0:01:14 > 0:01:19- It looks like a lovely day in Mr Bloom's allotment.- Yeah!
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- And the tiddlers'll be here soon. - Excited bean! Ha-ha!
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- Compo, you will let us know when they come, won't you?- Toot-toot!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Excuse me, mind if I set up the funfair?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Did you say funfair?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Yeah, funfair. Shall I get on with it?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Oh, yes, please!- Ta very much.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Right, you lot, let's get started.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Put the dodgems over there. That's right.- Excited bean!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Circus ready?- Oh, no, we've hardly started!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Colin, you'll have to wait!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Can you put the funny mirrors over there. That's nice.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Oh, excited bean! Circus ready?
0:01:59 > 0:02:04No, not yet, lad. It takes time to set up a circus, you know.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Colin, be patient!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Yeah! Careful with that candy-floss machine.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Oh! Candy floss! Oh, I love candy floss! It must be ready by now.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, I'm off.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Ha-ha-ha!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Toot-toot!- What is he on about?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Tiddlers are here!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Oi-up, tiddlers!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Oh, it's nice to see you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37We've got Saffron, Adil and Charlie.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Are you keeping well?- Yeah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I was looking at my leeks. What do you think?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45You gave them too much water, they feel soggy.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Do you know why they're soggy?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We've had rain today, haven't we?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Here's a game for you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Who can find the littlest leek?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Which one's the littlest? Can you see?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- This one!- This one!- I think Charlie's found the littlest leek.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Your next challenge is to find the biggest leek.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Which is the tallest? - This one! This one!- Wow!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Adil's got a tall one as well.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- Look at Saffron's! Which is tallest? - Mine's the biggest!- Mine!- Ha-ha!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23That's right, Adil, it is the biggest of them all.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Shall we pull this fellow up and see how big he really is?- ALL: Yes!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Let's see your muscles, tiddlers. Show me your muscles. Wow!
0:03:32 > 0:03:37What tiddler muscles! Saffron, can you hold this leek
0:03:37 > 0:03:39at the very bottom? Hold very hard.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Let's see your muscles, tiddlers.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45They're strong, so I want you to stretch your arms out
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and hold Saffron round the tummy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Charlie, you hold Adil round the tummy,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and whatever happens, don't let go!
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Are you holding on tight?- Yes!- Are you holding on really tight?- YES!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- As tight as we can!- OK, here we go.
0:04:01 > 0:04:09- ALL: One, two, three - heave! - Woo-hoo!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11It's a whopper!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13THEY GIGGLE
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I tell you what, I'll pop it up here. And to think,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21all of this grew from one teeny-tiny seed.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Do you know how teeny-tiny that is? - What, teeny-tiny like this?
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- Well, that's very teeny-tiny. - You can't see it!
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I think I'd better show you. What have I got here?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- ALL: Leek seeds.- That's right, some leek seeds.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Have a look at these.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45What starts out as a teeny-tiny leek seed
0:04:45 > 0:04:47becomes a little leek.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Just like those down there. - Wow! It's almost as big as me!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55That's right. That little seed becomes a little leek,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58then it gets bigger and bigger and bigger
0:04:58 > 0:05:02until it becomes a great big whopper like this.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It doesn't grow in one big go, mind you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08No, it happens very slowly.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Growing takes time, that's all. - COMPO TOOTS
0:05:11 > 0:05:14OK, Compo, we'll be with you in a minute.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Sounds like Compo's got something for us. Let's see what it is!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Ho-ho!- What?- Look at this!
0:05:29 > 0:05:30THEY GASP
0:05:30 > 0:05:32It's my old photograph album.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Some of these pictures... Oh dear! You might laugh at a few of these.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- But that's OK. Look...- Is that when you were a little baby?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Yes, these are pictures of me when I was a tiddler like you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48You look cute as a button!
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- You see me there with my gardening spade?- That's you at the old car!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Ha-ha!- That's right.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Way back then I was smaller than the Compostarium,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03but now, as you can see, I'm taller than the Compostarium.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05You haven't always been this big.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06How big were you
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- when you were babies?- My dad held me with one hand.- Really?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14So, about that big? Then you got bigger and bigger
0:06:14 > 0:06:17and bigger and bigger, all over time.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Growing takes time, that's all. In my case, it's taken a few years.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23TINKLING
0:06:23 > 0:06:26All right, Compo, we're coming.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18We've got a helter skelter and a merry-go-round!
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Tiddlers, what's your favourite ride? - I like that.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Has anyone ever been on a helter skelter?- Me.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27What was it like?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31When I went round, because it has lots of twirls, I was so happy,
0:09:31 > 0:09:37I wanted to do it about four times but Mummy only let me do it two.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Has anyone been on a swing?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Oh, yes!- What was that like?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46It's fun because you have to go all the way up and down.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50When you want to do it by yourself you put your feet up
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and swing back off.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Heh-heh! Oh, hello, tiddlers.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56ALL: Hello, Raymond!
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Mr Bloom...- Uh-huh?- ..I've been on the helter skelter five times,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03and I'm not even dizzy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Oh...
0:10:06 > 0:10:07THEY LAUGH
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Oh dear, Raymond! I think he's very dizzy, don't you?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Saffron, why don't you go and help Raymond up and give him a cuddle?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Oh, I'm dizzy! Oh, thank you, Saffron.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oh, hello, tiddlers!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Why were you hiding?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Hey, Colin, you're normally running around, all excited.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- What's the matter? - No helter-skelter bean.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Oh, that's right. Oh, I remember now.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15You've been too small to ride it, Colin, haven't you?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19You went up to it, but you were told you weren't big enough.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I'm sorry, my lad, but if you want to ride on the helter skelter,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27runner beans have to be taller than that arrow.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Oh...tall bean!
0:11:29 > 0:11:33COLIN GRUNTS
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- COLIN SIGHS - Small bean.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I'm afraid you've got some growing to do.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Roll up, roll up for the helter skelter.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Don't worry, Colin.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51It's not just you that's too small for some fairground rides.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Oh...- We can be too small.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Yeah! Oh - cheating bean!
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- CHILDREN LAUGH - No, no, Colin, not a cheating bean.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Oh.- You've tried that before, haven't you?- Ah...
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Do you remember what happened next time the funfair was here?
0:12:08 > 0:12:13'You tried to look all big and tall, but it didn't really work, did it?'
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Tall bean!
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Ha-ha! Yeah!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Small bean...
0:12:25 > 0:12:30I'm sorry, my lad, but one day you will be tall enough.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33But not today.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Roll up, roll up for the helter skelter.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40You've even tried to get some of the veggies
0:12:40 > 0:12:42to help you look taller, haven't you?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Tall bean!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Hee-hee!

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Heh-heh! Sorry, my lad.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Nice try, but one day you'll be tall enough.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Too short bean.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- COLIN SIGHS - Oh, Colin!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15But that was a long time ago. You'll have grown since then.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Hello, Mr Bloom.- Hello, Margaret.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- You enjoying the fun of the fair? - Oh, yes!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Have you went on that spinny thingy?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- The helter skelter?- Yes, the helter skelter.- Yes,
0:13:28 > 0:13:34- does Colin want to come on the helter skelter with me?- No. Small bean.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37But Colin, you'll have grown.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- Tiddlers, do you remember those leeks outside?- Yes.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Well, how big were the leek seeds?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48The leek seeds? They were tinier than you.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Tiddlers, do you remember how big the biggest leek was?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Yeah, it was about that big.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Nearly the same size as me!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- It was...- Yeah, it was about that big.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Big leek!- It's nearly the same size as Adil!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Wow, that is big!- Hey-hey!
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Cos the leeks were growing and you're growing too.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Growing just takes time, that's all.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15So let's go and see
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- if Colin's tall enough for the helter skelter now, eh?- Yes!
