0:00:07 > 0:00:09# Stories to be found
0:00:09 > 0:00:11# What's it all about?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# Got to go and check around
0:00:14 > 0:00:17# If there's a rumour going round
0:00:17 > 0:00:19# Don't you forget it

0:00:34 > 0:00:37I tell you, Hacker. You'll always find Digby D Digworth around
0:00:37 > 0:00:39when there's breaking news.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- Why, what have you broken now? - Who said I've broken anything?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Just a feeling.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Right. You download the paper and I'll get breakfast ready.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52And as a special treat...
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- ..toasted salami sandwiches. He-he. - Ooh!
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Ah!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Wa-ya-haaaa!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Grrrrrr! Ah!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Nom nom nom. He-he-he.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Right, let's look at my hold-the-front-page story
0:01:31 > 0:01:35about the man who found a sweetie on the pavement.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39COMPUTER BINGS Ah. They didn't hold the front page.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I don't think Max values my ace reporting.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48- Sometimes, I think he just wants to get rid of me.- Yeah.- No! No!
0:01:48 > 0:01:53I'm just overreacting. I'm sure Max isn't going to sack me. He-he-he.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Digby, you're sacked.- Told you.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- No! - You just don't bring in enough news.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04No! Please! Please, don't fire me, I'm begging you.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- I've got a wife and kids at home. - Grrr?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09They're not mine.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- They wandered in to watch TV. Now they refuse to leave.- All right.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I'll give you one last chance. You mess this up and you're out.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I want you to do a front page spread of Annie's Antiques.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Isn't that the oldest shop in Pilbury?- That's right, it is.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31In fact, it's so old it's an antique antique shop. Ha-ha. Get it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:37Antiques? Old? My beloved Auntie Annie runs it now.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42I love the place. It means the world to Annie. Oh, Auntie Annie.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So sweet, gentle, kind.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Despite that I still like her. - She sounds lovely.- Yeah, she is.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51She's getting old. I'm a bit worried.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55When I told her that, for her 70th, I'd run a story about her shop,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59she said something completely and utterly bonkers.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00What did she say?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04She said she wanted Digby D Digworth to write it!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Cuckoo! Cuckoo!- Hacker!- What?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Max's aunt is not cuckoo. She has excellent taste.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Given your reputation, Digby,
0:03:13 > 0:03:18I'm loathe to send you to an antique shop. Particularly a family concern.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- You are accident prone, after all. - Accident prone? Not me.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- You broke that mug this morning. - Yes, that was an accident, Hacker.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- We're right on it, Max. - This is your last chance, Digworth.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37CRASH!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Oh, budgies!
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Wahoo!
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Ha-ha-ha!
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Are we nearly there yet, Digby?- No!
0:04:01 > 0:04:07Quieten down, Fluffball. No need for all that racket.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Here comes your saucer of milk.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Lovely warm milkins for my favourite cat.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19There you are, that's it. You drink it all up.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Every last drop.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Not long now till you'll be living in luxury.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29You see, Annie has a plan. All I need...
0:04:29 > 0:04:33..is someone to help me.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44At last! Digby D Digworth.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Can I help you, you incredibly attractive and dashing young man?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Oh, me!- Cuckoo!- Stop it, Hacker.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I'm Digby D Digworth. You said you wanted me to write your story
0:05:01 > 0:05:03for the Pilbury Post, so here I am.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Oh, my goodness! I don't believe it. Imagine!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09THE Digby Digworth in the flesh.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Quite a lot of flesh.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Who said that?- I'm sorry. This is my faithful assistant.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh, what a beautiful cat!
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- Cat?!- Er, yes! Yes. Ha-ha! His name is Hacker.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Be nice, Hacker, she's old! - Mwaah!
0:05:26 > 0:05:33Oh, you adorable fluffy-wuffy winkie-woo!
0:05:33 > 0:05:39I've got just the thing for a hungry cutie-putie moggy, like you!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Some nice fish.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Tell her, I'm not a cat. I'm not eating old lady fish.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48That'll upset her. Remember, my job's on the line.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Grrrrr.- All right, I'll tell her!
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Here we are. Lovely prime salmon steak.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Oooh!- The thing is, Annie, you see, Hacker's not a cat.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Miaow!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Purr. Purr. Miaow.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Not a cat you're likely to forget in a hurry.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Oh, yes, like my Fluffball over here.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12But he's stuffed.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Oh, yes, he is stuffed. - I'm glad you noticed.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Very stuffed. Fluffball has quite the appetite.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Buuuuuurp!
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Oh! My goodness! Your cat is stuffed, as well.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Ho-ho-ho!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Yes. Look, Annie, I bought you these flowers.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38What a wonderful, thoughtful person you are, Digby.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Things couldn't be going better. She loves me!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'll put them in the vase for you. You have lovely things in this shop.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Beautiful and delicate.- Yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Highly breakable.- Don't you worry about breakable things.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Really?- No-one is coming in and breaking your valuables
0:06:58 > 0:07:01while Digby D Digworth is around. Do you know why?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- CRASH! - Oh!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Because you've already broken them?
0:07:09 > 0:07:16Heavens to Betsy! My beautiful antiques! Destroyed!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Oh, dear. You better send me the bill.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- You have got my address?- No.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Good, let's go, Hacker!- Yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Come on, Hacker!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Soon, everything in this shop will be smashed to pieces.
0:07:36 > 0:07:43And I can finally open my sanctuary for cats.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47That didn't go as well as expected. Chalk it up to experience
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and put antique shops on the list of places I'm not to go anywhere near.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57Zoos, greenhouses, museums, Australia. I'll put it there.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Antique shops. OK. Off we go.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05But tell Max you smashed her plates and you'll get the sack.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Give me your hand. Come on. Let's sort it out.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- Apologise, now, you can do it. - I am very, very sorry.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20If there's anything I can do to make it up,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22anything, anything at all,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25apart from synchronised swimming, I will do it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28There is a good way you can help me.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31BOTH: Yes?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35By drumming up new business.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42That's fantastic, you see, because I am a champion roller skater.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Really? - At least, I'm sure I will be.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- Once I've actually tried it. Anything to keep my job, Hacker.- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Gulp!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Do you need a hand getting out, Digby?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01No, no, Annie. You can rely on me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Uh-oh!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14CRASH!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Ahh! CLATTER
0:09:17 > 0:09:22SMASH! TINKLE! CRASH!
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Ha-ha-ha!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Rats, he missed the shelves!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Hmm?- Come along, Hacker.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Aaaaaah!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Aaaa-oh-aaaaa!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Burger! Can I have a...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14..burger with...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Aa-aa-aa-aa-aa!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18..tomato sauce, please!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Aa-aa-aa-aa-aa!
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Thank you!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Aaaaaaah! CLANG!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Aaaah! CRASH!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, budgies!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Oh! - I'm sure it's not as bad as it looks.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Anyway. Look on the bright side! At least I kept me burger safe.
0:10:55 > 0:11:01This grandfather clock is the only thing in the entire shop
0:11:01 > 0:11:03that hasn't been destroyed.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Max wants it in his office.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I think we all need a nice, strong cup of tea.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- How does that sound?- Smashing.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18No, no! I mean, great. Great.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Let's hope, when I get back,
0:11:20 > 0:11:26Max's precious clock hasn't been smashed into a million pieces.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- He-he.- Ha-ha!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Aha-ha-ha!- Ha-ha.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32HA-HA-HA-HA!
0:11:33 > 0:11:38What a lovely, tinkly laugh Annie has. Such a sweet old dear.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Are you sure?
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Yeah. Right. I had better keep an eye on Max's clock.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Because if that gets damaged, I will get fired. No doubt about it.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Just stay away from it. - I'm only having a look!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Don't make things any worse.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Fascinating. All these bits and pieces just to tell the time.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I prefer to tell the time the ancient Navajo way, myself.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Using a wristwatch. Dropped it!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- What?- My burger.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- It's all right. I think I can reach it.- Noooo!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13There, got it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17You're such a worrywart, Hacker. I know what I'm doing.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I'm hardly going to damage the one thing that can keep me in a job.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Only a complete idiot would do that. CREAK
0:12:24 > 0:12:27CLANG!
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I know. Hmm?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36AAAAAH!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Huhhhh!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45CLANG! It'll be fine.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49See? Sounds as good as new, don't you think?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Oh, no. Max is going to be furious!
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- I can't think repairing an old clock is that hard.- Uh-oh.- No.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00No, I just have to...gently...shift...
0:13:00 > 0:13:06..this piece of mechanism, I reckon, over...to there.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Gently swing this even more delicate looking piece of machinery,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13over there, and then...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15CLANG! ..voila!
0:13:15 > 0:13:18BOING!
0:13:18 > 0:13:19There's only one thing for it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Tea's up, Mr Digby.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Oh! Where's he gone?
0:13:32 > 0:13:39- Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. Tick-tock.- Oh!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41The time's gone ten o'clock!
0:13:41 > 0:13:47The clock should have chimed by now.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'll do it. Ahem.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Bing-bong, bing-bong, bong, bongily bong.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Ba-hoooooong!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- KNOCKING - Come in.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Poor old dear. Hasn't got a clue we're in here.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06CREAKING AND CLATTERING
0:14:11 > 0:14:14All my beautiful antiques destroyed.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Well done, Digby.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25How'd I know the door only opens from outside?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28We won't be stuck here forever. Max'll be back soon.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33We've got to keep doing clock noises, or he'll know you broke his clock.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- I broke it?- I'm glad you admit it. - Ah! I'm not having that!- Shh.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Oh. Look at the craftsmanship.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Absolutely superb.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49What? Not keeping very good time, though, is it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53CLICKING
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Tick-tock, tick-tock, ow!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Tick-tock, ow! Tick-tock. Stop it!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Tick-tock, ow! Tick-tock, ow! Tick-tock, ow! Tick...That hurts!
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Ah. Oh, look. A speaking grandfather clock.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Bongity bong bong bong.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Booooong!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- What time is it now? - It's lunch time.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Must be. It's lunch time, everyone, That's lunch, thank you.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25There's only one person that thinks lunch
0:15:25 > 0:15:28is half past ten in the morning.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Oh, yes. I know exactly what time it is.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Time I did something very nasty to Digby Digworth.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Annie told me what you did to my family's shop.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Totally destroyed it!- No, I didn't. - You smashed it up!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Other than that, it was all right. - You're fired.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Get your hat and get out.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Never darken my carpet again.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Ohhh.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I darkened his carpets.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02You can see how I've let myself go, Hacker.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It's only been 15 minutes since Max sacked you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Yes, but do you know what?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I'm going to show Max what a big mistake he made.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- After all, there's plenty of other jobs I can do.- Like what?- Like...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17..lots of things!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21No, you're right. You're right.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26I was born to be a great reporter and that's all I'll ever be.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I need to persuade Max to take me back,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32and I think I know just how to do it.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Apologise to Annie and get your job back?- Yes!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It'll be such a heart felt apology.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41It'll be better than the last one
0:16:41 > 0:16:43and better than the one before that.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48You see, some men were born to climb mountains
0:16:48 > 0:16:52and other men were born to fly space rockets,
0:16:52 > 0:16:56but Digby D Digworth was born to say sorry.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- THUMP - Ah!- I'm sorry.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Really sorry. I'm truly sorry.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05You've still got it, Digby. You've still got it!
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Goodness, gracious. I didn't expect to see you again.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- Here I am!- It's lovely to see you little fluffy kittykins.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I've brought you some special cat treats. Mwa mwa!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Pthh! Urgh.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27A hairball.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33I am so very sorry for the trouble I've caused you, Annie.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Max said what the shop means to you. - Of course.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42You left me with no choice. I've got to close it down.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45No! Close the shop?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You won't tell Max to give me my job back, now.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Oh, yes, of course I'll do that. - You will?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Then you'd have to be the kindest, sweetest person I've ever met.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I take back everything I said
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- about old ladies in the Post Office. - There's just one thing.- Anything.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Anything at all. You name it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Your lovely Hacker.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15What, you want to keep my dog, er, I mean, cat?
0:18:15 > 0:18:20- Gulp!- Oh, yes. He'll be much happier here with me and Fluffball.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24You can see what great friends they've become already.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30- Ah! Get off!- I can't. I couldn't. - That would be make me very upset.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I will have to tell Max
0:18:32 > 0:18:36that I think he made the right decision to sack you.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41I wouldn't want to upset you. OK. You've got a deal.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- What? No! Digby! - Goodbye, old friend.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Treat her as well as you've treated me over the years.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Bye-bye!
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Look at us! One very happy family.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12Digby Digworth certainly lived up to his reputation for clumsiness.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Huh?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Have I done the right thing?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23It's not a decision to be taken lightly.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I don't know, I'm not sure.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30All right, yes. Yes, I will definitely
0:19:30 > 0:19:33have the tomato sauce. Yeah!
0:19:33 > 0:19:41There. Now that is one nice hot dog. Ha-ha-ha!
0:19:42 > 0:19:43A dog...
0:19:46 > 0:19:47I had a dog once.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51And his name...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54..was Hacker.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57HE SOBS
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I shouldn't worry about Hacker.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03He'll have a good life with Annie and never want for anything.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08He'll have cat food, cat blankets, cat holidays.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Who am I kidding? I can't leave Hacker behind, he's my best friend.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And I think he likes me, too.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21No, I am taking my cat ho-... I am taking my dog home.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24If that means losing my job and living on the streets,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I don't care. Hacker is worth more than any job.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Even the best job in the world.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41- Leap up and get your treat, Fluffball.- Yeah, leap up, Fluffball.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44BOOM!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'm here for my dog.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Yeah!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Dog? What dog? There are no dogs here.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Yes, there is.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59He's my dog.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Come on, Hacker, we're going home. - No, you're not.- Woof! Woof!
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Miaow!- Ah!- Oh!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10She wanted you to smash everything.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Don't be ridiculous.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14She hates the shop.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Don't be ridiculous. Max told us how much she loves the place.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- How'd she know I'd break everything. - Don't be ridiculous(!)
0:21:22 > 0:21:26What would Max know? They're all the same, my family.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30They're all convinced I love it here and I'll never retire.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35But if some idiot should smash all the antiques,
0:21:35 > 0:21:39then I'd have to close it down, and open up...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42..Moggieland! Ah!
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So, you just brought me here to break things?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Is that it?- Yes. - You don't think I'm a great reporter.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Of course not. You're as useless as this vase.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- What vase?- This one.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01Oh! I'm so close to my dream of opening a cat sanctuary.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06I'm not going to let some idiot like you stop me now. Get him, Fluffball!
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- Attack!- Woof!- Aaaaah!
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Look out!
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Aaah! - CRASH!
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- There's your paper, Mr De Lacey. - Ah, excellent.
