0:01:36 > 0:01:38This lot should keep me busy today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Don't forget this one, Pat, special delivery for Ajay.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47It looks VERY important.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Special delivery, eh? I'd better take that one round straightaway.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Come on, Jess.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Bye, Mrs Goggins.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Oh...eh, bye, Pat.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Morning, Ajay.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Ooh... Ahh! Oh!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Letter for you.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I've been waiting for this.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29The original documents for the Greendale Rocket.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35It says here, "The Rocket was made exactly 100 years ago, today."
0:02:35 > 0:02:38It's your birthday, old girl.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42100 years old, eh? That calls for a celebration.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48You can invite everyone here - have a birthday picnic on the platform.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Ay, Pat, I don't know.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Look at this mess!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And I'm running a busy service to Pencaster.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01I won't have time to clean up, let alone organise a picnic.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Don't worry, Ajay.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06When people find out it's the Rocket's 100th birthday,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09they'll all want to help out.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14I'll ask everyone on my round to bring something for the picnic.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20- Do you think that would work? - Of course. It'll be a Potluck Picnic.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Everyone brings something and we all share.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28A Potluck Picnic, just for you!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Thank you, Pat.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Yes, Meera, there are lots of different kinds of celebration -
0:03:35 > 0:03:41anniversaries, Christmas, Diwali, birthdays.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Now, what do you need for a good party?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Balloons!- And cakes!
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- I wonder what WE can bring to the picnic, Jess?- Miaow!
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Anything else you'd like in a celebration?- Party games?
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- That's a good one, Julian.- And my dad really loves fireworks.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Fireworks!- Fantastic!- Yes!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Fireworks, eh? That gives me an idea.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20That's all we've got time for today, children.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- < DOOR OPENS - Hello, Pat, is that for me?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Jeff, can I speak to the children?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Why, be my guest, Pat.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Children, Pat has something to say.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Today is a very special birthday.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- The Greendale Rocket is 100 years old.- Oh!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46And we could have a big picnic at the station, to celebrate,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50with everyone bringing something different to eat.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Mr Pringle! Mr Pringle! How about a great, big fruit salad?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Why that's a good idea, Sarah.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Mmm...with bananas.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02And apples!
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Ted's still got that food chopping machine out at the watermill.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I could pick it up on my round and drop it off here, later.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13That would be champion.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18We'd better start collecting fruit if we're to have a fruit salad.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Cool!- Yes!- Great!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25A picnic? Ooh, how lovely!
0:05:25 > 0:05:31- We could make a chocolate cake. - We could make a lemon cake.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32THEY LAUGH
0:05:32 > 0:05:37How about you make two cakes? Plenty for everyone.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Good idea, Ajay.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Whoops! I better take the Rocket to Pencaster,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- we'll be running late, otherwise. See you later.- Bye, Ajay.- Bye.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53Aye, I'd love to take summat along. What are you bringing, Pat?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Something special for Ajay and the Rocket -
0:05:56 > 0:06:01a fireworks display. Do you know where I could get some from?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04There's a shop in Pencaster sells 'em.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08But how will I get to Pencaster and back in time to deliver this post?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11You don't have to...
0:06:11 > 0:06:16I've got plenty of fireworks leftover from the party last year.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- I could set up the display if you like.- That would be grand, Ted.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Oh, yes, and can the children borrow your fruit chopping machine?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Course they can. I'll dust down my ice-cream maker as well
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and make some of my special ice cream.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Mmm. I'll ask the children to get extra fruit for you to put in it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44Well, I just need to come up with a plan for the firework display.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Now, we just have to ice them.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56BOTH: Ohhh!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Maybe we'd better start again, huh? - Good idea.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Of course I'll bring something. How about some of my homemade cheeses?
0:07:05 > 0:07:10That would be grand, Julia. See you at the station later.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Bye, Pat.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16A Potluck Picnic. Oh, lovely.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Can we have some fruit, Mum? For the fruit salad?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Of course you can, love.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24There's loads of apples in the orchard.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Why don't you all go and see what you can find?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30ALL: Thanks, Mrs Thompson.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Ooof! Ooh! By 'eck!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56We can make heaps of fruit salad with all these.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Let's take this lot back and get started.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Hello, there. You all look very busy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Hello, Mum, we're getting apples for the picnic.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Picnic, you say?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12It's Pat's idea - to celebrate 100 years of the Greendale Rocket.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Well, that is worth celebrating, I must say.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21If I could have a few of your apples, I'd make some apple turnovers.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Wey, that would be champion, Doctor!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Here you are, Dr Gilbertson.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Thank you, Meera. See you all later.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Bye, Mum.- ALL: Bye.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Finished at last. Come on, Jess.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Let's get this chopping machine over to the school.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02The chopping machine! Well done, Dad.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05That's going to save us a lot of work. Thanks, Pat.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Come on, children, we've got a lot of fruit to get chopped up.
0:09:09 > 0:09:15Do you think you could spare a bit? Ted's planning to make ice cream.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Have some blackberries.- And cherries.- And apples.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21He-he-he! Thanks, everyone.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Ted'll make loads of ice cream with this little lot.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27What are you bringing to the picnic, Dad?
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Let's just say that Ted and I are planning a special surprise.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Ooh!- Oh!- Ooh!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Thanks for the fruit, everyone.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45All done. Now to sort out the fireworks.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Mustn't forget a big bucket of water for safety.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52TED SINGS HAPPILY

0:10:31 > 0:10:36- Never mind, Ted. It was an accident. - But what about the display?
0:10:36 > 0:10:42Mmmm. Can I borrow your phone? I'll try that firework shop in Pencaster.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Aye, er...it's just inside.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's all sorted.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58Ajay can pick them up from Pencaster on his final run in the Rocket.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Won't it spoil the surprise if Ajay sees the fireworks?
0:11:02 > 0:11:07The shop said they'd wrap them up and leave them at Pencaster Station.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09He won't know what he's collecting.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- Good thinking, Pat. See you later. - Cheerio.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10They said it was really important. Don't know why.
0:12:10 > 0:12:16- Well, we'd better not keep you if it's important. Eh, Jess?- Miaow?

0:12:34 > 0:12:39but neither of them looks right for the Rocket's birthday party.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Which one do you think we should use?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Well, eh...- Yes?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- I think perhaps...- Mmm?
