0:01:05 > 0:01:08HOWLING

0:01:08 > 0:01:13No, no, no, no, no! Messy, dear dog, desist forthwith.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Woof, woof?

0:01:15 > 0:01:19It means stop, and you have, thank goodness.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Oh?

0:01:20 > 0:01:25- I know I said there'd be singing, but it is- I- who shall be doing it.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29You will be performing - jumping through hoops,

0:01:29 > 0:01:33diving from on high into a thimble of water, fired from a cannon.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34GULP!

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Perhaps I'm exaggerating. I haven't got a cannon.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42I haven't got a thimble, come to that.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46And something else we haven't got, Scary, is a glamorous assistant.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Woof?- A glamorous assistant!

0:01:49 > 0:01:54All the great acts have them - someone to add glitz and glitter.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- But whom?- Woof!

0:01:56 > 0:02:01- LAUGHS - A glamorous assistant, Scary? Me?!

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Yes, Tiny, m'lad - you. We'll have your name in lights...

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Thanks for the offer, Scary, but I don't think I'm cut out for it.

0:02:09 > 0:02:14- How about Spotty?- She'd take over. She'd boss me off the stage.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Rusty?- Stage fright - too nervous.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21Um...I'm sure you'll think of something, Scary.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Hmm.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30Where, oh, where are we to find our glamorous assistant?

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Look out! Coming through! Look out, Scary!

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Oh!- Oh!

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Oh! Oh, dear!

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Aha!- Aha? Aha what?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47My glamorous assistant!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Eh?- My dear Sparkies,

0:02:50 > 0:02:54how would one of you like the opportunity to become a star?

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Oh!

0:02:55 > 0:02:59I would like one of you to join me and Messy

0:02:59 > 0:03:02in presenting my latest extravaganza. What say you?

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Er... Yes, please!- Good. That's settled.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- We shall call you Sparklette! - Sparklette?!

0:03:09 > 0:03:14Sparklette. A glamorous assistant needs a special showy name.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17"Scary and his glamorous assistant, Sparklette!"

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Hang on! what about me?

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Sorry. There is room for only one glamorous assistant in this show.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Oh!- And right now, we must rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!

0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'll give THEM rehearse!

0:03:34 > 0:03:38That's it. You hold it like so, and then...

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Ai-ee!

0:03:40 > 0:03:42..Ta-da!

0:03:42 > 0:03:46No, no, no, no, no! Messy is supposed to do that.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51- Now, run along, Sparky One. We're trying to rehearse.- Spoilsport!

0:03:53 > 0:03:57And now, Messy the Wonder Hound will attempt to...

0:03:58 > 0:04:03Sparky One, put it down! You're spoiling everything!

0:04:03 > 0:04:06If you don't mind,

0:04:06 > 0:04:08we have important... Ooh!

0:04:14 > 0:04:18And now for the finale. A-one, two, three, four...

0:04:18 > 0:04:22# Now the end is very near It's time for us to go

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- # We hope and pray that all of you Loved our little show... #- I say!

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Sparky One, what are you doing?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Good, aren't I? No, you are NOT good.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35You're jealous cos I'm the glamorous assistant and you're not.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Jealous? I'm not jealous.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42You are! You're jealous as jealous can be. Just leave us alone.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44All right, I will!

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I'm off.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Goodbye. Goodbye!

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Never wanted to be in their rotten show, anyway.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02I'll run away from home. That'll show Sparky Two. She'll be sorry!

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Ouch! Oh, what the...?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Let go of me! Ow! Oh!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Oh, this is great(!)

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Oh, I...

0:05:14 > 0:05:19Tiny! Tiny! Not the night, not yet!

0:05:19 > 0:05:22I'm stuck - and now I can't see.

0:05:22 > 0:05:28If only I hadn't been so jealous. I should've been happy for Sparky Two.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Oh, Sparky Two, I'm sorry.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Oh, bother!

0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Goodnight, Scary.- Mm!- Goodnight, Messy. See you in the day.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Sparky One! I'm home! Sorry if I was a bit cross with you.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Sparky One? Are you there?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52SNORING

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Scary! Scary! Wake up! Scary, wake up!

0:05:57 > 0:06:03- Who's there? What is it?- Oh, Scary! It's Sparky One - she's gone. Gone!

0:06:03 > 0:06:08I got home and there she was - not there! We've got to find her.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Come on, Scary.- Um, Sparky Two...

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Perhaps we should ask Tiny to help. He'll know what to do.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Right. First, we're going to need some light to see by.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27The others might not be too happy. It's not been night for long.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Still, if we're gonna find Sparky One...

0:06:32 > 0:06:36There! That's better. Come on.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Oh!

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Night didn't seem to last long.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Still, at least I can see what I'm doing now.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Oh, Sparky One! This is all my fault.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55If I hadn't wanted to be a glamorous assistant it wouldn't have happened.

0:06:55 > 0:07:01Don't worry, Sparky Two. We'll find her. I think I know the best way.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Messy!- Woof?- I have a job for you.

0:07:03 > 0:07:08- Can you sniff out where Sparky One has got to?- Mr-rr!

0:07:08 > 0:07:13Messy's got the best nose in the business. He'll find her!

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Tiny, you're a marvel. And as for you, Messy,

0:07:19 > 0:07:21seek, boy!

0:07:21 > 0:07:26That's it, Messy. You can find her. Good dog. Go on.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh! Oh, just let go!

0:07:28 > 0:07:32BOING! BOING!

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Oh, it's no good.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39I'll just have to stay here, all on my own, forever.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44Sparky Two will forget all about me now she's a glamorous assistant...

0:07:44 > 0:07:47WOOF!

0:07:47 > 0:07:49What's that? It sounds like...

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Woof!- Messy! And Tiny!

0:07:52 > 0:07:55There you are, Sparky One!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Sparky Two!

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Oh, Sparky One! Oh, I've been so worried.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04YOU'VE been worried?! How do you think I felt?!

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Don't worry, Sparky One.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10We'll soon have you out of that lot and back where you belong.

0:08:10 > 0:08:15If it hadn't been for Scary and his show, this wouldn't have happened.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19And if I hadn't been so jealous of you being a glamorous assistant...

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Ah, yes. Well, I suppose this is all partly my fault.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27But I think I might have just had an idea.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Hrrm! Good day, everyone.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Er...oh! Sorry! I rather lost out on my beauty sleep.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41As I was saying, it gives me great pleasure to present

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Scary and Messy the Wonder Hound

0:08:44 > 0:08:48with their two glamorous assistants, the Sparklies.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53# The curtain's up The show's begun... # SNORING

0:08:53 > 0:08:58- SNIGGERING - Er, I'm sorry, everyone.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02I'm afraid Scary didn't get much sleep. The night was a bit short.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07Still, as they say, the show must go on.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10# The curtain's up The show's begun

0:09:10 > 0:09:14# We're two glamorous assistants And not just one!
