-Hello!

-Hello!

And welcome to Tikkabilla.

I am really excited because we are opening the Tikkabilla Cafe!

-Oh!

-Tamba is getting the tables and chairs ready,

and we're looking for things to put on the table, like plates...

Plates - good idea. Let's get them!

Plates, plates, plates.

Ah, here they are. Plates! Now, what else do we need?

-Um...

-Oh, I know! Knives and forks.

-I'll get the knives and forks.

-OK.

Knives and forks... Here we go!

Right. We've got plates, knives and forks. What else do we need?

-I know! Cups.

-And saucers!

-You get the cups and I'll get the saucers.

-OK.

-Lovely cups.

-Got those here.

-That's it.

-You know what, Lorna?

-What?

-I think we're ready to open the Tikkabilla Cafe!

-Oh!

-Come on.

Hello! I love playing cafes. Ted and Ellie are going to play, too.

-Hello, Tamba.

-Hello, Lorna. Hello, Justin.

-Hi, Tamba.

Now, we've got everything ready for the Tikkabilla Cafe.

We've got cups and saucers, knives and forks, and plates.

-Yes, but Lorna...

-Mm-hm?

We haven't got anything to eat.

-Oh...

-Oh...

You're right, Tamba.

Don't worry, you two. I'll go and open the Tikkabilla Bakery!

-Ooh!

-Ooh!

Right, then...

Hey, this is perfect!

Welcome to the Tikkabilla Bakery!

Take a look at this lot. Wow! Yummy, scrummy!

Down the bottom here, we've got some chocolate eclairs,

and on the first floor, we have some fruit scones,

and at the top, my favourite - five currant buns!

Why don't you sing along with me? Are you ready?

# Five currant buns in a baker's shop

# Round and fat with a cherry on the top

# Along came Tamba with a penny one day... # Thank you!

# Bought a currant bun and took it away. # There you go, Tamba.

-Ellie would love a currant bun.

-Oh, OK, then, Ellie.

# Four currant buns in a baker's shop

# Round and fat with a cherry on the top

# Along came Ellie with a penny one day

# Bought a currant bun and took it away. #

There we are. One currant bun for you, Ellie. Who's next, please?

Teddy would like one, too, please.

# Three current buns in a baker's shop

# Round and fat with a cherry on the top

# Along came Teddy with a penny one day

# Bought a currant bun and took it away. #

-There you go, Teddy.

-Ooh...

-They look so good. Could I have one?

-Shall we give one to Lorna?

# Two currant buns in a baker's shop

# Round and fat with a cherry on the top

# Along came Lorna with a penny one day

# Bought a currant bun and took it away. #

Now there's only one currant bun left...and no customers!

Oh-ho!

Hip! Wey! # One currant bun in a baker's shop

# Round and fat with a cherry on the top

# Along came Justin with a penny one day

# Bought a currant bun and took it away. #

Mm-mm!

Mmm...

Tamba, we've got everything we need.

We've got cups and saucers,

knives and forks,

plates and food.

But, Lorna, there's still something missing.

What's that?

Justin!

Somebody call?

You know what? I love currant buns.

Mm-mm!

-TINKLING

-Oh! That sounds like the windows.

I think there are children making cakes through one of them today.

Let's go and find out, shall we?

How many windows?

One...two...three.

Round...square...or arched,

which one will it be?

It's the square window.

'Felix and Milo are going to make some fairy cakes with their mum.'

I'm just going to measure some flour...

'Mum is measuring out the flour to start making the cake mix.'

Pour it all in.

Pour it all in...

Good boy. Now give it a shake.

'Felix is using a sieve.

'This will get rid of any lumps and bumps in the flour.'

Good boys! OK, what goes in next?

-Sugar!

-Shall we put the sugar in?

What goes in next?

Butter!

Here we go.

Mix!

'All the ingredients are mixed together.'

-Keep mixing.

-Ugh... It's disgusting!

'It's getting very messy!'

FELIX AND MILO GIGGLE

-OK, what's this?

-Eggs!

'Mum is beating the eggs before they go into the mixture.'

OK, let's put the egg in.

-Here we go.

-All together.

-Now, don't touch it with your hands.

'Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix!'

OK, shall we put some of this in?

Let's put in some of this, shall we?

'And now some flavouring to make the cakes taste even nicer.'

Good boy!

'And then even more mixing.

'Once the mixture is ready, it can be put into little paper cases.'

OK, put it in. Scrape it off, like that. That's it.

OK, Milo's turn. Give the spoon to Milo.

Milo's turn. OK, scrape it in there.

All done.

Shall we put these in the oven? Come on, then.

They should be ready in about ten minutes.

'Ten minutes later, Mum puts on her oven gloves

'so she doesn't burn herself on the oven or the hot cake tin.

'Mmm...

'they look good enough to eat.

'Once the cakes have cooled down, Mum takes them back to the boys.'

Boys, look at these!

Shall we decorate them?

OK, shall we put some of this on the cake? There you go.

Good boys.

There we go.

'Wow! Those chocolate toppings look scrummy!

'Milo and Felix think so, too!

-'Look at the pretty decorations that they're using.'

-Beautiful.

'Milo! That's supposed to go on the cake,

'not in your tummy!

'That's better. Honestly! You won't have enough room left for cake!'

Look at all those cakes you made. Aren't they lovely?

Do you want to try one?

Oh, look!

Is that yummy?

-Mm-hm.

-Mmm...

-It's in my tummy.

-It's yummy in your tummy?

-It's yummy in my belly!

-That cake looks absolutely delicious!

I used to love baking cakes with my mum.

Why don't we pretend to make a cake together?

Now, I've already washed my hands.

We need to get a bix mixing bowl.

First of all, we need some butter.

Then some sugar...

Sprinkle that in.

Not too much, though.

Then some eggs.

Crack! Poong! Click!

Crack! Poong! Click!

That's two eggs and some flour.

Nice big bag of flour and a sieve

and sprinkle it in.

It looks a little bit like snow.

Now, we're ready to mix!

Get your wooden spoon and your bowl

and mix, mix, mix, mix!

Whew! It's hard work, isn't it?

Mix, mix, mix...

Oh, that's all lovely and creamy!

Now we need to put it into our baking tin.

Scrape it in...

..and smooth it down.

There we go. Now, into the oven.

Put our oven gloves on...

Be very careful...

Ooh...

My mum was always really careful with our cakes.

There! Finished!

Oh...

Look at the mess!

I think it's time to tidy up.

TINKLING We'll do it later.

Tikkabilla, tockabilla

Tikkabilla, tock

What's the time on the Tikkabilla Clock?

Well, the long hand is pointing down to the number 6,

so that means it's half past something.

And the short hand

is halfway past the number 7.

So it must be half past 7.

Mmm... But what's underneath the clock?

Oh!

It's a Highland cow.

And he's in a bit of a mess.

Now, today's story is called Hamish, The Highland Cow.

It was springtime in the glen.

All the animals were preening and cleaning their spring coats.

All except...Hamish, the Highland cow.

Hamish never groomed his long, tangly coat.

He hated having baths

and he certainly never, ever

let anyone cut his hair.

Hamish's hair was so long

that he couldn't always see through it.

It was so knotty and tangly

-that things lived in it.

-Eugh!

And it was so sticky with toffee

that everything stuck to it.

You see,

Hamish loved eating toffee.

Sticky, gooey, chewy toffee.

And the perfect place to keep his toffee treats

was in his long, tangly coat. TAMBA GIGGLES

But the other animals had had enough

of Hamish's stinky, dirty, matted hair.

"It's time you had a haircut, Hamish," said Cat.

"What?!" cried Hamish.

"A haircut?! Never!"

"We'll give you a big surprise," said Rabbit.

Now, Hamish loved surprises.

"Mmm," he thought.

"What if the surprise was a never-ending supply of toffee?

"Mmm!

"Maybe a wee trim," he said to his friends.

So the next morning, the animals

and a very nervous Hamish set off for the hairdresser.

It wasn't far and before long they had arrived.

Hamish slowly peered around the salon door.

Sheep salon!

What a sight!

There were pink sheep, blue sheep, stripy sheep and polka-dot sheep.

There were sheep with big hair, short hair, long hair, curly-whirly hair,

and there in the middle of them all,

snipping and clipping away, was...

BOTH: ..the hairdresser!

Hamish hadn't realised that the hairdresser could be so much fun.

There were lots of books to read and great things to play with.

Smelly things, spray things,

and a big chair that went up and down.

and round and round! Whee-ee-ee! Then,

"Mr Hamish," said the hairdresser. "What will it be today, sir?"

Hamish still felt a bit nervous, but he took a deep breath,

"Uh-h! A w-wee trim, p-please," he said.

The hairdresser set to work on Hamish's coat.

With a snippety-snip and a clippity-clip,

the scissors whizzed over Hamish's long, tangly coat.

It didn't hurt at all.

"What do you think, Mr Hamish?" asked the hairdresser.

Hamish looked in the mirror.

-"Oh! Gr-r-roovy!"

-Groovy!

He beamed. All the animals agreed.

And the hairdresser even gave Hamish lots of toffees for being so brave.

But Hamish looked sad.

"I've got nowhere to keep them," he said.

Then, "SURPRISE!" shouted his friends.

And they gave Hamish a very special bag to put all his yummy toffees in.

Hamish was delighted.

He popped his toffees in his bag and set off home with his friends.

"Now you're the coolest cow in the Highlands," said the animals,

giving Hamish a huge hug.

"Oh, don't mess up my hair," said a very smart...

SHE SNIFFS ..and sweet-smelling Hamish!"

Hamish's friends were really kind.

Hamish had a place for all of his sticky toffees.

But I wonder what he did with all of the sweet wrappers.

I hope he either put them in the bin,

or better still, saved them to make something.

And I'm gonna have a go at making something out of sweet wrappers.

I'm gonna make a shiny fish.

Now, to start off, I've got a piece of card here.

It can be any colour you like.

So, we need a fish's body. So I'm gonna draw around a butter carton.

Place that upside down like that,

and then just carefully draw all around it with a pen or a pencil.

I'm using a pencil here today. That's it.

Keep it steady. There. Perfect.

And now take some scissors and very carefully cut the body out.

You may need to get some help if you're using scissors.

It can be a bit tricky. Always cut away from your hand.

Take your time as you go around. That's it.

All the way around.

Nearly there.

There. Right. So, that's our fish's body.

It looks a bit dull at the moment, doesn't it?

I think it needs to be a bit shiny,

so I've got some lovely shiny foil here.

I'm just going to tear off a strip, like that.

Turn it upside down.

I'm gonna place this piece of card on the top, and then what we do is

we just wrap the foil all the way around the body like that,

and then just give it a good push. It'll stay nice and secure. There!

That's better! Now this is where my shiny sweet wrappers come in.

I've got a bowl of them here. Hmm, and they're all empty as well.

I wonder who's eaten all of the toffees. I think it was Tamba.

Now, we're gonna start with some fish fins.

I'm gonna use a green one for this. Just pinch the end of the wrapper

and just give it a twist and then take a piece of sticky tape...

I'm just gonna tape that down...

..to the body, like that. There.

Oh, I think we need another piece of tape to hold it down. There.

And then I'm gonna use a pink wrapper this time.

Another little twist.

Another piece of sticky tape. Oh, it's looking lovely and shiny.

I think we need one more wrapper.

How about a blue one this time?

So, crunch it up with a little twist at the end.

More tape.

Then stick that down with the others.

There. And that makes a lovely tailfin for our fish, doesn't it?

Now, what else do we need?

Well, I think we need another fin in the middle here. So...

turn the fish around this way up.

I'm gonna use a lovely orange wrapper.

That's it.

Another twist. More sticky tape.

Just pop that in the middle. There! Look at that!

Those fins look great, don't they?

Now, something's missing on our fish. What do you think it is?

Our fish needs a...fishy face.

Right. So, for the face, I'm gonna use a pen for the mouth.

Big, happy, smiley mouth. There.

It's a lovely colour, as well.

And then for the fish eye, I'm gonna use another wrapper.

I'm gonna use a green one. Now this time,

really scrunch it up nice and tight into a small ball.

And then one more piece of sticky tape to stick the eye down...

..like that.

There. Isn't that looking great? And to finish it off,

you can hang it from somewhere.

Now, I'm gonna use a piece of silver thread.

If we turn the fish upside down and hang...

the thread over the fish...

Stick it down like that with a piece of tape.

And then you can hang your fish from the ceiling or the wall.

TINKLING

Hey! There's the windows.

And we can see how fish and other creatures move

through one of the windows today.

Let's swim over and find out.

HE GLUGS

How many windows?

One, two, three.

Round, square or arched?

Which one will it be?

TINKLING

It's the round window.

Look at the huge ocean.

Miles and miles of water.

We can't live without water.

Nothing can live without water.

These animals live IN the water.

They couldn't survive unless there was lots of water.

They have clever ways of moving around and looking very graceful.

The octopus is a funny-looking thing

with eight arms called tentacles

that sway in the water searching for food.

It scoots along the ocean floor, tentacles everywhere...

..its big round body going first,

and its big beady eyes on the lookout for danger.

Big flatfish called rays scoot along the ocean floor, as well.

It looks like an underwater pancake, doesn't it?

Its fins look more like wings, don't they?

Look how its body moves in the water, gently bending its fins.

One of my favourites in this underwater world is the jellyfish.

It's rather unusual looking, but it swims beautifully.

Look at this. It's a type of slug that lives in the sea.

Isn't it a wonderful colour?

It's called a Spanish dancer.

It sways around a bit like a dancing lady, doesn't it?

What's this big underwater creature with a large flat tail?

People call them sea cows

because they live in the sea and they eat grass.

But they don't look anything like a cow, do they?!

This fish is able to dart about really quickly in the water.

It's a blue marlin with a long, pointy face,

which looks sharp as a pin.

The marlin is a good shape to swim fast.

Look at it go!

Whatever shape the animals are that live in the oceans and seas,

big or small, round or flat, fins or flippers,

they're all very at home underwater.

Hey, did you notice

that sometimes fish can swim very slowly in the water?

HE GLUGS SLOWLY

And then suddenly they can swim very fast!

FAST GLUGGING I can move slowly

and get faster and faster

and faster!

And I can move even faster than you, Lorna,

because I'm driving in my car!

-Oh!

-Beep! Beep!

-BEEP!

# Driving in my car I can travel far

# Driving in my car Going brrm, brrm, brrm!

-# I can beep my horn

-BEEP!

-From early dusk till dawn

# When I'm driving in my car!

# Beep, beep, beep, beep Beep, beep, beep

# When I'm driving in my car! # Brrrm!

Chugga-chugga-chug! Whoo! Whoo!

All aboard the Tikkabilla Express! It's ready to leave.

# Driving in my train Come wind or shine or rain

# Driving in my train Going chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga

# I can give a toot And give a great big hoot

# When I'm driving in my train! # Here we go!

# Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga

# Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga Chug, chug, chug!

# When I'm driving in my train! # Hi, Lorna!

Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga...

# Sailing on my boat I just float and float

# Sailing on my boat Going splash, splash, splash

# I just drift along And sing a happy song

# When I'm sailing on my boat

# Splash, splash, splash, splash Splash, splash, splash

-# When I'm sailing on my boat! #

-Nee-ow!

# Flying in my plane Nothing is the same

# As flying in my plane Going whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! #

I can say, "Ladies and gentlemen,

"We are now flying at a height of 30,000ft"

# And always look so neat

# When I'm flying in my plane!

# Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh

# When I'm flying in my plane! # Who-ho!

Nee-ow!

-Maybe you could pretend to sail in your boat?

-Or fly in your plane!

-Or drive a car!

-See you next time. ALL: Bye-bye!
