0:01:50 > 0:01:52Oh, in there!

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Hi, Jack. Hi, Salty! I'm doing a job.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I'm trying to put a light in this cupboard.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- It's a bit dark, isn't it, Sam? You need a...- Hand?

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- No, no. You need a...- A break!

0:02:04 > 0:02:07No! You need a torch so you can see what you're doing!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09That's what I'm trying to find!

0:02:09 > 0:02:12There must be one here somewhere!

0:02:12 > 0:02:14SALTY BARKS

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Don't worry, Salty has beaten you to it!

0:02:17 > 0:02:21What a clever girl you are! Thank you.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Thanks, Salty! This is really going to help.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Ah...

0:02:28 > 0:02:31What's up?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34The thing is, Jack, I need two hands to do the job,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36but one of my hands is holding the torch.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39What am I going to do?

0:02:39 > 0:02:40I've got the answer.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44I'll hold the torch while you do the job!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52< Heh-heh!

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Well, come on in, then.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Uh, I can't.- Why not?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Because you're in the way.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Ha-ha!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Ha-ha! Try now.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Ernie, I can't see anything at all!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08You and the torch are out there.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Listen, I think I have something back at the Rainbow

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- that could solve this problem.- OK!

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Thank you, Jack.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Come on, Salty, we'll go and find it.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Bye, Jack!- See you later, Jack!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30There she is, the Rainbow!

0:03:30 > 0:03:35Well, what have you got for us today, my dear?

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Heh-heh! Come on, Salty!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Here we are.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52That's it, good girl, Salty.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54You settle down, I'll find that miner's helmet.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Oh! Here we are.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Yes, you see? This is a light you can wear on your head, see?

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Look, no hands!

0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's good, isn't it?

0:04:07 > 0:04:11You know what this reminds me of, Salty, don't you?

0:04:11 > 0:04:16That's right, Angela the anglerfish. Do you remember?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Down at the Rock Sea Palace?

0:04:18 > 0:04:22She'd got a light on her head, as well.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Let me get comfortable and I'll tell you the story.

0:04:26 > 0:04:32Once upon a twinkly time, the Rainbow set off from Staithes,

0:04:32 > 0:04:36waved goodbye to Whitby and disappeared over the horizon.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38The sun was shining in the sky

0:04:38 > 0:04:43and the sea was so calm, you could see the fish as they swam about.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46# Just Salty Dog and me

0:04:46 > 0:04:48# Upon the briny sea

0:04:48 > 0:04:50# The sea is calm, the sun is high

0:04:50 > 0:04:54# We can see the fishes swimming by

0:04:54 > 0:04:57# We'll call out "Hello!" as they swim down below

0:04:57 > 0:05:00# Just Salty Dog and me. #

0:05:00 > 0:05:03And then, as we were looking out over the waves,

0:05:03 > 0:05:07we saw a little light under the water,

0:05:07 > 0:05:09shining as brightly as the sun.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11"Ha-ha!" I said to Salty.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15"That will be Angela the anglerfish on her way to work."

0:05:15 > 0:05:19I called to her, "What film's showing this week, Angela?"

0:05:19 > 0:05:22You see, Angela the anglerfish

0:05:22 > 0:05:26worked at the Rock Sea Palace cinema.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Every now and then, Salty and I like to go there to watch a film.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33"It's a musical," Angela called back.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Well, Salty loves musicals,

0:05:35 > 0:05:39so before you could say 'capering cuttlefish',

0:05:39 > 0:05:43we dived under the glistening, rippling waves

0:05:43 > 0:05:45and we walked Angela to work.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Soon, we were outside.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50There were columns encrusted with

0:05:50 > 0:05:52pearly seashells

0:05:52 > 0:05:54and a towering sign above the door

0:05:54 > 0:05:56with light bulbs of every colour

0:05:56 > 0:05:59flashing and winking round the edge.

0:05:59 > 0:06:05Its giant lit-up letters read 'The Sound of Whale Music'.

0:06:05 > 0:06:12"Looks good," I said to Salty, so we bought our tickets for the film.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15The lights were low and the cinema was very dark.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20"Follow me," said Angela, and she shone her little headlight

0:06:20 > 0:06:23so we could see the way to our seats.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Then the screen lit up

0:06:25 > 0:06:29and we watched a whale sing and dance his way through the film.

0:06:29 > 0:06:35He was tapping and twirling and, "Do-whop, de-doo-whop, de-doo!"

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Salty didn't take her eyes off the screen.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40At the end of the film, the big boss fish,

0:06:40 > 0:06:42who was in charge of everything,

0:06:42 > 0:06:45stood up and made a special announcement.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50"If you think you have what it takes to be a star," he said,

0:06:50 > 0:06:56"please enter our special talent contest here tomorrow night."

0:06:56 > 0:06:59A talent contest! Well, whoo-hoo!

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Everybody was very excited about this

0:07:01 > 0:07:05and we were all chatting about it as we filed out of the door.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Then, suddenly, Salty woofed and pointed at my head.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12"I've forgotten my hat!" I said,

0:07:12 > 0:07:15and we both hurried back into the cinema.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19When we got inside, we couldn't see a thing,

0:07:19 > 0:07:24except for a small pool of light right down at the very front.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26ANGELA SINGS

0:07:26 > 0:07:32"It's Angela," I whispered to Salty, "and she's singing!"

0:07:32 > 0:07:37Her voice sounded as pure as a mountain stream

0:07:37 > 0:07:42and with her little light, she lit up the stage like a star.

0:07:42 > 0:07:49Salty and I watched spellbound, and then we clapped. "Hurray!"

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Angela blinked into the darkness.

0:07:53 > 0:07:58"Jack? Salty? Oh, no! You didn't watch me, did you?"

0:07:58 > 0:08:01"Yes, you were wonderful!" I told her.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04"You should enter that talent contest tomorrow."

0:08:04 > 0:08:08But Angela said, "I'm too shy.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11"I can only do it if there's no-one looking."

0:08:11 > 0:08:17Well, Salty and I tried and tried to convince her to enter the contest

0:08:17 > 0:08:21until she said, "Do you really think I could do it?"

0:08:21 > 0:08:26"Of course!" we said to her. And so, Angela agreed.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Well, the next day, everyone packed

0:08:30 > 0:08:32into the Rock Sea Palace

0:08:32 > 0:08:34to see the contest.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38"My tummy feels funny," Angela said.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Suddenly, there was a wave of applause

0:08:42 > 0:08:45as the big, red, velvety curtain raised up

0:08:45 > 0:08:48and the first contestant took to the stage.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53It was Percy, playing his beautiful pipe.

0:08:53 > 0:08:59Next came Charlie the squid, doing some jiggly-juggling. Ha-ha!

0:08:59 > 0:09:04After him came Sam the seahorse, dancing a beautiful ballet.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Finally, it was Angela's turn.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13"Put your hands together for Angela the anglerfish!"

0:09:13 > 0:09:16announced the big boss fish.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20There was a roar of applause. "Hurray!"

0:09:20 > 0:09:23And then the clapping stopped

0:09:23 > 0:09:28and the Rock Sea Palace was quiet and waiting.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Really quiet.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33And really waiting.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38"Where's Angela?" I whispered to Salty. "She should be on stage."

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Salty and I fond her quivering in a corner.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47"I can't do it," she whispered to Salty and me.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49"But everyone is waiting," I said.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54Mrs Cod, sitting in the front row, coughed. "Ah-hem!"

0:09:54 > 0:09:58"There are so many of them out there," Angela said,

0:09:58 > 0:10:02as the little light above her head began to flicker and fade.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05"And they're all looking at me!"

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Salty's whiskers started whiffling.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12She was having one of her bright ideas!

0:10:12 > 0:10:15She dashed off towards the light switch

0:10:15 > 0:10:17and turned all the lights off.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20"Good thinking, Salty, old girl," I said.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25"If the lights are off, Angela won't see everyone watching."

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Well, the Rock Sea Palace

0:10:27 > 0:10:29was completely dark

0:10:29 > 0:10:33except for the light dangling above Angela's head.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36"Now's your chance," I said to her.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40"It will be as if nobody is watching. Good luck."

0:10:40 > 0:10:46Angela looked out and she blinked and hesitated for a moment,

0:10:46 > 0:10:51then slowly took her place on the stage.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55She took a big breath and she began to sing.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59ANGELA SINGS

0:10:59 > 0:11:04When Angela had finished, the crowd erupted.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Salty turned on the lights

0:11:06 > 0:11:09and Angela saw everyone leaping up and down

0:11:09 > 0:11:11and clapping and cheering and,

0:11:11 > 0:11:14"Whoopee!" and hooraying!

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Salty, she got sore paws from clapping so much!

0:11:18 > 0:11:23"I did it," said Angela, her light beaming brightly.

0:11:23 > 0:11:29Then the big boss fish stood up and said, "And the winner is..."

0:11:29 > 0:11:33"Please say it's Angela," I whispered to Salty.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37"Charlie Squid and his jiggly-juggling!"

0:11:37 > 0:11:39"Oh, poor Angela," I said,

0:11:39 > 0:11:44as everyone cheered and watched Charlie get his prize.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48"I'm so sorry you didn't win," I said,

0:11:48 > 0:11:50but Angela didn't mind a bit!

0:11:50 > 0:11:56She had managed to sing in front of all those people, all watching her.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00"I never thought I could do it," she said happily.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04"That was the best moment of my life!"

0:12:04 > 0:12:08As Salty Dog and I made our way back to the Rainbow

0:12:08 > 0:12:10and started up the engine,

0:12:10 > 0:12:14we saw some stars shining in the sky.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19"None of them are shining as brightly as Angela," I said to Salty

0:12:19 > 0:12:25and we headed across the ocean, bound for Staithes and home.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Right, there you are.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Oh!- Perfect!

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Yeah!- Give me the tools, Sam!

0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'll finish the job.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Go on, then.- Brilliant!

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Now Ernie can see what he's doing at last!- Yeah.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47LOUD BANGING

0:12:47 > 0:12:50- But is he doing the right things? - Let's take a look.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Go on.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56There!

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Well done, Ernie!

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Sam, will you do the honours?

0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Yes!- All right!

0:13:04 > 0:13:07ALL: Three, two, one!

0:13:07 > 0:13:09ELECTRICS FIZZLE

0:13:09 > 0:13:10- Oh!- Oh.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Yes, well, I'll leave the helmet with you,

0:13:14 > 0:13:17because I've got an idea you might need it for a bit longer.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21- I'll see you later. Come on, Salty. - Bye, Jack!

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Bye-bye! All right, come on.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Well, Salty, that's it for today.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36We'll see all our friends again next time.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41Oh, and we'll see you next time, as well. Bye-bye!

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Come on, girl.
