0:00:24 > 0:00:26# Over the sea to Struay... #
0:00:33 > 0:00:37My name is Katie Morag McColl, and I live on the island of Struay.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I suppose it's quite wee, but it's ginormous to me, and everyone
0:00:41 > 0:00:45looks out for me when I'm out and about having my adventures.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49This is where I live, with my family.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52My mum and dad run the shop and post office.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55This is the bedroom I share with my brother Liam.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58My mum says it's an absolute midden.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01This is the croft where Grannie Island lives,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03with her animals and hens.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06This is the Redburn Bridge where I play poohsticks.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And I think it's the best place in the whole entire world,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20# Katie Morag. #
0:01:22 > 0:01:26'I reckon Halloween's the best-fun day in the whole entire year!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29'Christmas is great, but you don't get to stay up till midnight!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33'And Hogmanay's brilliant, but no-one gets presents!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35'On Halloween you get lots of goodies
0:01:35 > 0:01:37'AND they let you stay up late...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40'Well, later than usual, anyway!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44'But best of all, you get to dress up any way you like!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48'Here on Struay we call it "guising",
0:01:48 > 0:01:50'cos you're wearing a disguise!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58'You can be a beautiful princess, with a lovely long dress!
0:02:00 > 0:02:05'Or a magical fairy queen, with butterfly wings, and a golden wand!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10'But I've got a much better idea for this Halloween.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Aaaargghhhh!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Cap'n Katie's the name.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The meanest, ugliest, scariest pirate
0:02:21 > 0:02:25ever to set foot on the island of Struay.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Ahoy there!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, my goodness!
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Um...I think you might need a shave.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Pirates don't shave!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43And do pirates drink orange juice?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Sometimes. But only through a straw!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Hmm. Well, I hope we've got some left!- Achoo!
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Phew!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Um... Liam was wondering if he could have a wee turn of your hat.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13No way! Pirates NEVER lend their hats!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23OR their parrots.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Now, dressing up is only part of the fun at Halloween.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39The other part is going round all your neighbours' houses.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You sing a song or tell a joke,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45then they give you some fruit or a handful of sweeties!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I'm an absolute EXPERT,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51so I need a good-sized bag to carry all my treats!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Bye!- Bye, Mum!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Achoo!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I hope you're not coming down with a cold!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Pirates never get colds!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Well, put your jacket on, just in...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I guess pirates don't wear jackets.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13THUNDER RUMBLES
0:04:13 > 0:04:17'The plan was to start at Grannie Island's and work my way home.'
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Wooo! Hello, Katie Morag!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22'That way, when my bag was jam-packed with sweeties,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24'I wouldn't have far to carry it!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29'What I hadn't planned on was a thunderstorm!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32'I wasn't sure how pirates felt about getting soaked,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35'but I didn't think they liked it much!'
0:04:35 > 0:04:39No chance of us running out of treats this year, eh, Bob?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41DOOR OPENS
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Katie Morag!
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Achoo!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47'By the time I got to Grannie Island's,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51'I was absolutely freezing, and I wasn't feeling very well at all.'
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Poor wee soul! You must be frozen.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Oh, I think you might be running a temperature.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02There's no way you're going out guising in that condition.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04But I've GOT to go!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Absolutely not!
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Right, let's get you nice and warm and cosy and comfy, eh?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Before you catch pneumonia.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Oh!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21It's not so bad. I'll tell you what.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I'll phone Mum, and then me and you
0:05:23 > 0:05:26can enjoy the guisers as they stop by.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28But I won't get any treats!
0:05:28 > 0:05:34A-ha, that's what you think. Now look what I've got here!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36It's ginormous!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Now, you're only allowed a couple of pieces a day, mind you...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I reckon this'll last till you're finished primary school!
0:05:42 > 0:05:47I'll pop it in your guiser's bag. There you go, now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Now, how's about taking that beard off?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52But I only just put it on!
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Is it not uncomfy?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55CLATTER
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Bob! Oh, you...mischievous creature!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06BOB WHINES
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Everything's ruined! What am I going to give the guisers now?!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I've got an idea.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Right, dried peas... mustard powder...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Ah! Here we are!
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Ricey puffs. Well, what now?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44You melt some chocolate and mix it all together!
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Well, we haven't got any chocolate!
0:06:45 > 0:06:48So what do you call THIS!
0:06:48 > 0:06:49But that's yours!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52We've got to have SOMETHING for the guisers...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I think it's the law!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Ah. And we don't want to be getting ourselves into trouble, do we?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09What's up with him?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Everyone's away guising and he's feeling left out.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I'm feeling left out myself!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Why don't we all go!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Oh, don't be silly!
0:07:20 > 0:07:24In the old days, the grown-ups always went guising here on Struay!
0:07:24 > 0:07:29And anyway, is there a rule that says we can't be silly?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Do you know, I don't think there is!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34And we can cheer Katie Morag up too.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Well, that's them ready now. KNOCK ON DOOR
0:07:56 > 0:07:57And not a moment too soon!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oh, my goodness! Come away in!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Come away in.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Hello, Mr McMaster.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10That's it. Come and have a seat.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Well, now, poor Katie Morag isn't feeling very well this evening.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19So I think we should entertain her, eh?
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Now, first of all, let me guess what you are... A vampire!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Yup!- Yep! Um...a mummy!
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Correct!- Correct! And you're Alice in Wonderland!
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Actually, I'm not wearing a costume.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Right. Of course not.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So, who's doing what?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47What do you get if you cross a Bambi and a ghost?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I don't know...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Bam-BOO!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Oh! That's lovely... What a fright you gave me!
0:08:54 > 0:08:55And who's next?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58There was a young lady from Struay
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Whose porridge was lumpy and chewy
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Her mother said "Dear, the solution is clear
0:09:04 > 0:09:07"Add some noodles and call it chop suey!"
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Oh, that was good! I must remember that one!
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I'm playing a short piece by Johann Sebastian Bach.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Oh, very good.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25VIOLIN SCREECHES
0:09:25 > 0:09:27KNOCK ON DOOR
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Oh, what a pity! There's the door! That was lovely, dear. Well done!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Oh, what a nice surprise! Come away in!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39What do you think of our costumes?
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Well, I wouldn't like to say. Not in front of the children!
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Hello, Mum. How are you feeling, sweetheart?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49A wee bit better.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I hope you've got a party piece for me!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53We do indeed!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Isobel!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Ready, Liam?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01One, two, three. four.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05# Doom, doom, doom, doom
0:10:05 > 0:10:06# Doom, doom, doom, doom
0:10:06 > 0:10:11# If you go down to the woods today You're sure of a big surprise
0:10:11 > 0:10:15# If you go down to the woods today You'd better go in disguise
0:10:15 > 0:10:17# For every bear that ever there was
0:10:17 > 0:10:20# Will gather there for certain Because
0:10:20 > 0:10:24# Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic! #
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Well, what can I say?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35There's nothing I can say!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It wasn't very Halloweeny.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Oh, ghosties and ghouls don't bother me,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but that will haunt me for the rest of my days!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Right, come on, now,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49everyone help themselves to a couple of crispy cakes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Courtesy of Katie Morag!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01What's the matter with Liam?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's late, and he's a wee bit tired.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I know what'll make Liam happy.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Liam McColl...
0:11:09 > 0:11:12As a reward for all your daring deeds,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'm making you a real live pirate!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Arise, Captain Freckles!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Congratulations!
0:11:19 > 0:11:23And may the wind always shiver your timbers!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Well, that was a lovely evening.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Whoa. Hold on a minute.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40We've all done a party piece. What about you?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Oh, don't be silly!- It's only fair.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Please, Grannie!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48But I haven't prepared anything!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Oh! All right, then. Why not?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Give us a wee introduction, Mr McMaster.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05# If it wisnae fur yer wellies Where would you be?
0:12:05 > 0:12:10# You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
0:12:10 > 0:12:14# You would have a dose o' the flu or even pleurisy
0:12:14 > 0:12:19# If it wisnae fur yer feet in yer wellies!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21# Wellies, they are wonderful
0:12:21 > 0:12:23# Wellies, they are swell
0:12:23 > 0:12:25# They keep oot the water
0:12:25 > 0:12:28# And they keep in the smell
0:12:28 > 0:12:31# And when you're in the kitchen You can always tell
0:12:31 > 0:12:36# When Katie Morag takes off her wellies
0:12:36 > 0:12:40# If it wisnae fur yer wellies Where would you be?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44# You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
0:12:44 > 0:12:48# You would have a dose o' the flu or even pleurisy
0:12:48 > 0:12:54# If it wisnae fur yer feet in yer wellies! #
0:13:04 > 0:13:06'By the time we came home, the storm had gone
0:13:06 > 0:13:09'and I was feeling a lot better.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11'I hadn't come home with a bagful of goodies,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15'but I'd still had a brilliant time!
0:13:15 > 0:13:16'Everyone liked the crispy cakes,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20'and Liam looked so sweet in my pirate clothes!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23'Do you know, I even think that giving things
0:13:23 > 0:13:26'might be even funner than getting them.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29'But don't tell anyone I said that!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32'Pirates are supposed to be mean and nasty.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36'I wouldn't want anyone thinking Cap'n Katie had gone soft!'
0:13:43 > 0:13:46(Good night, Grannie Island.)
