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# That was just enough to get that far away. #

0:00:32 > 0:00:34There are 365 days in the year.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38So, with all those days to choose from,

0:00:38 > 0:00:41how is it that two of the most important people in my life

0:00:41 > 0:00:42are born on the same day?

0:00:42 > 0:00:47Vicki's birthday and Phillip's birthday all at once.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Full-on stuff.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Sometimes things happen that are right out of your control.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00- That's the biggest cake I've ever seen.- Yeah.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Mum's gone a bit overboard.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06So, is your dad letting you out of prison tomorrow for your birthday?

0:01:06 > 0:01:08No. I'm still a prisoner.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09'Vicki was grounded.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13'Ever since Curtis and his mates broke her parents' table.'

0:01:13 > 0:01:16HEAVY METAL-STYLE MUSIC PLAYS

0:01:19 > 0:01:22I'm allowed to invite one friend to lunch.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23You have to come.

0:01:32 > 0:01:33New furniture?

0:01:33 > 0:01:36This is the most expensive new table in history.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Dad, can Lockie come to my birthday party?- Lockie?

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- I don't know any Lockie.- Yes, you do. He came to the river with us.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47You mean the clown who can't waterski?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49'That'd be right. He forgets my name,

0:01:49 > 0:01:52'but has to remember this...'

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Aaargh!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Stupid kid nearly wrecked everything.- Dad, this is Lockie.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Ah, yes, good. Hello.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Can he come to my birthday party? - Well, of course, kitten.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'm the one who told you to invite him.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Silly duffer.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Mum, Lockie's coming to my party. - That's nice. Barry?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Where are we going to put the new table?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Outside of course.- I'm not having it damaged by the weather.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- It's an outdoor table! - What am I supposed to wear?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Something special.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Is this OK?- No.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- You need to get dressed up. - Vicki is wearing fancy dress.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40A very fancy dress.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42'Back home, unlike me,

0:02:42 > 0:02:45'Phillip wasn't giving his birthday too much thought.'

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Yeah, it's my birthday!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50It's my birthday! It's my birthday!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Yeah, my birthday!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Not your birthday till tomorrow, Phillip.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Yeah, it's my birthday.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Joy, have you seen...?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04- What's that?- I bought a bread maker.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Did we win the lottery?- I couldn't afford not to buy it, Sarge.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09This thing's gonna save us thousands of dollars.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- How?- We won't have to buy any more bread.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17Cool. So long as you leave plenty of cash for my birthday present.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I could use it to make your birthday cake.

0:03:20 > 0:03:21It's a bread maker.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Well, cake, bread, not much difference.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Mum? I need a costume.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Vicki's having a birthday party tomorrow.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's fancy dress.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37- As long as you still come to my birthday lunch.- 'Oh!

0:03:37 > 0:03:40'Double-booked.' Of course. I'll go to both.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- And I'll make you a costume. - Really?

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Hm. With this new bread maker,

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'll have free time to do other things.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'll make you the best costume ever.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53I was thinking a pirate. Like in the movies.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Oh. You'll be the best pirate.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03"Bread making step by step with your friendly guide, Bread Boy..."

0:04:03 > 0:04:05'The first time I saw Bread Boy,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08'the little cartoon guy in Mum's bread making book,

0:04:08 > 0:04:12'I had no idea how much he would come to mean in my life.'

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Lockie, guess what I want for my birthday?

0:04:15 > 0:04:18I don't know. What do you want?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'm thinking sheets, Egyptian cotton sheets.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25The ones with the really high thread count. It's a reward.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27For when I stop wetting the bed.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Sure.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31'So, Vicki's dad hates me,

0:04:31 > 0:04:34'I'm double-booked for two different birthday parties,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36'and I don't have any money for presents.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39'Things are getting out of control.'

0:04:39 > 0:04:43No-o-o-o! 'I felt like I was falling out of the sky,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45'and I didn't know where I was going to land.'

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Dad?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Meanwhile, Egg had made a big discovery.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50Dad?

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Dad?!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Oh-oh-oh!

0:04:56 > 0:04:58You never told me about this!

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Uh, no, I was keeping that one a secret.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07ROCK 'N' ROLL PLAYS IN BACKGROUND

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Dad, listen to this. You're rockin' out!

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I recognise that song.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Mum, have you seen this?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Of course I have.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26That was your dad's band.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29His music was why I fell in love with him in the first place.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32And he smashed guitars and everything!

0:05:37 > 0:05:39My dad, the rock star!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- I can't believe it. - Yeah, that is pretty cool.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Hey, maybe they've got more of his records in here.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Really? How many did he have?

0:05:46 > 0:05:47I dunno.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- HE SIGHS - Got any cash?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- No.- Me neither.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56And I have to buy two birthday presents. By tomorrow.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Hey, what if we go busking?

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- We can sing and play guitar. - I can't sing.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04And you don't have a guitar.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06I can play air guitar!

0:06:06 > 0:06:08For busking, I think you need a real guitar.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12I know where there's a real guitar.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Busking has to be less embarrassing

0:06:14 > 0:06:18than turning up to Vicki's without a decent present.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19Right?

0:06:19 > 0:06:22GENTLE GUITAR PLUCKING

0:06:40 > 0:06:42HE SIGHS What was I thinking?!

0:06:42 > 0:06:43He'll never let us use it.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Egg, how are you gonna know if you have Rev's rock genes or not

0:06:46 > 0:06:50unless you start playing real guitar in front of actual people?

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Very true.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53He'll understand.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27Back home, Mum was having an intense time with her new machine.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28BREAD MAKER WHIRRS

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Joy?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- You OK?- It's making a lot of noise in there.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Is it supposed to? - Bread Boy doesn't say.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Well, maybe if you... - Don't touch it!

0:07:42 > 0:07:44It's going to beep.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46When it's ready.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50You don't want me to go down the shops and get a loaf of bread...

0:07:50 > 0:07:51That's cheating.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Hey, you know my birthday?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Birthday? No, no, you haven't mentioned it.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Well, if Vicki's gonna have a fancy dress party,

0:08:02 > 0:08:03can I have one, too?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Yes, of course you can.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07We could dress fancy for dinner.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09I might come as a police sergeant.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12BEEP!

0:08:12 > 0:08:16This is it, it's ready. Stand back, Phillip, it's hot. Don't touch.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22It hasn't risen.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Looks...great!

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Hmmm...

0:08:32 > 0:08:33It's a disaster.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Disaster bread. Cool(!)

0:08:40 > 0:08:41SHE GROANS

0:08:41 > 0:08:44It was Mum's turn to feel like she was falling out of the sky...

0:08:44 > 0:08:46without a parachute.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Egg borrowed his dad's guitar.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52And we hit the streets to raise money through rock 'n' roll.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53TUNELESS # Blue eyes

0:08:53 > 0:08:55# Got no money

0:08:56 > 0:08:57# Oh, it ain't funny... #

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- SHE LAUGHS - Thanks, Sarge...

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- What exactly...- Croutons!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Joy made them herself... in the new bread maker.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Oh!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Mmmm! They're great, they're just, um...

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Mmmm! Like hard and inedible bits of bread.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Croutons! Like I said.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Croutons.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Bowl of soup, pop a few in...

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Bob's your uncle.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Over at the Streetons', Vicki was making important discoveries

0:09:50 > 0:09:52of her own about having a birthday.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Because at the Streetons',

0:09:53 > 0:09:55birthday parties were a little bit different.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58What are you doing with those, Kitten?

0:09:58 > 0:10:01- It's so we can have music. - I don't want them out here.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05- But it's a party! - Put them back inside. Now.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Look, I can't have loud music out here

0:10:07 > 0:10:10when I'm trying to talk to Shay Pickering.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Who?- Shay Pickering. He's a very well-connected businessman

0:10:13 > 0:10:15and he's deaf in one ear.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19I need Shay's help with a very important deal I'm putting together.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Careful!

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Crikey.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28Meanwhile, Egg turned out to be pretty good at the busking thing.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30We were actually making some money.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Mostly because all the shop-keepers offered us money

0:10:33 > 0:10:36if we'd pack up and go away.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Egg and I were really getting into it. We were going off!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- HE SCREAMS - But then Egg had a brain explosion.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Aargh! Ugh!

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Later, Egg said it was a tribute to his dad's rock 'n' roll moves.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53SOMEONE CLAPS

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Aargh! Aargh! Aaaargh!

0:11:02 > 0:11:05The good news was we'd made money.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Maybe enough money to buy Vicki her present.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Maybe I'd even have enough to get Phillip his sheets, too.

0:11:10 > 0:11:15The bad news was we had to replace Reverend Egg's guitar first.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19For a battered old piece of junk,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Rev's new guitar cost a lot of money.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26But there was an old book of fairytales I could afford for Vicki.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29It wasn't much, but it was something, I guess.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32And with the change, I was able to buy Phillip something, too.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Not the same as Egyptian sheets,

0:11:34 > 0:11:35but it had a high thread count.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Mum and the bread maker were having a full-on staring competition.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Mum, about the fancy dress party...

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- BEEP! - It's beeping.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Doesn't that mean the bread's ready? - I'm too nervous to touch it.

0:11:58 > 0:12:03What's one more loaf of disaster bread? You've cooked 10 of them.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04Phillip...

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Careful. It's hot!

0:12:08 > 0:12:09Oh...

0:12:11 > 0:12:14This...is my last attempt.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24HISSING

0:12:28 > 0:12:30It's...perfect.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32It really is.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33It's perfect bread.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42I love you, Bread Boy.

0:12:44 > 0:12:49Mum, about my fancy dress lunch... If Lockie's gonna be a pirate,

0:12:49 > 0:12:52I'm thinking I should be a naval officer.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55You know, the white suit, shiny buttons...

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Uh, Mum, hello!

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yes, Phillip?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, um, I'll take care of the costume myself.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07I've pretty much got it nailed.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10All you have to worry about now is Lockie's.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Mum made perfect bread.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15And that gave her a brilliant idea.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20The asphalt musketeer.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23The climber of the school-yard tree.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28For him, each twig a new adventure.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Each moment, a bold experiment.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40A jaunty ride on life's fine feathered freeway.

0:13:41 > 0:13:47He is our son, our brother, our friend and our companion.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52The one, the only...

0:13:53 > 0:13:55..the Phillip.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58MUFFLED SPEECH

0:13:58 > 0:14:00What did Loaf Man say?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Oh, it's not Loaf Man, it's Bread Boy.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06I think Bread Boy said it's time for me to open my presents.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Not until we've had lunch. I think I've got the measurements wrong.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Is it too tight? Are you OK?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14MUFFLED SCREAMING

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Oh, I think he's saying it's time to go to Vicki's party.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- All right, well, I'll drive you.- Already?

0:14:22 > 0:14:24I'm being abandoned. At my own birthday!

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Standing at Vicki's front door with my head in a loaf of bread -

0:14:38 > 0:14:41this is not how I'd imagined my grand entrance.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45HE GRUNTS

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Hmmm...

0:15:02 > 0:15:03- MUFFLED:- Huh?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06- MUFFLED:- Oh, no.

0:15:08 > 0:15:09'Things got worse when I realised

0:15:09 > 0:15:12'I'd brought Phillip's present instead of Vicki's.'

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- HE GROWLS - 'A piece of old rope.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16'For the birthday girl.'

0:15:22 > 0:15:23DISTANT CONVERSATION

0:15:23 > 0:15:25- MUFFLED:- Huh?

0:15:25 > 0:15:26POLITE PARTY CONVERSATION

0:15:28 > 0:15:31'This was no fancy dress party.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33'I mean, Vicki's dress was...fancy!'

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Vicki's wearing fancy dress. A very fancy dress!

0:15:38 > 0:15:42'But her dress wasn't...FANCY-fancy, if you know what I mean.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43'I'd got it wrong.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45'And it was time to get the hell out of there.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49'The thing about the Streetons' house, it's climate-controlled.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50'Air-conditioned.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53'Very cool in summer, warm in winter.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56'Impossible to escape from, all year round.'

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Sal, pass these around, we're getting a bit peckish.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08'This was turning into the biggest disaster of my life!

0:16:08 > 0:16:11'I was supposed to be impressing these people,

0:16:11 > 0:16:14'not hiding in their bedroom dressed-up as a loaf of bread.'

0:16:14 > 0:16:15MUFFLED SHOUTING

0:16:15 > 0:16:19'I don't know why Mum made my Bread Boy outfit one-piece.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21'Maybe so I couldn't take it off.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25'In a panic, I called Egg - told him to bring me a change of clothes.'

0:16:27 > 0:16:28PHONE RINGS

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Hello?

0:16:31 > 0:16:32MUFFLED SHOUTING

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Hello? Who is this?

0:16:34 > 0:16:35MUFFLED SHOUTING

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- 'Egg thought I was a prank caller.' - HE SIGHS

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- DRAMATIC MUSIC - Huh?

0:17:23 > 0:17:24MUFFLED SCREAM

0:17:38 > 0:17:40- KNOCK ON DOOR - Hello?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14CAKE SQUELCHES

0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's some kind of strange burglar.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Dad, it's not a burglar.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23It's Lockie!

0:19:24 > 0:19:25Hi, Mr Streeton.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06- # I'm a hard omelette... # - Wait a minute, I'll show you...

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Here, this is how it went.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24# You put me in the frying pan

0:20:24 > 0:20:27# You flipped me upside, upside down

0:20:27 > 0:20:31# You left me there to sizzle dry

0:20:31 > 0:20:35# Feel like I'm-a, I'm a-gonna die

0:20:35 > 0:20:37# Crack me, bake me

0:20:37 > 0:20:39# Don't forsake me

0:20:39 > 0:20:41# Scramble me, poach me

0:20:41 > 0:20:43# Don't reproach me

0:20:44 > 0:20:47# I'm a hard omelette without you, babe

0:21:03 > 0:21:06While Egg took his mum on a trip down memory lane,

0:21:06 > 0:21:09I went home to clean up. And in the middle of all that chaos,

0:21:09 > 0:21:11somehow, I did one thing right.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14I got Phillip a second birthday present.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17The best birthday cake ever.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21Not that I told him why the Streetons didn't want it any more.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Sorry about the box. It got a bit ripped.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36I don't care.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Awww, Lockie, it's beautiful.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43It's not. I wanted to get you something else...

0:21:43 > 0:21:44No, seriously, I love it.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47I had the exact same one when I was little.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- But I wrecked your birthday. - HE SIGHS

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- And I dunno how I'm gonna make it up to your parents.- Sshhh.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- But I wrecked your cake.- I know.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02And I upset everybody.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06Lockie, you gave me the best birthday of my life.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09Thanks to you, I will never forget this birthday.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21# Boy, it's breaking

0:22:21 > 0:22:25# Underneath the wave of strength

0:22:25 > 0:22:27# Ah-ha-ha

0:22:28 > 0:22:30# Ah-ha-ha

0:22:31 > 0:22:33# Worlds away from anyone

0:22:33 > 0:22:35# They were burning themselves

0:22:35 > 0:22:37# Out in the sun

0:22:37 > 0:22:39# There was just enough

0:22:39 > 0:22:42# To get that far away... #
