0:14:02 > 0:14:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Catch me if you can!

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Come down, Grandpa!

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Ha-ha!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Grandpa!

0:14:47 > 0:14:52'Josh had gone surfing with friends so I was playing with Grandpa.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55'We'd got out all Jason's old animal puppets.'

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Look out, Jason, it's a crocodile!

0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Snap, snap, snap, snap!- Ah!

0:15:01 > 0:15:05# Brussels sprouts and pilchards in brine... #

0:15:07 > 0:15:11'Just then, we heard a horrible noise coming up the stairs.'

0:15:11 > 0:15:14# ..He might be a true love of mine... #

0:15:14 > 0:15:17'It was Great Aunt Loretta, Grandpa's sister.'

0:15:17 > 0:15:19You're in a good mood today.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22I've made a new friend at Miss Smiley's Cafe.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26A very dishy gentleman from Australia.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27Australia?

0:15:27 > 0:15:30His name's Vincent.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34He's staying with Bob on his boat and, listen to this,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37he's invited me on a date.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Date? What sort of a date?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41A dream date!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Afternoon tea on the Boomerang.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48'Yes, this was the day we found out all about...'

0:15:52 > 0:15:56Where's my deodorant?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Oh!

0:15:58 > 0:16:00He invited you too, Grandpa,

0:16:00 > 0:16:03but I said you were having one of your little lie downs.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Oh, you did? - So I said I'd bring Elsie.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11And I've made some Green Gloop and a sardine-and-strawberry trifle.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13You can't turn up empty-handed, can you?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Come on, Elsie, get your life jacket on.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18We'll be going in Queenie.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21# La-da-di-la... #

0:16:21 > 0:16:25Green Gloop and sardine-and-strawberry trifle?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Poor Vincent.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28Poor Elsie!

0:16:28 > 0:16:32You're not thinking about going along too, are you?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Cos you've missed the boat.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Well, that's all right, I shall be going by plane.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Catch me if you can!

0:16:43 > 0:16:47'When Grandpa shrinks, he gets up to all sorts of mischief.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50'He runs about so fast nobody can catch him.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52'He goes "zoom-zoom" in the car

0:16:52 > 0:16:56'and "chuff-chuff-chuff" in the Sunnysands train.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58'But today, he was taking the plane.'

0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Call me if you need any help. - Thanks, I will!

0:17:04 > 0:17:08Wa-hey!

0:17:08 > 0:17:11'While we were on our way to Bob's boat, the Boomerang,

0:17:11 > 0:17:15'Uncle Vincent was in the bathroom getting ready for our visit.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19- 'Bob was not looking very happy.' - Coo-ee!

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- # ...Waltzing Matilda with me... # - It's only me!

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Here, take this.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Make sure the sardines don't fall off.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- I didn't know you were coming over, Loretta.- Oh, yes.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36Your uncle has invited me for afternoon tea.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Where is he? - Oh, he's in the...

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- # ..Waltzing Matilda with me... # - Oh, in the...

0:17:42 > 0:17:45'Great Aunt Loretta never says "toilet" out loud,

0:17:45 > 0:17:47'cos she thinks it's rude.'

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Vincent, guess who's here!

0:17:50 > 0:17:54- 'Yes, this was Uncle Vincent.' - Loretta, you made it!

0:17:54 > 0:17:58I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Oo-hoo-hoo!

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Come, this is my great-niece Elsie.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Pleased to meet you, Els.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- I've made you a strawberry and sardine trifle.- Bonza!

0:18:08 > 0:18:12I'll make us beetroot-and-custard sangers.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Oh, bonza!

0:18:14 > 0:18:17- What's a sanger?- It's what you good people call a sandwich.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21Come on, Loretta, you can help me slap on the margarine.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24'Luckily, Grandpa was on his way.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26'He landed on the deck of the Boomerang.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29'So Uncle Vincent and Great Aunt Loretta

0:18:29 > 0:18:31'were making sangers

0:18:31 > 0:18:33'and I was playing snap with Bob

0:18:33 > 0:18:36'when suddenly I saw Grandpa.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38'He was running along a rope!'

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Snap!

0:18:40 > 0:18:41Ha! You missed that one.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44'I was really pleased to see him.'

0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's a bit tricky having Uncle Vincent stay.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51He's taken over my boat,

0:18:51 > 0:18:54he cooks disgusting food

0:18:54 > 0:18:56and he snores like a wallaby.

0:18:56 > 0:19:01I don't want to be unfriendly but I wish he'd go back to Australia.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04GRANDPA: Oh, dear, poor Bob!

0:19:04 > 0:19:08I've never been to Australia. Sounds bonza!

0:19:08 > 0:19:09It is, Loretta.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14Hot weather, great music, fantastic beaches.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19There's just one thing that I can't stand about Australia.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Really? What's that?

0:19:21 > 0:19:22Crocodiles!

0:19:22 > 0:19:25They scare the living daylights out of me.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26Snap, snap, snap!

0:19:26 > 0:19:29That's why I'm never going back.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33What? You're never going back to Australia?

0:19:33 > 0:19:36No, I'm going to live in Sunnysands for ever.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40That's the best news I've heard all year!

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Exactly whereabouts in Sunnysands?

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Well, here on this boat, of course. With you, mate.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Excuse me, I...

0:19:48 > 0:19:51I need some fresh air.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Oo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:19:54 > 0:19:55We must celebrate!

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Open up the Green Gloop.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00'Grandpa found a better hiding place.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02'He wanted to talk to me.'

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'd come to help Uncle Vincent

0:20:07 > 0:20:10but the person who really needs help is Bob.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- I've got to do something. - Like what?

0:20:13 > 0:20:18Well, if I can remind Uncle Vincent of how wonderful Australia is,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- maybe he'll start getting homesick. - I get it.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23If he feels homesick, he'll go back home!

0:20:23 > 0:20:25You're so clever.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Elsie, come on. Come and have your sanger.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32'I had to leave Grandpa to get on with his plan.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36'He ran over to the little heating stove,

0:20:36 > 0:20:38'he sat on the tap

0:20:38 > 0:20:41'and turned it up really, really high.'

0:20:41 > 0:20:46Oh, beetroot and custard...yum!

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Don't nibble, Elsie, you're not a rabbit.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52'And soon, the boat felt really hot.'

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Ooh!

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Is it me or is it hot in here all of a sudden?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Oh, I'm sweating all over!

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Good job I put on all that deodorant.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05It is hot but I love it. The hotter the better!

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Reminds me of Australia.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Does it make you want to go home?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Oh, for sure, Els.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14But I can't go back, see, cos of the crocodiles.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Snap, snap, snap.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Oh, bother, I'd forgotten about the crocodiles.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Have some trifle.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24That'll take your mind off them.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27'Grandpa had another plan now.'

0:21:30 > 0:21:34'He ran over to the record player and started pointing.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36'He wanted me to play some music.'

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Can I play some music?

0:21:39 > 0:21:40Help yourself, Els.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Oh, yum, this trifle is bonza.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Let's hope this does it!

0:21:50 > 0:21:53WALTZING MATILDA PLAYS

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Waltzing Matilda?

0:21:55 > 0:21:58That's my favourite Aussie song!

0:21:58 > 0:22:00# Waltzing Matilda

0:22:00 > 0:22:03# Waltzing Matilda

0:22:03 > 0:22:04# You'll... #

0:22:04 > 0:22:08Oh, my beloved Oz. It brings tears to my eyes!

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Does it make you want to go home?

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Oh, too right it does.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14That's enough, Elsie. Switch it off.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19I'd be on the next plane if it wasn't for them crocodiles.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Snap, snap, snap.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Snap, snap, snap.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25'Grandpa had another plan.'

0:22:25 > 0:22:26Of course!

0:22:26 > 0:22:29- 'But he needed my help.'- Elsie!

0:22:29 > 0:22:30I want you to call Jason.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'm sure Bob won't mind if you borrow his phone.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35'And so I called Jason.'

0:22:35 > 0:22:38OK. Well, if that's what Grandpa wants.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'll see you in a bit.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44'Jason picked up the crocodile puppet

0:22:44 > 0:22:48'and rowed to Sunnysands Harbour as fast as he could.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51'Now we were all playing snap.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54'Great Aunt Loretta and Vincent were cheating,

0:22:54 > 0:22:57'so I was really pleased when Jason came in.'

0:22:57 > 0:22:58- Snap!- Oh...

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Hi, everyone.- Jason!

0:23:01 > 0:23:06- I'm here to say hello. - Welcome, welcome. Come and join us.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10'While nobody was looking, I took out the crocodile puppet

0:23:10 > 0:23:13'and put it on the floor for Grandpa.'

0:23:14 > 0:23:17'Grandpa got inside the crocodile

0:23:17 > 0:23:19'and then he started doing this...'

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Snap, snap, snap.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Snap, snap, snap! - Ah! It's a crocodile!

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Snap, snap, snap!

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Get rid of it, Jason. Get rid of it!

0:23:29 > 0:23:34'So Jason picked up the crocodile and pretended to get rid of it.'

0:23:34 > 0:23:35- Oh!- Oh!- A-a-a-a-ah!

0:23:35 > 0:23:41'Uncle Vincent was so scared he went to hide in the bathroom.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43'Jason put the crocodile down.'

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Well, that seemed to do the trick.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- I'll be off, then. - See you back at the mill, Grandpa.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53'Grandpa jumped up the steps and went off to find the plane.'

0:23:53 > 0:23:58It's OK, you can come out now. The crocodile's gone!

0:24:00 > 0:24:04Thanks, mate. Good job you were on the spot.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Right, I'm getting out of here.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10Vincent, stop making such a fuss. It was only a baby one.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13'Then Bob came back from his walk.'

0:24:13 > 0:24:15What's going on? Are you leaving?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Too right I am.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20This place is swarming with crocodiles.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Nah, there's no crocs in Sunnysands!

0:24:22 > 0:24:26There was one on the boat just now, going, "Snap, snap, snap."

0:24:26 > 0:24:29If I'm going to get attacked by crocodiles,

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I might as well go back to Australia.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Oh, right! Yeah, maybe you should, Uncle Vincent.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I mean, you do love the place.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Here, I'll help you pack.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Come on, Elsie. Come on, Jason.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47Time we went.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54'Grandpa flew home as fast as he could.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56'He jumped out of the plane,

0:24:56 > 0:24:58'took off his shrinking cap

0:24:58 > 0:25:01'and came back to his normal size.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02'We came home, too.'

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Did the plan work?- Of course!

0:25:04 > 0:25:08Vincent's gone back to Australia and Bob's got his boat back.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Teamwork, I call it.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12- ALL:- Teamwork!

0:25:12 > 0:25:14What a disaster!

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Oh, it's a good job you didn't come, Grandpa.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19You'd have only made things worse.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21So the dream date didn't work out?

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Nightmare date, more like.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26I've gone right off that Vincent - not my type at all.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28We've got nothing in common.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32And he made such a fuss about a tiny baby crocodile.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Even the little ones can be very scary.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Snap, snap, snap!

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Don't you start!

0:25:42 > 0:25:45INAUDIBLE

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Teamwork!
