0:00:22 > 0:00:25HE LAUGHS
0:00:25 > 0:00:27And good day to you.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37# This is the place to be for Salty Dog and me
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# Down by the harbour, we'll be there
0:00:39 > 0:00:42# Round every corner there's something to share
0:00:42 > 0:00:46# Give us a cheer, our friends are here, just Salty Dog and me... #
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- HE LAUGHS - Come on, Salty.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53# This is the place to meet, down at the end of the street
0:00:53 > 0:00:55# Seagulls flying up in the blue
0:00:55 > 0:00:58# There's always a cup of tea waiting for you
0:00:58 > 0:01:02# Out in the fun, having some fun, 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 > 0:01:11# Hoist the sail, I'll tell you a tale of Salty Dog and me
0:01:15 > 0:01:18# This is the place to go, 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# There's stories to tell, just join us as well
0:01:25 > 0:01:27# Just Salty Dog and me. #
0:01:27 > 0:01:28PHONE RINGS
0:01:39 > 0:01:43You know, Salty, this feels like a Mermaid Cafe sort of a day,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46doesn't it? Come on.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48BELL RINGS Coming through. Busy-busy!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Here, I wonder what Miss Bowline-Hitch is up to.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Come on, we'll go and find out.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Thanks for the plants, Miss Bowline-Hitch.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06They look lovely there.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Make things look ship-shape. - They do, don't they?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I'll just leave this last one here...
0:02:11 > 0:02:14then I'll be on my way. Busy-busy.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Busy-busy. - Bye-bye.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Greetings, Captain. How's my lovely Shelly.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Oh, I got a postcard from her today.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- She sends her love.- Oh, thank you. - Do you like these plants?- Yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Miss Bowline-Hitch grew them.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Oh. Well, she's done a good job there, hasn't she?- Yes, she has.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Do you like them, Salty?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41These are hebe.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45They're chrysanthemums. That little chap, there, that's a heather.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Hmm. But I have no idea what that one is.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49No. It doesn't look like much, does it?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53No, it doesn't. But I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Why don't I fire up the boiler and get tea brewed?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Oh, good idea. Listen, anything to eat on the menu?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Ah. Operation menu still at the planning stage.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Oh, I see.- I'll let you know.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Well, I'll just make myself comfortable then, shall I?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- HE LAUGHS - Thank you.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10BIRD CROWS
0:03:10 > 0:03:13DOG BARKS
0:03:13 > 0:03:16No, no! Salty!
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Salty...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Oh...- Here you are, Jack.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Ah...- Oh...
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I'm sorry, Captain. It's us causing chaos again.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- HE SIGHS - I can stand them up easily enough.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I don't know why I let you two into my cafe!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33It always seems to be that we make a bit of a mess.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- HE WHISTLES - Salty! Yes, Salty. Good girl.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38We'll see you later. Come on, Salty.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Sorry, Captain. Sorry. - HE SIGHS
0:03:49 > 0:03:50There.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Got to keep things ship-shape.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05There she is, the Rainbow.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07But what have you got for us today, my dear?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09HORN BLOWS
0:04:09 > 0:04:10HE LAUGHS
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Come on, Salty.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15HE SINGS TO HIMSELF
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Here we are.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25HE LAUGHS
0:04:25 > 0:04:28There you go, girl. You settle yourself down there.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Do you know? I don't think you'd made a very good gardener, Salty.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Oh.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Speaking of gardeners, do you remember that time
0:04:36 > 0:04:39we helped out our old friend the Gardener Fish?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Now, he was a character.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Let me get myself comfortable and I'll tell you the story.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49This is going to make your tail wag all right, Salty.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Once upon a twinkly time, the Rainbow set off from Staithes,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59waved goodbye to Whitby, and disappeared over the horizon.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04# Just Salty Dog and me upon the briny sea
0:05:04 > 0:05:07# It was one of those wonderful golden days
0:05:07 > 0:05:10# For sailing away on the rolling waves
0:05:10 > 0:05:14# The seagulls are soaring and we're off exploring
0:05:14 > 0:05:16# Just Salty Dog and me. #
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Good girl. - HE LAUGHS
0:05:19 > 0:05:24I got up to stretch my legs when - thud, thud, thud, thud -
0:05:24 > 0:05:29we heard a thudding, hammering sound coming from under the sea.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I looked at Salty and Salty looked at me,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35and before you could say "galloping sea horses",
0:05:35 > 0:05:39we were under the waves to find out what it was.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Down below, the sunlight was shimmering on a sea garden
0:05:45 > 0:05:48overgrown with wild and unusual plants.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52"This is the Gardener Fish's garden, Salty." I said.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56And then - boom, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud -
0:05:56 > 0:06:01the noise was coming from behind a wall at the edge of the garden.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05And suddenly, the Gardener Fish appeared.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09"Hello," I said. "We've come to see what all the noise is about."
0:06:09 > 0:06:12"Isn't it dreadful?" said the Gardener Fish.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13"And on such an important day!"
0:06:14 > 0:06:17"Why is today important?" I asked.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22"Well, every year, I grow sea plums for the sea king."
0:06:22 > 0:06:26said the Gardener Fish, pointing at some knobbly, bobbly fruit.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29"They're the sea king's favourite," he explained.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31"And he's coming to collect them today,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34"and to make matters worse, I can't
0:06:34 > 0:06:37"find my gardening tools anywhere!" he wailed.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43Well, the noise got louder and louder and thud, thud, boom, boom.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46"Listen, let's find out what's going on." I said.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51And we went over to the wall and we peeked over the top.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55And what did we see? But a big shark hammering planks of wood.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Boom, boom, boom.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02"What is going on?" said the Gardener Fish, crossly.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04"Sorry," said the shark.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08"I can't tell you. It's a royal secret."
0:07:08 > 0:07:10"Well!" said the Gardener Fish.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14"Come on, I've got to tidy up my garden before the sea king arrives!"
0:07:14 > 0:07:17"Salty and I can help." I said.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19"Thank you." said the Gardener Fish.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22"First, we need to trim the wild and tangly seaweed,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26"but I can't find my seaweed trimmers!"
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Just then, I spotted George the sawfish
0:07:29 > 0:07:33swimming by with his lovely long nose and sharp teeth.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I had a useful thought.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39"George, would you please trim this tangly seaweed
0:07:39 > 0:07:43"with your lovely long nose and sharp teeth?"
0:07:43 > 0:07:45"Ah, no problem." he said.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47And saw, saw, trim, trim, trim,
0:07:47 > 0:07:52he ever-so-swiftly and niftily trimmed the seaweed.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56And there, beneath the tangly seaweed,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00were the Gardener Fish's seaweed trimmers.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03"You need somewhere to keep those." said George.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07"Yes," I said, "keep things ship-shape."
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Well, we thanked George and he disappeared over the wall.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17And soon, we didn't just hear hammering, we heard sawing as well.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Hmm.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22The Gardener Fish - ho-ho! - he rolled his eyes.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26"What about these rambly sea roses?" I asked him.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30"They need clipping but I can't find my rose clippers!" he said.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Just then, a crab came by waving his pincers.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39"Hello," I said, "your pincers look very fine."
0:08:39 > 0:08:43"Would you mind using them to clip these rambly sea roses?"
0:08:43 > 0:08:46"Not at all!" said the crab.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51And clip, clip, clip, snap, snap, snap, he clipped all the roses back.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55And there, behind the rambly roses,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58were the Gardener Fish's rose clippers.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01"You need somewhere to keep those," said the crab,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03"then you can always find them."
0:09:03 > 0:09:06We thanked the crab for his help and he disappeared over the wall.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09And soon, we didn't just hear hammering and sawing,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13we heard clip, clip, clipping as well.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The Gardener Fish rolled his eyes.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17"What a racket!"
0:09:17 > 0:09:23"Never mind. Your garden is nearly ready for the sea king." I said.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27But the Gardener Fish still had to plant his sea cabbages
0:09:27 > 0:09:30and he couldn't find a spade to dig the holes.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33"Don't worry," says I,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36"I know an excellent digger." Hoo!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Salty, of course.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Well, Salty set to work top speed. - HE BLOWS RASPBERRIES
0:09:42 > 0:09:46And in a blurry of scrambling paws, she scraped and she clawed,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48diggidy-diggidy-diggidy-dig,
0:09:48 > 0:09:53and soon there were lots of sea cabbage-size holes.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54We planted each one.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58And do you know what we found underneath their curly
0:09:58 > 0:10:00cabbage-y leaves?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01The Gardener Fish's spade.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06"You really need somewhere to put those tools of yours," I said,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08"to keep things ship-shape."
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Suddenly, Percy the pipe fish announced
0:10:13 > 0:10:16the arrival of the sea king.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18HE MAKES HORN NOISE
0:10:18 > 0:10:22We all bowed, including Salty.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25"Your garden is looking more beautiful than ever!"
0:10:25 > 0:10:27the sea king boomed.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31"Thank you, Your Majesty." said the Gardener Fish, bowing.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Just then, the noise from behind the wall grew louder...
0:10:36 > 0:10:42..and then someone shouted out, "It's finished!"
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- And a big cheer went up. - CHEERING
0:10:44 > 0:10:47The Gardener Fish blushed.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50"I'm sorry about the noise." he said.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54"Well, that's my fault, really." said the sea king,
0:10:54 > 0:10:55in his kingly tone.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59"You see, you're always giving me sea plums,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01"so I wanted to give you something...
0:11:01 > 0:11:06"and the sea creatures kindly offered to make it for you."
0:11:06 > 0:11:08And the king clapped his hands,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12and suddenly Charlie the squid appeared behind the wall,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14stretching his long arms upwards.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20He was holding the most fabulous, dabulous shed,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24and he placed it in the corner of the Gardener Fish's garden.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28So, that's why everyone was making a noise.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Shed-making is a very noisy business.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35"Somewhere to keep your tools." the king boomed.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41"Thank you," said the Gardener Fish, happily, "I love it."
0:11:42 > 0:11:46"Every gardener should have a shed, Salty," I said.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49"Just like every sailor should have a ship."
0:11:49 > 0:11:54"Which reminds me, we'd better get back to the Rainbow."
0:11:54 > 0:11:58So, we said our goodbyes and before you could say,
0:11:58 > 0:12:03"knobbly, bobbly sea plums", we were back on board
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and sailing back to Staithes and home.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09They were very nice, those sea plums.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I bet they'd make nice jam, wouldn't they?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13What do you reckon, Salty?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Did you like that story, Salty? All true, of course.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Mind you, my stories always are.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Come on, girl.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41HE LAUGHS
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Hey-hey. Everything all right now, Captain?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Fine, thanks, Jack. But I am still wondering what this plant is.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Ah.- It doesn't seem to have any flowers.- No.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Perhaps Salty knows.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54No. Salty's no gardener, that's for sure.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Oh, I don't know. She looks very interested.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59She just likes sniffing, that's all.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01But what have you found there, Salty?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Eh?- Oh...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Ho-ho-ho-ho!- Carrots?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Clever Salty. She is a gardener after all.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Miss Bowline-Hitch must have planted carrot seeds in there by mistake.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Yeah. Well, I tell you, it's solved what's on your menu problem.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22So, what is on the menu, Jack?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Carrot soup.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Ha! Carrot soup!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28BOTH LAUGH
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Carrot soup. Good girl, Salty!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Well, Salty, that's it for today.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45We'll see all our friends next time.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Oh, and we'll see you next time as well. Bye-bye.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Come on, girl.
