0:00:02 > 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 > 0:00:37Whoa!
0:00:37 > 0:00:38CRASH!
0:00:47 > 0:00:52'Today, Dad had brought me, Grandpa and my sister, Jemima,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56'to our favourite place. Our beach hut, on the beach.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01'We'd only been here for a few minutes, when who should we see
0:01:01 > 0:01:04'coming round the corner...'
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Whoops!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08'Mr Whoops!'
0:01:09 > 0:01:16'He's called Mr Whoops because he's always having little accidents.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- 'He falls over things...' - Oops!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- 'He falls off things...' - Whoa!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Whoops!
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- 'He even trips over his own feet.' - Whoops!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Ha-ha-ha!- Well, if it isn't Mr Whoops.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Mr Whoops, what have you got?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm doing my bit for Sunnysands, picking up litter.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Making the beach squeaky clean. Look, there's another bit.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Whoops! Oh, dear! I think I've twinged my back.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Sit yourself down, Mr Whoops.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'm so sorry. Thank you. You, too.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I can't believe I was so clumsy.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58What you need is a machine to help you pick up the litter.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Then you wouldn't have to bend your back.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05'Oh, yes. Grandpa was right. What he needed was...
0:02:09 > 0:02:13'Dad offered to take Mr Whoops back to his toy shop.'
0:02:13 > 0:02:17That's very kind, so long as it isn't any trouble.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I don't want to be any trouble.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21'Just then, who should turn up?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23'Mr Mentor the inventor.'
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Good afternoon, all!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28The very person to invent a litter picker!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30A litter picker? Tell me more.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36'Now, Mr Mentor the inventor lives in the lighthouse, in Sunnysands.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40'He's always coming up with really crazy inventions.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43'Like this, the grassy buggle-jumper.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47'Only the bugs liked it even more than he did.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'Then there's this, the automatic hair-o-static
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'that gives you a new hairstyle every day.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58'And this, the huffer-puffer pillow fluffer.'
0:03:00 > 0:03:01WHIZZ-BOOM!
0:03:04 > 0:03:08'Everyone loves going to visit him and trying things out.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14'And he likes trying out other people's inventions, too.'
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'd love to invent a litter picker for Mr Whoops.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19A fabudiculous idea!
0:03:19 > 0:03:23'Mr Mentor doesn't just invent things, he invents words, too.'
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Let's go to my lighthouse and see what we can do.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Poor Grandpa. You'll have to stay here as you can't manage the stairs.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- I'll just have a little lie-down in the beach hut.- OK.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Come on, Mr Mentor. - 'I knew Grandpa had no intention
0:03:39 > 0:03:44'of having a little lie-down. As soon as they turned their backs...'
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Catch me if you can!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55'When Grandpa shrinks, he can make my toys go.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59'He can get into my car and drive about, he can fly off in my plane!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02'He can chuff around in our Sunnysands train.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06'And he can even make Gordon, my toy seagull, fly!
0:04:06 > 0:04:11'Or, he can just run so fast that I can't keep up with him.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15'And this time, he'd done just that.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19'I had no idea where he'd got to.'
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Psssst!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Jason!
0:04:26 > 0:04:27See you later.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36'At the lighthouse, Mr Mentor was turning out box after box of stuff,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40'to see what he could find to make a litter picker.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45'Grandpa would surely be on his way, and I guessed how.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48'I needed to distract Jemima and Mr Mentor.'
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Mr Mentor, how about looking on that shelf, over there?- OK.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55'I managed to do that just in time,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57'and in flew Grandpa.'
0:05:04 > 0:05:09Oh, I don't know, perhaps there's something brillioso in here?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Let's have a look.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17'While they carried on looking, Grandpa started to have fun.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20'He climbed up onto a shelf and ran along it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22'Jumped...slid down...
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- 'and made a dingy thing, ping!' - PING!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27PINGING
0:05:27 > 0:05:28What's that?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Oh! It's my pinga-dinga-dong.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36It's never worked before. Now it's pinging and dinging and donging!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's amazing! What's it for?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42No idea. But it's working.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47'Just then, Grandpa made a whirly thing whirl!'
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Goodness...
0:05:49 > 0:05:53my whirly-wheely-whizzer is whirling, wheeling and whizzing!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Can it pick up litter? - It's not a litter picker.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00It's a whirly-wheely-whizzer. Quite different.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02'Grandpa then parped a horn,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06'and set a whole lot of other horns parping!'
0:06:06 > 0:06:07It's a miracle!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10My parpy-tootle-toot is parping and tootling!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15What's going on?
0:06:15 > 0:06:16No idea.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20You never know when an invention will start working, or why.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23'And just then, I saw Grandpa jump into something.'
0:06:24 > 0:06:29I've just has a spectopular idea! We can use this for the litter picker!
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Oh, I think we can do better than that, Mr Mentor.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Jason! Mr Mentor knows what he's doing.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- But there's nowhere to plug it in on the beach.- Quite right, Jason.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44'Grandpa got out of the grass box and ran.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48'Then he was standing next to a peculiar-looking bird,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50'and pointing at it.'
0:06:50 > 0:06:51We can use that bird.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54What is it?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58I'm a little litter picker! I'm a little litter picker!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It can peck up litter in its beak. Brilliant!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Hang on, it just spoke!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Probably. Things seem to have a life of their own today.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Oh, I think it will be wonderbubble. It needs a bit of work on the inside
0:07:12 > 0:07:17and a bit of work on the outside... knobs, levers and strings.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22But then, it will be the perfect little litter picker!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25'So, after a bit of work on the inside
0:07:25 > 0:07:29'and a bit of work on the outside, Mr Mentor had this...
0:07:30 > 0:07:33'It had knobs and levers and strings.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37'Mr Mentor walked around, showing us how it worked.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41'You pulled a lever and its head went down and pecked up the litter.'
0:07:41 > 0:07:43How wonderbubble is that, eh?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Spectopularly wonderbubble. - Fabudiculous!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Absolumply fabudiculous!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Let's ring Mr Whoops.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56'So I dialled Mr Whoops's number to tell him to come straight away.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59'And very soon, he arrived.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Whoa!
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Whoops!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Let me present you with the perfect little litter picker.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Ooh! I love it. I love it!
0:08:10 > 0:08:14'And Mr Whoops started to try out the litter picker.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16'But, you know what he's like...'
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Whoops!
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- Are you OK, Mr Whoops? - Yes, thank you. I keep tripping...
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Er, it's stopped working.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- I think something's snapped inside. - Oh, no! I've broken it!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38How could I be so clumsy?!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I'm sure it wasn't you, Mr Whoops. - I'm so sorry!
0:08:41 > 0:08:46'Grandpa had a plan. He jumped inside the litter picker
0:08:46 > 0:08:49'and tried to find out what had broken.'
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Hmm... Oh, Jason was right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58The string that makes his mouth work has snapped.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Well, I can fix that in the blink of an eye.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I think it's mended.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Mended? You clever boy. Let me see, Jason.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14'I didn't want to hand it back to Mr Whoops
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- 'because Grandpa was still inside.' - Hand it over.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23- Yes, I want to see it working again. - I'll be very careful this time.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27'To start with, Mr Whoops was very careful.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32'Jemima put down litter for the bird to pick up. And the bird said...'
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I'm the perfect little litter picker! I'm the perfect little litter picker!
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- Amazing! I can't believe it talks! - I don't remember inventing
0:09:41 > 0:09:45the talking bit. But there are so many things I don't remember
0:09:45 > 0:09:48because I invent all the time, you see?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49THEY LAUGH
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Who's a lovely litter picker, eh?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I am! I am!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I'm a lovely litter picker!
0:09:55 > 0:09:56THEY LAUGH
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Do you want a go, Jemima...whoa!
0:09:59 > 0:10:05'Now, as you know, when Grandpa gets into things, he can make them go.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08'So, now he was making the litter picker fly!
0:10:08 > 0:10:14'And he flew right out of the lighthouse window!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19'This time Grandpa had gone too far.'
0:10:22 > 0:10:27It's incredible, Mr Mentor. It talks AND it flies!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I don't remember inventing the flying bit?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33It's heading for the beach. Let's go!
0:10:33 > 0:10:38'The litter picker landed at the beach hut and Grandpa jumped out.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43'As we arrived, I just caught sight of him running for the beach hut.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47'So, as the others ran to the bird, I ran to Grandpa.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51'He was trying to find somewhere out of sight of the others,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53'to take his cap off.'
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Cap off, Grandpa, quick!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Well, Jason, Mr Whoop's got his litter picker,
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- and it's all down to us!- Yes Grandpa, I'd call that teamwork!- Teamwork!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08You should have seen it, Grandpa!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11'Later, Jemima couldn't stop talking about it.'
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- It was just amazing!- Mr Whoops was certainly very pleased.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19And it flew! Can you believe it flew, Grandpa?!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yes, I can. Mr Mentor is an excellent inventor.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24And it talked! It said...
0:11:24 > 0:11:30- I'm the perfect little litter picker! - Yes! Grandpa, how did you know?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Oh, I've known a lot of litter pickers. They all sound the same.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, Grandpa...
