0:01:32 > 0:01:35What a lot of letters, Mrs Goggins.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41Aye. Oh, and don't forget these cards for little Nichol's birthday.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Oh, and there's this too.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46It's for Lucy Selby.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Looks like Nichol isn't the only one getting treats today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Well, I'd best be off.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Ted's filling up some helium balloons for Nichol's party.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I promised to pick them up on my round.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Ooh, balloons! How lovely.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Wish Nichol happy birthday from me.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Will do. Bye, Mrs Goggins.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Cheerio, Pat.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Hello, Julian.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23You're just in time. We're going to decorate Nichol's cake.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Hmmmm...it looks really good.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29It's a cherry cake -
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Nichol's favourite.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34What colour icing shall we use?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Did you ask Pat about the balloons?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Yes, Pat's going to pick them up and bring them round with the post.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Post? Maybe he'll have my parcel.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46What parcel's that, Lucy?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50My auntie's on holiday and she's promised to send me a present.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Oooh.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54What do you think it'll be?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I don't know. Maybe face paints.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Or a colouring set.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Or modelling clay.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Who wants to decorate this cake? ALL: Me! Me!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Morning, Ted.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Post!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Ted!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Hmm, doesn't look like he's got very far with the balloons.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- CRASH - Miaow!
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Hiya, Pat - you're just in time to see me test run.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Test run?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47What are you wearing, Ted?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52It's me new invention - a one-man hover backpack.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- What's it for?- Well...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59if I need to get up high, fix the roof or summat,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I can just fly up.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Fly? With that?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Aye, like this.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Right...just rev her up...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Miaow!- And up we go.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Hee-hee!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Eh-up...
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Oo-o-o-o-o-oh!- Look out, Jess. - Miaow!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Oh-oh-oh...
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Are you all right, Ted?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Aye, Pat.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42It just needs a few minor adjustments, that's all.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I was wondering if you'd finished blowing up Nichol's balloons.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The balloons!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Eeh, I clean forgot. Come on, Pat - we'll do them now.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I wonder how big they go.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Ted...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Miaow!- Ooh!
0:05:09 > 0:05:13How about I put the gas in and you tie the balloons?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, good idea.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Now then, need summat to tie them to so they don't fly away.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Ah, just the job.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Miaow.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Your go.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Ah!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oops! Sorry, Nichol.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Nearly done.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55What do you think, Nichol?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57HE GURGLES
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- I wonder where Pat's got to with those balloons.- We'll look for him!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Yeah!- Maybe he'll have my parcel too.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08OK, but don't be long - we want to start Nichol's party soon.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Nearly done.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Eh up, it's PC Selby.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'll go and see what he wants.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Your car's looking very smart.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Just cleaned it - very special police issue car polish, that is.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38What can we do for you, Arthur?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I wondered whether you had a parcel for my Lucy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- She's expecting something from her auntie.- Yes, there was something.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Where's my postbag gone?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Oh, dear.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55My post!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- My Lucy's parcel!- Me balloons!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Quick, we better get after it!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Hold on, Pat - my panda car's quicker!- Good idea, Arthur.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Come on, Jess.- Miaow!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09SIREN BLARES
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I know - me hover backpack!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'll be able to fly up and bring the post down in no time.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Look - the wind's blowing it towards Alf's barn.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Watch out.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32My lovely clean car!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Oh, by gum. Eh up, what do they want?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Hello, Alf. Hi, Dorothy.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Oh, hello Pat. Um...Pat?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Is that your bag up there?
0:07:48 > 0:07:54- Yes, we're trying to catch it. - Hold on, it's got stuck on the roof.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Mmm, Alf - have you got a ladder?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Right, here we go.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Oh, no.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11O-O-O-O-O-Oh...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Eh up. Oooooh...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Wa-a-a-a-ay...
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Hello, Mr Glen. We've come to help with the balloons.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Where are they?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29And where are Dad and Jess?
0:08:29 > 0:08:35I-I'm afraid we've had a spot of bother with Nichol's balloons.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- What kind of bother?- Well, you see
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I tied all the balloons to your Dad's postbag,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46but there were so many that it lifted it off the ground.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Wow! And they've all floated away?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52My parcel!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55And Nichol's balloons.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57No need to fret.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Pat and PC Selby have gone after 'em.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02We'll soon bring 'em back.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Let's help look for them.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Yes!- Bye, Ted!- Bye!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Here we go.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Ooh, me trousers! - SHE GASPS
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Oh, no!- It's getting away again.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Come on, Arthur.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Good luck.- Bye, Pat!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I hope you catch it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That should definitely do it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And up we go!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Now, then...uh...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47um...here we go.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Whoa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a...
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Here we go.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Whoa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a...
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Ooh, now - let's catch that postbag.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Come on!- Look - there it is!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Look.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33We'll get much closer if we cut through this field.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Oh, n-n-now...
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- it's a bit muddy, Pat.- You don't want it to get away, do you?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Uh...n-n-no.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Miaow.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Where's it gone?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- What's that?- A letter!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Look - there are more of them.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04They must be falling out of dad's postbag.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08If we follow them, we'll find the balloons.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10And Lucy's parcel.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16They must be here somewhere.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21There they are.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Whoa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a...
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Where can they all be?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Come on, let's go and find them.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44At last, the wind's died down.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Now, how are we going to get it down?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- What's that?- My goodness, it's Ted!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Don't worry - I'll catch it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Steering's a bit tricky, mind.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Um...I can't quite reach.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Try popping some of the balloons - that should bring the bag down.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Right-oh, Pat.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Well done, Ted!- Told you me hover backpack would come in handy.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Hee-hee - Ted Glen - pilot of the future!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Here's Lucy's parcel. But...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Oh, no! Where have all the letters gone?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Here they are, Dad!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Well done, you three!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42You've saved the post.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45What's Ted doing, Dad?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Whoa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, no.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55BANG!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Look out, everyone!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Are you all right, Ted?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Oh, aye I am, but me hover backpack isn't.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And neither are Nichol's balloons.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14ALL: Oh, no!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Oh, I am sorry, Nisha.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Never mind. At least you got Pat's letters back safely.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23And Lucy's parcel!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, yes - here you are, Lucy.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Thanks, Mr Clifton.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Aren't you going to see what's in it, Lucy?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It is a modelling set.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36A balloon modelling set!
0:13:36 > 0:13:38OH! With lots of balloons!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40WOW!
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Just what we need for Nichol's party.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Hurray!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well, Nichol got his balloons after all.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Thanks to Lucy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53And thanks to Arthur's panda car.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57All in the line of duty.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01I could make you a machine to wash it if you like, Arthur.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Uh-hum...thanks, Ted.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07But I think I'll clean it myself if it's all the same to you.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09BANG! Whoa!
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Don't worry, Ted - it's only Jess. - Miaow!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16And thanks to the children,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Greendale still has its post.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20An airmail letter, eh?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25I think we've had enough flying post for one day, don't you, Jess?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Miaow!
