0:01:12 > 0:01:14Oh-h!
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Oof!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Morning, world!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29HE SNIFFS
0:01:29 > 0:01:33The old place is looking a bit scruffy.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36You won't mind, you dirty doggy.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38SLURP!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Hoy! You hate being neat and clean. - Woof!
0:01:42 > 0:01:47No time to play today. I'm going to tidy up my garden a bit.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Oh-h!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Ah!
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Now all I need's a Barrat-Oddway reduction flange and I think...
0:01:59 > 0:02:01it'll be...
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Oh!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07What the...?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12What in the world...?!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Oh-h!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Stretchy, what have you done?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I pulled my chain and...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I got rather more stuff than usual.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yes, and it's all over the place.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30There's an awful lot of mess.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34This whole place needs a tidy-up.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40This was going to be an air-powered junk transporter,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43but if I coupled the suction pump to the...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Do you know, Spotty...?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I might have invented a rather interesting cleaning machine!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Oh.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Do you think it could clean up... everything?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I don't see why not.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Oh-h, wonderful! Just think how pleased everyone would be
0:03:04 > 0:03:09with a bright, new, sparkling-clean world!
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- Come on, Stretchy, get cracking! - Righty-ho.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Oh!- Woof!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Messy, don't creep up on me like that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27- Woof-woof.- I can guess why you're here. You wish to rehearse our act.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Scary and Messy, the Wonderhound!
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Woof!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Now, just take hold of the handles.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Right.- Then put it into gear.- OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh-h!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Stretchy!
0:03:50 > 0:03:55I think I might have set the speed control a touch on the high side.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02And now... Messy, the Wonderhound with...
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Messy, stop it. - SPOTTY SCREAMS
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Messy, do you hear that?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Stop it, Stretchy!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Do something!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18You know, Messy, I think we should...RUN!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23It's getting closer!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's breathing down my neck. Help!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Stretchy! Where are the brakes?!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Messy, running doesn't seem to be the answer.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Let's put plan B into action.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Hide!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Oh!
0:04:43 > 0:04:44< Oh!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47SOMEONE...do something!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Ah-h-h-h!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01HE WHINES
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Woof-woof!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Tiny!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Spotty!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Morning, Tiny. Seen Spotty at all?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- She went that way on a weird machine.- Right.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Tiny, did you see that...thing?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yes. It ate my flowers.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36No! Did you hear that, Messy? It ate...
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Messy?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Messy's gone. ..Tiny?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44You don't think the "thing"...?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Could it have done something to him?- I hope not.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- Scary, some detective work is required.- I'm not dressed for that.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I need the proper hat.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Oh-h!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01HE WHIMPERS
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Oh!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Hmm, let's see.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11What would a detective wear?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Yes!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- MESSY HOWLS - Oh, a ghost!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22A real ghost in my ghost train.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Stretchy, help!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Stretchy! Help! The machine is stuck!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35CLATTER!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Spotty, are you all right?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Yes, I am, no thanks to you.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Sorry.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47At least your wretched machine seems to have worked.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53- Still, plenty more cleaning to do yet.- You mean, there's more?!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing properly.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- Now, out with your spanner and get that thing fixed!- Hi, Spotty!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Hello, Stretchy!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Well, Tiny, what do you think? Clean as clean can be, eh?
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Ye-es. Um, you haven't seen Messy, have you?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I cleaned him on my way past the Nut 'n' Bolt Tree.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24That dirty doggy needed a bit of a wash and brush-up.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Poor Messy!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29He hates being clean.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34He'll be so embarrassed. I hope he hasn't run away for ever.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38There! I think that's it sorted.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44Well, time to get this place spotless...apart from me, of course.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48You see? I'm Spotty. ..Oh, never mind.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Come on!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Oh-h-h-h!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Ah-h-h-h!- Oh, no, Spotty, you've put him into reverse!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Ah-h!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04HOWLING
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Scary, I think I know what happened to Messy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Not now, Tiny. Listen.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- HOWLING CONTINUES - In there, there's a real ghost!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18That's no ghost!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Careful!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29It was poor Messy!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31WHIMPERING
0:08:31 > 0:08:37You know how he hates being clean. He was embarrassed, so he hid.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Mmm.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Not again!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Help! I can't stop it!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Rrrrruff!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47SPOTTY SCREAMS
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Sorry!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Woof-woof-woof!
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Well, at least someone's happy! - MESSY SLURPS
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Good to be a dirty doggy again, eh?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Oh-h!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03CRASH!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Oh, what was that?
0:09:05 > 0:09:11I've just wasted a whole day trying to get the place clean,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13and now look at it!
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Never mind, Spotty. At least I've got my flowers back.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- And Messy's nice and dirty again. - Woof!
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Glad to hear it. And, well, there's always tomorrow.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Oh, no, Spotty!
