0:00:02 > 0:00:04- BOTH:- Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Catch me if you can!
0:00:09 > 0:00:10TYRES SCREECH
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Come down, Grandpa.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Ha-ha!
0:00:28 > 0:00:29- BOTH:- Oh!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Grandpa!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- ELSIE:- It was a quiet day at the Mill on the Marsh.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53There were no guests staying.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Auntie Joyce and Uncle CJ had taken Wulfy for a long walk.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01And my cousin Jason was going to take Josh fishing.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- Got the bucket.- Great.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07'I was making Captain Dumbletwit puppets with Grandpa.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:09What do you think, Elsie?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Captain Dumbletwit to the rescue!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Oh! That's great, Grandpa.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17'We were going to do a Captain Dumbletwit puppet show.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20'I was going to be alone with Grandpa all day.'
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Cooee!- 'Or maybe not.'- Oh...
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- It's only me!- 'It was Great Aunt Loretta, Grandpa's sister.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:31I've come to do a bit of spring cleaning to help out.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Well, we're off fishing. So good luck, you two.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Bring back a nice big fish.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43I'll make a fish pie with orange jelly. Yum!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47You two will have to move out, because I want to clean in here.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Look what I've made.- That is horrid.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- No, it isn't. It's a space spider. - Space spiders are friendly.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Oh. I hate spiders, especially big ones like that. Now, come on!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Shoo. Come on, shoo!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Yes. This was the day when...
0:02:08 > 0:02:12'Soon, we'd got everything out in the sitting room,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16'and I had made some more space spiders for our play.'
0:02:16 > 0:02:19These spiders are fantastic, Elsie.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24I don't even want to hear the word "spiders", thank you very much.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Loretta, this is Sunnysands. There aren't any nasty spiders here.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31These are just pretend.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Come on, on the balcony. Both of you. I need to clean in here.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41If you're not careful, I will suck up your friendly space spiders!
0:02:43 > 0:02:44SHE HUMS
0:02:44 > 0:02:49'So, we set everything up on the balcony and I made even more
0:02:49 > 0:02:53'space spiders and then we started to practise our play.'
0:02:53 > 0:02:58I'll get you, Dumbletwit. I'll take over the universe.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Ooh, no, you won't, Diabolical Dave.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Because I am going to call on my friendly space spiders.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Space spiders, weave your webs.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We're weaving, Captain, we're weaving.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16BOTH: Weave, weave!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Well, you'll have to go and weave in the kitchen.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25I need to be in here. I don't want spiders mucking up the sitting room.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Eugh. There's even more of them.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32How many spiders do you need for this play? Go on.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Shoo.- Oh, come on.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38'And soon, we had made even more space spiders.'
0:03:40 > 0:03:43The more the better for our story, Elsie. And look.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I've made Doojit.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49'Doojit is Captain Dumbletwit's alien pet.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53'Soon, Great Aunt Loretta had finished cleaning upstairs.'
0:03:53 > 0:03:56# With a little bit of luck
0:03:56 > 0:03:59# You won't get it stuck
0:03:59 > 0:04:01# Suck up the muck
0:04:01 > 0:04:02# Suck up the muck... #
0:04:02 > 0:04:07'In the kitchen, we were making up more and more of our play.'
0:04:07 > 0:04:12So, Doojit, my trusty alien pet. Round up the spiders.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15We're off to save the universe.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Spiders, ready to go, Captain.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23We're here. Here. We're here, we're ready.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Stand by for take-off, spiders.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31That's all I ever hear. Spiders, spiders, spiders! Eugh!
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Now, I'm going to clean in here, so off you go.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Outside, the pair of you. And take all those awful spiders.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Really, Loretta.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- You are impossible.- I want you gone by the time I get back.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- I'm going to the... - SHE MOUTHS
0:04:48 > 0:04:51'Great Aunt Loretta can't say "toilet" out loud
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- 'cos she thinks it's rude.' - Come on, Elsie.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57At least you can't suck up the muck outside.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59'But just then, we heard...'
0:04:59 > 0:05:00LORETTA SCREAMS
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Now what?- A spider! A spider
0:05:03 > 0:05:07that's the size of a dustbin lid in the toilet. Oh.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- It can't be that big, Loretta. - Ummmm! It's humongous.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14'Great Aunt Loretta shut herself outside
0:05:14 > 0:05:18'and Grandpa picked up a duster and went to rescue the spider.'
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's OK, Great Aunt Loretta.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It's more scared of you than you are of it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I very much doubt that, Elsie. Ah! He's coming back.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Oh!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32'Grandpa has carefully rescued the spider in a duster.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34'He put it in a flowerpot.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Calm down, Loretta. It is not going to hurt you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42'While Grandpa helped her down we didn't notice this.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48'The spider jumped out of the pot and ran back into the kitchen.'
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I'm going back in. You come in and get that box, Elsie.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59I do not want any more spiders in here. Go along. Out.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'm going to shut the door.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Oh.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Right. Now, perhaps I can get on.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18'We set all our puppets on the table in the courtyard,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22'while Great Aunt Loretta started cleaning the kitchen.'
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- But suddenly...- Aarghh!
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Oh, not again!
0:06:27 > 0:06:32It's back. It's back. Or else he's got a friend. Oh!
0:06:32 > 0:06:36It's there, it's there. Now get rid of it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I must clear up the guest bedrooms.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Find it and get rid of it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Honestly. There's no way a Sunnysands spider is ever going to do any harm
0:06:48 > 0:06:50to anyone.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I suppose we'd better look for it.
0:06:53 > 0:06:59'We had no idea where the spider had gone. We couldn't find it anywhere.'
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh, it's no good, Elsie. I can't see it anywhere.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07'Upstairs, Great Aunt Loretta had cleared some cups
0:07:07 > 0:07:09'from the guest bedroom.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13'She was just about to put them into upsy-downsy when she saw it.'
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Aargh!
0:07:15 > 0:07:20'The spider scuttled down onto the floor.'
0:07:20 > 0:07:22He must have found his way upstairs.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25There's only one way to see the spider off.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Catch me if you can.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35'When my Grandpa shrinks, he can get up to all kinds of tricks.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38'He can hide in really small places.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41'His magic can make things go.'
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Come down, Grandpa.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51'And sometimes he dresses up as things and that was his plan today.'
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Where are you, Grandpa?- I'm here.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Give me that space spider, Elsie, quick.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- Now you go upstairs and look after Loretta.- OK, Grandpa.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- 'Then Grandpa crawled under the space spider.'- Ha-ha! Perfect.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Watch out, Mr Spider. Here I come.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15'And he scuttled out of the room and up the stairs.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20- 'And Great Aunt Loretta was still scared.'- Oh, get rid of it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- It's following me. - Where did it go, Great Aunt Loretta?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Over there, that way.- 'Just then I saw Grandpa the spider.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33'I showed him which way the real spider went. And the chase was on.'
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's OK, Great Aunt Loretta.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39'At that moment, I saw the spider go into a mousehole.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42'And Grandpa followed.'
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I really think you should get down, Great Aunt Loretta.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48But it's on the loose. It's on the loose.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51'And the spider was on the loose,
0:08:51 > 0:08:57- 'being chased by Grandpa under the floorboards.'- I'm coming to get you.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Oh, he's gone now. We haven't seen him for ages.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05But as soon as Great Aunt Loretta put her foot on the floor,
0:09:05 > 0:09:06out he came.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Aargh! It's there. Oh!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13SHE WHIMPERS
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- It's after me. I know he is. - 'And then, she did this!'
0:09:18 > 0:09:21SHE SCREAMS
0:09:24 > 0:09:27'Grandpa chased the spider out of the room
0:09:27 > 0:09:29'and all the way down the stairs.'
0:09:29 > 0:09:33It's gone, Great Aunt Loretta. I promise you, it's gone.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I just saw it go.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39'And then, Grandpa chased the spider right out of the kitchen door.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43'Just as Josh and Jason came home.'
0:09:47 > 0:09:53- Wow! What a huge spi...- It's me! - Grandpa?- What are you doing?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's a long story. Oops!
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Ooh, Jason. Am I glad to see you?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Oooh. Ohhh!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05We, erm...caught a huge fish.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I bet it wasn't as big as the spider that I've seen today.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13It was humongous. It was in the... (toilet).
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Oh, have some green gloop. That'll calm you down.- Oh!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20'Grandpa saw his chance to escape.'
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- You are a good boy.- 'But Great Aunt Loretta saw him.'- Oh! Aarghh!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28SHE SHRIEKS
0:10:28 > 0:10:32It's just one of my space spider puppets, Great Aunt Loretta.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That's all very well.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Those space spiders - they're as bad as the real thing, if you ask me.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Where is Grandpa when I need him?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Gone for a little lie down, I suppose.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48'I quickly got Grandpa out from under the space spider...
0:10:51 > 0:10:55'..put him into upsy-downsy and sent him upstairs.'
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- I'll go and get Grandpa.- OK.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Oh!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04'So, I went upstairs and got Grandpa out of upsy-downsy.'
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Cap off, Grandpa. Quick.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Well done for chasing the spider away.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I couldn't have done it without your help. You know what I call that?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Teamwork.- Teamwork!
0:11:20 > 0:11:26'Later, Grandpa and I were all ready to do our Captain Dumbletwit
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- 'puppet show.'- It's no good. I've had enough spiders for today.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- I'm off.- Aren't you going to stay and watch, Loretta?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's all right for you, Grandpa.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38You didn't come this close to one today.
