0:01:34 > 0:01:37MIAOW!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40BIRDS TWEET
0:01:42 > 0:01:47There we are - the 10.30 collection. Bang on time.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51What a grand day, Jess. MIAOW!
0:01:51 > 0:01:56There's nothing like a nice, peaceful day in the country.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Hiya, Pat!- Er... Morning Ajay!
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Goodness me! Ajay can certainly move on that motorbike of his.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Imagine how quickly I'd get my round done if I went like that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13MIAOW! VAN DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Glad I caught you, Alf. Your seed catalogue's arrived.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- ALF PANTS OUT OF BREATH:- Champion!
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Just in time, too! There's winter wheat I'm thinking of ordering.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I was just saying to Jess what a lovely, peaceful day...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Morning, Pat. Morning Alf. - BOTH: Hello, Ted.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41By gum! Ted certainly tears around in that lorry of his!
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Blink and you'd miss him. - Ted's a busy man.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47A lorry might be fast, Pat,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50but not half as good as my old tractor.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Up hill or through mud, a tractor'll never let you down!
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Oh, I've been meaning to do summat about that!- Now you mention it,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I wouldn't swap my trusty old post van for anything.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Hmm! Wait a minute, I've just had an idea!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Why don't we have a race around the village?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Then we'd see whose vehicle was the best.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- What do you say, Alf? - Count me in, Pat!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22And so we're going to have a race.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Julian says Ajay is sure to win on his motorbike.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30But, Pat, being a good driver is more than just going fast.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Drivers have to use their heads, as well as their accelerators. - MIAOW!
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- Mm, that's very true.- So, why don't you have some tests along the way
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- to find out who knows the rules of the road?- That's a great idea!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I'll get the children to help. We'll invent questions,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52and the drivers will have to stop and answer them along the way.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- to see who is the best driver. - This is gonna be quite an event!
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Ladies, gentlemen and children! Welcome to the Great Greendale Race.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Our contestants are... Alf Thompson...
0:04:06 > 0:04:10CROWD CHEERS ..Pat and Jess...
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Ajay Banes, Ted Glynn... CHEERING CONTINUES
0:04:15 > 0:04:18..and PC Selby.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- I hope my dad wins.- On that?!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25He doesn't stand a chance against my dad's motorbike.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Ready... Set...
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Go!
0:04:33 > 0:04:38And they're off! Ajay takes an early lead, with Alf close behind him,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42then comes Pat and... Oh, dear! Where's PC Selby?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47One should never ride a vehicle that's not in roadworthy condition.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Oh, Dad! Hurry!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Come on, Alf! How can we catch up with Ajay
0:04:58 > 0:05:01when we can't get past your tractor?!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Sorry, Ted. There's nowt I can do about it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08There! Now I'm ready to proceed. See you later, Lucy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- Go, Dad! Go! - And PC Selby joins the race!
0:05:13 > 0:05:18But yes! It looks like Ajay is already at the first test stop.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Oh, well done, Ajay! You're in the lead.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Now, for this test, the children have made up some road signs.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32You have to tell us what they mean. ..What's this one, Ajay?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Ah, Now... I know all these.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38That one means..."Keep left".
0:05:38 > 0:05:41That looks like "Tunnel ahead".
0:05:41 > 0:05:45What about the one with the car? I made that.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49You've done a champion job! How long did that take you?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Now then, Ajay, if you chatter with my Bill,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- you'll lose your lead in the race. - Oh, dear! So I will! ..Sorry, Bill.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01That sign of yours means... "Slippery road".
0:06:01 > 0:06:05And the last one means "Look out for the falling rocks".
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Well done, Ajay!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Here come the others! See you later.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Oh...
0:06:22 > 0:06:26PAT HUMS TO HIMSELF
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Oof! Ooh!
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Oh...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48This is hard work!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52ALF SINGS TO HIMSELF
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Ooh, 'eck! There's supposed to be a signpost showing us the way.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Hmm. I think we'd better take this road, Alf.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Nay, I think that's wrong! I'm going this way.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29That road led to nothing but a rubbish dump!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I ended up at a lake.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I think we both took the wrong turning.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Well, it has to be this road, then. Come on! There's no time to lose.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- What's happening, Mr Pringle? - What can you see?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Well, Ajay is in the lead... FEEDBACK ON MEGAPHONE
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Sorry. Ajay's in the lead. I've just spotted him up on Garner Bridge.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Hurray! My dad's in the lead!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Then it's Ted, with Pat and Alf close behind.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04You left out my dad!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Ah! There he is, Lucy, just coming up to the first test.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14My dad's last!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Come on, Mr Glen! We're waiting to give you the second test.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Hello, you two. How am I doing? - Second place.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Now, this is the test, Mr Glen. We are traffic lights...
0:08:30 > 0:08:33You look more like the twins to me.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- We're PLAYING at traffic lights! - When we hold up a coloured ball,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40you say what it means on a traffic light.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Now, this is a good game. Go on, then.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Green?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Green means go.- Red?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Red means stop.- Orange?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Ah, now... that still means stop, Katy,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56but you can expect the lights to change any minute.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Hurray! You got it right, Mr Glen.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Here, let me see those balls.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I used to be a bit of a juggler. Watch this.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11How's that, then? Look at that! Whoop-ee! There we go!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I've still got the old magic, you know. ..Oops!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I've lost one of the traffic lights in that old bramble bush.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'll get it back in a jiffy.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Ouch!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30HE PANTS, BICYCLE BELL RINGS
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- What's going on here?- I've pricked me thumb on that bramble bush.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Very tricky characters, bramble bushes. Approach with caution.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43If you take your test now, PC Selby, you won't be last any more.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48I'll be ready to carry on the race when I've got these prickles out.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Well, then, let's have it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57HE SINGS
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Well, I seem to have left Pat behind somewhere.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05So I must be doing well. Not bad for an old tractor!
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Oh, dear, Daisy! Got lost, have you?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18We can't have you wandering all over the road, can we?!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Come on, I'd better get you back in your field.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Shoo, shoo, shoo-shoo! Come on, this way. Come on.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30MIAOW! Oh!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Hello, Alf. What's going on?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I'm just putting these sheep back where they belong.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Somebody left the gate open by mistake.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Never mind me, Pat. You go on and try and catch Ajay.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Right, Alf. See you later.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Bye, Pat.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56And the exciting news is that Pat has now moved up into second place.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I can just see his van winding its way down by Intake Farm.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Hurray! Come on, Pat! - Come on, Dad! You can do it!
0:11:04 > 0:11:10- Hello, Doctor Gilbertson, I expect you've got a test for me.- Yes, Pat.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13A driver must have good eyesight.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Now, Sarah has painted a picture for you to look at,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- and you must tell her what it is. - Ooh! Sounds easy to me.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Except that... I'm all the way over here!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Mm... Yes, well, er...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It looks a bit like... a teddy bear...
0:11:32 > 0:11:35No, er... It might be a dog, I suppose.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Look hard, Pat.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Hmm...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43MIAOW! MIAOW! All right, Jess!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I'll get it in a minute!
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Hang on! It's Jess!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Well done, Pat! - Lovely picture, Sarah.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57- Can we put it up in the post office when this is over?- Course you can!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Come on, Jess. No time to lose.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Good luck, Pat.- Bye.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Now, don't get too excited, Jess.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Ajay is probably miles ahead of us by now on his super motorbike.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15MIAOW! Hold on a minute! What's this?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Oof... Oh!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Ajay! What's up? - I've run out of petrol.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Oh, dear!- I should have filled her up before the race,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30but I thought I had enough. We're near the winning line now.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Oh, yes. I know.- Go on. Round that corner and you've won the race.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- I reckon I've got a can of petrol in the back of my van.- Have you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It's in there somewhere. I'll, er... I'll take a look.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45But, Pat... The race!
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I'll have you up and running in a jiffy. Now where's that can?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Oof... Oh, dear!
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- It's PC Selby!- Afternoon, all! What's happening here, Pat?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Ajay's run out of fuel. - And Pat's stopped to help me.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Don't worry about us, Arthur. You carry on.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11If you're sure, Pat, I'll be on my way.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16MIAOW!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Huh?!- Huh?!- Yes! - HE PANTS
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- Hurray!- And PC Selby wins. - I knew my dad could do it!
0:13:26 > 0:13:30CROWD CHEERS Alf is second, Ted third,
0:13:30 > 0:13:35here's Ajay in fourth place and, last of all, it's Pat.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Ooh!
0:13:38 > 0:13:43The Reverend Timms will present the first Greendale Cup to the winner.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Come on up, PC Selby. CHEERING
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Congratulations!
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I'm delighted that old-fashioned pedal-power has won the day.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Thank you, Reverend. Most honoured.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- And now, a special prize for Pat. - Oh!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04For stopping to help Ajay, and losing the chance of winning,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08here's one of Mrs Pottage's famous home-made apple pies.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14CHEERING Ooh, that's very nice. Thank you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Well done, Pat. - MIAOW!
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Thank you very much. Now, anyone for apple pie?
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Yes, please. And can you make sure you come last next year, Dad?
