Hello, Special Delivery Service, Pat Clifton speaking.

Pat, I've got an unusual one for you today. How soon can you get here?

-We're on our way. We've got a special delivery, Jess.

-Meow?

What's it going to be today?

STRANGE DRONING

Ben?

Hi, Pat, Here's your special delivery.

-It's for Lauren at the school.

-What is it? A musical telescope?

-No, it's a didgeridoo.

-A didgeri-what?

-A didgeridoo.

-It's a special musical instrument all the way from Australia.

-Ooh.

Here, give it a blow.

Meow?

DIDGERIDOO HUMS

M-e-e-o-w!

Hmm... I don't think the didgeridoo is quite your instrument, Pat.

No, maybe I'd best leave it to the children. Come one, Jess.

Oh, these need to go to Pencaster Station too, Pat.

No problem, I'll drop them off on the way.

CHILDREN: Oh, wow!

OK, everyone, shush.

We're going to be exploring musical instruments from

different countries, like this gong from China.

Cool! Let's rock!

BILL MAKES DRUM NOISES

Yes, thank you, Bill.

You're all going to have a chance to play them.

Some are very tricky to learn, especially my surprise instrument.

CHILDREN GASP

Right, let's get started.

Have you played one before?

-No, but my great uncle Cullie was a dab hand. Can I have a go?

-Well...

Thanks, Pat.

DIDGERIDOO HUMS

Ahh, yes, well.

It takes years of practice to play as well as me great uncle Cullie.

-Right, off to the school then, Jess. Bye, Ajay.

-Ta-ra, Pat.

Oh.

-Hello, Mrs Goggins, is everything OK?

-Oh, Pat.

I know you're on a special delivery

but Dorothy left her shopping in the Post Office earlier

and I was wondering if you could drop it at Thompson Ground on your way?

-Of course I can.

-Thank you, Pat.

Meow, meow, meow! Meow!

Oh, there's nothing tasty in there for you, Jess.

Come away!

-Bye, Pat.

-Bye, Mrs Goggins.

CHILDREN CALL DOTTIE

-Is everything OK, Lauren?

-No. Dottie's missing.

-The cage door was open and she must have got out.

-Oh, dear.

She was definitely in the cage when Pat left this morning.

I'll give him a call, maybe he can help.

-Delivery for you, Alf.

-That's grand, Pat.

Meow.

-Jess!

-Oh, dear.

-Now look what you've done.

-Meow!

Pat, it's Lauren.

-Dottie's escaped, have you seen her?

-Oh, dear, no, I haven't.

I'm busy with a special delivery at the minute,

but I'll help look for her as soon as I can.

Thanks, Pat, bye.

Dottie's gone missing.

-Oh, aye?

-Meow.

-Don't worry, Jess, she won't have gone far.

DIDGERIDOO HUMS

Rosie? I've never heard her make that noise before.

That wasn't Rosie, that was my special delivery.

-Jess, behave yourself!

-Oh, that sounded good, Pat.

-And thanks for bringing the shopping back.

-No problem, Dorothy.

I don't suppose you could take

these left over lettuces to the school, could you?

-For Dottie?

-Of course I will.

Come on, Jess.

Meow.

VAN RUMBLES

CHILDREN CALL DOTTIE

-What if Dottie never comes back, miss?

-I really miss her.

-Hello, Lauren. Here's your special delivery.

-Thanks, Pat.

Hopefully it'll cheer the children up a bit.

Look, children, our special instrument has arrived!

This has come all the way from Australia.

It's called a didgeridoo.

Can we play it, Miss? I bet I can.

Of course you can.

Pffft!

It must be broken.

It isn't broken, Bill. Watch.

DIDGERIDOO HUMS

Look! That box is moving.

CHILDREN: Dottie!

Well, look at that.

See, I told you we'd find her somewhere near by.

Meow.

I don't think she'll be hungry for a while though,

this was full of lettuces when I left Thompson Ground.

LAUGHTER

Come on then, everyone. Let's play some instruments.

CHILDREN CHEER

-If you would, please, Pat.

-It'd be my pleasure, Lauren.
