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 > 0:00:37Waaaay!

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

0:00:48 > 0:00:53Today we were having fun helping Mum with her latest hobby -

0:00:53 > 0:00:54making collages.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57We were making a picture of Sunnysands beach,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59when suddenly we heard...

0:00:59 > 0:01:00PHONE RINGS

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Who could that be?

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Mum went to answer the telephone.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hello?

0:01:08 > 0:01:09And who was it?

0:01:09 > 0:01:10Mr Mentor!

0:01:10 > 0:01:12It was Mr Mentor.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16Mr Mentor the inventor lives in a lighthouse in Sunnysands.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20He is always coming up with really crazy inventions.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24Sometimes Grandpa helps Mr Mentor make his inventions work.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Of course, Mr Mentor doesn't know about this.

0:01:28 > 0:01:33He thinks he invents all his amazing inventions by himself.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Today, Mum had some very strange news about Mr Mentor.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41He's giving up inventing!

0:01:41 > 0:01:43What?

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Mr Mentor's giving up inventing? But he can't! It's unthinkable.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Well, he says he wants to try something new.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53He's coming over to see us now to see if we can help.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56But everyone in Sunnysands loves Mr Mentor's inventions.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I know, Jemima, but he doesn't want to talk about them.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01He's had enough of inventing.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04We're not even to say the word "invention."

0:02:04 > 0:02:08'That's right, today there was to be...'

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Anyway, back to the collage.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18I've just had an idea for sun rays. Petals!

0:02:18 > 0:02:21'So, Mum went off to the garden to find petals.'

0:02:21 > 0:02:24That news has given me a bit of a shock.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27I think I better go and have a little lie down.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30'I knew what Grandpa was thinking.'

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Mr Mentor can't give up inventing, he's a wonderful inventor.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Especially when I help him.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40We've got to make him change his mind, Jason,

0:02:40 > 0:02:44and I've got a feeling the best way of doing that is by me being small.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Catch me if you can!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55You know what happens when Grandpa shrinks.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58He can get into my toy car and use his magic to make it go.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02He can chuff around in my Sunnysands train.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05He can even fly my toy plane around the room.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Today he jumped onto the sofa, and then onto the shelves.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Just then the doorbell rang. - DING DONG!

0:03:15 > 0:03:16I know who it is!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Grandpa quickly hid.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Mr Mentor!

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Yes, it's me. Me Mentor, not the inventor.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Isn't it wonderbubble?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Actually, we don't think it's wonderbubble at all.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30But I need a change. I'm tired of inventing.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32I want a fabadiculous new job.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I was rather hoping you could think of one for me.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I know! How about being a gardener?

0:03:37 > 0:03:40You can try it out in our garden. see if you like it.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44How brillioso! I'd love to be a gardener. What do I have to do?

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Oh, right!

0:03:45 > 0:03:48'So Jemima took Mr Mentor out to the garden,

0:03:48 > 0:03:51'and Grandpa jumped onto the sofa.'

0:03:51 > 0:03:57- Mr Mentor is an inventor, not a gardener.- But how are we going to make him see that, Grandpa?

0:03:57 > 0:04:00I know, I'll invent something,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03but Mr Mentor will think he's invented it.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07That way he'll see that inventing is much more fun than gardening.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Now, this is what we'll do.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14While Mum and Jemima were showing Mr Mentor how to plant seeds,

0:04:14 > 0:04:19Grandpa ran out into the garden and put his plan into action.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21- I'll leave you to it.- Oh, right!

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Don't forget to give the seeds a drink of water.

0:04:27 > 0:04:32'Grandpa stood behind the watering can and carefully lifted it up.

0:04:34 > 0:04:39'Mr Mentor was bound to be pleased with his new invention.'

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Uh! Ohhhh!

0:04:42 > 0:04:43No, no, no!

0:04:43 > 0:04:48I've accidentally invented a Whizzy-Woodlesome-Wonder-Waterer!

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Oh, I don't want to be an inventor. Aaaah!

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Mr Mentor, come back! It really isn't that bad.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57'I had to talk to Grandpa.'

0:04:57 > 0:04:59I'm afraid that plan didn't work, Grandpa.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03The invention wasn't spectopular enough, that's why.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05I've got to come up with something better,

0:05:05 > 0:05:07something that will persuade him

0:05:07 > 0:05:09that inventing is the best thing he can do.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11How about a talking invention?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Mr Mentor loves it when you make his inventions talk.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16You've got it, Jason!

0:05:16 > 0:05:17I can't be a gardener

0:05:17 > 0:05:21if I'm going to accidentally invent gardening equipment.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I want a different job. A job where I can't invent anything.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28'I went to find Mr Mentor and Grandpa followed.'

0:05:28 > 0:05:29OK...

0:05:31 > 0:05:35How about being a dog trainer? You can practise with Wulfy.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39How fabadiculous! I'd love to be a dog trainer. What do I have to do?

0:05:39 > 0:05:42'So Jemima told Wulfy to fetch his fluffy slipper.'

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Wulfy, fetch!

0:05:46 > 0:05:48'And sure enough, Wulfy fetched it.'

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Spectopular! Oh, let me have a go!

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Wulfy, come here!

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oh, fantastibal!

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Oh, yes. Now, Wulfy,

0:05:58 > 0:05:59sit!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Look! Now, Wulfy, roll over.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Oh, look at him! Splendid!

0:06:07 > 0:06:11'It was time for Grandpa to put his next plan into action.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13'While nobody was looking...

0:06:13 > 0:06:18'he crawled into the toe of the fluffy slipper.'

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful, I could give up inventing.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24No more inventing for me.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm going to be a dog trainer and train all the dogs in Sunnysands.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30'I soon found out what Grandpa's plan was.'

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Wulfy!

0:06:32 > 0:06:33Fetch your lead!

0:06:35 > 0:06:38'So Wulfy fetched his lead.'

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Oh, no, no, no. It's happened again!

0:06:42 > 0:06:45I've accidentally invented a superlipper talking slipper!

0:06:45 > 0:06:50'Mr Mentor hurled the slipper across the room. This was a disaster.'

0:06:50 > 0:06:52We all love your inventions!

0:06:52 > 0:06:55'The bad news was that Grandpa's plan had failed again.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59'But the good news was that he hadn't hurt himself.'

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I really tried my best with that invention.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I really thought Mr Mentor would like it.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Perhaps you could bring something to life.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Mr Mentor loves those inventions.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14You're right, he does. But in order to do that

0:07:14 > 0:07:17we're going to have to get Mum and Jemima out of the way.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Now, this is what we'll do.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24Oh, I can't be a dog trainer if I'm going to invent talking slippers.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25It's unbearabubble.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Excuse me, Mr Mentor, you're sitting on a beach hut.- What?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Beach hut. Oh!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32'While nobody was looking...

0:07:32 > 0:07:34'Grandpa ran into the kitchen

0:07:34 > 0:07:38'and hid behind the table leg and then I came in with Wulfy.'

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm afraid the superlipper talking slipper

0:07:40 > 0:07:42has made Wulfy think he's getting a walk.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'm sorry. My fault entirely.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47OK, Wulfy, just a quick one.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Anyone else want to come?- I will.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52I'll stay with Mr Mentor. I've got an idea for a job.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Best of luck. You're going to need it.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58I was thinking you could be an artist.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00That's your most brillioso idea yet.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I'd love to be an artist, what do I have to do?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Well, you can start by making a collage.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Fantastable. Oh, let's have a look in here.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11'Mr Mentor started choosing bits and bobs

0:08:11 > 0:08:17'while I took the Sunnysands beach picture of the easel.'

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Now, what shall I make a picture of?

0:08:19 > 0:08:24'So now I had to tell Mr Mentor what Grandpa had told me to say.'

0:08:24 > 0:08:26How about making a magic kingdom?

0:08:26 > 0:08:30With fairies and pixies and old wizards. Yes.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Definitely a wizard with a long whit beard.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35A wizard? How wizzywiddlesome.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Lets have a look in here, see what we've got.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42This piece of purple will be perfect for the wizards gown.

0:08:42 > 0:08:47'Then it wasn't long before Mr Mentor had created...this.'

0:08:47 > 0:08:50I have to admit, this is quite spectopular.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54'Now I had to get Mr Mentor out of the way for a few moments.'

0:08:54 > 0:08:57How about using real flower petal?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Like the ones Mum used for the sunrays. They're in the garden.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04Fabadiculous. Being an artist is much easier than being an inven...

0:09:04 > 0:09:06A you know what.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Quickly, Jason, now's your chance. You know what to do.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11OK, Grandpa.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14'So Grandpa started to climb up the easel.'

0:09:15 > 0:09:20'Mr Mentor picked petals and then came back to the kitchen.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24'He was just about to stick a petal on the picture when

0:09:24 > 0:09:25'suddenly he heard...'

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Ahem, ahem.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Argh!

0:09:29 > 0:09:30Oooh!

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- 'This time Grandpa had gone too far.'- Oh, no.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35No, I've gone and done it again.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39I've invented Mr Mentors Magical Moving Masterpiece.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh, why, oh, why can't I stop inventing things?

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Because you are a born inventor, that's why.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49No matter what other job you try to do

0:09:49 > 0:09:52You will always keep inventing.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55No point in trying to fight it, Mr Mentor.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57You are an inventor.

0:09:57 > 0:10:04Mr Mentor, the most remarkable inventor of them all.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Really? Oh, dear. You're making me go all pink.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11You know, Jason, this wise old wizard is right.

0:10:11 > 0:10:16I am a born inventor and an inventor I must stay.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19That's great news, Mr Mentor.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21'Grandpas plan had worked.'

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Please keep my inventions as a thank you.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28You've been absolumply marvelicious.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Now, I must get back to the lighthouse.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I just had lots of new ideas and I must go and invent them

0:10:33 > 0:10:35before they invent themselves.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37HE LAUGHS

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Best of luck. - Say hello to Grandpa for me.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41So sorry I missed him.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Bye!- Bye.

0:10:43 > 0:10:49'With that, Mr Mentor ran out of the door and back to the lighthouse.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52'Grandpa whipped off his beard, jumped down from the easel,

0:10:52 > 0:10:57'took off his shrinking cap and came back to his normal size.'

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Oh, that was hard work, but we got there in the end.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06Mr Mentor the inventor is here to stay all thanks to out team work.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Yes, Grandpa, team work.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10THEY LAUGH

0:11:11 > 0:11:15'A little later, Mum, Jemima and Wulfy came back.'

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Oh, Grandpa, you're up and about.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Where's Mr Mentor?- He's gone home.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22He decided to go back to being an inventor.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Oh, I'm so pleased.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I must show you his superlipper talking slipper, Grandpa.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- It can train dogs.- What, like this?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Wulfy, in your basket.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36yes, Grandpa. Anyone would think you'd invented it.
