0:01:41 > 0:01:44Look what I won in the police raffle last night.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47That's great!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Um...what is it?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52It's a bowling ball and skittles.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58JESS MIAOWS
0:02:02 > 0:02:06You're not supposed to knock them over like that, Jess!
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Miaow!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10This is the way to do it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, bowling!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Oh, I LOVE bowling.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- I used to go on summer evenings when I was a girl.- Really?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28And I shouldn't say this, but I used to be rather good.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Maybe we could have a bowling night in Greendale.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Tonight, on the village green.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I could set up my skittles.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And I could make some lemonade.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I could even set up my garden swing.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45We could have teams of two and make it a friends bowling night.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48That sounds like a great idea.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53CATS MIAOW
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- CHILDREN CHATTER - OK, can we all settle down now?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Sarah, there's a spare chair next to Lucy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07No, you can't sit there. That's Susie's chair.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Who?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13My friend, Susie, she's sitting there.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Oh. Oh, I see. Susie, eh?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Well, I'd better put her on the register then.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23CHILDREN LAUGH
0:03:23 > 0:03:26There's a spare chair here, Sarah!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Thank you, Meera.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Oh, aren't you looking splendid this morning?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Good morning, Reverend!
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Oh, hello, Pat, I was just talking to my flowers.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53They grow so much better if you chat to them.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Hmm...yes.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Reverend, I've come to tell you that we're having a bowling night,

0:04:08 > 0:04:11But, um...who could I ask to come with me?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What about Mrs Goggins?

0:04:31 > 0:04:35I'd love to, Ajay, but I'm seeing Granny in Pencaster this evening.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38BABY GURGLES
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Oh, never mind. I'll go with Pat.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Um...hang on, there. I was going to ask Pat if he'd come with me.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Oh, you're great at skipping, Susie.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Hi, Lucy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Can I play?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Yeah. Susie and I are finished now.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00LUCY GIGGLES
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- What?- Oh, nothing, just something Susie said.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Oh.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I'll have to start my training straightaway.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- See you later, love.- Bye.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- See you later. - I don't mean to brag...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19but I was a pretty keen bowler in my day.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23But you haven't seen me swinging a bowling ball.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Hello, Pat. Now...
0:05:25 > 0:05:29who's going to be your partner for the friends bowling tonight?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Me or Ajay?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Actually, Ted, I was going to go with...- I know!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let's have a practise with Meera's football.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- That'll sort it out.- Good idea.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Miaow? Miaow!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Oh, no!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Sorry, Ted.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Don't worry, I'm OK.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Well, if you're all right, I'd better be on my way.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05See you later.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Hang on, Pat.- We haven't finished.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Goodness me, Jess.- Miaow.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It looks like Ted and Ajay are following us.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Oh, thanks, Pat.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Um...would you take a parcel back for me?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yes, of course. I'll just pop and get it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Hello, Pat!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Now, about tonight...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I think it would be much better if you were my bowling partner.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Well, I would like to but...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Hello, Pat!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- You and I make a great team, you know.- Yes, we would, but...
0:07:05 > 0:07:09You should see those skittles fly when I throw that ball.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Yes, but the thing is, Ted...
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's all to do with the way you stand, see?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16My stand is summat like this.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Mine is more, you know...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22in line with the ball...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24like this.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Cheerio!
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- What do you think? - Well, you look very nice to me.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Pat?
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Why don't you practise for the bowling with Alf's empty churns?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45That'd be grand.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48We could line them up like real skittles.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Right!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53There you go, Ted.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Ow!

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Ooh!
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I'd better try it out.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11You know, just to make sure it's safe.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14SWING SQUEAKS
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh, it's still squeaking.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Don't worry, Pat, I've got some oil at home that'll sort that out.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Miaow!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It's quite fun, actually.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Whee!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Ho-ho, yes. Lovely!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35ARTHUR CHUCKLES

0:09:02 > 0:09:04You look a bit fed up, Sarah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- Aren't you looking forward to the bowling night?- Not really.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I haven't got anyone to go with.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Lucy's got a pretend friend called Susie,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17so I'm not Lucy's best friend any more.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Oh, I'm sure you are.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- I don't think so. - LUCY GIGGLES
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well, why don't you have a pretend friend too?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Oh!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yeah!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Oh, that's a great idea!

0:09:36 > 0:09:39JESS MIAOWS
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Come on, girls, we have to go now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Bye, pat, I'll see you later.- Bye!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48JESS MIAOWS AND PURRS
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Don't get too comfy up there, Jess. We'd better be off too.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Oh, Pat, there you are.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And there's the bowling ball.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Now we can practise with the real thing.- Good idea!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Oh!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Hang on a minute.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- I can't get my thumb out. - Neither can I.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- We're stuck!- Oh, no!
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Don't worry, PC Selby's got some oil.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23That should help get the ball off. Won't be long!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26THEY GROAN
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Come on! Come off, will you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Miaow!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Have you met Lucy's friend Susie, Pat?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- No, I don't think I have. - Susie, this is Pat.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Pat, this is Susie.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Pleased to meet you, Susie.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I saw Sarah earlier, she seemed a bit sad.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- Oh, dear. Why?- She didn't think Lucy wanted to be her friend any more.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Oh, I do! It's just that I want Susie to be my friend too.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- Maybe you should tell her that, then, Lucy.- Yes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Ooh, the oil! I almost forgot.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Oh, yes, for the swing.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- I'll just get it.- No, it's not the swing, that'll have to wait.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16We've got a bit of an emergency on the green.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Oh, come on.- Humph!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- If we lift it up high...- Ooh!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28No. That hurts.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- How about if you turn that way? - Aah!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Aah! Oh!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Oh.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Here's the oil. We should have your thumbs out in no time.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Right. Let's pull.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Oops!- Miaow!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52BOTH: Um...sorry, Jess!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Yeah!- Excellent, Charlie!- Nice one!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Strike! Well done, son.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- Hello, everyone. This looks like fun.- Hi, Lucy.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17This is my new friend, Sam.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oh, hello, Sam.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I think it's your turn, Lucy.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Oh, great. Come on, Susie!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Oh.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Oh, Sarah, please will you be my bowling partner?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- I thought you didn't need me to be your best friend any more.- I do!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I'm really sorry if I wasn't nice to you at school today.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46But what about Susie?
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Susie can sit with Sam. I don't think she likes bowling.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54OK.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Bye, Sam, see you later. - Bye, Susie. ..Bye, Sam.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh!
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Ooh, well done, Mrs Goggins. Well done indeed!
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Strike!- Who's it going to be, Pat? - Who are you going to choose?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Hello, everyone. Are we ready to knock 'em dead then, Pat?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Eh?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24That's what I've been trying to tell you. I'm Sarah's bowling partner.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26By gum!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28We can't play if we haven't got a partner.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Why don't you be each other's partner?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33You've been practising together.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36That's true enough.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38And you're both my good friends.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39He's right, you know.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Come on, Ted, let's show them how it's done.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52- Well done, Pat, that's another team of friends you've made.- Eh?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- You've put together all the teams here tonight.- Did I?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Well, the Reverend and me...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Um...me and Dr Gilbertson.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Pat helped us be a team too.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Come on, then, Pat. >
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Time to put our team into action. - Right you are!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Here goes.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- STRIKE! HURRAH! <- Nice one!
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Looks like you can knock 'em down as well as put 'em together.
