0:01:41 > 0:01:43Goodness me, Jess!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Look at all that snow.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We're gonna have our work cut for us today!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Breakfast!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Oh, Alf!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Look at that snowfall.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Do you think you can clear it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Eh, aye! No problem! Nothing's too much for my snowplough.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08By 'eck!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Come on, Julian. Eat your breakfast.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- You don't want to be late for school.- Yes, Mum.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Hello...?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Oh, good morning, Geoff.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Yes... Oh, right... Uh-huh...
0:02:37 > 0:02:41OK, then... I'll let him know. Yes... Bye, now.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Well, it looks like you are having a "snow day".- A what?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48School's closed because of the snow,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- so you've got an extra day's holiday.- Hurray!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Can I try out my new super-sledge?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58OK. But finish your breakfast first.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08JESS MEOWS
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Goodness me! That was a close one!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Sorry, Pat. Are you all right?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Yes. No harm done.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Oops! Sorry, Jess.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22See you later, Pat.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Bye, Alf.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Come on, Jess... Don't wanna be late for work.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Have a good day, son.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Be careful when you're sledging.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Thanks, Dad. See you!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Morning, Pat. Morning, Jess.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Good morning, Mrs Goggins.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- What a day!- Aye. I've never seen the snow so deep.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Ah, well! Here's the post, all sorted.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Oh! And I almost forgot!
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Oh!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- It's Alf's new ladder.- Right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Will you be able to fit into the van?- Mmm...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Maybe I can strap it onto the roof.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Cheerio, Mrs Goggins.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Bye, Pat.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Hi, Charley. Hello, Mr Pringle.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, me back!
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Hello, Julian.- Do you want to come sledging, Charley?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Oh... Oh, yes. Can I, Dad? - Why, aye, course you can, son.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46But mind... be careful of the frozen pond, now.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48That ice is not safe, you know.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Don't worry, Dad. We will.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Bye, Mr Pringle.- Bye, lads.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Morning, Pat. Hot chocolate?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Thanks, Nisha, that'd be lovely!
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- Hello, Pat. - Morning, Ajay. Here's your post.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Thanks.- Hello there, love.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Have you got the bulbs?- Aye.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20It's not really the weather for planting, is it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Not flower bulbs - bulbs for the lamppost.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26One of them popped last week.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29We've been waiting for the new ones to arrive.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Bit of a problem, though.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- I can't reach it.- Hang on a minute. I might be able to help you there.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40CLATTERING
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Are you all right, Pat?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yes. Will this do?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Aye. That's champion!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01AJAY HUMS MERRILY
0:06:05 > 0:06:07There you go!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Perfect! Thanks, Pat.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Don't thank me. Thank Alf - it's his new ladder.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- Oh, will he mind us borrowing it? - I shouldn't think so.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19But I'd best get on and deliver it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22See you later. Thanks for the hot chocolate.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24NISHA AND AJAY: Bye, Pat.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34CHILDREN: Oh! Wheee!
0:06:36 > 0:06:37CHILDREN: Fantastic!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I used to love sledging when I was a lad, Jess.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I'd love to have a go now.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45I wonder if...?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Hi, Dad.- CHILDREN: Hello, Pat! - Hello.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Can I have a go?- Of course.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Do you want to try my new super-sledge?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'd love to!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's got special aerodynamics...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- so you HAVE to be careful. - Thanks, Julian.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09But I am a bit of a whiz on a sledge.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11You never forget.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's like riding a... Whoooa!
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Oh, no!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Aaaah...! Help!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Oh, no! OW!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28That was brilliant, Pat! Can you do it again?
0:07:28 > 0:07:33No, I think that's enough sledging for one day.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Ouch! Ooh!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Maybe you should stick to delivering letters, Dad.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Yes, I think you're right.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'd best be off. Bye, everyone.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Don't forget to stay away from the ice, now.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- We will, Pat.- Bye, Pat.- Bye, Dad.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Hello there, Ted.- Eh? Oooh!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Look out bel-o-o-o-w!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Oh, dear! Hang on, Ted.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Oooh! By 'eck! Oooh!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Oh, it's no use.- Hurry up, Pat.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm just going back to the van, Ted.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I'll have you out in a jiffy. Don't go anywhere(!)
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Oh! I can't stand this much longer.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Here we go! Heave!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Oh!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38By 'eck! Thanks, Pat.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40No problem, Ted.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Thank goodness I had Alf's new ladder with me.- Aye.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- You'd better get inside before you catch cold.- You're right, Pat.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Bye.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53A-a-a-a-h...a-a-a-a-h... Atchoo!
0:08:54 > 0:08:59And the Olympic champion, Bill Thompson, begins his final
0:08:59 > 0:09:02and surely gold medal-winning run!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Yahooooo!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Come on, Katy.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09We can beat him.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Yeah!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Watch out!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Help!- Help! BOTH: Help!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Don't worry! It'll be OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30We've got a plan. Think of a plan.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Um...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Hold on. I'll go and get your mum.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39PAT HUMS MERRILY
0:09:44 > 0:09:45That's Dad.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Tom, Katy...my dad's here.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51He'll rescue you. Don't worry.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Dad! Stop!- What on earth!
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Stop!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Julian! What's the matter?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Tom and Katy - they're on the ice.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Oh, no!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Jess, you stay there.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11BOTH: Mum! Help!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Tom! Katy! Don't worry!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19What are we going to do? It's too deep to wade out to them.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And too cold to swim.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Gosh!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I know!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Tom! Katy!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31See if you can grab the branch.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- It's no good.- We can't do it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41What are we going to do?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44JESS MEOWS
0:10:44 > 0:10:46The ladder!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Why didn't I think of it before?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Hold on, you two. I'll be back soon.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00There we go!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03By gum!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Everything all right, Pat?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Alf, quickly. The twins are in trouble on the ice.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11By 'eck!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14BOTH: AHHH!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16It's OK. Pat's back.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Don't worry, you two. We'll soon have you off that ice.
0:11:22 > 0:11:30Now, I reckon that if we lay the ladder across the ice like this...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- Aye.- And you act as an anchor at one end...like this...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Right.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Then I should be able to crawl across it and reach the twins.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Be careful, Pat.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Tom, Katy...
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I'm coming to get you now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Now then...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Slowly...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01All right...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Now, Katy - you first.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Just crawl back along the ladder.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Come on now.- OK.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Tom, I'll be back for you in a minute. Be brave.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I will.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19That's it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Keep going. Just look straight ahead.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Mum!- Oh, thank heavens.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Hurry, Pat. Hurry!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I'm coming, Tom. Keep calm.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Oh... Oh!
0:12:36 > 0:12:42Now, Tom, do just what Katy did and we'll be safe and sound in no time.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43I'm scared.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45You'll be fine. Trust me.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Pat, help!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Hurry, Tom. Keep going.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- CHILDREN: 'Yeah!- Nice one, Dad.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04CHILDREN: 'Hooray!'
0:13:07 > 0:13:12By gum, Pat! That was close!
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Oh, thank you, Pat.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17I dread to think what would've happened if you weren't here.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I'm glad I could help.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Are you two OK?- Thank you.- Yes. Thank you, Pat.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25You're more than welcome.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Thank goodness we had your ladder, eh, Alf?
0:13:28 > 0:13:34- Eh? Aye! I'm right glad you had it with you, Pat.- Come on, you two.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37It's a hot bath and a warm drink by the fire for you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40TOM AND KATY: Bye, Pat. Bye, everyone.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Bye, you two. - CHILDREN: Bye, Tom. Bye Katy.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Well, I think that's enough excitement for one day.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Come on, Julian.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58You were great, Dad.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Thank you, son.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I'm glad Katy and Tom were all right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yes, Jess. I'm tired too.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It's been a long day.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Let's go home.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36# Postman, Postman Pat, can you guess what's in his bag?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- # Is there a letter...? #- Meow!
