Eight o'clock.

# Come on and get on down to the city

-# Where the ferryboat sails are blue

-Sails are blue

# Time to call on Granny Murray

# She'd love to say hello to you... #

Hello, honey pie!

Come away in and see who's at home today!

# Granny Murray's house has two at home to play

# Granny Murray's is home to... #

Who's here today?

Well, we've got Saffa and we've got Precious.

Don't just sit there, poppets!

Come on, let's get moving!

-Magic tricks.

-Get comfy.

Abracadabra!

Magico! Oh!

Abracadabra! Huh!

-I did it for real.

-Did you?

We've got Saffa and we've got Precious.

But someone's missing from home today.

Not any more. Who's coming home to Granny Murray?

Whose legs are those coming down the steps? Oh, it's Tina with Lisa.

Hello there!

Tina...and Lisa!

Hey! We've been having a magic time in here!

I used to do a magic act with Raymond.

He was very handsome in his top hat and magician's cape.

That's a great idea.

Why don't you all dress Claude up as a magician?

-And why don't we conjure up some comfy chairs?

-Good idea.

-What was your magic act called?

-Billy and Betty!

-Who did the tricks?

We took turns. But I kept dropping the props.

Then we turned it into a comedy act!

Well, I'm hoping to do a magic show myself.

I've been practising.

DRUM ROLL PLAYS

-DING!

-Granny Murray, that's incredible!

-You should have a magic show.

-Oh, will you look at Claude.

Oh, well done, dumplings!

You look smart, Claude. Not sure about the hat.

-Shouldn't it be a top hat for a magician.

-I don't have a top hat.

Sometimes you have to make the best of what you do have.

I could lend you Raymond's top hat and cape.

-Here you are.

-Is this for me?

My very own magic wand.

Time I was off to work. See you later, rascal.

Remember, it's fun to make things happen with the things you have.

Thank you, Granny Murray. I'll see you later.

-We'll be thinking of you.

-Me too.

Will you keep a wee eye on Tina?

Make sure she gets the right way to work.

# I'm on my way to work today-y-y

# Walking my shoes through the city views

# Stepping along I'm swinging my arms

# Singing my way through the city's charms

# Getting there is just so fine

# I so enjoy my walking time

# I always know the way I go

# Can you show me the way I go? #

-Hey!

-OK, which way?

# Do I go that way or do I go this?

# Which way's a hit and which way's a miss? #

Left!

OK, left to the garage.

# I'm on my way to work today

# Looking this way and that a way

# Hello, builders

# Hello, hat

# Hello, flower

-# Hello, cat

-Meow!

# Hello, green man

# Hello, flat

# Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah

# Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah

# Do I go up now or do I go down?

# Which way's a smile now which way's a frown? #

-Down!

-OK, down.

# You showed me the way I go

# Thank you, you showed me the way I know. #

Hey!

Phew! Well, what now?

Of course, I have to get ready for work.

All dressed and ready to go!

-Hiya.

-Raymond, what are you doing here? I thought you were at work.

I'm on my way but I want to brighten up the buffet car

-and I remembered the plastic flowers in the props store.

-Oh, yes,

-we used them in a show. What was it called?

-Don't forget your trousers.

-I'm wearing my trousers.

-No, that's what the play was called, silly.

I was telling Granny Murray about our magic act. Remember?

-Billy and Betty?

-Oh!

-Oh! Your old cloak and top hat. Fantastic!

-I said I'd lend these to Granny Murray.

-What about these? Hey presto!

-These'll look great in my buffet car.

-Well, I might need these as well.

Could you take the plastic flowers?

-Here they are.

-Thanks, love. I best be off.

TINA SIGHS

I wish I could magic Lisa here to see me.

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal

# Riverseafingal, by the sea

# I love to skip in Riverseafingal. #

Can't catch me, girls!

Oh, Lisa, you look just like your mum

when she drives about in her pink taxi all day.

Can you see me?

-Hi, Tina! Can I ask you a favour.

-Of course you can, Bobby.

What is it?

-I need to borrow a costume.

-Help yourself. They're all here!

Great, thanks.

What do you want the costume for?

Oh, you know...? This and that.

Ah! This and that!

You are being very suspicious, Bobby.

This very costume is perfect.

-Can I borrow it, please?

-Oh, sure!

See you later.

Yeah, but you haven't told me what you want the costume for...

Oh, well...

I wonder if I can use this stuff as my surprise for Lisa, later.

11 o'clock. I'd better get down to some work.

# City roads are waiting

-Hi, Rudi!

-Hello, Tina! What can I get for you?

I'd like two apples and two pears, please.

You got it!

Mmm. These oranges smell fresh.

I'll have three, please.

-There's a bag. Help yourself.

-Thank you.

And I'll just get you a box to put it in.

And speaking of boxes, would any flat-pack boxes be of use to you?

Actually, they might come in very handy.

I'll just pop them in the back of my cab with my shopping.

-Thanks, Rudi.

-See you later.

-Bye!

Oh!

Lisa's magic wand.

I hope Lisa's having a really magic time right now.

Come on, treasures, let's see what's in the Science Centre.

-Who wants to go?

-Me!

-Me!

-Me too! Come on!

Oh! Will you look at this!

The pretty flowers and the toadstool, Lisa!

Look, at Granny Murray's funny jumper.

Face in the mirror. Look at that wee head and the big, long body.

Wow! Guys, come and see this room. Isn't it magical!

I bet you and your mum would like to live in a magical house like this.

Where to, sir?

The Riversea Grand Hotel, please.

Oh, I recognise you, don't I?

You'd be amazed at all the famous people I get in the back of my cab.

I am in the biz myself, well when I'm not driving my taxi.

-Oh, darling?

-Yes...love?

-Change of plan.

-No problem, love.

-Do you know the Riverseafingal School?

-Of course.

-I'll have you there by three.

-Great. Thanks, darling.

My pleasure, love.

HORNS TOOT

Three o'clock on the dot, love.

This doesn't look like the Grand Hotel.

-It's the school.

-But I'm meant to be at the hotel to get changed.

-What...love?

-Do you know who I am?

I was trying to place you.

I am Roger Wizardo!

THE Roger Wizardo?! Oh, I don't believe it!

You made it, Mr Wizardo! The children will be so excited!

-Could I have an autograph for my nan?

-Harrumph!

Oh, no! I can't be seen like this!

-Is there something wrong?

-I've a performance at the school,

but I'm meant to go and change into my costume first, back at the hotel!

Crumbs! I seem to have made a mess of things.

I don't have time to take you to the hotel.

Where did the time go?

At eight, I dropped off Lisa at Granny Murray's

and the children dressed Claude as a magician, but there was no top hat.

I said you could borrow Raymond's magician's hat and cloak.

At nine o'clock, I got to the garage and changed for work.

Raymond fetched some plastic flowers.

He found his magician's top hat and cloak.

At ten o'clock, Bobby called in to borrow a fairy costume

At two o'clock, I popped to the market

and Rudi gave me a load of flat-pack boxes for the garage.

At three o'clock, a man got in my taxi and asked for the Grand Hotel.

He called me "darling" and changed his plan.

He wanted to go to the school instead. So, I brought him here.

I got it wrong. He needed to go to the hotel to change into his costume

because he's Roger Wizardo, the magician!

Remember it's fun to make things happen with the things you have.

Of course!

What do I have in the taxi that could help Roger Wizardo out?

A top hat, a magician's cloak

and some boxes!

It's a race against time!

# I've got to do it I've got to do it

# I've got to beat the clock before the chime

# I've got to sort it I've got to sort it

CHILDREN LAUGH

TAP! TAP! TAP!

SQUEAK!

I wish Lisa was here to see this.

Now, girls, what do you see in Granny Murray's hat?

-Nothing.

-Nothing?

-ALL: Abracadabra!

Ta-ta!

Hello, everybody, who wants to clap me?

Give me wee stroke. Hello. Rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr!

Oop, time for bed!

BUNNY: Night-night!

I miss Mummy.

Tina! Come away in!

-Look who's here, Lisa!

-Hello, Lisa.

-Hi!

-Hello, did you have a nice day with Granny Murray?

-You bet!

-Say thanks to Granny Murray.

-Thanks, Granny Murray.

Thanks, Granny Murray. I remembered what you said.

It's fun to make things happen with what you have. It saved the day!

Oh, is that so?

Come on, you'll want to be home.

-Rrrrr!

-Rrrrr!

-Come on, shall we talk about our time away?

And I suppose you'll want me to tell you all about my time too!

Well, there was...

# Waving, painting, greeting, waking, dozing

# Eating, sleeping, singing, sliding

# Jumping up and turning round

# Dressing up and sitting down! #

But what was really special about today? Well...

Claude was dressed as a magician

cos I was taking them for a magical day at the Science Museum.

First, we raced round in our scooters.

Lisa was just like her mum, at work in her taxi.

Then we went inside the Science Museum.

Oh, it was amazing!

We saw all sorts of magical things, like strange mirrors

that turned us into silly shapes and giant toadstools.

Then we came home and I did a magic show for the children.

It wasn't as good as Roger Wizardo the famous magician!

But the children loved it.

Did you have fun today? Me too!

Bye-bye, honey pie!
