0:00:22 > 0:00:24Oh!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26And a good day to you.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34# This is the place to be
0:00:34 > 0:00:36# For Salty Dog and me
0:00:36 > 0:00:38# Down by the harbour, we'll be there
0:00:38 > 0:00:41# Round every corner, there's something to share
0:00:41 > 0:00:43# Give us a cheer, our friends are here
0:00:43 > 0:00:45# Just Salty Dog and me #
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Ha-ha! Come on, Salty.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# This is the place to meet
0:00:51 > 0:00:53# Down at the end of the street
0:00:53 > 0:00:55# Seagulls flying up in the blue
0:00:55 > 0:00:57# There's always a cup of tea waiting for you
0:00:57 > 0:00:59# Out in the sun, having some fun
0:00:59 > 0:01:02# Just Salty Dog and me
0:01:02 > 0:01:04# Haul away, haul away
0:01:04 > 0:01:06# Sing the song of the sea
0:01:06 > 0:01:08# Hoist the sail, I'll tell you a tale
0:01:08 > 0:01:10# Of Salty Dog and me
0:01:14 > 0:01:16# This is the place to go
0:01:16 > 0:01:18# And these are the people we know
0:01:18 > 0:01:21# The village is busy with things to see
0:01:21 > 0:01:23# And there's the Rainbow down by the quay
0:01:23 > 0:01:25# The stories to tell, join us as well
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- # Just Salty Dog and me # - PHONE RINGS
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Dear, oh, dear! What shocking weather we're having.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I know. I mean, who'd be out on a day like this?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Hiya, Jack!- All right, Ernie?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- That looks heavy.- Aye, it is!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59That's it, Ernie. Keep going. Busy, busy!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Is he doing a job for you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Yes. There's some holiday guests moving in today
0:02:06 > 0:02:10and I said I'd transport their luggage. Ah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12The problem?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- I'm afraid so. He's taking the luggage to the wrong house.- Oh.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Ernie!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Other way. Number 6!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Yes, you're lucky to have him around.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Oh, he's a real star, and he always has a smile on his face.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Well done, Ernie! Number 6.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Yeah, you know, somebody should give him a medal.- Absolutely.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38He does a sterling job!
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Next time I see him,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I shall make a point of giving him a thank-you gift.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45< The door's locked!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- At number 6?- Oh, hang on.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's number 9.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Ah.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Ernie, a word. Bring the luggage.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Yes?- Little mistake, Ernie.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09It's not house number 6. It's house number 9.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- That way?- Yes, that way.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16This is actually very heavy!
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Oh, I'm sorry, Ernie. You must think me so rude.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Let me carry something.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Busy, busy!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- She means well.- Yeah.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Like I said, he deserves a medal for the work he does round here.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Doesn't he, eh? Come on, girl. Off to the Rainbow.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We've got portholes to fix.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40There we are.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Oh, dear. Poor old Ernie.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53We've got to fix this porthole, haven't we?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Well, that spanner's too big, isn't it?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Look at that, Salty! Look what I've found.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04It's your rosette. Second prize for biscuit catching.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Let's see if you've still got it. Oi!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09WHISTLES
0:04:09 > 0:04:11What about this? Eh, eh, eh?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Oh, good girl!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17She always catches her biscuit. Well, nearly always.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Go on, in your bed.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Yes, there was a time you didn't catch it.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Do you remember?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, let me get comfortable
0:04:26 > 0:04:28and I'll tell you a tale
0:04:28 > 0:04:32that'll whiffle those whiskers, Salty.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Once upon a twinkly time, the Rainbow set off from Staithes,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40waved goodbye to Whitby and disappeared over the horizon,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43and as we sailed, we sang.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46# Just Salty Dog and me
0:04:46 > 0:04:48# Upon the silvery sea
0:04:48 > 0:04:51# The waves are wavy, the sky is blue
0:04:51 > 0:04:54# The sun on the water is twinkly too
0:04:54 > 0:04:58# With the wind on our backs, we'll soon need a snack
0:04:58 > 0:05:01# Just Salty Dog and me #
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Well, Salty had been a good dog, so I gave her a special dog biscuit.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Yes, I did. "Enjoy, Salty," I said.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11"This is the last one."
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I threw her the treat, but for once,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Salty missed it and it flew overboard,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18landing with a splash in the water.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, Salty was very upset.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23She said, "Perhaps we should have gone on
0:05:23 > 0:05:26"the guided tour of the dog biscuit factory
0:05:26 > 0:05:29"instead of coming out on the boat."
0:05:29 > 0:05:33"Hold on a second," I said, looking over the side.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38"There it is!" Salty's biscuit was floating alongside.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42"I'm a fisherman - I'll fish for the biscuit," I thought.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44"A big strong fisherman like me
0:05:44 > 0:05:47"could catch a little floating biscuit. Easy."
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So I found my extra-special net,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52leant over the edge of the boat,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57and after a lot of scooping, I finally caught it.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01But when I examined the net, I hadn't caught the biscuit.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I'd caught a tiny crab.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10"I'm so sorry," I said. "I thought you were a biscuit."
0:06:10 > 0:06:13"Charming," said the crab.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Well, I explained what had happened,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19and she offered to help us recover the biscuit.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21"That's very kind of you," I said.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25"But I think you are far too small to help us save that biscuit
0:06:25 > 0:06:27"from the vast sea."
0:06:27 > 0:06:32I must admit, the crab looked a little disappointed.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36It shuffled sideways and perched on the Rainbow's rail to watch.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41I looked over the side and there was the biscuit, still bobbing away,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43and at that very moment,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46our friend Charlie the squid popped up.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49"Good day to you, Jack and Salty!" he said.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52"Is that a delicious dog biscuit?"
0:06:52 > 0:06:54"Indeed," I said.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57"Could you pick it up with your tickly tentacles?"
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Well, the big squid looked at the little biscuit.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03"Easy for me!" he said.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06He stretched out two long tentacles
0:07:06 > 0:07:09and gracefully curled them around the little biscuit,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13then gently lifted it out of the water.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15And we watched with bated breath,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19and the biscuit slipped through his grasp.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Pop!
0:07:21 > 0:07:25The biscuit plopped back into the sea with a splash.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28"Don't worry," I said. "You've done your best.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30"Come up here, have a break."
0:07:30 > 0:07:33So Charlie wriggled aboard the Rainbow
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and gave Salty a friendly tickle.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39And then suddenly,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42there was an enormous spout of water beside the boat.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Our friend Bluey the blue whale popped up. He was very excited.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50"Can I carry it to you on my big back?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54"It'll be easy-peasy squirty squeezy!"
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He dived underwater, swam under the biscuit
0:07:56 > 0:07:58and then rose to the surface
0:07:58 > 0:08:03with the biscuit carefully balanced on his back.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Look at that!
0:08:04 > 0:08:09"Bless my barnacles, he's done it!" I whispered to Salty.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Well, Bluey carefully ferried the tiny biscuit towards us,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18but just as he was close to the boat,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22he blew out a sigh of relief, and...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Pssshhhhh!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27His waterspout sent the biscuit flying into the air.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33The biscuit zoomed off like a rocket and disappeared through a cloud.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37It passed the moon and stars, it whizzed around a distant planet,
0:08:37 > 0:08:42then fell back to earth, plunging back into the sea with a splash.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46"Never mind, Bluey," I said to the disappointed whale.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Once again, the biscuit calmly bobbed alongside the Rainbow
0:08:51 > 0:08:52as if nothing had happened.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Thelma the dragon joined us next.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58"I shall fly over the small biscuit, swoop down,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01"pick it up in my mouth. Easy-peasy!"
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Well, when Thelma approached the biscuit,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09fire billowed from her mouth.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10"Stop!" we all shouted.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12SALTY BARKS
0:09:12 > 0:09:14"You'll burn the biscuit!"
0:09:14 > 0:09:17In the nick of time, the dragon came to a halt.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Like Charlie the big squid and Bluey the huge blue whale,
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Thelma the enormous dragon was upset
0:09:27 > 0:09:31that she couldn't rescue one little biscuit,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and now it was floating away.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38"Follow that biscuit!" I yelled.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Well, with Thelma sat on the Rainbow's funnel,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Bluey rushing alongside,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Salty, Charlie, the little crab and me on deck,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50we gave chase.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Around the world we went, passing tropical islands
0:09:53 > 0:09:57and old pirate ships, until finally, finally,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59to our joy and delight,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02the biscuit was washed up on a rock.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Salty thought it was time to mention
0:10:05 > 0:10:07that she was still quite peckish,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11so I dropped anchor close by
0:10:11 > 0:10:15and we tried to hatch a plan to save the biscuit.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18"I'll do it!" said Thelma the dragon.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21"No, leave it to me!" said Bluey the whale.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26"Nonsense, I'll do it," interrupted Charlie the squid.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29But when we turned back to look at the rock,
0:10:29 > 0:10:34to our utter astonishment, the biscuit had vanished!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37"Oh, no!" we cried,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40and then Salty noticed some bubbles in the water,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42and then the top of the biscuit.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46It was slowly rising out of the water nearby,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and it was making its way towards us.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53And then, amazingly, it started climbing the Rainbow,
0:10:53 > 0:10:58and then it started walking towards us.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Biscuits can't walk, can they?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04That's when I heard a tiny voice saying,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08"Excuse me. Coming through."
0:11:08 > 0:11:10It was the little crab!
0:11:10 > 0:11:14She was holding the biscuit in one of her claws.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18"My small claws are perfect for picking up small biscuits.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23"I tried to tell you," she said, as she passed the big squid,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27the huge whale and the enormous dragon.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32"Sometimes, being little is really useful."
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Everyone was very impressed that someone so small
0:11:36 > 0:11:38had managed to save the day.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43"It was easy-peasy, because I'm teeny-weeny," said the crab.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Taking no chances, she handed the biscuit to Salty,
0:11:49 > 0:11:54who crunched it, munched it and licked her lips.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It was the best biscuit ever.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58"Thank you," barked Salty.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00SALTY BARKS
0:12:00 > 0:12:04"Who'd have thought that such a tiny biscuit
0:12:04 > 0:12:07"could have caused such a huge fuss?" I said,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11as we sailed off for Staithes and home.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Salty does love a biscuit, though.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22That was a good story, wasn't it, Salty?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's all true, of course.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Oh, there's Miss Bowline-Hitch.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Do you think she's found a prize
0:12:28 > 0:12:31to give to Ernie for all his hard work, do you?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Ernie, I've prepared a little speech.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It is with great pleasure that I make the award
0:12:43 > 0:12:45of Most Helpful Person of the Village...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48'scuse me, Miss B-H!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52..to Ernest Starboard, and in recognition of his good works,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I present him with this...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57..trophy.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Oops.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Oh, bother.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04There's a problem?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06We seem to have lost Ernie's trophy.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- It fell into the sea.- Listen...
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- What about this? - SHE GASPS
0:13:13 > 0:13:18A rosette! Perfect! Oh, thank you, Jack!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yeah. Right. Come on, then.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Ernie, I present you with this rosette for...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31..coming second in a biscuit-catching competition?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Oh. THEY LAUGH
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Sorry! I forgot all about that. - Oh, don't worry.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I don't need a trophy or a rosette.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I just think it's wonderful that all my friends appreciate me.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Thank you, both!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Thanks! All of you!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Come on, Salty. Let's go home.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Well done, Ernie!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Hey-hey!
