0:00:02 > 0:00:04- BOTH:- Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Catch me if you can!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Come down, Grandpa!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52'Lots of people come to Sunnysands for their holiday.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57'They love the beach huts, the lighthouse, the pier
0:00:57 > 0:00:59'and they love the harbour
0:00:59 > 0:01:04'where our friend Bob keeps his boat - the Boomerang.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'But today at the Mill on the Marsh,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11'we had some holiday people who didn't love anything.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Ooh, I don't know about this.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16'Brenda and Bernard Balderdash.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- How are your eggs, Bernard?- Well, Brenda, I...- Our eggs are lumpy!
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Lumpy? Sorry about that.- Bernard can't eat lumpy eggs, they give him
0:01:24 > 0:01:28indigestion. You can't eat lumpy eggs, can you, Bernard?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29He can't eat lumpy eggs.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32'We were keeping well out of the way.'
0:01:32 > 0:01:37I'm not keen on Brenda and Bernard Balderdash. How about you, Wulfy?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40He's not too keen either.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Well, that was a struggle.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- Right, we're going on a trip, we'll be out for the day.- Oh, lovely.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51We're hiring a boat, aren't we, Bernard? What sort of boat is it?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Shiny portholes with a fish on the front.- That's the Boomerang.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58It's called that because when it goes out, it always comes back.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- It's Bob's boat.- Today it's Brenda and Bernard's boat. We need to go
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- to Sunnysands harbour.- We don't want you to be late. I'll take you there.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12'Auntie Jules rushed down to the kitchen and told us all about it.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Shiny portholes with a fish on the front?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- That sounds like the Boomerang, Bob's boat.- That's what I said. Anyone seen
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- the keys to Campo?- Bob lives on his boat, he never hires it out.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Maybe it's a new thing. Don't worry about it, Grandpa.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29'Grandpa was worried. He didn't like the idea of...'
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Elsie, Josh, you'd better come with me.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I expect Grandpa wants a little lie down.- Yes.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Maybe I do.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- BRENDA:- Hurry up, Mrs Mason! You're keeping us waiting.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I think Brenda and Bernard Balderdash are making a mistake
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and I'm going to go and keep an eye on them.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Make sure they don't cause trouble. - But you're not invited.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I don't need to be, I've got this.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- BOTH:- Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Catch me if you can!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12'You know what happens when Grandpa shrinks.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15'He runs about so fast I can't catch him.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18'He zooms around in the toy car
0:03:18 > 0:03:22'and chuffs about in the Sunnysands train.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25'He loves flying in Jason's plane
0:03:25 > 0:03:29'and swooping about on Gordon the seagull.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32'But sometimes he just comes along with us.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40'So off we went to Sunnysands harbour. Me, Auntie Jules, Elsie,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- the Balderdashes and... - Grandpa in my pocket.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46'And Mrs Balderdash said...'
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I don't think much of this old van, do you, Bernard?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- 'And then she said...' - I hope the boat's more comfortable.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55'And when we arrived she shouted out...'
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Shiny portholes with a fish on the front, that's our boat!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01'The cabin door was open
0:04:01 > 0:04:06'so Brenda Balderdash barged in and we all followed her.'
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Hello? Bob? He doesn't seem to be here.- Well, good job too,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12we don't want anyone else coming on this trip.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16We don't like sharing, do we, Bernard? What a mess.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It looks like someone's been doing their washing.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Oh, I'll be having to complain to the boat hire company about this.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Don't just stand there, help!
0:04:27 > 0:04:32'While the others were clearing up, I took Grandpa out of my pocket.'
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I'm sure Bob knows nothing about this.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40When you get home call him on his mobile. Tell him what's happened, OK?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- OK.- And if there's any big problems here, I'll send you a signal.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Look out for it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Bernard, I want everything up on deck, I want it all out of my sight
0:04:50 > 0:04:52and these ghastly red shorts.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- We'll leave you to it. Have a safe trip.- Look out for the sharks!
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Huge, giant, hungry sharks.- Sharks? Nobody said anything about sharks,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04did they, Bernard? Nobody said anything about sharks.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07They were only joking. Let's go now, shall we?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10'So we left Grandpa with the Balderdashes.'
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Oh, I thought we'd never get rid of them. Cast off and start the engine.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20'As soon as we got back to the Mill on the Marsh,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24'we looked in Auntie Jules' book for Bob's phone number.'
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Oh, Grandpa must've gone for a little lie down.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Doesn't surprise me. At last I can have a bit of a break.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Oh, I can phone my friend.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42'Now Auntie Jules was using the phone, we just had to wait.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47'The Boomerang was sailing out to sea.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52'Down below, Grandpa was keeping an eye on Mrs Balderdash.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55'She tidied up and was listening to the radio.'
0:05:55 > 0:05:59What are you doing down here? You can't leave a boat to steer itself.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's very windy. Maybe you'd like to have a turn.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Don't be ridiculous, I've got a picnic to make.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08The boat hire people didn't leave us one.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10That's because you're on the wrong boat.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Go back, Bernard, head for Bongal Island.- Bongal Island?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bongal Island?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20But isn't Bongal Island supposed to be very rocky and dangerous?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Oh, don't make such a fuss. Off you go.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29'But Mr Balderdash was right. Bongal Island is very rocky and dangerous.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34'Grandpa was even more worried. This was a big problem.'
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Time to send Josh and Elsie a signal - but what?
0:06:39 > 0:06:45'Then Grandpa had an idea. He jumped off the shelf and ran up on deck.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50'Back at the Mill on the Marsh, Auntie Jules was still on the phone.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55'So we couldn't get in touch with Bob.'
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Let's go on the balcony and see if we can spot the boat.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Grandpa might have sent us a signal.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- We can borrow Uncle CJ's binoc...bino...you know!- Binoculars!
0:07:06 > 0:07:10'We ran out onto the balcony.'
0:07:10 > 0:07:15There's the Boomerang and there's something red flapping about.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- I think it's a flag.- I bet it's a signal from Grandpa, let me look.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25That's not a flag, it's Bob's red shorts.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- Grandpa must have found them in the washing.- What do red shorts mean?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Well, red usually means danger so Grandpa's trying to tell us
0:07:34 > 0:07:35there's a big problem.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40'But it was a big problem Grandpa would have to sort out himself
0:07:40 > 0:07:44'because Auntie Jules was still on the phone.'
0:07:44 > 0:07:47'Mrs Balderdash was enjoying the music on the radio
0:07:47 > 0:07:52'and making a picnic using up all Bob's food.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56'Grandpa came back below deck. Luckily he had a plan.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02'He went up to the radio and turned down the volume
0:08:02 > 0:08:05'and then he did this.'
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- We interrupt this programme to bring you a special warning.- Bernard!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13There's a warning on the radio.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17This warning is for all shipping in the Bongal Island area.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The Bongal Island area, that's us.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24A huge, giant, hungry shark has been spotted.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- BOTH:- A shark!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29The biggest shark ever seen,
0:08:29 > 0:08:34with sharp teeth the size of pointy volcanoes.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37And now back to the music.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Ah! We're being attacked by sharks! Don't just stand there, Bernard,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44turn the boat round back to Sunnysands. Go on, now! Now!
0:08:44 > 0:08:48'And Grandpa followed Mr Balderdash back up onto the deck.'
0:08:48 > 0:08:52The boat! It's coming back, it's turning around.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Just like a boomerang.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And Bob's shorts are coming down.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03That means the big problem isn't such a big problem any more
0:09:03 > 0:09:08but we've still got the problem of getting Grandpa off the boat.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Yes, I'll phone again and next time we'll have a proper chat. Bye!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16We've just seen Bob's boat, it's on its way back to the harbour.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Should we go and pick up Mr and Mrs Balderdash in Campo?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Yes, I suppose so. Come along!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29'We arrived at the harbour just as Bob's boat had moored up
0:09:29 > 0:09:32'and things were not at all good below deck.'
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Huge, giant, hungry sharks
0:09:35 > 0:09:37with sharp pointy teeth the size of volcanoes.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40That's what they said, didn't they, Bernard?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Who said? - The man on the radio.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46You knew there were sharks in these waters.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49That boy even tried to tell us.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We'll be making complaints, won't we, Bernard? Come on!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Back to the Mill.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Of course, it was your fault for telling us to hire this boat.- Me?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I said no such thing. Some people are the limit, I've tried my best to help
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- and all they've done... - Don't worry, Auntie Julies,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11just take deep breaths.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14'While Auntie Jules was taking deep breaths,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16'I put Grandpa back in my pocket.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19'Then Bob turned up.'
0:10:19 > 0:10:21G'day.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Where have you been? - Up Misty Moor mountain on my bike.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Oh, crikey, someone's been busy. - Brenda and Brendan Balderdash.- Who?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- BRENDA:- Mrs Mason, you're keeping us waiting again.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- My guests, sorry, got to go. - OK.- We'll explain later.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Give me a call any time.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Oh!
0:10:50 > 0:10:55'As soon as we got back to the Mill on the Marsh, we rushed upstairs.'
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Cap off, Grandpa, quick!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01'He came back to his normal size.'
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- You did a great job.- So did you! If you hadn't come to fetch me home
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I could've been stuck on that boat for ages.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- It's teamwork, isn't it? - That's exactly what it is. Teamwork!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Oh, you're up, Grandpa. You'll be pleased to know
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- the Balderdashes are leaving. - I shan't be sad to see them go.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Nor me, they were difficult guests, though it wasn't their fault
0:11:25 > 0:11:28they had such a terrible time on Bob's boat.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Oh, you mean the huge, giant, hungry shark with sharp teeth
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- the size of pointy volcanoes? - So you heard it on the radio too?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Yes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Teamwork!
