0:00:02 > 0:00:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

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

0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:49Captain Dumbletwit was chewing cheerfully

0:00:49 > 0:00:52on a crunchy chocolate chip and cherry chunk bar

0:00:52 > 0:00:56and reading his Bobby Bombottom comic when it happened.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Wagh, wagh, wagh!

0:00:57 > 0:01:01It was Panicar, his alarm plant, panicking.

0:01:01 > 0:01:06'It was the holidays. Dad had taken Jemima away for a week

0:01:06 > 0:01:09'with the school choir. Grandpa and I

0:01:09 > 0:01:13'were reading the new Captain Dumbletwit story.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17'Aunt Loretta had come round to visit.'

0:01:17 > 0:01:19There goes the coconut...

0:01:19 > 0:01:23'She was making a coconut, curry and cucumber trifle as a treat for me

0:01:23 > 0:01:25'because Jemima was away.'

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Mmm...

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Oh, yum!

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Doojit whipped the comic out of the captain's hands

0:01:35 > 0:01:38and pointed wildly at the hysterical pot plant.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Captain Dumbletwit looked at the plant.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43"Whatever is the matter, Panicar?"

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Wagh!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47'Just then, Mum came down the stairs.'

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Surprise!

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Your finally going to find out about my new hobby.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57'Mum's always taking up new hobbies. One week it's karate,

0:01:57 > 0:01:59'then it's salsa dancing,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02'then cake decorating...

0:02:03 > 0:02:05'..the ukulele...

0:02:05 > 0:02:08'..knitting...

0:02:12 > 0:02:14'..opera singing...'

0:02:14 > 0:02:16# A-a-a-ah! #

0:02:17 > 0:02:20'..and now this.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24'I ripped off the paper and found a box all decorated

0:02:24 > 0:02:27'with Captain Dumbletwit characters.'

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Mum, this is brilliant!- I know!

0:02:30 > 0:02:34- A whole collection of made-up Captain Dumbletwit games!- Yes!

0:02:34 > 0:02:35Made up by me.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- There's Doojit...- Doojit, yeah!

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Panicar!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Wagh! Wagh!

0:02:41 > 0:02:45'Oh, yes. Mum's new hobby was making this...'

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Grandpa and I couldn't wait to get all the games out

0:02:52 > 0:02:54on the kitchen table.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, I say, what is it?

0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's a box of Dumbletwit games. Mum made it.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00New hobby.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Oh, Diabolical Dave, he's my favourite.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Wahaha!

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- What else have you got?- I'm just popping out. Another surprise.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Why don't you work out how to play the games while I'm gone?- OK, Mum.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19What's this? Oh, a magic trick!

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Ooh... This is lovely!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Stop fiddling, Loretta.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26I am not fiddling!

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Yes, you are. You're a terrible fiddler!

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Oh, you want to keep it all to yourself, don't you, Grandpa?

0:03:31 > 0:03:36- I do, do I?- That's right. Off you go for a little lie down.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37Sulky socks!

0:03:37 > 0:03:40'I knew what Grandpa was thinking.'

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Ooh!

0:03:42 > 0:03:46I won't have her interfering and messing everything up, Jason.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49I'm going to stop her from fiddling.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Catch me if you can!

0:03:54 > 0:03:56'You know when Grandpa shrinks,

0:03:56 > 0:03:59'he can make all sorts of things happen.'

0:03:59 > 0:04:00SCREECHING

0:04:00 > 0:04:05'He can make my car go... He can fly on Gordon, my toy seagull.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09'He can chuff about in our Sunnysands train.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14'He has great fun when he flies around in my toy plane

0:04:14 > 0:04:17'and he can run so fast, I can't catch him.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21'But today I saw him running into the kitchen.'

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Grandpa, come back!

0:04:23 > 0:04:28Ooh... Right, now, let's have a look. What do you do with this?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31'Grandpa climbed up onto the table...'

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Oops...

0:04:32 > 0:04:35'And jumped into the box.'

0:04:37 > 0:04:41'He stood next to Diabolical Dave and gave me the thumbs up.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44'I knew what Grandpa was planning.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47'He was going to dress up as Diabolical Dave to teach

0:04:47 > 0:04:49'Great Aunt Loretta a lesson.'

0:04:49 > 0:04:53I'm back! And look who I've brought.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Max!- Oh, hello, Max. Come and have a look at all this stuff.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58'Max is my little cousin.'

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Wow, I like him!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03I want Grandpa to play. Where is he?

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Oh, he's being a sulky socks and he's gone for a little lie down.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh...

0:05:09 > 0:05:13'But of course, Grandpa hadn't gone for a little lie down.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15'Grandpa had gone too far.'

0:05:15 > 0:05:18I'm sure he'll be up soon, Max.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22Oh, ooh... These are the instructions for the magic trick.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Let me show you, Max. This is how it works.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Right, first you take the bag and then you take Diabolical Dave...

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Let me try the trick!

0:05:33 > 0:05:34We need the magic wand.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, you're too young to do the magic trick.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38You'll never make it work.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Oh, give him a go, Loretta.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Oh...

0:05:42 > 0:05:44'Before I could do anything,

0:05:44 > 0:05:47'Max picked Grandpa up and put him in the back!'

0:05:48 > 0:05:52Now you have to say, "I'll wave my wand from here to here,

0:05:52 > 0:05:54"and Dave, you'll find, will disappear."

0:05:54 > 0:05:58I'll wave my wand from here to here and Dave, you'll find,

0:05:58 > 0:05:59will disappear.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Come on then. Open the bag.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Wait! You have to give the magic time to work.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Everyone outside. Come on. For a few seconds.- No, I want to...

0:06:08 > 0:06:10No, no, we need to wait...

0:06:10 > 0:06:14'This gave Grandpa time to escape.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19'He hid behind the box as we all came back in.'

0:06:22 > 0:06:25'Great Aunt Loretta grabbed the bag and shook it.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh!

0:06:28 > 0:06:29It's empty!

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yay, I made it work!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33MAX: I can do magic!

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Amazing!

0:06:35 > 0:06:38I'm going to go and tell Grandpa.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39Wait!

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Grandpa!- Wait!

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Let's play a game first. Then when he wakes up, you can

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- teach him how to play everything. - OK.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50It was Max's turn.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53How many squares would he get to move?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yes! Three.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Three, two, one...

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Lift-off, wheee!

0:07:02 > 0:07:04'He zoomed up on a space ship.'

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Well done, Max.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08'Poor mum landed on a space serpent,

0:07:08 > 0:07:10'so down she slid.'

0:07:10 > 0:07:11ALL: Aw...

0:07:13 > 0:07:16'Max was Captain Dumbletwit

0:07:16 > 0:07:17'I was Doojit,

0:07:17 > 0:07:19'Mum was Panicar the plant

0:07:19 > 0:07:23'and Great Aunt Loretta was Diabolical Dave.'

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Come on, Diabolical Dave!

0:07:25 > 0:07:33Ooh. One, two, three, four, five!

0:07:33 > 0:07:35And up we go!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Hey! You counted more than five.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- I did not!- Yes, you did. I saw you. You were there.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42THEY ARGUE

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I saw you skip that one!

0:07:45 > 0:07:48'While Great Aunt Loretta argued,

0:07:48 > 0:07:51'Grandpa moved back to where he should have been.'

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Who moved him?!

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Somebody moved him.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57I don't like cheating. I'm going to go and tell Grandpa.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00No-o-o!

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Grandpa?- Wait!

0:08:03 > 0:08:08- Let's try just one more game, eh? - OK.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12'So we played table hoops

0:08:12 > 0:08:15'while Mum got some juice and Jammy Jumbleys ready.'

0:08:15 > 0:08:20Ooh, don't forget my special coconut curry and cucumber trifle too!

0:08:20 > 0:08:25'The idea of the game was to throw a hoop over your chosen character.'

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I am aiming for Diabolical Dave. Oh...

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Missed!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31'Grandpa nearly got knocked over.'

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Let's see you do it, eh? Throw your hoop over Dave.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38'So Max threw his hoop and while everyone watched the hoop,

0:08:38 > 0:08:40'Grandpa moved.'

0:08:40 > 0:08:42..Not in a million years...

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Yes!- I did it! See, I did it!

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'm going to go and tell Grandpa!

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Have a Jammy Jumbley first, Max, eh?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Let's have it in the garden!- Fine.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55'So off we went into the garden, leaving Great Aunt Loretta

0:08:55 > 0:08:56'alone with Grandpa.

0:08:56 > 0:09:01'She threw the hoop and, this time, she saw Grandpa move.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04You moved! You moved out of the way.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05You cheated!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Yes, I did!

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm the biggest cheat in the universe, I am!

0:09:11 > 0:09:15I'm Diabolical Dave, ha-ha-ha!

0:09:16 > 0:09:21And you've been cheating all morning. Don't think you can beat me

0:09:21 > 0:09:22at cheating!

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Who are you?!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26You're real!

0:09:26 > 0:09:33Of course I'm real. I'm real and I'm ready to take over the universe!

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Ha-ha-ha!

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Wagh!

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Ah-ha-ha!

0:09:38 > 0:09:45Oh! Oh! I'm never going to touch that Space Serpents game again!

0:09:45 > 0:09:50Never! That Diabolical Dave, he's got it in for me, he has!

0:09:50 > 0:09:53He went, "Wagh!"

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Really, Loretta?

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Ooh...

0:09:56 > 0:10:01'I ran in to rescue Grandpa. He was already back in his own clothes.'

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Oh, you should have seen her, Jason! She was like this -

0:10:04 > 0:10:06"A-a-argh!"

0:10:06 > 0:10:10No time for that now, Grandpa. Come on.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12'So, I picked him up and put him in my pocket.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15'Then I picked up the Captain Dumbletwit clothes.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18'Grandpa took his shrinking cap off,

0:10:18 > 0:10:20'and came back to his normal size.'

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Well, we sorted Loretta out between us, Jason.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28- She won't cheat again.- Yes. Teamwork, I think they call it.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Teamwork!

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Right, better get these clothes back to the real Diabolical Dave.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44'Loretta was tucking into her trifle.'

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- I think you just got really into the game, Loretta.- I expect so.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52I've got a wonderful imagination, I have.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Want some?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Can I go and wake up Grandpa now?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Erm... Max?

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Oh...

0:11:01 > 0:11:04This time I am going to wake up Grandpa

0:11:04 > 0:11:06and you can't stop me!

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Max!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- MAX:- You're up!

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Ha-ha-ha!

0:11:13 > 0:11:17You've just got to play Space Serpents, Grandpa. It's amazing.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20And Max made Diabolical Dave disappear in the magic trick.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23And Diabolical Dave made Loretta disappear.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Exactly... Hang on. How do you know that, Grandpa?

0:11:27 > 0:11:32Oh... Well... You can always rely upon Dave to see somebody off

0:11:32 > 0:11:33with a "Wha-ha-ha!"

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Come on, let's go and play.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Right.- It's amazing. It's the best game ever...
