0:00:02 > 0:00:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Catch me if you can.
0:00:08 > 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 > 0:00:51Our town is called Sunnysands because it's always sunny
0:00:51 > 0:00:52and it's by the sea.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56This is my dad's bike shop
0:00:56 > 0:00:58and this is Mr Whoops's shop
0:00:58 > 0:01:01which is the best toy shop in the world.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Here's Miss Smiley's cafe
0:01:04 > 0:01:06and this is our house.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Today, cousin Alvin was staying with us
0:01:10 > 0:01:12because it was the school holidays.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Captain Dumbletwit?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Where are you? The alien poodles are invading.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Captain Dumbletwit off to have his breakfast.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24You are obsessed with Captain Dumbletwit.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Of course we are, we love him and Dujit.- And Panica.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29BOTH: Wah!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Sorry about this, Alvin. - Who's Panica?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Captain Dumbletwit's pot plant. - She panics when there's a problem.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37BOTH: Wah!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42There'll be Dumbletwit games in Mr Whoops's shop.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I must get my stuff. I'm late.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46BOTH: Wah!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50'Alvin was looking after Mr Whoops' shop today because Mr Whoops
0:01:50 > 0:01:52'had gone to visit his mum.'
0:01:52 > 0:01:54You'll need our help.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55No, I won't, Grandpa.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Of course you will. You might have an accident.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I never need help.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I can do it all on my own.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04'So that was that, then.'
0:02:04 > 0:02:06See you later.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11'Today, there would be no help for Alvin.'
0:02:11 > 0:02:16There is no way that Alvin will cope in that shop on his own, Jason.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19He'll have more accidents than Mr Whoops. I'm going too.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Catch me if you can.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29'When Grandpa shrinks, he can get up to all kinds of mischief.'
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Grandpa!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34'He can get into my car and make it go.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36'He can fly off in my toy plane.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41'Today, he got into our Sunnysands train and was chuffing about.'
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Grandpa, come back.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Ooh! Jason, you never grow out of playing with that.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54'This time, Grandpa had gone too far.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58'In fact, he was off to the toy shop in our Sunnysands train.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02'I knew I was going to find some way of getting there too
0:03:02 > 0:03:04'to help Grandpa.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10'Alvin was putting some puzzles on shelves when Grandpa ran in.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12'Then he went out for more toys
0:03:12 > 0:03:16'and Grandpa decided to explore.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20'When Grandpa's in Mr Whoops's shop, he always has
0:03:20 > 0:03:23'the most wonderful time.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27'Because Mr Whoops's toy shop
0:03:27 > 0:03:30'is Grandpa's favourite place in the whole world.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36'And he always finds something new to play with.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45'Today, he found himself next to a little clockwork one-man band.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49'and he couldn't resist setting him off along the shelf.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54What?!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57How did you...? Who wound you?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00'Alvin didn't know who set off the one-man band.'
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Hello.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05'Grandpa hid, but accidentally knocked a puzzle off the shelf.'
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What's going on?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10'But at that moment, who should appear?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12'Mrs Maridadi.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17'Mrs Maridadi is always making costumes.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21'In fact, she makes costumes for everyone in Sunnysands
0:04:21 > 0:04:25'and today, she'd made some Captain Dumbletwit costumes
0:04:25 > 0:04:27'for Mr Whoops to wear in his shop,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29'but she wasn't happy.'
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I don't believe Mr Whoops isn't here.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Why did he choose today to visit his mother?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- He knew- I- was coming.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Sorry, Mrs Maridadi, but he'll love the costumes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'm sure, darling, but I need to see if they fit.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Well, you'd better come back another day.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47When he's here.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Oh, no. That will never do.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Come here, darling. Let me take a closer look at you.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57'She was up to something.'
0:04:57 > 0:05:01You're about the same size as Mr Whoops. He's a bit wobblier
0:05:01 > 0:05:03than you in some places,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- but...- But what?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07You can try the costumes on.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09'Now Grandpa knew what she was up to.'
0:05:09 > 0:05:13If they fit you, they're sure to fit Mr Whoops.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Don't stand there with your jaw on the floor. Come on.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21'So Mrs Maridadi took Alvin out to the back
0:05:21 > 0:05:22'with a basket of costumes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26'And before long, he was dressed like this.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29'Panica the pot plant.'
0:05:29 > 0:05:35Darling, though I say it myself, it is the perfect Panica costume.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38'Grandpa just couldn't help laughing.'
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Go on. Do the actions.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Wah!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- WEAKLY:- Wah!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Oh, more oomph, darling. More oomph. WAH!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52WAH!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55'But Mrs Maridadi hadn't finished. Oh, no!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58'Soon she had poor Alvin dressed like this.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00'Dujit.'
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Now, that, darling, that is spectacular.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07'Dujit is Captain Dumbletwit's alien pet.'
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You look more like Dujit than Dujit.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well, go on, darling. Do the Dujit jiggle.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19'So Mrs Maridadi did the jiggle and Alvin tried and Grandpa joined in.'
0:06:19 > 0:06:21More oomph.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24'So Alvin did the jiggle with more oomph,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26'but it wasn't over for him yet.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29'There was more to come.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33'Soon, Mrs Maridadi had Alvin dressed like this -
0:06:33 > 0:06:35'an alien poodle.'
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Oh, yes.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Oh, perfect.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Now, howl, darling.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48The alien poodles howl at the moon, remember? Like this...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yow-w-w-wl! Go on.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Yow-oo!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Look, I really don't...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59No. Much more oomph, darling. YOW-W-W-WL!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03YOW-W-W-W-WL!
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Not so much oomph, darling. You're not an alien wolf.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10You're an alien poodle. Right.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'm going to fold everything up for Mr Whoops.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14'Meanwhile, back at home,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18'I was worried about how I was going to get Grandpa back.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19'I needed a plan.'
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Mum, don't you think we should check on Alvin?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Absolutely, Jason. We'll go now.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29He didn't want any help, but I think he might like a lift home in Campo.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33'Brilliant! My plan had worked.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36'So off I went with Mum to the toy shop. Meanwhile...
0:07:36 > 0:07:40'Alvin wanted out of his alien poodle costume.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45'But just then, in came Floyd, Dora and Shanay.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Yeah, yeah. Very funny(!)
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Why are you dressed as a poodle?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Can you go yow-w-wl?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Just stop, OK? Stop. It's not funny.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's the funniest thing.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01'Alvin wouldn't be taken seriously dressed as a poodle
0:08:01 > 0:08:02'and just then...'
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- CRASHING - < Help!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08< I've had a little accident.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10'And at that moment, this happened.'
0:08:10 > 0:08:14# I've got bells on my legs I've got cymbals on my knees
0:08:14 > 0:08:18# And I play my little tune by giving this a squeeze
0:08:20 > 0:08:22# I do it on my own
0:08:22 > 0:08:26# I don't need a helping hand no, I do it all alone
0:08:26 > 0:08:28# Because I'm a one-man band
0:08:28 > 0:08:30# I can sing, I can play
0:08:30 > 0:08:35# I can march the day away cos I'm a one-man band. #
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Whoa, it sings.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I got attacked by a party box.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45'Grandpa didn't want Mrs Maridadi to see him. Not yet.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Crashing and singing?!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It was the one-man band.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50The clockwork toy.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52CHILDREN: It was right there.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56You're giving me a headache.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Go, all of you. Go.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'll get you some water.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05'While Alvin was getting the water, Grandpa seized his chance
0:09:05 > 0:09:08'to get rid of Mrs Maridadi
0:09:08 > 0:09:12'so Alvin wouldn't have to try on more costumes.'
0:09:12 > 0:09:16# I've got bells on my legs I've got cymbals on my knees
0:09:16 > 0:09:20# And I play my little tune by giving this a squeeze
0:09:22 > 0:09:24# I do it on my own
0:09:24 > 0:09:27# I don't need a helping hand no, I do it all alone
0:09:27 > 0:09:29# Because I'm a one-man band
0:09:29 > 0:09:31# I can sing, I can play
0:09:31 > 0:09:37# I can march the day away cos I'm a one-man band. #
0:09:41 > 0:09:44'Mrs Maridadi was amazed,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49'but when Grandpa jumped down and started to march around the floor,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51'it was all too much for her.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57Stop it. Stop it, you little music man. Stop!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Aah!
0:09:59 > 0:10:03There's a clockwork one-man band crashing
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and squeezing and chasing...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Aah!
0:10:10 > 0:10:15'I saw Grandpa disappear behind the dolls' house, but then...'
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Oh, Alvin, how very...original.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25I wanted to give the kids some fun. They loved it. Yow-w-wl!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28You didn't need any help after all.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The least I could do is help you with that chair.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35'When Mum and Alvin went out, Grandpa came out of his hiding place
0:10:35 > 0:10:39'and was back in his own clothes. I quickly picked him up...'
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Time to get you home, Grandpa.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I was wondering when you'd turn up to help.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I can't do it all on my own, you know. Ha-ha.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50'..and put him in my pocket.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55'Alvin got out of his alien poodle costume and came home
0:10:55 > 0:10:57'with us in Campo. When we arrived,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00'I ran ahead in front of the others, I put Grandpa down,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02'he whipped off his shrinking cap
0:11:02 > 0:11:05'and came back to his normal size.'
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Thanks for coming to get me.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'd never have got home without you.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- I knew he'd never manage on his own. - Teamwork.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Teamwork. Ha-ha!
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Hi, Grandpa.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I told you I wouldn't need any help.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You managed on your own, did you?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Like a one-man band, eh?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26# I can sing I can play
0:11:26 > 0:11:28# I can march the day away
0:11:28 > 0:11:30# Because I'm a one-man band. #
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I've heard that before.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Yes, but with a little more oomph, I suppose.
