0:00:02 > 0:00:03# Worlds away from anyone
0:00:03 > 0:00:06# They were burning themselves out in the sun
0:00:06 > 0:00:09# Worlds away from anyone
0:00:09 > 0:00:12# They were burning themselves out in the sun
0:00:12 > 0:00:18# There was just enough to get that far away
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# Ooh... #
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I'm Lockie Leonard. This is my show and tell
0:00:34 > 0:00:37and I've brought something pretty cool to show you.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This is my new car. It's a vintage 1962 combi van.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The ultimate surfing safari vehicle. A total classic.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Actually, I'm fibbing about the car.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I don't have a car. Although one day I will have one, just like this.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55What I do have is... Well, I have a few problems.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Check it out.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04First off, I live near a polluted river.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08My friend Egg and I went swimming there and I got really sick.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And puked. That's a problem.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And then there's my girlfriend, Dot.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20This is her. She's eleven. And in primary school.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23She doesn't care about the pollution in the river.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Egg's right. Dot doesn't care about anything. Besides surfing.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33My problem is, I want to break up with Dot but I don't know how.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34What do you say?
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Now, I would ask my mum... But she's...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43She's been acting weird lately.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Dad! But it's Captain Chicken!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Not like some who-cares kind of show that we can afford to miss.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's not like the news! We're talking about the Captain.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57The chicken!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Dad!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Breakwater. Seven down is breakwater.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Three across. "Three pouched marsupial starting with V". Anyone?
0:02:10 > 0:02:15We're witnessing the dawn of creation, the birth of the universe.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'm doing him at school today, at show and tell.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I have to watch this. For research!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28'Tougher than tough! Hotter than hot!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31'I am Captain Chick-ENN!'
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Mum! I need five minutes of the Captain! Just five minutes!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Be your own captain. Be your own Captain Chicken.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh!
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Sarge.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45What's up with Mum? She's been staring at the TV for days.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- People do that all the time.- Yeah, but when it's tuned to a channel.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Your mother's...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01a visionary. Eat your breakfast.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06'I can tell when Sarge is fibbing. And he was fibbing right now.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09'He was worried about Mum but trying to hide it.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12'Which meant he must have been really worried.'
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Come on, I'll walk you to school.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22You're supposed to keep show and tell to five minutes max.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27But people go on. And on! It was supposed to be my turn two weeks ago.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32But Deano Flegg brought in this crayfish thing and banged on forever!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Then I missed out last week too.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Why are you coming to MY school?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Are you coming to see Dot?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Wow. That's romance.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Hardly. I'm going to break up with her.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51After all the work I did getting you together?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- You wanna talk about it? - Yeah, I wanna talk about it.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59With Dot.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01BELL RINGS
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Hold this. I'll go get her for you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07What are you doing?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Hey.- Hey. Dot, listen.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I need to talk to you. - I really need a favour. Yeah, OK.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- But I need to talk to you. - We can talk later.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Where are you taking me? What's the favour?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I just need your help with something. I'm desperate.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29OK. My name is Dot and this is my show and tell.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Thank you, Dot, for being so on the ball. Please continue.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I've brought something pretty special. This is my boyfriend.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39His name is Lockie.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41ALL: Oooh!
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Shhh, quiet everyone. - We've been together for...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48two weeks? Anyway,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Lockie can tell you all about it.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56'I wished I could crawl into the ground and disappear
0:04:56 > 0:04:58'Bet this never happened to Captain Chicken.'
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Hey, cradle snatcher!
0:05:00 > 0:05:04'By the end of the day, the gossip network was cranked to full tilt.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07'Everybody knew about my latest disaster.'
0:05:08 > 0:05:10'Including Vicki Streeton.'
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Show and tell. Dot's hardcore. Man, she's hardcore.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Hey, it's Mr Show and Tell. Right out of primary school.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23You wanna make a run for it?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Captain Chicken wouldn't run.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Be your own captain. Be your own Captain Chicken.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- GIRLY VOICE:- Lockie, could you please be my show and tell, please?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You tell me something and I'll show you something.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39LAUGHTER
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I am Captain Chicken!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49LAUGHTER
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I...am Captain Chicken!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55HE CROWS LIKE A CHICKEN
0:06:00 > 0:06:01HE CROWS
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I think...I just got...
0:06:04 > 0:06:05pecked.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10'Tougher than tough, harder than hard.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13'This Captain Chicken thing was working for me!'
0:06:14 > 0:06:17My name's Boof and this is show and tell.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And what I'm showing are my-m-m-my boots.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21As you can see,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I'm shaking in my boots because I messed with Captain Chicken.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29And believe me, don't mess with Captain Chicken. You'll regret it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33You took Boof down! I still don't understand how you did it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34It's Captain Chicken.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38The moment you become your own captain, you get the job done.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Ha-ha! Right on, Captain!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Follow me. - As the egg follows the chicken!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Where ARE we going, Captain?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50I'm going to break up with Dot.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55'OK, so I was a little nervous. But Dot will be fine, right?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59'She's got other interests. Surfing, cartoons. She's...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01'Standing right in front of me.'
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Hi.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05He was just talking about you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- You said you wanted to talk to me about something.- I did?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Really? Are you sure about that?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- EGG CLUCKS LIKE A CHICKEN - No.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Actually, I did.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19I have something to say.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27I am Captain Chicken.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'm Captain Chicken!
0:07:31 > 0:07:36'Oh, where'd he go? The Captain can't bail on me now!'
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I wanted to talk to you about...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45The pollution. At the factory.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47What about it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49We have to do something about it.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Is that all you wanted?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54It's important.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I'm going for a surf.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59- You wanna come?- I can't.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I have to go to a meeting. At the factory.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06You know... Sort the whole thing out.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Can I see you later?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11See you later.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Yeah. Captain Chicken sure showed her(!)
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- You need to pick the right moment to become the Captain.- Right.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- And since when have we got a meeting at the factory?- Since now.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Boys!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Wally Norton.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I was at your meeting the other day about the pollution in the river.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38You made a great speech.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Thanks! Thanks a lot. - No, thank YOU.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It's great what you're doing. Have you spoken to anyone at the factory?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48We're thinking of going up there today, to have a meeting.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Apparently.- Do it. Get up there.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Give those pirates a serve. Don't let them lie to you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58They're running that factory under strict environmental guidelines.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- You reckon?- Course they're not!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03That's just the sort of rubbish they'll tell you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07But don't you believe them. You gotta be tough.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08'I could do tough.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11'As long as it doesn't involve dumping anyone, I'm there.'
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Gotta be tough.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Gotta believe.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I...am Captain Chicken.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23We're going to sort out this pollution.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- We're going to be tough!- Hard!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Straight up.- No nonsense.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- I'm Captain Chicken. - And I'm the Eggmeister.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33And we...want...answers!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38'Tougher than tough.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40'Harder than hard.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- You again.- You don't know what you're messing with. Listen, buddy...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50He's the Captain.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53This factory is polluting the river. And we want answers.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- This factory's not polluting anything.- Yeah, it is.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59You can see where the outflow pipe pours into the river.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00That's not used.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- We operate under strict environmental guidelines.- Rubbish!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06That's exactly what I've been told to expect from you.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- You tell him, Captain. - You won't get away with it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11We'll protest. We'll...
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- We'll protest some more.- Exactly. So you better look out.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23I'll be back.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31'So, Captain Chicken was making real progress
0:10:31 > 0:10:33'in his fight against the factory.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37'But he still hadn't helped me break the news to Dot.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38'But it's gonna happen.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42'I'm sure of it. Once I've had a surf.'
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Lockie. Just in time. We're having a mixed grill.- Again?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59No such thing as too much mixed grill!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Where's Mum?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Look at this.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15'While I was trying to figure out
0:11:15 > 0:11:18'how to cure Mum's obsession with the blank TV,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21'The Eggmeister was having mum problems of his own.'
0:11:21 > 0:11:25My name's Mrs Egg and this is my show and tell.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I spent years working at my art.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I had a whole bunch of stuff I wanted to show.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36And so much to tell.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41But then nobody wanted to buy it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44And so I started to think that none of it was any good.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And so I sold it all for scrap.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56And now...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58there's nothing to show.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01And nothing to tell.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04What about you, Joy?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06My name is Joy Leonard.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And as far as I'm concerned...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12this is the ultimate show and tell.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Show and tell sucks. I never get to have my turn.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I wish I could say the same. - Dot's was the one.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Everyone loved it. They talked about it all day.- Phillip.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I don't need to hear about it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- At least you got your turn. - I didn't get a turn.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I was the show. And the tell.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I don't care. I'm Captain Chicken.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm Captain Chicken.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- I'm Captain Chicken. - I'm Captain Chicken.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- I'M Captain Chicken! - I'M Captain Chicken!
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- I'M Captain Chicken!- You suck.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Big ones.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00WATER RUNNING
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Mum! MUM!
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Sweetheart.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Did you leave the plug in the sink?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Hmm. Possibly. - And you didn't see it overflowing?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It's a wonder I can see anything at all.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Our eyes are constantly being bombarded
0:13:25 > 0:13:28with electromagnetic radiation hitting our planet.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Your mum's just a bit tired. She...needs more sleep.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Mum!
0:13:48 > 0:13:52What I reckon you need... is a project.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Hey. I've got a plan to fix everything.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Our mums, the river, the whole lot.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05'Egg and I gave our mums their own private show and tell.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08'We told them the pollution's coming from the factory,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10'pouring waste straight into the river.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12'If we plugged up the pipe,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14'then the waste would go back up into the factory.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16'Teach them a lesson.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18'Then Egg showed how he'd saved
0:14:18 > 0:14:21'his mum's welding gear from the scrap pile.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23'I came up with something for us to weld.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28'Sometimes, too much mixed grill really IS enough.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30'We were ready to get to work.'
0:14:32 > 0:14:33This is great.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37My mum's out of the house and your mum's welding again.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42And soon enough, we'll be able to swim here again.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Without puking.- You can swim.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I'll just, um, supervise.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Except for one thing...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01We were swimming up there at the bridge.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Not down here.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Same river. - Yeah, but that's upriver.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- And rivers don't usually flow uphill.- Exactly.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11So how did the pollution get up there?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Maybe the tide pushed it up there. - Tide doesn't go up that far.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19If the pollution isn't coming from the factory...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Where's it coming from?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Have you noticed that the river is getting skinnier?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- FAINT WHIRRING - Shhh. Listen... Come on.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Private property? Must be a private lake or something on the other side.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Yeah. And if there is, it's not supposed to be there.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12How do you know that?
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Well, by the looks of it, it's been dammed. Totally unnatural.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20And if it has, no wonder the rest of the river's polluted.
0:16:20 > 0:16:27- No flow.- No flow?- If fresh water doesn't have flow, it gets sick.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Like a fish tank without a filter? - Yeah. It goes green
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and starts to pong and before you know it,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36you're flushing dead fish down the toilet.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38How do you know so much about this?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I read all the stuff John East gave us. To impress Dot.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Ha! That's sad, man. Really sad.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Ha, ha! Man, you've got to put her out of her misery.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52I know. I'm going to. After. Come on Eggmeister.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- Let's take a closer look. - Right behind you, Captain.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I am Captain Chicken!
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Hey, Captain. You were right!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21HE LAUGHS
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Whoa!
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Hey!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- What are you up to? - We're just looking at this dam.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Someone reckons it's, um, unnatural.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Who reckons?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- The Captain.- The Captain?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- This is an illegal dam!- Rubbish. This is a private watercourse
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- and it's perfect for my jet ski. - You lied to us!
0:17:52 > 0:17:53- You're a traitor.- Listen!
0:17:53 > 0:17:59Two things. One, this is private property. Two, you guys are leaving.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Right now!- Fine. We're leaving.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- But the Captain hasn't finished with you yet.- Yeah, what he said.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I'll be back. Come on, Eggmeister, let's go.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16'When Egg and I arrived back,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20'our mums hadn't finished sealing up the factory pipe yet.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25'But we didn't say anything. It was Captain Chicken's best idea yet.'
0:18:25 > 0:18:26- Woo-hoo!- Yes!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28'Then he had an even better one.'
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Phillip? It's time for your show and tell.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Way to go, Corporal Phillip!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Phillip?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Phillip!- Woo-hoo!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- That was awesome! Haw-haw! - Are you OK?- Oh, yeah!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'm Captain Chicken.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- You're so not Captain Chicken. - I AM Captain Chicken!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Hey, Lockie. Check this out.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Flow.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Well done, mate. You restored the flow!- Yeah!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Yeah!- Yeah!- Woo!
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- Whoa.- Oh yeah!- Ha-ha.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- Woo!- Yeah! Yes!- Yeah, well done.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Phillip?
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I heard a rumour today. About an illegal dam being destroyed.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- You should never believe rumours, Sarge.- Uh-huh.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Where the devil did I put it?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46So, what are you gonna do? About the dam?
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Well, we've arrested the owner, Wally Norton.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56He's been charged with illegal dam building,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00water siphoning. But, uh...
0:20:01 > 0:20:04As far as dam-busting goes...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I trust that sort of thing won't be happening again.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Sure, Sarge. Even though I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Anyone seen my barbecue hotplate? Can't find it anywhere.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I'm Captain Chicken.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I AM Captain Chicken.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00LOCKIE GROANS
0:21:00 > 0:21:03'OK. So Captain Chicken chickened out on me.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04'Again!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07'I guess this is something I have to do on my own.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09'But how do you tell someone
0:21:09 > 0:21:11'you don't want to hang around them any more?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14'It's cruel. Like hurting an innocent baby lamb.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17'I can't hurt an innocent baby lamb... Can I?'
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Dot. I've been thinking.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24A lot. About stuff.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25'Oh, no!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28'Look at those eyes, the eyes of a lamb!'
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- 'I can't hurt her like this.' - What have you been thinking about?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I think I need more space.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- What are you talking about? - I just don't think I'm ready
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- for anything too full-on right now. - The waves aren't that big.- No!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I mean, look...
0:21:44 > 0:21:47It's us. No! It's not you that's the problem, Dot, it's me.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I don't know what you're talking about,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53but, Lockie, I think we need to break up.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58'Hang on. Excuse me? How did that happen? I was meant to dump HER!'
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I wanna stop being your girlfriend. We're better off as friends,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04that's all. Are you OK with that?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- I guess so.- Cool.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Well, let's go for a surf.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15'OK. Status report. Suddenly, all my problems?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19'They were gone! There was nothing left to show and tell.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22'And so, there was only one thing left to do.'
