0:00:02 > 0:00:06Both: Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Catch me if you can!

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Come down, Grandpa!

0:00:47 > 0:00:51'Sunnysands is called Sunnysands because it's sunny

0:00:51 > 0:00:54'and it's sandy and it's right by the sea.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58'I was spending the whole summer here with my little sister, Elsie.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01'We were staying with Auntie Jules and Uncle CJ

0:01:01 > 0:01:03at the Mill on the Marsh.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07'Auntie Jules had taken Elsie out to buy a new summer dress.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10'So, I got Grandpa all to myself.'

0:01:10 > 0:01:14- And so, a hero escapes from Bungle Island.- Yeah!

0:01:17 > 0:01:20'Uncle CJ was doing some last-minute tidying up.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23'Cos a new guest was about to arrive.'

0:01:23 > 0:01:25DOORBELL RINGS

0:01:25 > 0:01:29He's early. Oh, put that stuff away please, Josh.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Who's the new guest?

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Rodney Ramshackle. Very pleased to meet you!

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Rodney Ramshackle. Ramshackle, eh? Unfortunate name.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Why? What does it mean?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Well, ramshackle means you're all over the place.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47You know, chaotic, a mess. I hope he's not as bad as he sounds.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49In here, this room. Jolly good.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Can't. Seem to have got something caught.- I think he is.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Oh, what a fabulous place! - Come and meet the family.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Oh...oh dear!

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Pleased to meet you. Very pleased, indeed. Oh, yes.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06I can tell I'm going to be very happy here.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Are you planning to stay for a long time?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Oh! It's the cases...made you think...ha!

0:02:11 > 0:02:14No, these are all my souvenirs.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18- I'll show you. - Rodney's a souvenir salesman.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Beach huts.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Shells, seagulls. Ha-ha!

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Coloured sand. You name it, I've got it!

0:02:29 > 0:02:33'Yes, Rodney Ramshackle wanted everyone to buy

0:02:33 > 0:02:35'a souvenir of Sunnysands.'

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Looks like you've got a lot of souvenirs to sell, Rodney.- I have.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Mrs Ramshackle, that's my dear mother, she usually helps me,

0:02:45 > 0:02:47but she's poorly. She hurt her leg

0:02:47 > 0:02:50when she tripped over one of my glow-in-the-dark lighthouses.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53All my fault. She's had to stay behind.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Oh, dear. Sorry to hear that.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58So, to make up for it, I'm going to sell every single one

0:02:58 > 0:03:01of my souvenirs and I'm not going home till I do.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02We'd be happy to help.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Oh, no. No. I've got to do this all by myself.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08I can't have any help. For mother, you see?

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- I want to make her proud of me. Ha! - Best of luck.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15I know what to say. She's written all of the words down for me.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Now, I know I've got the piece of paper here somewhere.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21'Then, Rodney's phone rang.'

0:03:21 > 0:03:25That'd be mother, making sure I'm all right.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Hello, Mother, this is your Rodney.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30'Now, Rodney, my lovely boy, I want you to keep very calm.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32'Do you hear, Dearie?'

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- She wants me to keep very calm. - Yes, we heard.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38'Just concentrate really hard on the words, Dearie.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40'I know you can do it all by yourself.'

0:03:40 > 0:03:42She knows I can do it...

0:03:42 > 0:03:44All by yourself. Yes, we heard.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'll make you as proud as punch, Mum, I will. I promise.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51'Rodney was very nervous about doing this without his mum.'

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Yes. I will clean my teeth and I will wash behind both my ears. Bye!

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Right! I'd better get to Miss Smiley's Cafe.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00That's where I'm going to sell everything.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Well, Josh and I need to go to the cafe to pick up some cupcakes.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Would you like a lift in Campo? - Oh, no. That would be helping.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- And I'm not letting anyone help me. - Up to you.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Oh, no. I can manage. Here we go. - I'll see you out.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Ramshackle by name and ramshackle by nature.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22I think he is going to need some help, don't you, Grandpa?

0:04:22 > 0:04:25I do, but will have to help him without him knowing

0:04:25 > 0:04:30because he's determined to do it all by himself.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Good job I've got this!

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Catch me if you can!

0:04:36 > 0:04:40'When Grandpa shrinks, he likes to run and jump about

0:04:40 > 0:04:44'all over the place. And I just can't stop him.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49'He does loop-the-loops in Jason's plane.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52'He zooms around in the toy car.'

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Come back!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57'He chuffs about in the Sunnysands' train.

0:04:57 > 0:05:03'Today, he was going to take the helicopter but Uncle CJ came in.'

0:05:03 > 0:05:09I didn't know Grandpa was going for a little lie-down. Come on, Josh.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13'Now was Grandpa's chance. He took off and flew out of the window.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21'So, off we went in Campo. And Uncle CJ said...

0:05:21 > 0:05:24"We should've asked Grandpa if he wanted to come with us.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27"He doesn't get out much."

0:05:27 > 0:05:31'I didn't know what to say to that. So, I just said,'

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Windy today, isn't it? 'And it was windy.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38'When we arrived at Miss Smiley's Cafe, there was no sign of Grandpa.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43'Rodney Ramshackle was already there. And already causing chaos.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48'Ms Smiley's lovely niece, Jasmine, was trying to help him. But...'

0:05:48 > 0:05:53Thank you, Jas, but I'll do this all by myself. For Mother, you see?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55I want to make her proud.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58OK, Rodney. Whatever you say.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Ah, CJ! You've come for your cupcakes.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08How many was it you wanted? Erm, four.

0:06:08 > 0:06:13'I was worried about Grandpa. He should've been here by now.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17'The winds were very strong and he was finding it hard going.'

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Thanks, Jas. Come on, Josh, back to the Mill.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Erm... 'I had to wait for Grandpa, so, I needed an idea.'

0:06:24 > 0:06:29Can we have an ice-cream sundae, please? They look so yummy!

0:06:29 > 0:06:30They do, don't they?

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Go on. Why not?

0:06:33 > 0:06:38'At last, Grandpa arrived. By now, the cafe was full of customers.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43'He crept in while nobody was looking. Well, nobody except me.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45'And he was just in time

0:06:45 > 0:06:49'because Rodney Ramshackle was about to do his selling.'

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Come on, Rodney. You can do it.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Ladies and jelly babies, erm, gentlemen,

0:06:58 > 0:07:02today, I would like to show you all of my...

0:07:02 > 0:07:10Soup spoons...sou-sou-souvenirs! Souvenirs of, erm, where are we?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Breezy beach! Wafty waves!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Sunnysands.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Oh, that's not right, either. Oh, I've forgotten everything.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20I'm a hopeless souvenirs salesman. Hopeless!

0:07:20 > 0:07:27'Grandpa tried to get closer but then Rodney fell off the stage.'

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Rodney!- I saw something move! A mouse!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32In my auntie's cafe? Impossible.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35You're just getting yourself in the state, Rodney.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40'This was a disaster. Rodney Ramshackle had nearly seen Grandpa.

0:07:42 > 0:07:48- Let me help you.- No, you mustn't. I have to do this all by myself.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51'Grandpa needed to talk to me.' Grandpa!

0:07:51 > 0:07:56We knew Rodney would need help and we were right.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- But I can't think of how to do it. - If only he had his mother.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03It doesn't look like he can do anything without Mrs Ramshackle.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Josh, you're a genius! You've just given me an idea.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Now, this is what we'll do.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13'Uncle CJ and Jasmine were trying to calm Rodney down.'

0:08:13 > 0:08:18If I can't remember the words, then I won't sell any souvenirs.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24And then Mother will never be proud of me. I so miss Mother.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Why don't you just read the words off of the piece of paper?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33No. No, I'm supposed to know them.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Well, maybe I can read them for you. - No. That would be cheating.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Oh, I give up! Maybe, an ice-cream sundae would help.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45How many more times? I don't want any help!

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Oh, then, have one just for fun.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51'It was time to put Grandpa's plan into action.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55'He ran over to Rodney's suitcase. He was looking for something.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00'And he found it! Rodney's words! Grandpa was ready.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02'Now, it was up to me.'

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Rodney, what if you imagined your mother was with you?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08And you could hear her doing your speech?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Do you think that would help me remember the words?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15That's a great idea! You'll still be doing it all by yourself.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Why don't you give it a go?

0:09:17 > 0:09:20I will. I'll think really hard about Mother

0:09:20 > 0:09:24and imagine her saying the words in my head.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Is that what you mean, Josh? - Exactly!

0:09:27 > 0:09:29'Grandpa was standing by.'

0:09:31 > 0:09:36Ladies and gentlemen, today, I would like to show you, erm,

0:09:36 > 0:09:42- all of my lovely souvenirs of, erm...- Sunnysands, Dearie.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47- ..Sunnysands! I have some lovely, erm...- Lighthouses.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49..lighthouses that glow in the dark.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52And don't forget the pretty beach huts.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Pretty beach huts, which are also money boxes. Ha-ha!

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Do tell them about the cheeky seagulls.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Cheeky seagulls which would look rather nice...

0:10:01 > 0:10:05'And once he got going, he didn't need Mrs Ramshackle.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07'Grandpa had done it!'

0:10:07 > 0:10:12Cockle shells soaps. One, two, three, four. And much, much more.

0:10:12 > 0:10:18All at very reasonable prices. So, please, come and take a closer look.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23'Now, everyone wanted to buy Rodney's souvenirs.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27'Grandpa's job was done. So, he ran out of the cafe.'

0:10:30 > 0:10:36'He wanted to get home before we did.

0:10:36 > 0:10:41'And he managed it just in time.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43'Grandpa landed the helicopter.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46'Took off his shrinking cap.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48'And came back to his normal size.'

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Oh! Oh!

0:10:51 > 0:10:56'As soon as we got home, I ran in to find Grandpa.'

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Josh, we did it! You, me...

0:10:59 > 0:11:03..and Mrs Ramshackle. And it was all because of teamwork!

0:11:03 > 0:11:05BOTH: Teamwork!

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I bought a squeaky shark for Wulfy.

0:11:08 > 0:11:13And a fishy fridge magnet for you as a souvenir.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Perfect! It will always remind me of Rodney.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Grandpa, you're up. I'll make some tea and we can have cupcakes.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Oh, good! I'm thirsty. All that talking.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Rodney was brilliant. He sold all his souvenirs.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Oh, I'm glad it went well.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Well, it was a bit of a shaky start.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32But he didn't need any help at all in the end.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34His mother would've been proud.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Oh, yes, I'm very proud of my lovely boy

0:11:37 > 0:11:40because he did it all by himself.
