call.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Guess who's coming over... Cousin Alvin.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I told him about the table football, he can't wait to have a go.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- But I thought Alvin didn't like sport.- He didn't, but he does now.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Cousin Alvin is always changing.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Sometimes he's into playing music.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Sometimes he's into eating ice cream.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Sometimes he's into dancing.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And sometimes he's into lying about on the sofa,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48doing absolutely nothing.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53But now, Cousin Alvin was into this.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Sport, sport and more sport.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Don't overdo it, Alvin.- I'm OK.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I need to get really fit, so I can win at everything.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Oh, so you're into winning, are you?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Of course. There's no point in playing if you can't win.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17'Yes, this was the day we discovered that Cousin Alvin was...'
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Goal! That's another one.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27'And it wasn't long before Alvin was winning at table football.'
0:03:27 > 0:03:293-0! 3-0!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31'I knew what Grandpa was thinking.'
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Let's make it four!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I think I'll go for a little lie-down.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Goal!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I can't stand much more of this.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48We've got to make Alvin see that it's OK to lose.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50He'll never see that.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54He just might if my plan works, only I need to be small.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Catch me if you can!
0:04:03 > 0:04:08'You know when Grandpa shrinks he can get up to all kinds of things.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11'He can drive off in my car.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17'He can even fly off in my plane!'
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Grandpa!
0:04:26 > 0:04:30'He can chuff about in our Sunnysands train.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33'He can get into all sorts of very small places.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41'Or, he can just run for all he's worth.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44'And he wasn't the only one running.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48'Alvin was making everyone jog on the spot
0:04:48 > 0:04:52'to see who could keep going the longest. First Mum gave up.'
0:04:52 > 0:04:53I don't think I was meant to run.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- 'Then Dad.' - Sorry, I can't take any more.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01'And finally Jemima.'
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- You're too good, Alvin. - ALVIN: I knew I'd beat you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I am the champion!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11'It was time to put Grandpa's plan into action.'
0:05:11 > 0:05:13What game shall we play next?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Don't look at me. I'm worn out.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I think I'll go for a lie down like Grandpa.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22How about some real football? Or rugby?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24'I needed to get Alvin inside.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27'I needed an idea and I needed it fast.'
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- How about snap?- Snap?!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32'Might not have been my best idea.'
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- That's not a sport.- Are you saying you can't beat us at snap?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I could easily beat you at snap. Bring it on!
0:05:40 > 0:05:44'So we went inside and started playing snap.'
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Your turn, Jason. - No stopping allowed. Snap!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Ha-ha! You two are SO slow.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55'Alvin was winning again. If Grandpa was going to do something,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57'he needed to do it now.'
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Ow! Something just nipped me on the ankle.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Has Beowulf got fleas?- No!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06'Of course I knew it wasn't a flea. It was Grandpa.'
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Ow!- Snap!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- That's not fair! - You said no stopping allowed.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15But I'm being attacked by a pesky little flea!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm not playing any more. It's a baby's game.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Who cares about winning at snap? I want to play a proper sport.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- What else have you got?- 'Jemima suggested we play our tennis game.'
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Great! I'll easily beat you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38GRANDPA LAUGHS
0:06:38 > 0:06:42You got Alvin to lose, Grandpa. But he didn't find it fun.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's got to be worth another try.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Anyway, I'm rather enjoying being a pesky little flea.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54'So Mum got the tennis game out of the garage
0:06:54 > 0:06:58'and Jemima and Alvin started to play.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03'The pesky little flea ran into the garden and hid behind a flower pot,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07'right next to Alvin. I was worried Grandpa would be spotted,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10'but everybody had their eyes on the ball,
0:07:10 > 0:07:15'so they didn't see the flea creep out and nip Alvin on the ankle.'
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Ow! Ow! Ow! It's that flea again!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- I won!- No, you didn't. - I think she did, Alvin.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- I don't want to play any more.- Nor am I. You're such a bad loser!
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- I didn't even lose.- Yes, you did. - I'll make some lunch.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33'The good news was Jemima had won the game.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37'The bad news was that she and Alvin had fallen out.'
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You'd better stop being a flea, Grandpa.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It's made things worse and nobody's having fun.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Don't you worry, Jason. I've got a much better idea.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51You go and ask Alvin if he'd like to play table football with you.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'll do the rest.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02OK. I'll easily beat you at table football.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06As long as I don't get bitten again. You want to give that dog a bath.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08BEOWULF GROWLS
0:08:08 > 0:08:11'I went into the garden with Alvin.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16'I had no idea what Grandpa was planning until I saw this.
0:08:16 > 0:08:23'Grandpa had taken his clothes off and put Peter's football kit on.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26'This time Grandpa had gone too far.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29'He was pretending to be one of the footballers.'
0:08:29 > 0:08:35- Can I be the red team, please? - Yes, OK.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Ready to play?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Goal! 1-0!- Beginner's luck.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49'Luckily Alvin was so busy trying to win
0:08:49 > 0:08:53'he didn't notice that I had an extra player,
0:08:53 > 0:08:58'or that it was my extra player who was scoring all the goals.' 2-0!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- 3-0!- That was lucky.
0:09:09 > 0:09:114-0! Goal, goal, goal!
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- Oh! Five!- I've never seen anyone play like you.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- How do you do it?- I just relax and try to have fun.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- You mean, you don't care about winning?- Not really!- Weird.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Goal! 6-0. Yes!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Not caring seems to work.- Try it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45At 6-0 down, I'm willing to try anything. Let's go for it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49'We played on. Grandpa was doing a great job for my team
0:09:49 > 0:09:53'and as for Alvin, well, he started not to care so much.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57'The less he cared about winning, the more he started to have fun.'
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- Goal! At last. 6-1.- Good shot. - Thanks.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Goal!- Nice one, Jason.- Thanks.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16- I don't believe it.- Alvin's losing and he's enjoying himself.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- This was definitely worth waking up for.- Goal!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22That's it. You've won, Jason.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I don't know how he does it. He's an incredible player.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Well done, Alvin.- Have some lunch. - 'I couldn't tell him
0:10:29 > 0:10:32'that the incredible player was Grandpa.'
0:10:32 > 0:10:36I enjoyed that, but I'd better get changed now.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40'I picked Grandpa up, put him in my pocket and rushed back in doors.'
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I'm sorry I was so annoying earlier, Jemima.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I just wanted to win too much. - That's OK.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49We can play table football again after lunch, if you like.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Great, I'll easily beat you at table football. Only joking!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56'I put Grandpa down on the floor,
0:10:56 > 0:11:01'he whipped off his shrinking cap and came back to his normal size.'
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Oh! Oh, we did it, Jason.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08We got Alvin to have fun even when he was losing.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Team work, eh? - Yes, Grandpa, team work!
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Oh, Grandpa, you've woken up! - You missed a great game.- Did I?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25We're going to play again. Do you want to join us?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Oh, no thank you, Alvin, I'm a bit too tired to play football.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Oh, Grandpa! You don't have to actually play. You're so funny!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Come on, Alvin!
