0:01:30 > 0:01:33JULIAN PLAYS THE RECORDER BADLY
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Ah... Oh!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Miaow!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49D'you hear that, Mum? Jess is trying to join in.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Maybe I should ask Mr Pringle to let him be our marching band mascot.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Oh, what a nice thought, Julian.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Only with all that marching, it might be a bit tiring for him.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I suppose so.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Shouldn't you be getting ready for school?- OK, Mum.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Hey, look. I found my old penny whistle. I used to love this thing.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Oh, great(!)
0:02:18 > 0:02:24- Let's play, Dad.- Well, might be a bit rusty but here goes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27PIPES SCREECH UNTUNEFULLY
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Miaow!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Now then, you two. Better get a move on.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Don't want Julian to be late for school.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49And I'd better get going, too, or the post'll be late.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Can we play again later, Dad? - I can't wait.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57I'll take this with me in case I get a chance to practise.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08- Oh, is there room for the rest of the post, Pat?- Yes, I'll get this in.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10There.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Come on, Jess. Let's be on our way.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Here you are, Jess. Thanks, Mrs Goggins.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25You're welcome. Bye, Pat.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Bye. See you later.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Would you like any help getting this into your workshop, Ted?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44No, thanks, Pat. I'll be fine.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Hey! Give that back, Jess. It's not a toy.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I didn't know you played the penny whistle, Pat.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59It's been a long time since I did. It's to keep Julian company
0:03:59 > 0:04:02while he practises for the Greendale marching band.
0:04:02 > 0:04:09- Give us a toot.- Oh, I don't know.- Go on. I love the penny whistle, I do.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12HE PLAYS A JIG
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Eeh, that were great, Pat. - Thanks, Ted. I'd better get going
0:04:26 > 0:04:30or people'll be wondering what's happened to their post.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36- Miaow!- Mind out, Jess. I want to get this back in the van.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Bye, Ted.- Bye, Pat.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, and thanks for the concert.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53Move over, Jess.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58How can I get the letters for the cafe if you keep getting in the way?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Come and say hello to Nikhil, Jess.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03BABY GURGLES
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- Thanks, Nisha. Here you are. - Thanks, pat.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- HE SNIFFS - Mmm.- Mmm.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Oh, Sara, they smell gorgeous.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Freshly baked this morning.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27All right, Nik, you can have one with your milk.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- Wish I had time for one.- I'll save one for later.- Thanks, love.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Come on, Jess. We've got to get going.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Miaow!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I don't know what's got into you today.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Come on, Jess.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48March, march, march! March, march, march!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52March, march, march! Cymbals!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56And turn! # They all ran up to the... #
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Ow!
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Oh, dear.- Mr Pringle! Mr Pringle, I was playing my bongos.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- You should have turned. - Julian and Meera bumped into us.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07You didn't get out of the way!
0:06:07 > 0:06:13All right, everyone. Don't worry. Let's start again.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Here you are, Reverend.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Well, I never! What's happened here?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27It looks to me as if someone has made a snack of my post.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31'Ello, 'ello, 'ello. What's going on 'ere?
0:06:31 > 0:06:36I'm not sure. It looks like someone's been eating the letters.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Tampering with the post is a criminal offence.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'll launch an investigation.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Thanks, Arthur, but from the size of those teeth marks,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'd say we're not looking for a master criminal.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Would you mind holding these, Reverend?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Ah, I gather the letters unto me.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Oh! It's empty!
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Empty, eh?- Yeah.- Miaow!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Apart from a black-and-white cat.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Come on, you, out you come.
0:07:12 > 0:07:19I shall note that the mystery of the mangled letters remains unsolved.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- Do you want anything with that, Ajay? - Mm, I'd love one of Sara's muffins.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28PIPE MUSIC PLAYS
0:07:28 > 0:07:30BABY GURGLES
0:07:32 > 0:07:34BABY COOS
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- What's got into Nikhil? - What is it, little man?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40BABY COOS
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Oh! He's probably tired. - You look after Nikhil,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I'll get Ajay's muffin. - Thanks, Sara.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I'll read him some of this to calm him down.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55The Pied Piper is his favourite book.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02"Once upon a time, there was a piper who had a magic flute."
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- There you are, Ajay. - Thanks, Sara. That looks de...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08What's that?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Oh, no! Someone's already taken a bite out of it!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18How on earth did that happen?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21How's the marching band coming along?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Well, still a bit shaky, I'm afraid. Maybe I'm asking too much,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30expecting them to play and march at the same time, like.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Ooh!- Ow!- That was my toe!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Aw, not again. - Mr Pringle! Mr Pringle!
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- Julian bumped me. - Him and Meera got it wrong again.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43That's so unfair.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- You did! - Did not!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Suffer the little children, Mr Pringle,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51and it will all come right in the end.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- You trod on my toes. - Shouldn't have such big feet!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59And I can see they're really suffering so I'll leave you to it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04I thought they might be teeth marks but that's not very likely.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Can you think what else could have caused it?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Nay, Pat, it's a mystery.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13HOOT!
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Oh!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Would you look at that!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19How on earth did that happen?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- CRASH! - Jess, come here! >
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Jess?
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Miaow!- Oh, I can't believe you ate those muffins, you bad boy!
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I don't think it was Jess, Sara. I think it was mice.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42- Oh, dear. I am sorry, Jess. - NISHA:- Look, everyone.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I went to put this round Nikhil.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50BABY GURGLES
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I thought so! Field mice.
0:09:55 > 0:10:02- Miaow!!- Not so fast, Jess. - Poor things, they must be lost.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I bet they're terrified.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09At least we've solved the mystery. Now we need a way to get them home.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15I think I might have an idea but I need a REALLY big box.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And I know just where to find one.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24- Do you want to practise? - Oh, it's no fun any more.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I know. It's so unfair. Everyone thinks we're no good.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33They'd think it was hard too if they were at the front.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37And when the mice eat the cheese, it pulls that rope,
0:10:37 > 0:10:42so the net drops over them, which tugs the broom, which pulls this,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46then this, which calls us by doing this.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49SIREN WAILS
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Who'd have thought it would be so complicated trying to catch mice?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06At least this way we know they won't get hurt.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10You've done a first class job, Ajay. Well done.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Let's go and have a cup of tea.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Mmm.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22SIREN WAILS
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- The mice!- Let's go!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27WAILING CONTINUES
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Oh my, oh my, oh my! - What's going on, Dad?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36WAILING STOPS
0:11:36 > 0:11:39We were trying to catch some mice, Julian,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43but we caught the Reverend Timms instead. Sorry, Reverend.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I'm sorry to cause such a fuss. I was just checking Ajay's trap
0:11:47 > 0:11:52to make sure that the poor little creatures wouldn't get hurt.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Don't worry, Reverend. I'll have it set up again in no time.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- It's too late. Look!- ALL: Oh!
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Stand still, everyone. I'll see if I can catch them.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17You dropped this, Mr Clifton.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Oh, thank you, Meera.
0:12:18 > 0:12:25- I think he wants your whistle, Pat. - No, he thinks Pat's the Pied Piper.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Who's that?
0:12:27 > 0:12:32A man in a story who played a magic pipe to make all the rats leave town.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38The Pied Piper. Hmm...I wonder.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44HE PLAYS A FLOATY TUNE
0:12:48 > 0:12:49It's working!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Ah!

0:13:09 > 0:13:11# Just follow the music

0:13:52 > 0:13:54MICE SQUEAK
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- We've seen them home safely. - Well done, Dad.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02You were a fantastic pied piper.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- And you two were brilliant! - BOTH: Thanks!
0:14:06 > 0:14:11You know, I think we've found the stars of our marching band.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12ALL CHEER
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Yes, this truly has been an evening of celebration
