0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Hello, Margaret.- Oh! Hello, Raymond!

0:01:18 > 0:01:22Ooh, what have you got there? Looks like a pile of treasure!

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- It's my collection of trinkets. - Trinkets? What are they?

0:01:26 > 0:01:32Oh, you know, necklaces and bracelets, hair clips and ribbons...

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Except...there's something missing!

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Ooh, dear. What have you lost?

0:01:39 > 0:01:43My big blue hair clip with the big bow on it.

0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Ooh, wait a minute. I think Joan might be able to help.- Oh, yes!

0:01:48 > 0:01:53Joan? Margaret's missing her big blue hair clip with a big bow on it.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Ye-e-s?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Could you help us look for it? - Raymond?

0:01:57 > 0:02:02- I think that might be my hair clip in Joan's hair.- Oh, do you think so?

0:02:02 > 0:02:06But yours is big and blue with a big bow on it, and, er...

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Oh, yes. That probably is it, isn't it?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Oh, I'm a silly squash.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16You found it, Raymond! Oh, thank you!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19But the Wee MacGregors gave it to me as a present.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24I'm sure they wouldn't have taken it from your collection.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27WEE MACGREGORS SNIGGER

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Ah, well... Well, I'll take off the hair clip, then.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35You cheeky MacGregors! That's my treasure!

0:02:35 > 0:02:37WEE MACGREGORS MUTTER

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Ooh, looks like we'll have to find a safe place for it.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44COMPO TOOTS AND BUBBLES

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Oh! The tiddlers are here! Maybe they can help.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50HE LAUGHS

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Tiddlers! Come on in!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Eh, it's good to see you. And who have we got?

0:02:55 > 0:03:00We've got Cain, Jack and Ingrid. Are any of you tiddlers hungry?

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- TIDDLERS: Yes!- Ho-ho! That's good.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Cos I've got some lovely sandwiches, here.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11- Made them earlier on. 'Ere, they don't look very nice, do they?- No?

0:03:11 > 0:03:16They look a bit dry. Argh! Oh, my goodness! What's that in there?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18- A slug.- A slug, that's right!

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- We can't eat them when that's got the slug on!- That's right,

0:03:22 > 0:03:26and they're dry... I think I made a mistake. What have I not done?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- HE GASPS - Put the lid on!

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- I didn't put the lid on, did I?- No. - No.- Oh, deary me. That's right.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36The lid, it acts like a barrier, doesn't it?

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Cos you put it on and it keeps everything nice and fresh inside,

0:03:41 > 0:03:46and it keeps out unwanted intruders like our friend, here, Mr Slug.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48COMPO TOOTS

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Oh! I think that was Compo.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56Maybe he's got something for us. Do you want to go and see, Ingrid?

0:04:00 > 0:04:05- What did Compo bring you? - Five bread rolls.- Bread rolls? Oh.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09But if only we had some food that we could put inside them.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14You know, something like tomatoes or lettuce, cucumbers...

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Where are we going to find anything like that?- All around!

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Oh! All the vegetables in my nursery?- Yes!

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Ho-ho, that's right! So, I tell you what,

0:04:24 > 0:04:27let's go and see what we can find. Come on!

0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Hey... Look, tiddlers, what have we got here?- Lettuce!

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Yes, some lovely lettuce. Oh.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Does this soil look dry or wet to you?

0:04:44 > 0:04:48- TIDDLERS: Dry. - It does, it looks very dry.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50And what do we have here?

0:04:50 > 0:04:56- A weed.- That's right, Ingrid. It's a weed. An intruder in the bed.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00But in fact, it's like that intruder in my lunchbox, isn't it?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03That slimy slug? You know what we need?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06We need a lid for the lettuce patch, don't we?

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Now, do you think the lid from my lunch box would do the job?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12TIDDLERS: NO!

0:05:12 > 0:05:15It wouldn't, would it? Now, a lid for the soil

0:05:15 > 0:05:19is a thing called mulch. Mulch is one of my favourite words.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Mulch! Why don't we say it together?

0:05:22 > 0:05:28ALL: Mulch. Mulch! Mulch!

0:05:29 > 0:05:34- I've got some mulch right here. Would you like to see?- Yes.- Yes.

0:05:34 > 0:05:39This is the mulchiest mulch you're ever likely to find in my nursery,

0:05:39 > 0:05:43and mulch, it's made up of, well, dried grass clippings

0:05:43 > 0:05:46or little bits of wood and old, dead plants.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well, I tell you what, it might be a bit mucky for us,

0:05:49 > 0:05:54but it's great for these plants, cos what you do is you spread it out

0:05:54 > 0:05:57in between them all and it acts as a barrier.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- So, do you think you tiddlers could lend me a hand?- TIDDLERS: Yes!

0:06:01 > 0:06:06Let's see your wiggly fingers in your gloves.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10We need to take out the bad things, like the weeds.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Here comes the good stuff. In it goes.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19So, this is what I'd like you to do, tiddlers.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22You get your hand - your big, digger hand - and it goes in.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26You put it down and then I'd like you to spread it

0:06:26 > 0:06:30amongst the lettuce plants, so the lettuces can poke through,

0:06:30 > 0:06:32and the mulch creates a barrier.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35That's it. Cover the soil really well,

0:06:35 > 0:06:38but leave a little gap around each lettuce.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Hey, top work there, tiddlers. Now, I don't know about you,

0:06:42 > 0:06:47but after all that work, I feel like a sandwich. Let's get them ready.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10In we go. Mm!

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I've got one left. I'm going to take this,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18save it for later and put it in my lunchbox.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- What do I need to remember to do? - TIDDLERS: Put the lid on!

0:07:22 > 0:07:25You're right. Let's put that lid on.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- COMPO CHIMES AND HOOTS - Mm... Hey.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31We haven't forgotten you, Compo.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36Right, tiddlers. Sandwiches down. It's feeding time.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40# Grass and weeds And leaves from trees

0:07:40 > 0:07:43# Thistles that prickle And petals that tickle

0:07:43 > 0:07:45# Brown stuff, green stuff Sticky stuff, icky stuff

0:07:45 > 0:07:48# Crunchy bits, munchy bits Snappy bits, sappy bits

0:07:48 > 0:07:50# Yesterday's yums Chopping board crumbs

0:07:50 > 0:07:52# It's not fussy what's in its tum

0:07:52 > 0:07:55# My awesome Compostarium! #

0:07:55 > 0:08:00TING! ALL: It's full! Hooray!

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Hey, hold on, tiddlers. Here goes Compo!

0:08:07 > 0:08:11COMPO CLATTERS AND CHIMES

0:08:11 > 0:08:13THEY GIGGLE

0:08:13 > 0:08:16COMPO BUBBLES

0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Now. Would you tiddlers like to meet the veggies?- TIDDLERS: Yes!

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- # Meet the veggies - We're the veggies

0:08:41 > 0:08:45# They grow here in my nursery

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- # Meet the veggies - We're the veggies

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- # And we love Mr Bloom - That's me! #

0:08:55 > 0:09:00Right, Sir Colin of Run-Around-A-Lot. Shall we go on another adventure?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Adventure bean!- Yeah!

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Come on, tiddlers, let's go see what's going on.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Ooh, ooh, ooh! Hello, Mr Bloom. Hello, tiddlers!

0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Hello there, Raymond. Hello, Colin. - Hello, Mr Bloom and tiddlers...

0:09:14 > 0:09:18No, we're not Colin and Raymond. We're brave knights.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Colin is Sir Colin of Run-Around-A-Lot.- O-o-oh.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- And what's your name? - I am Sir Raymond Allotment-A-Lot!

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Now, Sir Colin, how about

0:09:28 > 0:09:32- another adventure going through the swamp?- Oh, swampy bean!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, no, no. We've done that already.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Er... How about we go to the caves and find a dragon?

0:09:38 > 0:09:44- Oh, ye...- No, no, we've done that already, lots of times.- Yeah. Oh...

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Bored bean.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Broad bean? No, Colin, you're a runner bean.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52No, BORED bean.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57Oh, you're bored? Oh, dear. Well, that won't do, will it, tiddlers?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59No.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02We've been having adventures all morning,

0:10:02 > 0:10:05but we've done everything, so we're bored now.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Ooh, dear.- Ooh, ooh!

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- COMPO BUBBLES AND TOOTS - Hey, hey, hey.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Sounds like Compo's got an idea. Shall we go and see what it is?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- TIDDLERS: Yeah! - Ha-ha! Come on then, tiddlers.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23Ooh! And what do you think this is for? What could we make with these?

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- A castle! - How do you fancy that, Raymond?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Do you fancy playing Knights And Castles?

0:10:30 > 0:10:35- Yes, please, Mr Bloom! - Ooh, excited bean!

0:10:35 > 0:10:40Right, tiddlers. Let's get as much as we can carry. OK.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Let's flip that one round, like this. There we go.- Ha-ha-ha!

0:10:48 > 0:10:52How about... Like that?

0:10:53 > 0:10:57- What else have you got down there, Ingrid?- Grass.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Ooh, it's very green isn't it?

0:11:03 > 0:11:08Oh, wow! Oh, that looks brilliant!

0:11:08 > 0:11:14- Oh, thank you, tiddlers! - Ha-ha! Even more excited bean!

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Mr Bloom?- Oh, hiya, Margaret!

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Eh, Jack, should we go and see what Margaret wants?

0:11:20 > 0:11:25You two tiddlers, you stay and play with Raymond and Colin.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Hello, Margaret.- Hello. Hello, Jack.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Hi, Margaret.- How are you today?

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Well, I'm a bit sad, really.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40One of my necklaces has broken.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Oh, dear. How did that happen?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46The Wee MacGregors were playing with my trinkets

0:11:46 > 0:11:49and I think it might have happened then.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Oh, dear. Those cheeky Wee MacGregors. Hmm...

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Well, I tell you what, Margaret.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59I'm sure we could help make another one. Don't you think, Jack?

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Yep.- Maybe Compo's got some extra bits and bobs for us.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Yeah.- Shall I take a look? Oh, here we go.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Eh, what... What have we got in here, Jack?

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- A bucket.- A bucket of...? - What's in the bucket?- Beads.- Aw!

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- And the beads have holes in. - Why do you think they have holes?

0:12:18 > 0:12:24- To go on the string.- Could we make Margaret a new necklace?- Yeah.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Er, I think I'd like to start with pink.- There's two pink ones.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Oh, lovely.- OK.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35- What colour do you think would be good, Jack?- Blue.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Blue? Is there a blue one?- Yeah. - Where's the blue one?

0:12:39 > 0:12:44- Pop the blue one on... - Which colour next, Margaret?- Um...

0:12:44 > 0:12:47How about...sunny yellow?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Two?- Two sunny yellows.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52WEE MACGREGORS MUTTER

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Look at those cheeky Wee MacGregors.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00They're helping themselves to that jewellery.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Isn't that terrible?

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Terrible? None of it goes with tartan! It'll look awful.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07No, no, I mean...

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- HE SIGHS - Never mind.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11WEE MACGREGORS MUTTER

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Hey, tiddlers, we're over 'ere.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18Oh, hello. I really love these colours in my necklace.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Would you give me a help to put it on?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24The Wee MacGregors are at it again!

0:13:24 > 0:13:27What...? Argh! Caught you!

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- SHE LAUGHS - Wait a minute. Where's it all gone?

0:13:32 > 0:13:36Er, what's happened, Margaret?

0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'm missing a necklace, a bracelet AND a hair clip.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43I'll tell you what, it sounds like we need some brave knights

0:13:43 > 0:13:48to go off in search of treasure. What do you think, tiddlers?

0:13:48 > 0:13:52- TIDDLERS: Yeah! - Hey, Sir Colin of Run-Around-A-Lot

0:13:52 > 0:13:56and Raymond of Allotment-A-Lot, could you help us?

0:13:56 > 0:14:01- Oh-ho, yes! We're ready for another adventure.- Yeah! Brave knight bean!

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Right then. Let's go!

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Can you see my bracelet anywhere at all?

0:14:10 > 0:14:15It's green and it's got silvery bits on.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Is it behind that wheel thing?

0:14:18 > 0:14:22What? What are we looking for?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25It's a green necklace with green beads on.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28There! I've got it.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33Oh, Cain, thank you. You've found it.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Oh...

0:14:35 > 0:14:40- Found it!- Oh, well done. Hurray! Well done, Ingrid!

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Ooh, maybe in the plant pot, Jack.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Ah!- Have you found it? Yay!

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Well done, Jack! You're a good finder!

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Oh, thank you, Cain. Thank you, Jack.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56Thank you, Ingrid.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Well done. Margaret's treasure is all safe again.- Yay!

0:15:00 > 0:15:05But how are we going to stop the Wee Macgregors from having another go?

0:15:05 > 0:15:10- TIDDLERS: In the castle!- We can put the treasure in the castle?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13It's got high walls... Ingrid, grab the treasure.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Come on, tiddlers, let's put it in the castle.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Hey!- TIDDLERS: Hey! - Hey, you know what?

0:15:22 > 0:15:25This castle is making me think of mulch.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Mulch? What's mulch?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I know what mulch is.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Mulch is leaves and grass and dried-up bits of wood.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Well done, Ingrid. That's right.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42It's sort of like a barrier, and it goes on top of the soil

0:15:42 > 0:15:46and it keeps the good things in and the intruders out.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49This castle's a bit like that, don't you think?

0:15:49 > 0:15:54Yeah, cos it keeps Margaret's treasure safe inside,

0:15:54 > 0:15:58and all the intruders like the Wee Macgregors out.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03- TIDDLERS: Yeah!- The treasure's all safe and sound.- Oh, it's clever!

0:16:03 > 0:16:05WEE MACGREGORS MUTTER

0:16:05 > 0:16:07BAGPIPES PLAY

0:16:07 > 0:16:11- What do you think they're doing, tiddlers?- Making a plan?

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Trying to get up on the castle. - Trying to get up on the castle?

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- But they can't. - Do you think they can make it?- No.
