# Can get together and have some fun

0:00:140:00:17

# I'll help you out if there's work to be done

0:00:230:00:26

# What is it you like to do?

0:00:290:00:31

# I'll pop along and do it too

# I'm here and there

0:00:400:00:43

# Here and there

0:00:430:00:45

# I'm here and there. #

0:00:450:00:48

Hey, hello there, tiddlers, how you tiddling?

0:00:520:00:55

Oh, Mr Bloom here and I like going out and about.

0:00:550:00:58

Yeah, I like going here and there doing lots of fun things

0:00:580:01:02

and finding out about new places.

0:01:020:01:04

And I've been wondering what do you like to do where you live? Hm?

0:01:040:01:08

Perhaps you might like to do a spot of horse riding or maybe

0:01:080:01:11

-a bit of gardening like me.

-BELL RINGS

0:01:110:01:15

Someone's got in touch. Shall we see who it is?

0:01:150:01:18

Hello, my name is Hannah.

0:01:190:01:21

I like playing in my garden.

0:01:210:01:24

I love playing with my Hula Hoop.

0:01:270:01:32

I really like doing that.

0:01:320:01:34

I like watering my flowers.

0:01:350:01:38

I like bouncing on my trampoline.

0:01:420:01:46

I love where I live!

0:01:460:01:48

I can see the Falkirk Wheel from my house.

0:01:510:01:54

The Falkirk Wheel is a huge lift but not for people, for boats.

0:01:560:02:01

Today, I'm going to the canal with my friends Ben and Prasoon.

0:02:040:02:09

BOAT HORN HONKS

0:02:090:02:11

It would be great if you came along, Mr Bloom.

0:02:130:02:16

ALL: Yay!

0:02:160:02:19

Eh, well, that'd be grand. Best be on my way then.

0:02:190:02:23

# Whereabouts will I end up next?

0:02:300:02:33

# Let's put my routefinder to the test

0:02:340:02:37

# It could be a beach, a village or a city

0:02:390:02:41

# Museum or a school, a garden so pretty

0:02:410:02:44

# A church or a station, a river or town

0:02:440:02:46

# I just can't wait till you show me around

0:02:460:02:49

# Tiddlers, I'm on my way

0:02:490:02:53

# So, where am I today? #

0:02:530:02:57

Now, I wonder where Hannah and her friends are.

0:03:080:03:12

ALL: We're over here, Mr Bloom.

0:03:120:03:15

Oh, hello.

0:03:150:03:17

I'll come round.

0:03:170:03:18

-Hey! Hello there, tiddlers.

-ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom.

0:03:260:03:30

Thanks for inviting me, Hannah.

0:03:300:03:32

It's nice to see you, Prasoon, and you, Ben.

0:03:320:03:35

And it's lucky that bridge was there.

0:03:350:03:37

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come over.

0:03:370:03:41

Although it might cause a few problems for that fella.

0:03:410:03:44

How's he going to get his boat under that low bridge? What can we do?

0:03:450:03:49

We could move the bridge over that way because it's a swing bridge.

0:03:490:03:56

-I see, so does the bridge swing open?

-Yeah.

0:03:560:03:59

I see and then he can get his boat through.

0:03:590:04:02

Come on then, let's go.

0:04:020:04:03

One, two, three, heave!

0:04:050:04:08

Push, push, push!

0:04:080:04:11

There we are, push, that's it.

0:04:110:04:13

Come on, muscle man Ben, that's good going.

0:04:130:04:17

Come on, Prasoon, you can do it. All right, that's it, now we're cooking.

0:04:170:04:22

Very good. Now, stop pushing. Good work.

0:04:220:04:27

Hey, look, he can go through now.

0:04:280:04:30

There he goes.

0:04:300:04:32

Give him a wave.

0:04:330:04:34

Right.

0:04:340:04:36

So, now that boat's gone through, we need to put the bridge back.

0:04:360:04:39

Push! That's it.

0:04:390:04:41

Oh, you are strong tiddlers.

0:04:430:04:46

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

0:04:490:04:52

Now the bridge has swung back, people can cross the canal

0:04:520:04:55

and the boat continues on its way towards the lock.

0:04:550:04:59

Come here, Mr Bloom. The boat's going into the lock.

0:05:000:05:04

Hey. Sorry, tiddlers.

0:05:040:05:06

I was getting a brolly and my coat cos of this rain.

0:05:060:05:10

Oh, look. So what's going on here?

0:05:100:05:12

The boat's in the lock.

0:05:120:05:15

It's a kind of boat lift.

0:05:150:05:17

The gates close behind it.

0:05:180:05:20

It works like a bathtub.

0:05:210:05:23

You fill it up with water.

0:05:260:05:28

The water level rises.

0:05:290:05:32

It helps the boat to go from down low to up high.

0:05:340:05:39

The front gates open.

0:05:410:05:43

The boat goes through.

0:05:450:05:47

It takes a long time for this one boat to go through the lock,

0:05:470:05:51

-doesn't it?

-The Wheel's much faster.

0:05:510:05:53

Yeah, well, look at that.

0:05:550:05:56

I'm so excited about riding on that Wheel.

0:05:560:05:59

-Shall we climb aboard?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Follow me.

0:05:590:06:02

Under the umbrella, let's go.

0:06:020:06:03

Let's get on this boat.

0:06:030:06:05

Here we go, tiddlers, we're going into the Falkirk Wheel.

0:06:090:06:13

-Are we going to go down?

-No, we'll go up!

0:06:140:06:17

We are, we're going to go up.

0:06:170:06:19

That's right.

0:06:190:06:20

The Wheel will take us from this low-down part of the canal to

0:06:200:06:24

another part of the canal that's much higher up.

0:06:240:06:27

Oh, here we go.

0:06:270:06:29

We're going high.

0:06:310:06:33

Oh, look at that one!

0:06:370:06:39

-Oh, look, we can see the side of the wheel, can't we?

-Yeah.

0:06:390:06:43

You know what, tiddlers?

0:06:430:06:45

-I think we're reaching halfway.

-Halfway?

0:06:450:06:47

Yeah, we're not quite at the top and we're not quite at the bottom.

0:06:470:06:52

-That's a big hill.

-That's right, Prasoon, it is a big hill.

0:06:520:06:57

Look, Hannah, look out there.

0:06:570:06:59

-I can see the top of the Falkirk Wheel.

-Well done, Prasoon.

0:07:010:07:06

I think we're nearly there.

0:07:130:07:15

Hey, tiddlers, we've arrived at the top of the Falkirk Wheel.

0:07:200:07:24

We're now as high as eight double-decker buses all

0:07:240:07:27

piled on top of one another.

0:07:270:07:29

And we can see a lot more from up here, can't we?

0:07:330:07:36

Hannah, can you see your house? Do you know where it might be?

0:07:360:07:40

-That way.

-Really? That way?

0:07:400:07:43

-What can you see, Prasoon?

-We can see the tower!

0:07:430:07:46

The tower, yeah, the electricity pylons.

0:07:460:07:48

-I can see the signal of the boat.

-That's right.

0:07:480:07:52

Hey, look, the traffic light has changed from red.

0:07:520:07:55

-What's it changed to?

-Green.

-Green and green means we can...?

-Go.

0:07:550:08:01

-Go through.

-Yeah!

0:08:010:08:02

And, tiddlers, do you know canals were made by people?

0:08:030:08:08

Yeah, they dug them out.

0:08:080:08:10

And in the old days, do you know what people used canals for?

0:08:100:08:13

They helped people get from one place to another.

0:08:130:08:16

That's right and they could carry all sorts of things that

0:08:160:08:20

people needed from city to city.

0:08:200:08:23

And do you know how canal boats used to move?

0:08:230:08:25

-Do you know what they were pulled by?

-Horses.

-Horses, that's right.

0:08:250:08:30

-BELL RINGS

-Ooh.

0:08:300:08:33

Ah, look, it's the routefinder and I think it wants to show us

0:08:330:08:37

more about canals.

0:08:370:08:39

Ah, would you look at that?

0:08:390:08:41

A horse helping to pull a barge a long time ago.

0:08:410:08:45

Now, horses can still help but nowadays,

0:08:450:08:49

canal boats are powered by engines.

0:08:490:08:53

Some boats carry cargo.

0:08:530:08:56

Some people even live on canal boats.

0:08:560:08:59

They often paint their boats with colourful pictures

0:08:590:09:02

and put plant pots and flowers on the roof.

0:09:020:09:05

These tiddlers are showing us their boat.

0:09:080:09:12

There's a living room,

0:09:120:09:13

a kitchen,

0:09:130:09:15

somewhere to wash...

0:09:150:09:18

..and somewhere to sleep.

0:09:190:09:21

A floating home that can travel to all sorts of places.

0:09:240:09:28

Now, that sounds like fun to me.

0:09:280:09:30

We've been all the way up and now, we're back down again.

0:09:350:09:39

Oh, I tell you, tiddlers,

0:09:410:09:43

that Falkirk Wheel is a very clever invention, don't you think?

0:09:430:09:46

ALL: Yeah.

0:09:460:09:48

And all the colourful boats can travel on it.

0:09:480:09:51

-How about we make some boats of our own?

-ALL: Yeah!

0:09:510:09:54

I bet we can make them really colourful, couldn't we?

0:09:540:09:57

Come on, Ben, you lead on.

0:09:570:09:59

We're going to make a plastic bottle boat, that'll be fun, eh, tiddlers?

0:10:020:10:07

ALL: Yeah.

0:10:070:10:09

We've got an empty bottle and some things to decorate it with.

0:10:090:10:13

Now, let's start with these stickers. There we go.

0:10:130:10:16

Eh, tiddlers, do you remember that boat that the routefinder showed us?

0:10:170:10:22

What was on top?

0:10:220:10:23

-ALL: Flowerpots.

-Flowerpots, yeah, they had some flowers in.

0:10:230:10:28

Next, we can make a sail and we can draw pictures on them.

0:10:280:10:33

I'm drawing me.

0:10:330:10:34

-I'm going to draw a rose.

-A rose? Oh, very nice.

0:10:360:10:41

We have to put dried rice in the bottle

0:10:410:10:44

and that'll stop our boats from tipping over.

0:10:440:10:47

Top job.

0:10:470:10:49

So, all we need to do now is we need to put our sail onto our boat

0:10:530:10:58

and then we're ready to set sail.

0:10:580:11:00

The water park's the perfect place to try out our boats.

0:11:100:11:15

So, Prasoon, where's your boat going to go?

0:11:150:11:17

I'm going to put the boat on top of the water

0:11:170:11:20

and then the boat will go from up high to down low.

0:11:200:11:26

Woo-hoo!

0:11:260:11:28

It sailed right through.

0:11:280:11:30

And if you open this gate, it'll go even further down. Let's go.

0:11:300:11:34

Open...the gates!

0:11:340:11:37

-It's like those locks we saw earlier on.

-Yeah.

0:11:370:11:41

Well, I have had a fantastic time at the Falkirk Wheel today, tiddlers.

0:11:450:11:50

It's time I was off now but join me soon when I'll be...

0:11:500:11:53

ALL: Here and there.

0:11:530:11:55

-Bye-bye, tiddlers.

-ALL: Bye!
