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.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15HELICOPTER BUZZES

0:00:17 > 0:00:19PLANE BUZZES

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Ah!

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Grandpa!

0:00:48 > 0:00:51It was a quiet morning at the Mill on the Marsh,

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Elsie had gone to play tennis with Uncle CJ

0:00:54 > 0:00:57and Grandpa was with me, painting Gordon.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Oh, he'll be as clean as a whistle after this coat of paint, Josh.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05It'll be like flying on a brand-new seagull.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Don't even think about it, Grandpa.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Great Aunt Loretta was in the kitchen with Auntie Jules.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15You better stay here, Mr Beetle Brooch.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19Don't want you getting sucked up when I'm muck-sucking.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Great Aunt Loretta was helping today, as a very important guest

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- was staying.- Suck up the muck! Suck up the muck!

0:01:26 > 0:01:30The very important guest was Lady Prigsbottom.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33She'd come to stay because the builders were doing up

0:01:33 > 0:01:35her big posh house.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Coo-eeh! It's only me.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44Oh, you haven't half brought some lovely stuff with you.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45SHE CHUCKLES

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Oh, look at all your bits and bobs.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51They're not bits and bobs!

0:01:51 > 0:01:56They're priceless antiques and I brought them to keep them safe.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Ah, they'll be safe as houses here with us.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01SHE CHUCKLES

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Now, don't mind me while I give you a bit of a going over.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Mind your feet.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11And again.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12SHE GROANS

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Feet up, feet up.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21- This is hopeless. I'll be back when you're finished.- That's a good idea.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Suck up the muck! Suck up the muck!

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Lady Prigsbottom came and sat with me, Grandpa and Wulfy.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31I don't know how you put up with Loretta.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, her heart's in the right place.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Finished. All spick and span, Lady P.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42It is Lady Prigsbottom, not Lady P!

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Great Aunt Loretta was polishing

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Auntie Jules' silver seaside ornaments.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53You're my favourite, you are. There we are.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Bright and shiny as a new pin. - Disaster! There's been a disaster.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03- Disaster?- What disaster?- A precious piece of jewellery has gone.

0:03:03 > 0:03:09- BOTH: Gone?- My diamond necklace - it's worth millions, millions!

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Yes, today we are going to solve...

0:03:17 > 0:03:23- You! You were in there last. Where is it?- I didn't touch it.- Thief!- Me?

0:03:23 > 0:03:26A thief! Are you calling me a thief?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29I won't stand for it!

0:03:29 > 0:03:32She was last in there. She's taken the necklace.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- It's obvious.- Come now.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Loretta may be many things but she's no thief.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'm going downstairs to talk to Jules.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44I don't know how this happened but I'm going to find out

0:03:44 > 0:03:47and the best way for me to catch a thief is if I'm small.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- HE GASPS - Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Catch me if you can.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58Now, when Grandpa shrinks, he can run so fast you can't catch him.

0:03:58 > 0:04:03He can fly my helicopter. He can chuff about in the Sunnysands train.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08He can hide in really tiny places where you can't find him.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12And today was one of those days. Where've you gone, Grandpa?

0:04:12 > 0:04:13I'm here.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Quick, take me to Lady P's room.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20If the thief comes back, I'll catch him.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Meanwhile, in the kitchen...

0:04:22 > 0:04:24THEY ALL SPEAK AT ONCE

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- There's nothing shifty about... - Calm down.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Just calm down!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34I'm going to the...

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Great Aunt Loretta can't say the word toilet out loud

0:04:37 > 0:04:39because she thinks it's rude.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'm calm, but I will not remain here any longer

0:04:42 > 0:04:47if there's a thief in the house. I'm packing up and leaving.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Wait! Lady Prigsbottom!

0:04:48 > 0:04:52I'd just put Grandpa into Lady Prigsbottom's room when

0:04:52 > 0:04:57- she came steaming back upstairs. - Don't try and stop me. I'm off.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Oh, please don't be off. Loretta's upset. You're upset.

0:05:01 > 0:05:06- I suppose Grandpa's gone for a little lie down.- I don't blame him.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Oh, dear. Oh, please.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'd put Grandpa in the vase on the dressing table.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Lady Prigsbottom was packing.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17She was about to see him but he ducked down just in time.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21She was in such a hurry that she accidentally did this.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26She packed the vase! The vase that had Grandpa in it.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Lady Prigsbottom, I'm sure we'll solve the mystery.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34No, I'm not staying in a house with thieves and robbers.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Auntie Jules gave up and Grandpa tried to escape

0:05:38 > 0:05:40but then this happened...

0:05:40 > 0:05:44Just in time, Grandpa managed to scramble out of the suitcase.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48He jumped onto the floor and ran out of the door.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52It's no good, she's leaving. I can't persuade her.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Just then, Grandpa ran in and I was really pleased to see him.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Grandpa, did you catch the thief? - No. Nobody came in.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03WOMAN SCREAMS

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- This is a disaster! - Great Aunt Loretta.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Come on. I picked him up, put him in my pocket

0:06:10 > 0:06:14and we went downstairs to see what was the matter.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18It's gone. My lovely shiny beetle brooch has gone.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- I only went to the toi...and it's gone.- I don't believe it.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Who could have taken it?- While Auntie Jules and Great Aunt Loretta

0:06:26 > 0:06:30looked for the shiny beetle brooch, I put Grandpa down.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Go and tell Lady P that someone else has had something taken.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42So off I went and Grandpa jumped down onto the floor

0:06:42 > 0:06:46and made his way to upsy-downsy, without being seen.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50He pressed the button...

0:06:51 > 0:06:53..and up he went.

0:06:54 > 0:07:00He arrived upstairs just as I did and Lady Prigsbottom was leaving.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Lady Prigsbottom, you're not the only one.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Great Aunt Loretta's had something taken too.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Her precious, shiny beetle brooch. - Her beetle brooch?

0:07:10 > 0:07:15- She's not making it up?- No. - Lady Prigsbottom. We all want to get

0:07:15 > 0:07:19to the bottom of this mystery. There has to be an explanation.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Oh! Oh, no. What's happening here?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25My silver seaside ornaments all over the floor.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- What's the matter?- Then, she saw that one was missing.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33- The little silver lighthouse. It's gone.- ALL: Gone?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36My necklace. Your broach. Her lighthouse.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39I think we ought to all go downstairs,

0:07:39 > 0:07:44have a cup of tea and keep calm. There has to be an answer.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46So they all went downstairs together

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- and just then, I heard Grandpa calling me.- Josh.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52I'm going to hide in here to see

0:07:52 > 0:07:56if the thief comes back for another ornament. You wait outside.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58- I'll call you.- OK.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Grandpa jumped out of upsy-downsy and climbed up and up

0:08:03 > 0:08:08and up, as high as he could to get a really good view of the thief.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13And sure enough the thief came back.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18It flew right in through the window,

0:08:18 > 0:08:23grabbed a silver shell off the table and flew right out again.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30A bongle bird, I might have known. Josh!

0:08:30 > 0:08:31I rushed back in.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38It's a bongle bird. You know how bongle birds like shiny things.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I'm going after it.- Right.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Grandpa jumped down and ran out onto the balcony.

0:08:48 > 0:08:55Then, he jumped onto Gordon and flew off to the meadow. I ran after him.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58The bongle bird was sitting in the nest in the big nut tree.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03And when he saw Gordon flying towards him, he did this...

0:09:03 > 0:09:06and Grandpa landed in the nest.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08BIRD SQUAWKS

0:09:10 > 0:09:15It's here, Josh. It's all here. We've found the missing millions!

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Grandpa was just about to pass all the shiny things to me,

0:09:19 > 0:09:21- when the bongle bird went... - BIRD SQUAWKS

0:09:21 > 0:09:23And the bongle bird's screeching

0:09:23 > 0:09:26brought the others into the meadow.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's the bongle bird. He's the thief.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32And when the bongle bird heard this, he took off and flew away.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34And there's his nest.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Oh, Josh. Did you frighten him out of his nest with Gordon?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42How did you get him up so high? Good throw.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47And it's my guess that the missing millions are in his nest.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Auntie Jules was sure to find Grandpa.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53First, she handed me Gordon.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Then she put her hand in the nest and...

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Your necklace, Lady Prigsbottom.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Your silver, shiny beetle brooch, Loretta.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09And...the little lighthouse.

0:10:09 > 0:10:15- Oh, and the shell. Anything else? - She was about to see Grandpa!

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Just a bit of bongle bird shell. I'll show you.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21I guessed Grandpa was hiding in the eggshell. No-o-o!

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Never touch a bongle bird egg. It's...

0:10:24 > 0:10:25really unlucky.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- We've had enough bad luck for one day.- Quite.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Loretta, I'm sorry I called you a robber.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39And I'm glad you got your shiny beetle brooch back.

0:10:39 > 0:10:47- It must be an old favourite. - Let's all go inside and celebrate.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Why not?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I just had one more thing to do.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Jump, Grandpa.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I put him down on the grass...

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Cap off, quick. He came back to his normal size.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Well done, Josh.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- I think we deserve to celebrate too.- Of course.

0:11:12 > 0:11:17- We did a great job. Teamwork, eh?- Teamwork.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Come on.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Well, at least Lady P has calmed down and gone to unpack.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Green gloop, Loretta?- Yum.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30Oh, been for a little lie down have we, Grandpa?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Well, we solved the mystery without you.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Where were you when I needed help? - I just went for some fresh air.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39- And how was it?- Eggs-ellent.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Teamwork!
