Hello, this is a nice surprise.

Mr Bloom here, you've caught me getting ready

to go out on my travels.

I'm going to be going here and there,

meeting up with you and finding out what you like to do.

Cos you do a lot. Some of you, I know, like to make things.

Others prefer to go for a ride on a boat,

or maybe feed the animals in a park.

PINGING

Excuse me. That's my Route Finder.

Oh, it looks like somebody wants to show me what they're up to.

-Hello, Mr Bloom. I'm Hazel.

-And I'm Zane.

-And our dads work...

-BOTH:

-Here!

This house is called Shugborough Hall.

My dad unlocks the big doors.

There's lots of rooms here, Mr Bloom.

-Do you like the chandelier, Zane?

-Yes.

-Can you see the colours glistening?

-Yes! It looks like a rainbow.

It does look like a rainbow, doesn't it?

GOAT BLEATS

PIG OINKS

There is a farm near the hall. I come here with my dad.

Lady Grey is a shire horse. She's really tall and very friendly.

This is Iglet, the piglet, and she loves it here, too.

-Why don't you come and see us Mr Bloom?

-We can show you around.

Ooh, sounds good. I better hurry.

You coming as well?

Come on, it's this way!

# Where abouts will I end up next?

# Let's put my Route Finder to the test

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

# Museum or a school, a garden so pretty

# A church or a station, a river or town

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

# Tiddlers, I'm on my way

# So where am I today?

-ALL:

-West Midlands!

Well, there's no sign of the Tiddlers in this field.

But I could always try that barn.

Hey, I wonder what I'll find to put into my log book today?

I can't wait to find out. You coming?

GOAT BLEATS

PIG OINKS

HORSE SPUTTERS

Hey, hello there, Hazel. Hello, Zane. Hello, Dad.

-ALL:

-Hello, Mr Bloom!

It's nice to see you. And who've we got here?

-These are baby chicks, they were born last night.

-Ah!

And we saw one being hatched out of their eggs.

-Wow! They're brand-new.

-BOTH:

-Yes.

Well, they're very cute, and I was wondering...

Hazel, is it possible to go and meet Iglet the pig?

-Yes, she's got her own room over there.

-Really? Her own room?

-Yeah.

It sounds very fancy. Why don't you give the chicks to Dad?

There you go. You take care of them.

We'll go and meet Iglet.

Lead on, then. Go on, off you go.

Ah! So this must be where

Iglet lives cos, look, she's got her own little pig door.

-Is this Iglet?

-Yeah.

-Hello, Iglet!

IGLET OINKS

-It's very nice, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-What's she got on the floor?

-Lots of hay and food.

-Yeah. Do you think that keeps her comfy?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

I reckon Iglet must love it in her room there.

Yes, she does. And I made you your very own Iglet, Mr Bloom.

Hey, thanks, Hazel. Oh, it's an Iglet of my very own!

And you know where I'll put this, don't you?

I'm going to put this in my log book,

because Iglet is a very special pig with a very special room.

-There's more rooms here to show you.

-OK, well you lead on. Come on.

Look how big this house is.

Glad I've got you Tiddlers to show me around.

I bet there are loads of exciting rooms inside.

This house was built more than 300 years ago, Mr Bloom.

In Georgian times.

So Zane, who's this here? My daddy.

-Ah, hello there, Dad.

-Hello, Mr Bloom.

-Nice to meet you.

-So, Zane, what does your dad do?

-He's got keys to all the doors.

-That must be a big bunch of keys, eh?

-Yeah. I think he's got 100.

-Really?

-Dad, can we go inside?

-Course you can.

I've opened the doors for you to have a look.

All right, then, let's go. We'll see you later. Come on!

Wow! Look at all these doors in here.

-So, where do all these doors lead to, Zane?

-Lots of different rooms.

-Ooh, sounds exciting. Where are we going to start?

-Over there.

All right, well, lead on.

Wow. This is a fancy old room, isn't it?

We've got a great big table. There's pictures all over the place.

What do you reckon this room was used for?

-They used to eat their tea.

-I think you're right.

And what do you think they ate, Hazel?

I think they might have eaten grapes and pears.

-I think they would have a very big feast.

-Wow.

So, shall we go and find the next door?

'Visitors must love exploring all these rooms.'

Wow, in you come. Now, this looks like a bit of an exciting room.

We've got books all over the place.

-Hazel, do you know what type of room this is?

-The library.

-Yeah, I reckon so.

-And why do you like to come here?

I like this room, because there's a secret door in it.

Can you spot it, Mr Bloom?

-What, there's a secret door here?

-Yes.

All right, well, I spy with my little eye...

Is the secret door over there?

-BOTH:

-No.

-No?

Is it down there, like a little mouse hole?

-BOTH:

-No.

-THEY LAUGH

All right, Hazel.

I think you're going to have to show me where this secret door is.

Ooh.

-Here, Mr Bloom.

-Here.

-Over there?

Hang on a minute. Are you being cheeky? I can't see a door here.

-It's just a load of books.

-No.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

No! They were right. There is a secret door here.

I don't know where it goes. Shall we go and find out?

Come on, then.

Hey, hang about. We're back where we started, aren't we?

-HE LAUGHS

-That's very clever.

I didn't realise there was a door there.

I thought it was just a bookshelf.

-PINGING

-Ooh, hang on.

You know what that is. That's my route finder.

I guess it wants to show us something.

'The door in the library was really well-hidden.

'And some animals like hiding, too. Tigers hide in the tall grass.

'The stripes on their fur are the same pattern as the grass

'and that makes them harder to see.

'Look at this octopus!

'It can change colour

'so it looks like the things at the bottom of the sea.

'And polar bears are covered in white fur.

'Perfect for hiding in the snow.'

Well, there you go. That was interesting.

Ooh, I wonder where those Tiddlers have got to?

Is that a door?

Hey up, this is a bit unusual.

Hello?

-Hello, Tiddlers. Hello, dads.

-ALL:

-Hello, Mr Bloom.

Hey, I tell you what Tiddlers...

This is a bit of an unusual place, isn't it?

Yes, it's a secret place with a secret door.

And there's lot of jewels all hanging around.

-We can show you lots of magical places.

-Is that so?

-Well, I guess you better lead on. See you later, dads.

-Bye!

-Bye.

Now, this looks like an interesting place. What's it called, Zane?

-The wilderness!

-Ooh, the wilderness.

So what goes on here, Hazel?

Children come and put different things on the trees

-like pinecones and feathers and sticks.

-Ah, I see.

So, people decorate the tree with things they find

-or things they bring along?

-Yeah.

-Ooh.

There's something curious over there. Is that...

Shall we go and take a look? I don't know what that is. Come on.

-So, what have we got here?

-It's a fairy house.

-Really?

-Is this where the fairies live?

-Yeah.

-Ooh, go on, then.

Let's see if there's anyone there.

-HE WHISPERS:

-Is there anyone there?

-I don't think so.

All right, let's carefully, open the door.

-Little shiny things.

-It's a message.

-Do you think it's for us?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

Go on, then, let's see. I'll open it up. Look, it says:

One more door. Do you know where that door is?

-BOTH:

-It's over there!

-Really?

All right, you lead the way. I'll shut the door.

Let's go.

Well, we found the door. Shall we see what's inside?

-BOTH:

-Yeah! OK.

-Right, what have we got?

-A tree.

-Ooh, a tree.

I'll tell you what...

There's not very much on that tree, is there?

-BOTH:

-No.

-No, it's a bit bare.

-What's down there, next to the tree, Hazel?

-Decorations.

-Ah! Do you think the fairies want us to decorate the tree?

-Yeah.

All right, then, in we go.

-Ooh, I like this.

-BOTH LAUGH

Ooh, that's nice.

It's like we're giving the trees some special leaves, isn't it?

We'll come all the way up here.

Do you think the fairies will like this tree?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Yeah. There we go.

I think the tree's finished.

Well, Tiddlers, we've seen lots of doors today, haven't we?

And they all lead to different places.

Looking at this tree, I think we've done a fine job.

-What do you reckon?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

And there's one ribbon left, Mr Bloom.

-Would you like it?

-Hey, that's very thoughtful of you, Hazel.

You know where I'll put this, don't you? In my log book.

Here we are, it'll go next to the little poem the fairies wrote us.

Ah! And look here. This is that little model of Iglet you made me.

They'll all go together so I can remember what a magical day we had.

Why don't you go here and there and find out about

all the exciting places where you live?

-ALL:

-We've been here.

-ALL:

-We've been there.

-ALL:

-We've been everywhere.

Why don't you go to the CBeebies website,

where you can make your very own Here and There log book, too?

Tiddlers, I've had a right old time today. Have you had fun?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

I'm very glad to hear it, but, you know what?

It's time I was on my way. So join me soon when I'll be...

-BOTH:

-Here and there!

-You're not wrong. Bye-bye.

-BOTH:

-Bye!
