0:00:03 > 0:00:05There is a place
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Not far from here
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I'm sure you know it
0:00:10 > 0:00:12It's ever so near
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Come down the path
0:00:15 > 0:00:18And you will see
0:00:18 > 0:00:20A little gate

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Ah, doesn't it look brilliant out there, Colin?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I said, "Colin, doesn't it look..."
0:01:21 > 0:01:25You're not looking out the window at all. You're reading!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27What is it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Reading bean! Captain Asparagus!
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Of course! It's your new Captain Asparagus comic!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Yeah, excited bean!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Oh, look! Here he is!
0:01:40 > 0:01:45That's right. I'm Captain Asparagus, here to save the day!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Hang on! That's not the real Captain Asparagus.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Can you see through walls?
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Er...yes, I can. In fact, I can see through that wall there.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01That's a window.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Oh, yes.- Can you really go invisible?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Oh, yes, yes. Can you turn around, please?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Can you see me?- No.- No.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Ta-da!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Oh, wow!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17That's not right.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Raymond!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Hello, Joan.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Whoops! Ha-ha!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23You caught me out then.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Well, yes, I am Raymond the squash by day, but by night
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- I'm Captain Asparagus! Wey-hey! - Wow!
0:02:32 > 0:02:38- You don't believe him, do you? - Amazed bean! Captain Asparagus!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Oh, dear...
0:02:41 > 0:02:42GURGLE! SQUELCH!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- TOOT-TOOT! - Hooray! The tiddlers are here!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Oh! And Mr Bloom's fast asleep.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51MR BLOOM SNORES
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Who's that? Who's...?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59- CHILDREN: Boo!- Hello!
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- CHILDREN LAUGH - It's Katarina, Sajid and Namuzi.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Nice to see you.- You were sleeping! - Wake up!- Mr Bloom!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Eeh, oh, hello!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I stayed up far too late last night reading my gardening books.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I'll just have a...a bit of a yawn and a stretch.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- MR BLOOM YAWNS - Shall we all
0:03:21 > 0:03:23have a yawn and a stretch?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Big yawn! Oh! And a stretch.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- That's better, isn't it?- Yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Did you know when seeds wake up they like to yawn and stretch too?
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Look here.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44Look. These seeds are actually asleep and when they wake up,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47their shoots have a big stretch up
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and their roots have a big stretch down.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Hang on a moment.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Look!- Oh!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00These beans just woke up. Can you see what they're doing?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Yawning.- Yeah! Their shoots are shooing upwards
0:04:03 > 0:04:06and their roots are stretching down.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Their shoots are bursting out the skin. They've gone, "Whop!"
0:04:11 > 0:04:13They're bursting, aren't they?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Shall we pretend to be seeds?- Yeah!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Come on.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Our shoots have a big stretch up.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Can you stretch up?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24That's it - both hands.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And our roots have a big stretch down.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Can you touch your toes?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Very good!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34But I wonder how we could wake our seeds up?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- TOOT-TOOT! - Oh!
0:04:36 > 0:04:42It sounds like Compo has an idea. Shall we go and see? Come on!
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Right, tiddlers.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Let's put these beans down there
0:04:48 > 0:04:52and then I'll see what Compo's got for us to wake them up.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Excuse me, Compo.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Have you got anything to help us wake these seeds up?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00GURGLE! CLUNK!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Who knows what this is? - Spade.- A trowel.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10That's right, Katarina - a trowel. You use it for digging in the soil.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Are you going to dig in this? - Of course!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18That's a brilliant idea! What we need to do
0:05:18 > 0:05:22is plant these seeds in soil. That'll wake them up, won't it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- Yeah.- Righty-oh,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25let's get these seeds planted.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29That's for you, Katarina. You dish out the soil.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33These snoozing seeds will be wide awake in no time.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34- Yeah.- Very good.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Choose a seed. That's a nice one!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Then one more dollop of soil.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50There we have it and now these seeds are tucked away
0:05:50 > 0:05:54in the lovely rich soil, the seeds can wake up and stretch
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and for that, I need water.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59And how do they stretch?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01The shoots go upwards
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- and the roots go downwards. - GURGLE!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- GURGLE! SQUELCH! - Sounds like Compo's waking up too.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Come on - follow me!- Come on.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14# Grass and weeds and leaves from trees
0:06:14 > 0:06:16# Thistles that prickle and petals that tickle
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# Brown stuff, green stuff Sticky stuff, icky stuff

0:06:30 > 0:06:33ALL: It's full! Hooray!
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Here we go, tiddlers. Let's see what it does now.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Are you ready to meet the veggies?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Yes!- Come on!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- # Meet the veggies - We're the veggies
0:07:14 > 0:07:18# They grow here in my nursery
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- # Meet the veggies - We're the veggies

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Shall we join in Joan's exercise class?- Yeah.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11A prize? Ho-ho! How exciting!
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I need to check you can stretch. Have you done any stretching?
0:09:16 > 0:09:17ALL: Yeah.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47That looks brilliant!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49RAYMOND PANTS
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Hey! Hello, Raymond! What have you been up to today?- Hello, Mr Bloom.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Hello, tiddlers.- Hello, Raymond.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I've been playing Captain Asparagus.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Of course. He's your favourite superhero.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Oh, yeah.- Ha-ha!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Captain Asparagus!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12So cool! Hee-hee!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Y-Yes, so I've dressed up like him
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and I've been running around and being brave
0:10:18 > 0:10:21and saving the day. Ha-ha-ha!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I've been ever so brave, tiddlers. I've been brave six times
0:10:25 > 0:10:27and saved the day 11 times.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33- Wow! Lots of bravery and saving, Raymond!- It was quite a lot, yes.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's time for Joan's exercise class now,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39but maybe you should sit this one out.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42RAYMOND YAWNS No, I'm not tired, Mr Bloom.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44RAYMOND YAWNS Oh, dear.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I love exercises and Captain Asparagus does too.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50When do we start?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Right, everyone in position?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Ready bean! Stretchy bean!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Remember there's a prize for the stretchiest one, OK?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Now it's time for the warm-up.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Can you stretch to the side?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Oh, very good!
0:11:09 > 0:11:12To the other side.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13And turn...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16and turn...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and back.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And turn the other way.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26And to the side again and stretch back and...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29turn and...
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Raymond!
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Oh, dear!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- RAYMOND SNORES - I thought this might happen.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Mr Bloom, why is Raymond sleeping?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40It's not even nap time.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44He's been playing Captain Asparagus all morning.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45He's tired out, isn't he?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Yeah.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Maybe he should have his nap now.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54But everyone has to take part in the exercise class.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57He did really want to join in.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Oh, well, OK.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03You can try and wake him up, but I don't fancy your chances.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08That's true - Raymond is the snooziest squash in the nursery.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10We could just ask him to wake up.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Could you all help me?- Yeah.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19I'll count to three then we'll shout "Raymond" as loud as we can. Ready?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21One, two, three.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24ALL: Raymond!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26RAYMOND SNORES
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Well, I never!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Aw, he's out like a light.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Tell you what, let's get him comfy for his nap.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Let's give him a stroke.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39MUSIC: "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
0:12:39 > 0:12:42RAYMOND SNORES
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Katarina, have you ever been so tired
0:12:45 > 0:12:47that you fell asleep where you were?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Well, when I was little
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I fell asleep and put my whole face in my dinner
0:12:55 > 0:12:59then Mummy had to carry me upstairs and put me in the bath.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Oh-ho-ho-ho! Did you have food all over your face?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Oh, my goodness! And did you wake up in the bath?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11No, then Mummy had to put me back to bed.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Wow! You must have been very tired.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Guitar bean!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20COLIN PLAYS VERY LOUDLY
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Well, that was very loud Colin, but...
0:13:29 > 0:13:33I think Raymond really is a super-sleepy squash.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Didn't wake him up!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37BAGPIPES PLAY LOUDLY
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Oh, look! The Wee MacGregors have an idea!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43BAGPIPES PLAY, THEY CHEER
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Well done, you cheeky radishes. Raymond IS very tickly.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Grab a feather, everyone.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57THE WEE MACGREGORS CHEER AND LAUGH
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Thank you, Wee MacGregors.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02RAYMOND SNORES Tickle, tickle!
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Tickle! Come on, Raymond.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Let's see if that's woken him up, tiddlers.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- RAYMOND SNORES - Oh.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Oh, that didn't work either!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, I thought as much.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17But I wanted him to join in with the exercises.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19There must be another way.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22GURGLE! TOOT-TOOT!
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Oh, sounds like Compo has an idea.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Tell you what, Namuzi - why don't you go and see what it is?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38What is it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Oh!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It's Raymond's favourite story!
0:14:42 > 0:14:47How will that help? He can't see the pictures - his eyes are closed.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Captain Asparagus!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Did somebody say Captain Asparagus?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Oh, Raymond! You're awake!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00They've been trying everything to wake you up.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05One mention of your favourite superhero and you're up in a flash!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Well, I've had some very strange dreams, tiddlers.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Colin was a rock star
0:15:11 > 0:15:15and I was covered in feathers like a bird. Ha-ha-ha!
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Are we doing your exercise class now, Joan?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I could do with a good stretch.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Yes, Raymond! Ready when you are!
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Right, everybody,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28stretch to the left.
