0:00:01 > 0:00:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

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 > 0:00:37Woah!

0:00:37 > 0:00:38CRASH

0:00:47 > 0:00:51It was Saturday and there was great excitement in our house.

0:00:51 > 0:00:56Mum and Dad were going to a wedding, so guess who was looking after us?

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Haven't you left? You should be gone by now!

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Great Aunt Loretta, Grandpa's sister.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06- It's OK, we've plenty of time. - What if there's a traffic jam

0:01:06 > 0:01:10- or Campo breaks down?- Campo never breaks down.- Go! Go! Go!

0:01:10 > 0:01:12And take the present!

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Bye!- Bye!- Bye! See you later.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Don't hurry back!

0:01:21 > 0:01:25And with that, Great Aunt Loretta ran upstairs.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29She's up to something. I can smell it.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- I'm ready.- Ready for what?

0:01:33 > 0:01:40- Ready to carry out my great plan! - Not-so-great plan, more like.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Yes! This was the day we found out about...

0:01:49 > 0:01:54I'm going to give Mum and Dad a surprise and decorate this room.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58- You can't do that!- I can! This needs livening up!

0:01:58 > 0:02:02We need bright colours, fancy patterns.

0:02:02 > 0:02:07- It needs no such thing!- You'll like it. I'm getting someone to help.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12Somebody who knows all about decorating.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13An expert.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- An expert?- Yes, Roger.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- ALL: Roger? - Yes. Roger Sploger.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21ALL: Roger Sploger?!

0:02:21 > 0:02:25We need to cover everything. Jemima, help me find some dust sheets.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30And you, Jason. Hurry up! Roger Sploger will be here soon!

0:02:30 > 0:02:32I knew what Grandpa was thinking.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35It's not a great plan. It's terrible.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Roger Sploger has to be stopped.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Catch me if you can!

0:02:45 > 0:02:50When Grandpa shrinks, there's no knowing what he'll get up to.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52He runs so fast I can't catch him.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55He can fly on Gordon, my toy seagull.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00He can even chuff around in our Sunny Sands train.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04And he can hide in very small places.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06They're coming back. Hide!

0:03:09 > 0:03:14- You can't take the sheets off our beds!- I'll put them back after!

0:03:14 > 0:03:19Where's Grandpa? Gone for a lie down, I suppose.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23It's just as well, he'd only get in the way. And so will you.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25And so will you.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Go on! All three of you. Go play in the garden.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31THEY PROTEST

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Go! Go!

0:03:33 > 0:03:37You can come back when it's all done.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Soon, Roger Sploger arrived.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Right. Got my paintbrush at the ready. Let's get started.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51Hold your horses. Got to clear the place first.

0:03:51 > 0:03:58- Now, you put all those ornaments... - ..into the box!

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- I know what I'm doing. I'm an expert.- Ooh.

0:04:01 > 0:04:07This was a disaster! Roger Sploger was taking things off the shelves

0:04:07 > 0:04:11where Grandpa was hiding! There was no time to escape.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Any moment, Roger would see him!

0:04:13 > 0:04:15And he did!

0:04:15 > 0:04:21Ooh. Oi, Loretta, come and look at this awful ornament.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26They've got lots of awful ornaments. Put it in the box.

0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Right, let's start with... - ..some wallpaper.- Ooh.

0:04:37 > 0:04:43I've got some smashing papers for you to choose from. I'm an expert.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48Roger Sploger and Great Aunt Loretta were so busy looking at wallpaper,

0:04:48 > 0:04:51they didn't notice Grandpa peering out of the box.

0:04:51 > 0:04:58Difficult to choose. They're all so gorgeous!

0:04:58 > 0:04:59I know!

0:04:59 > 0:05:03- We'll have all three!- That's just what I was going to say.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07- And we'll have them in.. - ...stripes!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10I'm an expert at stripes, I am.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Grandpa didn't like this. He knew it would look horrible.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18- He had to do something. - Right. Right.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22You cut some lengths of paper, I'll mix the paste.

0:05:22 > 0:05:27- Great! You can be my helper. - No, you can be mine.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33It was time for Grandpa to put his plan into action.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39He wanted to do something to stop Roger being able to get on.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45So, he pushed a roll of wallpaper onto the floor.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Roger Sploger was a bit confused.

0:05:51 > 0:05:56Then Grandpa pushed another roll onto the floor.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Roger Sploger was even more confused.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Then Grandpa pushed another one!

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Ha!- Roger Sploger went back to the coffee table.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Grandpa hid behind a paint pot.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Any moment, Roger would see him!

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- And he did!- Hold on.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27I know I put you in the box.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28What's going on?

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Meanwhile, we were watching Great Aunt Loretta mix the paste.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44Don't you know it's rude to stare? Go away! Shoo!

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Strange things going on.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52First the wallpaper rolls off the table all by itself,

0:06:52 > 0:06:57- now I've got a moving ornament.- We don't have time to bother with that.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01We've got a whole room to decorate. Come on!

0:07:04 > 0:07:08While Great Aunt Loretta and Roger carried on,

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Grandpa jumped out of the box again and hid behind the paste.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I shall do the pasting.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Grandpa pushed the paste pot with all his might.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Whaa!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Ooh. Hey!

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Oh, don't just sit there! Help me up!

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Great Aunt Loretta had hurt her foot.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35Soon, Roger had found some frozen chips to put on it

0:07:35 > 0:07:37because he couldn't find any peas.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42- Forget the wallpaper. I know what'll be quicker.- We'll paint the walls!

0:07:42 > 0:07:45We'll have bright orange on this wall.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47- And deep purple on this wall.- Ooh!

0:07:47 > 0:07:50BOTH: They're my favourite colours!

0:07:50 > 0:07:54But they weren't Grandpa's favourite colours.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58He needed to stop Roger Sploger before it was too late.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03While Roger was stirring paint, Grandpa jumped onto the shelves

0:08:03 > 0:08:05behind Great Aunt Loretta.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Show me the colour. I want to see if it's bright enough.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14Roger Sploger brought the pot of paint to show Great Aunt Loretta.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Grandpa was standing in his ornament pose.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21This time he WANTED Roger to see him. And he did!

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Ooh.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Ahh!

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Ahh!- Ohh!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30I look like a giant satsuma!

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Some expert you are!

0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's not my fault! It's that ornament. It moved again!

0:08:35 > 0:08:41- I'm sick of you and your ornaments. What ornament? Where is it?- There.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- What?- It's gone again! - That's because it was never there!

0:08:45 > 0:08:47You're imagining things.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51I'm going to clean myself up in the...(toilet).

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Great Aunt Loretta never says "toilet" out loud

0:08:54 > 0:08:57because she thinks it's rude.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00And you're going to start painting!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02But Roger Sploger wasn't going to paint,

0:09:02 > 0:09:05he was going to look for the ornament.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Right! Show yourself!

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Where are you? You horrible little...

0:09:10 > 0:09:12This time, Grandpa had gone too far.

0:09:12 > 0:09:18The ornament was running from one hiding place to another.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Out you come. Out you come.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Any minute, Roger would catch him.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27I've tracked you down. I'm an expert ornament tracker, I am.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48We couldn't stay outside any longer.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50What are you looking for?

0:09:50 > 0:09:55It's this ornament. It's a little old man and it keeps moving!

0:09:55 > 0:10:00It's been giving me the wim-wams all morning. It made me spill paint!

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I think it's alive!

0:10:03 > 0:10:05You think an ornament is alive?

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Then Grandpa ran through the kitchen.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Jemima, why don't you check on Great Aunt Loretta?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'll look after Mr Sploger.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Weird stuff is happening. Nobody believes me.- I do.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Weird stuff happens here all the time!

0:10:23 > 0:10:28I think the house is telling you it doesn't want to be decorated.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30You really think that?

0:10:30 > 0:10:35If I were you, I'd leave before anything weirder happens.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Just try and stop me! I'm off!

0:10:38 > 0:10:41You can do your decorating yourself!

0:10:41 > 0:10:44And with that, Roger ran out of the door.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48As soon as he'd gone, Grandpa came out of his hiding place.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Cap off, Grandpa, quick!

0:10:52 > 0:10:56He took off his shrinking cap and came back to his normal size.

0:10:56 > 0:11:01Smart thinking, Jason! We stopped Loretta and Roger ruining our home.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Teamwork, eh? - Yes, Grandpa! Teamwork!

0:11:04 > 0:11:06THEY LAUGH

0:11:06 > 0:11:09We cleared up, we put everything where it belonged,

0:11:09 > 0:11:11just before Mum and Dad came home.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16Everywhere looks clean and tidy. Somebody's been busy.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18I've got to get out of this suit.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21And I've got to get out of this ridiculous dress.

0:11:23 > 0:11:28That's the last time I get in an "expert", I can tell you.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32I'm glad to hear it. Roger Sploger was a nightmare!

0:11:32 > 0:11:36How would you know? You never even met him!
