0:00:05 > 0:00:07# Hello! My name is Mr Bloom
0:00:07 > 0:00:10# And I'd like to come to see you soon
0:00:10 > 0:00:13# I'm out on the road, you see
0:00:13 > 0:00:15# Here and there so that we
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# Can get together and have some fun
0:00:19 > 0:00:24# I'll help you out if there's work to be done
0:00:24 > 0:00:27# So where is it you like to go?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45# Here and there
0:00:45 > 0:00:49# I'm here and there. #
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Mr Bloom.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I love going here and there finding out where you live
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and what you like to get up to.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The route finder has brought me to Falkirk in Scotland
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and there is loads going on up here.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Some tiddlers have been showing me all around.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08So, let's find out what you can get up to in Falkirk.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14There is a bridge to go over.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And a colourful tunnel to walk under.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24You can take a ride on a boat.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26HORN SOUNDS
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Or even a train.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And the tiddlers around here certainly like to keep busy.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41There are hills up high and a gentle river flows on by.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46There are beautiful gardens for everyone to enjoy.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I can certainly see why the tiddlers love where they live.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55HOOTER SOUNDS
0:01:59 > 0:02:05WHISTLING
0:02:05 > 0:02:07This here is Westquarter Glen
0:02:07 > 0:02:11and it's another fantastic place you can visit in Falkirk.
0:02:11 > 0:02:17It's got this river running through it and it has its own waterfall.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Later today, I'm going to meet some tiddlers
0:02:21 > 0:02:24who like to keep this area nice and tidy.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26ALARM
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Hello! Hey, the route finder wants to show us more about Falkirk
0:02:30 > 0:02:32and that is Beth.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Come and visit us, Mr Bloom.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36CHEERING
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Beth and her friends are finding out about how apples grow
0:02:40 > 0:02:42in a nearby orchard.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45This is Mrs Miller, an apple-growing expert.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, tiddlers, what do you think of these apples?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Are they ready to pick? - BOTH: No.- No!
0:02:51 > 0:02:55That's right, we've got two nice big ones and three little ones.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58So, we're going to take off the little apples
0:02:58 > 0:03:00to let the big apples grow more.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03We call it thinning out the apples.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Good work, Amy. - Let's take off the little one.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Now you've taken these little apples,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11what will happen to the rest?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14They are going to start growing.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Yeah, they're going to grow bigger and bigger.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Tiddlers, what do you think those brown things are in the middle?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- ALL: Seeds. - Yeah, they're also known as pips.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Would you like to plant some pips? - ALL: Yeah!- Yeah?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Tiddlers, hold out your hands like that. That's it.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Make a little hole in your pot.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Those pips might turn into a little tree like this
0:03:37 > 0:03:40called a sapling and then, one day,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42yummy apples will grow on its branches
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and we can use the apples to make delicious apple pie.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Look at that! Wow!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57That apple pie... It was delicious!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00It was even better than Granny Bloom's.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03There's loads more going on round here, you know.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05ALARM
0:04:05 > 0:04:08See if you can guess what the route finder will show us next.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13It runs on rails and you can take a ride on it. Can you guess?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's a train!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's a steam train and I know a tiddler called Findlay
0:04:21 > 0:04:24who is lucky enough to live right next to a steam railway.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Can we ride on a steam train, Findlay?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30You just need a ticket from here
0:04:30 > 0:04:34and you'll be rootin' tootin' on the train!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38With coal in its engine, the train is ready to go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41WHISTLE BLOWS
0:04:44 > 0:04:48While the tiddlers enjoy the ride, Findlay helps the conductor.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Please can I have your ticket?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Thank you.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58There you go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Top job!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What can we see out the window?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11You can see the water and I can see the shore.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14That's right. I think I like going slow.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Eh-up! I've spied another train.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24This one looks a bit empty.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- We could plant some plants in it. - That is a top idea.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Come on! Let's get cracking.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I've got some passengers.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38THEY LAUGH
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Pop them in.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Findlay, I think you need to be driving this train, don't you?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46The train is ready to go.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48HOOTER BLASTS
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Those tiddlers did a good job of brightening up that picnic area.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58The other day, I met some tiddlers in Falkirk
0:05:58 > 0:06:01who've got a river running right by their school.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yeah, very lucky! In fact, this is what happened.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- I'm Luca.- I'm Keira.- I'm Sean.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10ALL: And we love where we live.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm finding out about kick sampling in the river.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19You have to place your foot where it's nice and comfortable then you
0:06:19 > 0:06:24have to kick the riverbed so all the fish can get into the net.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Eh, this is great fun, but we must be careful and only go
0:06:27 > 0:06:31in parts of the river that the teacher says are safe.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Look! All the sediment is coming up.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Maybe there's a few animals in there, as well.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Brilliant!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Let's see what we've got.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Oh, I wonder what they are!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I think that's a stonefly nymph.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Eh, look at it wiggle!
0:06:55 > 0:07:01It's great fun painting these rocks. Keira, that is brilliant.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02It's a fish in a fish tank
0:07:02 > 0:07:06and I've got some grass here, too, to make fish food.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Fish food! In case he gets hungry.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14And the rocks look brilliant with all these flowers around them.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Look at that! A lovely bench for everyone to sit and enjoy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23APPLAUSE
0:07:23 > 0:07:28The tiddlers created a colourful little garden around that bench.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30There's another tiddler I know called Hannah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32She lives in Falkirk, too,
0:07:32 > 0:07:37and there is something really special she can see from her house.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43The Falkirk Wheel is a huge lift, but not for people, for boats.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Here we go, tiddlers. We're going into the Falkirk Wheel.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51The Wheel will take us from this low down part of the canal
0:07:51 > 0:07:54to another part of the canal that is much higher up.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56We're going high!
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- That's a big hill.- That's right, Prasoon, it is a big hill.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Look out there!
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- I can see the top of the Falkirk Wheel.- Well done, Prasoon.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think we're nearly there!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Hey, tiddlers, we've arrived at the top of the Falkirk Wheel.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21We're now as high as eight double-decker buses
0:08:21 > 0:08:24all piled on top of one another.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30We can see a lot more from up here, can't we?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Hannah, can you see your house? Do you know where it might be?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- That way.- Really? That way?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41You can see much further when you're up high, but you know what they say?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43What goes up must come down.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45We were soon back at the bottom.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51That ride on the Falkirk Wheel was right exciting.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Today, I'm supposed to be meeting some tiddlers round here.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Perhaps they're up there. Come on!
0:08:58 > 0:09:03WHISTLING
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- There you are, tiddlers. Hello! - ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14It's nice to see you, Michaela. And you must be Charlie and Niamh.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- So, what are you up to today? - We're litter picking.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Hey, that sounds a very good thing to do,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23because I saw a fair amount of litter on my way here today.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Tell us why it might not be good for the glen.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Because it could affect the wildlife.- That's right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And also it's not very nice to look at, is it? You know what they say?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Many hands make light work.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The more people we have, the quicker we can get the job done.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- Does that sound good to you? - ALL: Yes.- Yeah. Oh, ha-ha! Look!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Here's the other tiddlers I met in Falkirk.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55CHEERING
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Aw! Hello tiddlers. Hello, mums and dads.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- ALL: Hello! - Thank you for coming today
0:10:00 > 0:10:03because we've got a lot of litter to pick up.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05But, I reckon, if we all work together,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07we can get the glen clear in no time.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- So, are you ready to get cracking? - ALL: Yeah!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Well, let's clear this glen!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16The tiddlers know they must always wear gloves
0:10:16 > 0:10:19when litter picking and never pick up litter with their hands.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Always use a grabber.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Some rubbish can't be recycled.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Like sweetie wrappers and crisp packets,
0:10:28 > 0:10:33so they have to go straight in the black bag. Lovely!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I know why we need to do litter picking.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42If you don't do litter picking it's bad for the environment.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Mm-hm. It's to keep the world healthy.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Right! What kind of rubbish have we got here?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oh, some plastic, some metal.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Yep, pop them in, because they don't need to be thrown away, do they?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01They can be recycled.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05They can be turned into something new or they can be used again.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08There we are! There's some more metal in there.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Well, would you look at that! Not a crisp packet or a bottle in sight.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I'd say that's a pretty good job. What would you say?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I think everybody's done excellent.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And lots of this rubbish can be recycled into useful things.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31How about we give ourselves a big cheer? Hip hip...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33ALL: Hurray!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well done for coming together, everybody.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It's time I was on my way. So, join me soon when I'll be...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41ALL: Here and there.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Yeah! Bye-bye, everybody. - ALL: Bye.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47# Where is it you like to go?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48# Call me up and let me know
0:11:48 > 0:11:51# What is it you like to do?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54# I'll pop along and do it to
0:11:54 > 0:11:56# Cities, towns or countryside
0:11:56 > 0:11:58# I can travel far and wide
0:11:58 > 0:12:01# I'm all about and everywhere
0:12:01 > 0:12:03# I'm here and there. #
