0:01:28 > 0:01:32- I'm trying to think! - What are you thinking about?

0:01:32 > 0:01:38Ah, wait and see. But I can assure you, it's something really big.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Oh, yes! Big's the word.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Stretchy's here, Sparky One.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47HE HUMS TO HIMSELF

0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Hurry up, Sparky Two!- Any use? - Er, yeah! Looking good!

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Here! What are you...? - Hi, Stretchy!

0:01:59 > 0:02:04- What are you doing holding me up like this?- We're helping you.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07If we just borrow these, you won't have to sort them.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11We're making a surprise for Tiny! Aren't we, Sparky One?

0:02:11 > 0:02:16The rules are you don't take things till I sort them! Put them back!

0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Don't be mean, Stretchy! Honestly, you're no fun, you know!- No fun?

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- She's right! You're not fun at all! Bye! - THEY GIGGLE

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Am I really no fun?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Hmm...

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Well, we'll see about that!

0:02:36 > 0:02:41- Need some help, Tiny?- Hi, Stretchy. These bolts have all worked loose.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Ah! You'll need a big spanner for them!

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Let's see... Number eight should do it.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- GIGGLING - I hope Tiny likes his surprise, Sparky One.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58Course he will, Sparky Two. He loves being in the spotlight. GIGGLING

0:02:58 > 0:03:03- Er, Tiny.- Yes, Stretchy? - Would you say that I'm fun?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Fun?- Yes - fun.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11Er... Well, you're good at sorting and organising,

0:03:11 > 0:03:15and you're a very good friend, Stretchy, but fun...

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Thought not. - HE SIGHS

0:03:18 > 0:03:22I'd like to be fun to be with. But what would I have to do?

0:03:22 > 0:03:27I mean, Noisy's fun, isn't she? And Scary, of course.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Yeah, I suppose there are lots of ways of being fun, aren't there?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- You could be cheerful all the time. - Hooray!

0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Or you could play tricks on people like the Sparkys do.- Oh...

0:03:38 > 0:03:43- Or you could make yourself fun to look at.- Huh? Oh!

0:03:45 > 0:03:48HE LAUGHS

0:03:48 > 0:03:52I think I can safely say I now look like a robot who is fun to be with

0:03:52 > 0:03:56- and fun to look at! Yes, indeed! - LAUGHS

0:03:56 > 0:04:01# I'm a little robot, long and thin Watch my tracks and see me grin

0:04:01 > 0:04:06# No-one else is as tall as me I can reach a nut-and-bolt tree. #

0:04:06 > 0:04:11I say, did you hear that ghastly...? Aa-a-agh!

0:04:11 > 0:04:12Huh?!

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Great Scott!- Hey!

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Stretchy, dear boy!

0:04:18 > 0:04:21How, um... How original.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Fun, hey?!

0:04:23 > 0:04:28I knew you'd like it, Scary. Your sort of thing, eh? Eh? Eh?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31What about the song? All right, was it?

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Ah, the song, yes. That's why I came out.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39The thing is, Stretchy, I'm very busy trying to think.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Planning a new show, you see. - And you want me in it!

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Ah, er... Possibly, dear boy, possibly.

0:04:47 > 0:04:52But just for now, would you be a good fellow and sing somewhere else?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Oh... Get some more practice in! No problem, Scary. See you later.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Oh, dear! Oh, dear!

0:04:59 > 0:05:01# I'm a little robot Long and thin!

0:05:01 > 0:05:06- # Watch my tracks and see me grin... # - THEY LAUGH

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Stretchy! What do you think you look like?!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- You weren't wrong, were you?- Wrong?

0:05:11 > 0:05:15Ye-es, I'm a lot of fun now, aren't I? Go on, admit it.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Fun?!- I'd stick to sorting if I were you, Stretchy.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22THEY LAUGH LOUDLY

0:05:25 > 0:05:27The Sparkys are right, Tiny.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31- HE SIGHS - I've gone and made a fool of myself, I'm afraid.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35No, you haven't, Stretchy. You tried to be fun,

0:05:35 > 0:05:40and the Sparkys didn't think it worked, that's all. Oo-o-oh!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Hey-hey! It's fun when you do that, Tiny.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46TINY LAUGHS

0:05:51 > 0:05:54SNORING

0:05:54 > 0:05:57GIGGLING

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Hey!

0:05:59 > 0:06:02What's going on?!

0:06:02 > 0:06:06- GIGGLING - Ah, another Sparky trick.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Come and have a go with our new invention, Tiny!- Oh, well. Why not?

0:06:13 > 0:06:18- You just love doing this kind of thing, don't you?- I suppose we do.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22It's what we're best at, really - larking about.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Flashing lights, practical jokes, you know!- Doing what you're best at.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Well, that makes sense.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Listen... Will you help someone else to be fun doing what he's best at?

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Oh, I'd love to, Tiny. - Who is it?- Stretchy.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40- Stretchy?!- You upset him when you said he was no fun.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45- We didn't mean to.- He WAS no fun. - And then, you laughed at him.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Oh, dear! He told you, didn't he?

0:06:48 > 0:06:53But he looked so silly. Not like Stretchy at all.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Oh, we've gone too far again. Better put it right.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03HE HUMS TO HIMSELF

0:07:03 > 0:07:08- That's what Stretchy's good at, isn't it?- BOTH: Sorting!

0:07:08 > 0:07:13So, how do you help him to be fun doing what he's good at? Any ideas?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Give me three, Sparky!

0:07:18 > 0:07:23- It's a very good idea, indeed, Sparkys.- But will you help us?!

0:07:23 > 0:07:28Oh, yes. It's much bigger and better than the thing I've been working on.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'd be happy to. BOTH: Hooray!

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- It's nearly time to start. Everyone ready?- Ready.- Indeed.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Oh, I'm not sure.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Don't worry, Stretchy! Just be yourself!

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- But will I be fun?- Yes - promise!

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- APPLAUSE - Thank you all for coming.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's going to be a very special show.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57And now, a big hand please for Stretchy!

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Thank you.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Welcome to Stretchy's world!

0:08:06 > 0:08:10A world of - over here - untidy mess.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16And - over there - perfect order.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19How does the dear fellow do it?

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Who better to explain than the tallest little robot himself?!

0:08:24 > 0:08:30- CLEARS HIS THROAT - # Take a sprocket, hold it carefully

0:08:30 > 0:08:33# I throw it neatly! Watch it rock!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36# See it land, as it should do

0:08:36 > 0:08:40# Right beside the sprocket pot

0:08:40 > 0:08:44# Here's a widget, very useful

0:08:44 > 0:08:47# Now, never let a widget go

0:08:47 > 0:08:51# Flick it sideways, nice and easy

0:08:51 > 0:08:54# Straight into the bucket so

0:08:54 > 0:08:58# Now we all see sorting's very clever

0:08:58 > 0:09:02# It's not a silly thing to do

0:09:02 > 0:09:06# Sorting keeps the junk in order

0:09:06 > 0:09:09# And moves it on from him to...you! #

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well done, Stretchy! You're a star!

0:09:16 > 0:09:21- But am I fun? - Hmm... Let me see.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Oh, all right - you are.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Hooray!

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- LAUGHTER - Stretchy, well done! Hooray!
