0:00:290:00:32

What's this? Let's find out.

0:00:360:00:38

Nothing.

0:00:430:00:44

Nothing.

0:00:460:00:47

Not even working.

0:00:470:00:49

-Nothing. It's rubbish...

-BEEPING

0:00:500:00:53

Oh, bowl.

0:00:530:00:55

-BEEPING STOPS

-Metal.

0:00:550:00:56

-BEEPING

-Bones!

0:00:560:00:58

Metal. Bones.

0:00:580:00:59

-Metal...

-Good morning, Hacker.

0:00:590:01:02

Have you had a... I said good...

0:01:020:01:05

Bones. Me...

0:01:050:01:07

-You've found your present.

-Present?

-From me to you.

0:01:070:01:11

-Your very own bone detector.

-It's good, isn't it?

0:01:110:01:14

-To celebrate three happy years of companionship.

-Woof?

0:01:140:01:18

-It's our anniversary! I imagine you've got me something too.

-Erm...

0:01:180:01:24

-Something pretty special?

-Excuse me...

0:01:240:01:27

Yes, an anniversary is a special time.

0:01:300:01:33

A time to celebrate friendship and the love between man and dog.

0:01:330:01:38

I found that bone detector in the sales.

0:01:380:01:41

-I found this for you.

-For me?

0:01:410:01:43

-In the sales?

-No, in the compost heap.

0:01:430:01:46

Well, it might be a smelly, muddy, old wooden mushroom on a string,

0:01:460:01:52

completely and utterly worthless.

0:01:520:01:56

But it's proof of your love for me and therefore it's priceless.

0:01:560:02:00

Anything online for us?

0:02:000:02:02

"Do you believe in love at first sight?

0:02:040:02:07

"New dating agency opens in Pilbury."

0:02:070:02:09

Love at first sight? Yuck! Oh, dear!

0:02:090:02:12

-Why don't we go bone detecting?

-Yeah, why not? What are friends for?

0:02:120:02:17

I'll get dressed. PHONE RINGS

0:02:170:02:19

Digby Digworth.

0:02:190:02:21

Digby, my office - now.

0:02:210:02:23

-Bone detecting cancelled.

-Oh!

0:02:260:02:30

Right, Digby,

0:02:330:02:34

I need an ace reporter, somebody who can seek out a story

0:02:340:02:38

-with laser-like precision. Know anybody?

-I thought I might be...

0:02:380:02:43

-The last resort? You are, but you'll have to do.

-What's the story?

0:02:430:02:48

-You know this new dating agency that's opened in town?

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:02:480:02:53

It's the story of the year.

0:02:530:02:55

-Is it?!

-Yes, it is!

0:02:550:02:59

-We saw the story online and we were fascinated by it.

-Were we?

0:02:590:03:03

YES, we were.

0:03:030:03:05

Now, I want you to investigate Warm Hugs Dating Agency.

0:03:050:03:10

-It's a very delicate issue.

-A delicate issue...

0:03:100:03:14

-I make no bones about it.

-No bones?!

0:03:140:03:17

I have a very rich...friend

0:03:170:03:20

who hasn't kissed a girl in a long time...

0:03:200:03:23

A very, very long time.

0:03:230:03:25

-Rich friend. What's the friend's name?

-Max.

-Max?!

-Eh, Mix.

-Mix?!

0:03:250:03:30

Mox. Yes, he's called Mox.

0:03:300:03:32

-Funny name. Sounds like you.

-Hacker, how could you?

0:03:320:03:37

Max doesn't need to go to a dating agency to get a girlfriend.

0:03:370:03:40

-Of course not.

-You see?

0:03:400:03:42

-So, Max, this Mix...

-Mox.

-Mox. Sorry, Max, I got mixed up.

0:03:420:03:46

-Is Mox connected to the dating agency?

-Well, he might be soon.

0:03:460:03:50

"Warm Hugs promises love at first sight."

0:03:500:03:53

Aah...

0:03:530:03:55

-So, my friend...

-Who, Mix?

0:03:550:03:58

-Max.

-Mox.

0:03:580:03:59

..wants to know if they really can offer love at first sight.

0:03:590:04:03

But we want to go bone detecting.

0:04:030:04:06

-You get me the story, you can have your...bone detector.

-Oh...

0:04:060:04:12

Come along, Hacker.

0:04:120:04:14

Right, I'll go in and do the chat, you wait here.

0:04:180:04:21

If I'm not out after five minutes you howl,

0:04:210:04:25

that'll let me get away. HACKER HOWLS

0:04:250:04:28

Not yet! Wait till I'm inside. HACKER HOWLS

0:04:280:04:31

-Hacker!

-You stood on my paw!

0:04:310:04:33

Ooh, sorry. Aaah!

0:04:330:04:35

Can I help you?

0:04:540:04:55

Digby D Digworth. Pilbury's top reporter...

0:04:570:05:01

Aah!

0:05:010:05:02

-I can't see!

-No, it's all right...

-I can't see.

-Here, let me. Oh!

0:05:050:05:10

HE LAUGHS Sorry about that.

0:05:120:05:15

Veronica Potts. You wanted to speak to me.

0:05:150:05:18

Yes, yes, indeed.

0:05:180:05:20

Let's get down to business.

0:05:200:05:22

Do you believe in love at first sight?

0:05:220:05:27

Do you?

0:05:270:05:29

Miss Potts, please, I'm a seasoned journalist. I need the facts.

0:05:370:05:42

Well, the fact is, yes, I do believe in love at first sight.

0:05:420:05:46

Excellent. My editor's "friend" will be very, very interested.

0:05:460:05:50

Oh, well, perhaps you should tell me a bit more about his facts.

0:05:500:05:55

His financial status.

0:05:550:05:57

Yes. Yes, indeed.

0:05:570:06:01

-What is it?

-Eh?

0:06:010:06:03

His financial status.

0:06:030:06:05

Yep.

0:06:050:06:06

Is your friend rich?

0:06:060:06:10

Oh... Yes, according to my notes, very rich.

0:06:100:06:14

Really?

0:06:140:06:16

Fascinating.

0:06:160:06:18

-May I sit with you?

-Uh, yes...

0:06:180:06:22

Be my guest.

0:06:220:06:25

So, Mr Digworth, is your "friend"...

0:06:250:06:29

THEY GIGGLE

0:06:290:06:31

Is he a journalist, by any chance?

0:06:310:06:36

Well, I suppose he could be.

0:06:360:06:38

Ker-ching!

0:06:400:06:42

Tell me, does he have a little black note pad?

0:06:420:06:47

Em...

0:06:470:06:50

-A cheeky smile?

-Ooh.

0:06:500:06:51

SHE GIGGLES

0:06:510:06:52

And a tendency to get his head stuck in waste-paper baskets?

0:06:520:06:57

-Oh, no, I don't think...

-Oh, come on!

0:06:570:06:59

THEY GIGGLE

0:06:590:07:01

Don't be shy. You're an attractive man.

0:07:010:07:05

BOTH: Oooh!

0:07:050:07:08

A man at the top of his career.

0:07:080:07:10

-Well...

-You must be rich.

0:07:100:07:13

-Very rich.

-Me?!

0:07:130:07:15

Well, I suppose I do have a rich life.

0:07:150:07:20

Good. Good!

0:07:200:07:22

Well, I can't play in rubbish all day.

0:07:220:07:26

HE COUGHS

0:07:260:07:28

HE HOWLS

0:07:280:07:30

-Oh, my, a dog in distress.

-No, I'm sure he's fine out there.

0:07:300:07:36

Somebody's probably just trodden on his paw.

0:07:360:07:39

Perhaps we should carry on talking about us.

0:07:390:07:43

HACKER HOWLS Not again!

0:07:430:07:46

-Do you know that dog?

-No, no.

0:07:460:07:48

Hacker is a complete stranger to me. I'll get rid of him.

0:07:480:07:54

HE HOWLS

0:07:540:07:55

Oh, no, Digby's trapped inside.

0:07:570:08:00

I'll go save him.

0:08:000:08:04

I don't think we'll be hearing from him again.

0:08:080:08:11

Hacker to the rescue!

0:08:130:08:16

Just a little rest.

0:08:200:08:22

-HE SNIFFS

-Ooh, that's fresh.

0:08:260:08:28

So, Digby...

0:08:280:08:32

Miss Potts.

0:08:320:08:34

Call me Veronica.

0:08:340:08:37

-CLANGING

-Oh, what was that?

0:08:370:08:40

DIGBY SIGHS

0:08:400:08:42

Don't you go anywhere, Mr Digworth.

0:08:420:08:46

Ah-ah-ah, Digby.

0:08:460:08:48

SHE GIGGLES

0:08:480:08:49

Hello?

0:08:520:08:53

Hacker!

0:08:530:08:56

What are you doing? I told you to wait outside.

0:08:560:08:59

-It's bone-detecting time. What's keeping you?

-Oh, Digby!

0:08:590:09:03

Yes, Veronica?

0:09:050:09:07

Erm, I'll just be a moment.

0:09:070:09:08

A window blew open.

0:09:080:09:11

THEY GIGGLE

0:09:110:09:13

Ah! That's what's keeping you.

0:09:130:09:17

It's a big story. Shut it or you'll never see your bone detector again!

0:09:170:09:21

-I will not shut it!

-You...

0:09:210:09:25

No, I'm not going in... No! Let me out, let me...

0:09:250:09:29

Stop it!

0:09:290:09:30

Calm, Digby, calm.

0:09:320:09:34

Dignity at all times.

0:09:340:09:38

-Oh! My computer!

-It's all right, I've got it!

0:09:400:09:43

Sorry about that.

0:09:440:09:47

-Stray dog.

-Where?

0:09:470:09:50

Here.

0:09:510:09:52

Hi.

0:09:520:09:54

SHE SCREAMS You stray dog, get out of here!

0:09:540:09:59

No, Digby!

0:09:590:10:00

-You stray dog.

-Get off me. Not that, not the door. No, no!

0:10:000:10:04

(Sorry!)

0:10:040:10:06

Digby. Ow.

0:10:060:10:08

Digby. Digby!

0:10:080:10:09

Apologies.

0:10:110:10:12

If this computer breaks all the records would get totally mixed up.

0:10:120:10:17

-Is that bad?

-It would be a disaster!

0:10:170:10:20

-People would have all the wrong dates.

-How can I make it up to you?

0:10:200:10:24

-Dinner.

-Tonight?

0:10:240:10:26

-My place.

-Done.

0:10:260:10:27

Oh, Hacker, this is my first date since...

0:10:300:10:33

Well, it's my first date.

0:10:330:10:35

-I want it to be really special.

-Woof.

0:10:350:10:38

I need to impress. Tie.

0:10:380:10:40

I'm very lucky.

0:10:440:10:47

Love has printed its front-page headline

0:10:470:10:50

and it's made me the main story.

0:10:500:10:53

PHONE RINGS There.

0:10:530:10:55

What the?

0:10:550:10:56

Oh, give me that!

0:10:560:10:58

Digby Digworth.

0:11:000:11:01

You're very distant. Hello?

0:11:010:11:03

HE CHUCKLES

0:11:030:11:05

Oh!

0:11:050:11:07

Hello, Max.

0:11:090:11:10

Digby, how's it going with that story?

0:11:100:11:13

I'm glad you called. I can recommend the dating agency.

0:11:130:11:17

-I believe they can deliver love at first sight.

-Excellent.

0:11:170:11:20

My...friend has just emailed them his details.

0:11:200:11:25

He's very keen for his date to meet him at...my office.

0:11:250:11:29

'Good thinking, Max, I'm on the case. You can trust me.'

0:11:290:11:32

You won't catch me with me trousers down.

0:11:320:11:35

HACKER CHUCKLES Right, Hacker.

0:11:390:11:41

You stay here and guard the house.

0:11:410:11:43

I will be back after dinner.

0:11:430:11:47

I almost forgot - I need to get Veronica a present!

0:11:470:11:51

No.

0:11:530:11:55

No.

0:11:550:11:58

Yes.

0:11:580:12:00

Perfect.

0:12:000:12:01

Girls love necklaces, don't they?

0:12:020:12:05

Now, box... Box... Box.

0:12:050:12:09

Digby, that's my box of precious things!

0:12:110:12:14

You don't mind, do you?

0:12:170:12:19

HE GROWLS

0:12:190:12:23

Digby!

0:12:300:12:32

Do come in.

0:12:320:12:33

What a fascinating smell.

0:12:350:12:37

Expensive cologne(?)

0:12:370:12:39

-Sausages.

-Intriguing.

0:12:390:12:42

Come through. The flat's upstairs.

0:12:420:12:45

All right, Hacker, time to get amongst it.

0:12:480:12:52

Make yourself at home.

0:12:520:12:54

I do feel, Veronica, that for both of us,

0:12:560:12:59

this could be the start of a really...smashing time.

0:12:590:13:03

HE LAUGHS

0:13:060:13:07

Oh, dear!

0:13:070:13:08

-I got my foot caught on the carpet.

-I'm sorry.

0:13:080:13:11

-Perhaps you'd be safer at the table.

-Perhaps I would.

0:13:110:13:15

I'll get the starter.

0:13:150:13:17

(Hacker!)

0:13:230:13:24

Hacker!

0:13:330:13:34

Mr Digworth!

0:13:580:13:59

Oh, I erm...

0:13:590:14:01

-SHE SCREAMS

-There's that dog again!

0:14:010:14:03

Hi!

0:14:030:14:04

Come here, mutt!

0:14:040:14:06

Bye!

0:14:060:14:08

Careful!

0:14:080:14:10

Come here. Let me handle this, right?

0:14:100:14:12

Hello, little doggy. Are you lost?

0:14:140:14:18

Yes.

0:14:180:14:20

I've got a surprise for you.

0:14:200:14:22

Really?

0:14:220:14:23

Mmm. Come on.

0:14:230:14:25

There's a good boy.

0:14:250:14:28

Yes.

0:14:280:14:29

Listen here, mutt!

0:14:290:14:31

I don't want anything to spoil this dinner!

0:14:310:14:34

-Get it?

-Got it.

-Good!

0:14:340:14:35

Aaah.

0:14:350:14:38

There!

0:14:380:14:39

Now, while I get better acquainted with the RICH Mr Digworth,

0:14:390:14:43

you can get better acquainted down here!

0:14:430:14:47

Who with?

0:14:480:14:50

GROWLING

0:14:500:14:51

Ah, Veronica.

0:14:510:14:54

Oh.

0:14:560:14:57

THEY GIGGLE

0:14:590:15:01

Ah, I...really, really must apologise.

0:15:010:15:05

-Perhaps a little present?

-For me?

0:15:050:15:09

Oh!

0:15:090:15:11

Oh, you shouldn't have done.

0:15:110:15:14

SHE GIGGLES

0:15:140:15:16

Ah.

0:15:190:15:20

Sausages.

0:15:200:15:21

Hacker.

0:15:210:15:24

-Woof?

-Woof.

0:15:250:15:28

Is that for me?

0:15:280:15:30

Erm...

0:15:300:15:31

Yeah, why not?

0:15:310:15:33

Oh, we're going to get along just fine.

0:15:330:15:38

It is universally generally agreed,

0:15:400:15:43

that sausages are not a girl's best friend, Mr Digworth.

0:15:430:15:48

-Call me Digby.

-No, Mr Digworth! No!

0:15:480:15:51

I am a sophisticated woman, and a wooden mushroom on a string...

0:15:510:15:56

-That sounds a little on the cheap side as well.

-Please, Miss Potts!

0:15:560:16:00

Veronica, it's a much-valued item.

0:16:000:16:03

It's special, unique, one in a million.

0:16:030:16:06

-It's priceless!

-Priceless?

-Give me two minutes to get it back.

0:16:060:16:10

Hacker!

0:16:100:16:11

Priceless.

0:16:140:16:16

Wooden mushroom...

0:16:200:16:23

string...

0:16:230:16:26

priceless.

0:16:260:16:28

"Ancient Babylonian Mushroom Necklaces.

0:16:300:16:33

"Worth as much as seven...

0:16:330:16:36

"million...

0:16:360:16:38

"pounds."

0:16:380:16:41

That necklace brings out your...

0:16:420:16:45

hairiness.

0:16:450:16:47

Thanks.

0:16:470:16:49

Hacker!

0:16:510:16:52

-I've come for my necklace.

-YOUR necklace?

0:16:550:16:59

Digby, we're busy.

0:16:590:17:00

Hacker, our relationship is officially over!

0:17:000:17:04

You gave it to him?

0:17:040:17:05

-Yeah.

-So you've been seeing someone behind my back?

0:17:050:17:09

HE GASPS

0:17:090:17:11

Take your stupid necklace. I don't want it.

0:17:110:17:14

It's only good for chewing on anyway. And as for you,

0:17:140:17:18

you double-crossing love-cheat, we're finished too.

0:17:180:17:22

I'll be off.

0:17:220:17:24

Digby! Oh...

0:17:240:17:28

How could you?

0:17:280:17:29

He hasn't even got a tail!

0:17:290:17:32

Miss Potts.

0:17:320:17:34

-Now, I know you're mad with me...

-Moi? Oh, no!

0:17:340:17:39

-Whatever gave you that idea?!

-Well...

0:17:390:17:43

Now, why don't you come and sit down and relax?

0:17:430:17:49

-I have the necklace, Miss Potts.

-Please, call me Veronica.

0:17:490:17:55

Wowzer! It's worth that much?!

0:17:550:17:58

It's yours.

0:17:580:18:00

How lovely.

0:18:000:18:01

It's been delightful meeting you, Mr Digworth.

0:18:050:18:08

I've learned a lot about sausages.

0:18:080:18:12

However, having thought it over,

0:18:120:18:14

-I don't feel that we have a future together.

-What about he gift...

0:18:140:18:18

of our love?

0:18:180:18:19

A wooden mushroom? On a manky string?

0:18:190:18:24

Yeah, it's goodbye, Mr Digworth.

0:18:240:18:27

Thank you for a lovely evening(!)

0:18:310:18:35

Great. No date, no dignity...

0:18:370:18:42

and no dog.

0:18:420:18:43

I've lost everything in the world that I love.

0:18:460:18:49

-That's my necklace.

-No more dating agency.

0:18:490:18:55

I'll be rich, Curly.

0:18:550:18:57

I'll be rich.

0:18:570:19:00

Ha-ha! Doo-doo-doo...

0:19:000:19:03

CURLY GROWLS

0:19:030:19:04

No, hey, get off me. Get off me!

0:19:040:19:07

Whoa!

0:19:070:19:09

Hacker! Hacker!

0:19:090:19:10

Digby?

0:19:120:19:13

-So how's it going?

-Oh, well, fine, you know.

0:19:150:19:18

-I love you, Hacker!

-I love you, Digby!

0:19:190:19:22

Hacker, today, on our anniversary,

0:19:220:19:24

my bestest best friend in the world gave me the best present ever

0:19:240:19:29

and I foolishly gave it away.

0:19:290:19:31

But I'm determined to get that necklace back. I have a plan.

0:19:310:19:35

-I know it's only a lump of manky old wood...

-Actually, Digby...

0:19:350:19:39

..But it means the world to me. We are a team, Hacker,

0:19:390:19:43

and we must never, ever split up again.

0:19:430:19:45

-Never! What's the plan?

-Let's split up.

0:19:450:19:49

Oh, Digby!

0:19:490:19:50

I've got a better plan. Come here.

0:19:500:19:53

Curly, will you stop chewing that?

0:19:550:19:58

Now, come on, give it to me.

0:19:580:20:00

-Now, come on, we have to leave.

-Oh.

0:20:000:20:04

CRASHING

0:20:040:20:06

What now?

0:20:060:20:07

-That was a good route in, Hacker.

-Yeah.

0:20:100:20:13

CRASH!

0:20:130:20:14

Well, they can always buy a new drainpipe.

0:20:140:20:17

-Once we get that necklace, we're out of here.

-Hello?

0:20:170:20:20

-Quick, hide!

-Hello?

0:20:200:20:23

Who's there?

0:20:230:20:24

Aaah!

0:20:250:20:27

No! My computer!

0:20:280:20:32

Has it crashed?

0:20:320:20:33

HE CHUCKLES

0:20:330:20:35

Mr Digworth.

0:20:350:20:38

Well, well.

0:20:380:20:41

You really are most persistent, aren't you?

0:20:410:20:44

I'm leaving and there's nothing you can do about it.

0:20:440:20:47

You can destroy my computer, you can wreck my business,

0:20:470:20:51

ruin my agency,

0:20:510:20:54

but you will never get your necklace back!

0:20:540:20:57

-Oh, no? And what if I were to reveal to the whole world...

-Pilbury.

0:20:570:21:02

-And what if I were to reveal to the whole of Pilbury...

-Pilbury East.

0:21:020:21:06

And what if I were to reveal

0:21:060:21:08

to a large section of the Pilbury East area...

0:21:080:21:11

-Yeah.

-..That you stole that necklace from a poor, innocent doggy?

0:21:110:21:15

Remember, you gave it to me in the first place, so it's mine now.

0:21:150:21:20

Until I decide to sell it.

0:21:200:21:22

Sell it?!

0:21:220:21:23

-Ha! Who'd buy it? It might mean a lot to me...

-Digby.

-What?

0:21:230:21:27

-It's worth seven million.

-Yeah, right.

-No, seriously.

0:21:270:21:31

It's an ancient artefact that somehow ended up in our compost.

0:21:310:21:36

You're telling me that we're now the owners of a wooden mushroom

0:21:360:21:40

valued at seven million pounds?

0:21:400:21:43

-Yep.

-I think you'll find

0:21:430:21:45

-that

-I

-am the owner of mushroom

0:21:450:21:48

and whilst it's in my possession,

0:21:480:21:50

I shall wear it always.

0:21:500:21:53

Eugh!

0:21:530:21:55

Oh, yes!

0:21:550:21:57

-Nice one, Hacker. Finally our brilliant plan comes off!

-What plan?

0:21:570:22:01

-Eh?

-I didn't do that swap.

0:22:010:22:04

-You didn't?

-No.

0:22:040:22:06

-Then where's the necklace?

-Yes, where IS the necklace?

0:22:060:22:10

BURP!

0:22:100:22:12

Yummy.

0:22:120:22:13

Tastes so good.

0:22:130:22:15

No!

0:22:150:22:16

No!

0:22:160:22:17

Noooooo!

0:22:170:22:20

Oh.

0:22:250:22:27

"Dating disaster"?

0:22:270:22:28

"After the unexpected destruction

0:22:280:22:31

"of the Warm Hugs Dating Agency computer,

0:22:310:22:34

"all the lonely hearts in Pilbury

0:22:340:22:36

"have been matched up to the wrong dates."

0:22:360:22:40

And who's responsible for this disaster?

0:22:440:22:48

Digby Digwooooorth!
