0:00:09 > 0:00:13Here they come! My two intrepid explorers -
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Charlotte and Elliott.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19I'm their Great Aunt Lizzie, you see.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23And I wonder which one is coming to see me today...
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Ah! So, it's Charlotte's turn.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Here she comes!
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Racing to hear another tale from an epic adventurer.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34CLINK, CLINK, CLINK!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47And what wonderful adventures they were!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51So long ago and so far away...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I collected a few souvenirs along the way.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05But my most precious possession of all is my extraordinary
0:01:05 > 0:01:08collection of teacups.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26You've still got your coat on, Charlotte. Come on!
0:01:26 > 0:01:31No time to count the clouds. We've got stories to tell!
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Now, let's have a lovely cup of tea.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- But first, we need...- A teacup!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49But which one?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02That one!
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Mmm... The Tiger Tally.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08What a choice, Charlotte.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I REALLY do love that story.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22This will be just perfect to drink now.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- So, are you ready?- Ready!
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Then let me tell you the story of Great Aunt Lizzie
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And The Tiger Tally Mix-up.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Ahem!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh, yes, of course!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Let me tell you the story of CHARLOTTE
0:02:44 > 0:02:47And The Adventure Of The Tiger Tally Mix-up.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49It all started long, long ago,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53in the magnificent Empire of China,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56with its towering Himalayan mountains,
0:02:56 > 0:03:01lush scented fields and thick green forests.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05MAGICAL ADVENTURE MUSIC
0:03:20 > 0:03:24After journeying for days among the mountains, Charlotte came
0:03:24 > 0:03:29at last to the longest wall ever built in the history of the world...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32The Great Wall of China.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36As she entered one of the fortresses, she found herself
0:03:36 > 0:03:41in the middle of a courtyard, where something caught her eye.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45An old lady was busy mixing all sorts of ingredients together.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Flowers, roots and seeds. Was she making a magic potion?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Or maybe a special salad dressing? Perhaps a perfume?
0:03:54 > 0:04:00There you go, Mr San. Please, take it three times a day.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Thank you very much, Doctor Jiangnu. I'll let you know if it improves.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Please do. And take care.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Right. Time for some more supplies, I think.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- RATTLING - Oh! Oh, dear!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Charlotte rushed to help the old lady.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, thank you very much!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35What do you use all these things for?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Well, this is my great collection
0:04:39 > 0:04:43of wonderful Chinese herbs.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47All these are to help people when they are not well.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Each herb treats something different.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58- Do you have any problems I can help you with?- Erm, no.- That's good.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01But if you ever do need any help,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I live just round the corner.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And have a good day!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Thank you very much for your help.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14You're very welcome. Bye!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Suddenly, out of nowhere... - MAN:- Here, here! Here, here!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Charlotte heard a loud voice. - MAN:- Here, here!
0:05:21 > 0:05:26It sounded like someone was making a very important announcement.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Here, here! Here, here!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I'm the messenger of Her Majesty, Lady Wang,
0:05:31 > 0:05:32the Great Empress of China.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Whoever carries a Tiger Tally must step forward now.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40At that point, Charlotte didn't know what a Tiger Tally was.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43So, she ignored the messenger's announcement.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Instead, her eye was caught by something on the ground,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50where the old lady had been standing a minute ago.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53It was a tiny, beautifully carved tiger.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Or, in truth, it was HALF a tiger. How strange!
0:05:58 > 0:06:02The old doctor must have dropped it while she was packing her things.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Charlotte was about to go and return it to the doctor
0:06:05 > 0:06:10when the tiger figure was suddenly snatched from her grasp!
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- Thank you very much!- Hey, what are you doing?- Confirming your identity.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18You're most definitely the Empress's Doctor.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Could I have it back, please? - Of course!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23But first, you must complete a mission.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I've to read you a special message from Her Majesty, Lady Wang,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- the Great Empress of China. - Wait - you've made a mistake.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34No, your Tiger Tally matches mine perfectly.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36But it's not MY Tiger Tally.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39The doctor who was here must have dropped it by mistake.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42But Charlotte's attempt to explain
0:06:42 > 0:06:44she wasn't the doctor fell on deaf ears.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Back then in China, a Tiger Tally was
0:06:47 > 0:06:50all a messenger needed to prove who someone was.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Her Majesty, Lady Wang, the great Empress of China,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57will soon arrive at this fort.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00She has unfortunately developed a rash on her arms,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02while walking on the Great Wall.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06You are required to make a medicine that will heal the rash.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09What a conundrum! Charlotte was not a doctor.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14She couldn't make the Empress feel better. What on earth could she do?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Excuse me, shouldn't a doctor carry a special doctor's bag?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Where's yours, if I may ask? - But I don't have
0:07:21 > 0:07:24a special doctor bag because...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26You must go and get whatever you need.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Be quick, before the Empress gets here.- This was it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- This was her chance to get the real doctor.- I'll be as quick as I can.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39As soon as Charlotte found the doctor's house,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43she thought that fixing this mix-up would be as easy as ABC.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48But, of course, it was never going to be as easy as that.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Are you looking for Dr Jiangnu? - Yes.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57I'm afraid she left a while ago to pick up some herbs in the mountains.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00She won't be long. Just a day or two.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It was only just past breakfast.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06How had she got into such a pickle already?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- She had helped the doctor pick up the herbs.- Thank you very much!
0:08:10 > 0:08:15She had found the Tiger Tally lying by the bench.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18She had tried to explain to the messenger that she wasn't
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- the doctor but he wouldn't listen. - What? Wait. You've made a mistake.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26And she had thought bringing the doctor to clear up
0:08:26 > 0:08:28the confusion would be a doddle.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31She couldn't go back to the messenger, or worse,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34the Empress, without the doctor, could she?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36There was nothing else for it but to get
0:08:36 > 0:08:41a wriggle on to the hills to find the doctor and bring her back.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52So, off went charlotte in her old battered boots.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55She scrambled up the misty mountain paths until,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58when she was almost out of breath,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00the path ran out!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02ROCKS TUMBLE
0:09:04 > 0:09:06BIRD CRY ECHOES
0:09:06 > 0:09:10There was only one way to get to the other side.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Charlotte took a deep breath...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:09:28 > 0:09:30BOARDS CREEK
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Safely across, Charlotte soon found herself overlooking
0:09:39 > 0:09:41the most beautiful landscape.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51But there was no time to stop and admire the view.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Charlotte had to find that doctor.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Hello!- I'm so glad I found you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02How can I help you?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I found your Tiger Tally on the floor
0:10:04 > 0:10:07and then the messenger thought I was you
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- and then he told me I had to cure the Empress from a rash.- A rash?
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- Oh, dear!- Do you have anything that would cure her?- Yes, I think so...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22No, wait...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I don't have any astragalus root.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Without that, I won't be able to help the Empress.- Oh...
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- So, do you know where we can find some?- Yes.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Somewhere here but I haven't seen any.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I could look while you go to the Empress.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Do you know what you're looking for? - For a moment, Charlotte was stumped.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48But then she looked in her bag for a bit of inspiration
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- and pulled out... - I've got this book of flowers.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- It should help me find the astragalus flower.- Wonderful!
0:10:57 > 0:11:02I'll go now and meet you at the fortress by the Great Wall.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07As Doctor Jiangnu set off to the Empress, Charlotte
0:11:07 > 0:11:11set about looking for an astragalus flower.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15She checked each plant and flower until finally,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19hidden behind a rock, she found what she was looking for.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23TRADITIONAL CHINESE MUSIC
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Back came Charlotte in her old battered boots,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32over the open fields and down the mountainside.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40She pressed on back to the fortress with her important package.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- I've got it! - Thank you very much!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Now your mission is complete, I will give you back your Tiger Tally.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Oh, no, I told you. It belongs to the doctor.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- I think you helped just as much as I did.- Yes, I agree.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Thank you both ever so much for your help.- It's a pleasure.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13And now you've had your medicine, Empress,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16let's all have a nice cup of tea!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Yes! Let's!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24And that was that. The whole kit and caboodle.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Charlotte And The Adventure Of The Tiger Tally Mix-up.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I was a bit worried when the messenger thought
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- I was a Chinese doctor.- Well, you did have the right Tiger Tally -
0:12:34 > 0:12:37the only thing he needed to prove your identity.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Lucky I managed to escape and find the real doctor.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- And the astragalus root too. - Yeah.- You were so helpful!
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I would have given you a Tiger Tally myself if I was the Empress.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Well, I'll be blowed! Is that the time already? Come on!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Your mum will be here in a minute.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Your coat.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Now, how did that get there?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Home time now, Charlotte.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Thanks, Great Aunt Lizzie! - Cheery-bye, Charlotte!
