0:00:41 > 0:00:46And a one, two, three, four...

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Ooh! I'm bushed.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53I'll say one thing, this keep-fit

0:00:53 > 0:00:55does give you an appetite.

0:00:55 > 0:01:02Ah, my all-time favourite start to the day. After exercise, of course.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04- SHOUTS:- THAT'S MINE!

0:01:04 > 0:01:08- All right, sorry! Have you opened up today's paper?- Yeah.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11"Fierce flu attacks Pilbury."

0:01:11 > 0:01:16- Well, there's only one way to avoid catching that.- What's that?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18We stay indoors until it's over,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20we don't go outside for anyone or anything.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Deal?- Deal?

0:01:22 > 0:01:23PHONE RINGS

0:01:23 > 0:01:29- Hello, Max? It's Max. We're on our way.- You said we shouldn't go out!

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Argh...

0:01:34 > 0:01:37BLOWS NOSE

0:01:37 > 0:01:43- Hello, Max.- Ah, Digby. I think I'm coming down with this flu bug.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Don't worry, I won't let it interfere

0:01:45 > 0:01:48with my usual sunny disposition.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Now then, I've got an assignment for you.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53BLOWS NOSE

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- So, what is this special assignment, Max?- I want you to deliver this.

0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Deliver a paper?- The usual man's got flu.- No, I'm sorry, sir.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15We won't do it.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Ha!- Oh, well.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22I suppose I could deliver it to the Skinny Mallard myself.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Get something to eat, maybe. Might be good for my cold.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Wait, did you say Skinny Mallard?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Lester Lukenal's restaurant.- Who?

0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Pilbury's top chef.- That's the man. - I'll go! Please let me go.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41I've also fancied myself as a top-flight restaurant critic...

0:02:41 > 0:02:44MAX CHORTLES

0:02:44 > 0:02:48You do cheer my up sometimes, Digby. Not often...

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- But listen, you can deliver the paper if you really want to...- Yeah.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53..on one condition.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56You forget all this restaurant critic nonsense.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Yes, Max.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07The Skinny Mallard restaurant.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09We'll remember this in years to come, Hacker.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13- This is where I started my new career as a food critic.- But Max said...

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Don't worry, Hacker. I've got it all worked out.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20I'll sweet-talk Lester into letting me sample his food

0:03:20 > 0:03:23and then I'll write a review, and when Max sees that -

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Digby Digworth, food critic! - Tell me that again.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'll food-talk Max into letting me sample his sweet.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Lester will right a review...

0:03:32 > 0:03:36and when you see that... it's happy days.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38What could go wrong?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Genius(!)

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Ohhh.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46You as well?

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Flu?!

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Ohh. No, of course I understand,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54but at this rate, I won't have any staff working today.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57And today of all days.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01They're coming to judge... the Pudding of the Year competition.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Can anything else go wrong?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Hello!- Hiya!

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Shop!

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Ooh!

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Hm-hm-hm!

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Duck!

0:04:21 > 0:04:23No, no.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25HACKER LAUGHS Hacker!

0:04:29 > 0:04:35- Hello! Anybody home? - Just a minute.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Coo-ee... Oh!- Argh! - Mr Lukenal!

0:04:42 > 0:04:44What do you think you are doing?

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Are you some sort of idiot or just plain stupid?

0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Tough choice.- Let me help you up.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Ohhhh!

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Will you get out of my kitchen, please!

0:04:55 > 0:04:58No, no. You don't understand. I'm here to...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00I don't care who you are.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I am expecting a very important visit...

0:05:05 > 0:05:09You're not here for the pudding?

0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'm here for whatever's on the menu. Digby D Digworth is ready to tuck in!

0:05:13 > 0:05:17I'm so sorry. I didn't realise.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23It is my pleasure to welcome you to my kitchen.

0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Ooh! I must say, it all looks very scientific in here.- Ah!

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Careful. Liquid nitrogen.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36I can use that to freeze any of my ingredients to minus 210, you know.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Hmm.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Agh!

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Oooh...

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah, that's certainly very... very cold.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49And over here is my radiation exchange oven.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54This can reach temperatures of over 400 degrees.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56I'll take your word for that.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59But...I sidetrack.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04That is not why you have come here today, is it?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06HE GROANS

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Here it is.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14My entry for the Pudding of the Year competition.

0:06:14 > 0:06:19Prepare yourself for the Colossus of Pilbury!

0:06:19 > 0:06:21DIGBY GASPS

0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's a giant gingerbread man!

0:06:23 > 0:06:25LESTER CHUCKLES

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Just smell the sweetness of the spices...

0:06:28 > 0:06:30HE SNIFFS

0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Hmm...- A subtle blend of the juiciest ginger

0:06:32 > 0:06:35with some of my secret ingredients.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Hmm-mm!

0:06:38 > 0:06:43This, Mr Digworth, is the most sumptuous epicural delight

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- ever created!- Hmm-mm-mm!

0:06:47 > 0:06:51And I can't wait for you to taste it.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Neither can I.- But...

0:06:54 > 0:06:55not yet.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Ah!- If you take a seat next door,

0:06:57 > 0:07:03I shall prepare the Colossus in all his perfection.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05PHONE RINGS

0:07:05 > 0:07:09I do hope that is not another one of my staff ringing in sick.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Ohhh!

0:07:13 > 0:07:17That is gorgeous!

0:07:17 > 0:07:20What do you think of this, Hacker?

0:07:20 > 0:07:23It's a big gingerbread man.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Ah, yes, but...

0:07:25 > 0:07:30it's a subtle blend of...

0:07:30 > 0:07:32things.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33- Really(?)- Hmm.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36This is why I am destined to live my life as a food critic.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40This pudding is perfection...

0:07:40 > 0:07:45although I do think this eye is a little lopsided,

0:07:45 > 0:07:49and I'm sure Lester wouldn't want that.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50PLOP!

0:07:52 > 0:07:57- Oh, no.- It's not perfect now. - I'm supposed to be making my name

0:07:57 > 0:07:59as a restaurant reviewer, not a dessert destroyer.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01What am I going to do?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- What am I going to do?! - Fix the pudding.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06That is totally stupid!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08That's a good idea, actually. Yeah.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Yes, the Pudding of the Year competition,

0:08:11 > 0:08:15and your judge will be arriving... when?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Are you quite sure about that?

0:08:19 > 0:08:25Yes, that's VERY interesting.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Ahhh. That was a close call.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- <- Mr Digworth!

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Lester will never know.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36SPLAT!

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh, budgies!

0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Ohhhh!- Oh.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Mr...Digworth.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53You are not a judge for the Pudding of the Year competition.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Would you mind telling me

0:08:56 > 0:09:00what you are doing in MY kitchen?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Yes. Well, firstly, to deliver this...- Hiya!

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Ya-a-agh!

0:09:04 > 0:09:06What is that?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- It's a newspaper.- Yeah.- Not that,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12the hairy monstrosity attached to it!

0:09:12 > 0:09:17That is not a hairy monstrosity. That is my aide and assistant.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20It's a health hazard.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Out! Out!

0:09:22 > 0:09:23PHONE RINGS

0:09:23 > 0:09:27I want both of you gone when I get back.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Ohh...

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Maybe Lester won't notice the head's missing.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Oh, yes, he will.- Ohh.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- But even if he does, he wouldn't tell Max.- Yes, he will.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Max would understand, though? - Oh, no, he won't.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Ohhh.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Don't tell me - you've got the flu as well(!)

0:09:54 > 0:09:56No, no. That's quite all right.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00I can run the whole place on my own(!)

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Um...- You again?

0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Yeah!- Time for the police. - No, I'll only be a minute.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10I've come to make a small confession.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Yes, yes. You're not a judge, you're a...delivery man.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Well, actually, I'm a reporter. - A reporter, eh?

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Really? A reporter?

0:10:22 > 0:10:28- With the Pilbury Post.- Mr Digworth, I suppose I was a little offhand

0:10:28 > 0:10:33to you earlier, being stressed with my staff falling ill

0:10:33 > 0:10:36and presenting the Colossus for the competition.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Ah! About the Colossus...

0:10:38 > 0:10:43My finest achievement. The only one of its kind.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46You should be around for the judging, hmm?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Ooh! Thank you. I have always been interested in food.

0:10:49 > 0:10:55- HE GULPS - You're a f-f-food critic?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Well, hopefully.

0:10:57 > 0:11:02Mr Digworth, allow me to prepare the greatest meal

0:11:02 > 0:11:04that you have ever tasted.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09- Ohh.- You won't write anything bad, will you?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12No! But first, let me tell you about...

0:11:12 > 0:11:14All on the house, of course.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Really? Lead the way!

0:11:16 > 0:11:20BOTH CHUCKLE

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Just take a seat. Not literally, of course!

0:11:26 > 0:11:29BOTH LAUGH

0:11:29 > 0:11:30Ah!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40That one!

0:11:41 > 0:11:44I'll get you a menu.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47He-he. Psst!

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Hacker!- What did he say?

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Ah!

0:11:50 > 0:11:52You didn't tell him, did you?

0:11:52 > 0:11:55No. B-B-But only because I've got a better plan.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59I'll stay here and have a light lunch and keep Lester distracted,

0:11:59 > 0:12:02while you pop the head back on.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05I've got an even better plan. I'll have lunch out here

0:12:05 > 0:12:08and you can sort out the ginger fellow.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11But, Hacker, I have to eat the food myself

0:12:11 > 0:12:14if I'm going to write about it for Max!

0:12:14 > 0:12:16My first review.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20But when I'm famous we'll have slap-up meals all the time.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Promise?- Of course. Hurry up he'll be back soon

0:12:24 > 0:12:27and remember the head's in a bag on the shelf.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31I'll keep him out the kitchen till you're done. Go!

0:12:31 > 0:12:35I do a bit of cooking myself, you know, Lester.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Really? Fascinating.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41Not up to your standard but then I do have to work for a living.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43The menu.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- ALARM BELL RINGS - Ahh!

0:12:57 > 0:12:58HE SIGHS

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Well, I'm torn.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Let me help you decide.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07It's a toss up between the soup and the prawns,

0:13:07 > 0:13:13herrings, the pate and the omelette. Then there's lamb, chicken,

0:13:13 > 0:13:18oh, the trout sounds nice. The pork... Oh, lobster,

0:13:18 > 0:13:20then of course there's the noodles.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25OK, I'll leave you to choose and I'll go and finish the Colossus.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- What, in the kitchen?- Yes.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30No wait, I've chosen.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34And what would sir like?

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Um, I would like the...

0:13:38 > 0:13:41prawns...

0:13:42 > 0:13:45and then the trout.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48Excellent choice.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Where you going?

0:13:50 > 0:13:55To the kitchen to get your trout.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57I've gone off trout.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01Ooh!

0:14:10 > 0:14:12NERVOUSLY: Umm...

0:14:12 > 0:14:18I would like the lobster. Where's that from?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20The Scottish Isles.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Says here the lobster's fresh.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Is that fresher than the trout?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Mr Digwood!

0:14:31 > 0:14:35Allow me to choose something for you.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37No, wait!

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Uh-oh!

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Oh, Hacker...

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Calm, Lester. Calm.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Phew! Now...

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Ooh!

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Chilled tomato and wild fennel soup.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Enjoy.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Smells delicious.

0:15:07 > 0:15:12It's an epi...dural delight.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Indeed.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19Now, if you'll excuse me, I really must go and attend to my Colossus.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20No, wait!

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Where does this dish come from?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's a lovely dish.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's from a shop in Pilbury.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Anything else?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32No.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Yes!

0:15:35 > 0:15:36Um...

0:15:59 > 0:16:02HE PANTS

0:16:07 > 0:16:08Ooh.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- POTS AND PANS CLATTER - What was that?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I didn't hear anything.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Ahhh!

0:16:17 > 0:16:23It sounds like someone messing in my kitchen. Where is your dog?

0:16:23 > 0:16:27He's house-trained he wouldn't be messing in your kitchen.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Don't worry, Hacker, I won't let you down!

0:16:30 > 0:16:32He won't get his hands on you.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Although that does smell rather good...

0:16:39 > 0:16:42And I do have a review to write.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46So just a... Just a quick taste...

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I know you're in here.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Come out with your paws up.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Right...

0:17:10 > 0:17:11I'll get you, you...

0:17:17 > 0:17:21That was really good.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Now, where was I?
