-Oh, Tadcu! You made me miss that!

-I'm sorry, boys, but your mother

-told me to make sure you're in bed.

-Dafydd says he scored ten baskets

-in a row at school today.

-It's true! Why don't you believe me?

-It's true! Why don't you believe me?

-

-Some things are hard to believe.

-Yes, especially impossible things

-like getting ten baskets in a row!

-Impossible things

-make the best stories, Sion...

-..especially if they're true.

-My impossible thing is true.

-You must know stories about

-impossible but true things, Tadcu.

-Well, yes.

-I once had a real adventure

-which was hard to believe.

-It all started one afternoon when I

-was in the cinema with my friends...

-..watching a film about Moc Daear,

-the great wild animal hunter.

-He caught some incredible animals.

-I am Moc Daear

-and I'm here with my loyal crew...

-..battling through thick undergrowth

-in a dark African jungle.

-We're searching for the strongest,

-the wisest...

-..and the most cunning creature

-of them all.

-The gorilla.

-Wowee!

-Wow! I wish I could bring that film

-to life and be just like Moc Daear.

-He is a brilliant hunter.

-We could do that, Ffyrgi.

-Really?

-Really?

-

-Yes, of course.

-We've just got to be brave

-and use our heads.

-Good luck with finding wild animals

-in Ireland.

-All we have are sheep and donkeys.

-The train! The circus train!

-Train? Circus?

-What are you on about, Mali?

-Mali's excited about

-the circus train.

-What?! The circus is coming to town?

-What?! The circus is coming to town?

-

-No, Dwynwen.

-The train is just passing through.

-The train is just passing through.

-

-But it's a circus train!

-Let's check it out, boys!

-Oh, dear me!

-It's a shame the train didn't stop.

-I'd love to see the circus.

-One day, my friends...

-..I'm going to be in the circus.

-Don't you want to go on safari?

-Yes. I'll do that, too.

-I'll catch wild animals on safari

-and perform with them in the circus.

-You can't catch wild animals

-and be in the circus.

-There we are, then.

-I'll just go on safari.

-Itchy, itchy, itchy! Got to scratch!

-Get him off me!

-Well done!

-Navy blue!

-The flock has scattered and

-it'll take days to get them back.

-I just hope they're easier to find

-than last time.

-An elephant stampede!

-Dwynwen, are you alright?

-My mouth's full of

-elephant feathers.

-Catching wild animals isn't easy.

-Feathers are part of the job.

-Porchell! Have a wash before supper.

-Porchell! Have a wash before supper.

-

-Oh, Mami!

-I was about to catch

-some fierce lions.

-Catch them tomorrow.

-Supper's on the table.

-Alright! Let's meet back here

-tomorrow to go on a big cat safari.

-We may even catch a gorilla.

-I like cats,

-especially the fluffy ones.

-Any cat is fine by me,

-as long as it has no feathers.

-Leave that helmet outside

-please, Porchell!

-We were walking home,

-talking about Moc Daear...

-..when that helmet

-fell down from the sky.

-Listen, Porchell. That's impossible.

-Helmets don't just fall down

-from the sky.

-I'm telling you, Dad!

-That's what happened.

-It looks like Moc Daear's helmet.

-I'll be a famous hunter

-one day, Dad.

-This is fate! It's going to happen.

-Then, a massive gorilla

-came rushing out of the jungle.

-Moc wasn't afraid.

-Ffyrgi, Dwynwen and I are going to

-catch lions and gorillas tomorrow.

-It sounds like a great game.

-It sounds like a great game.

-

-It isn't a game - it's my career.

-Well, you'd better get some sleep.

-Catching gorillas is hard work.

-Catching gorillas is hard work.

-

-Yes, I know. Goodnight, Dad.

-Goodnight, son.

-A good hunter

-always wears his helmet.

-A gorilla!

-Porchell?

-Porchell?

-

-Porchell? Porchell?

-Where are you, Porchell?

-Where are you, Porchell?

-

-Has it gone?

-Has the gorilla gone, Dad?

-Has the gorilla gone, Dad?

-

-You're still a hunter, are you?

-Oh, Porchell! Those wild animals

-are giving you nightmares.

-It wasn't a dream.

-I saw a gorilla.

-It's true!

-It's true!

-

-Listen, Porchell!

-Dreams can seem very real.

-No! I can prove it.

-Prove it in the morning.

-Try to dream about smaller animals.

-Oh!

-I can't blame my parents

-for not believing me.

-The idea of an Irish gorilla

-was hard to swallow...

-..but every word is true.

-And I came face-to-face with

-a big, scary, Irish gorilla.

-Are you telling me you saw a gorilla

-in your bedroom last night?

-Yes, of course! You see

-Irish gorillas every day!

-I did see a gorilla but my parents

-think it was just a dream.

-I really did see him!

-He was as real

-as this helmet in my hand.

-Hey!

-Dwynwen and Ffyrgi

-had to believe you then.

-Yes, they had to believe me.

-Didn't you notice the gorilla

-was only this big?

-We assumed an Irish gorilla was

-smaller than an African gorilla...

-..because Ireland

-is so much smaller than Africa!

-When we'd got over the shock...

-..we realized

-we had a golden opportunity.

-Nobody, including Moc Daear,

-had ever captured an Irish gorilla.

-Once we were famous...

-..my parents would know

-my story about the gorilla was true!

-Are you sure the gorilla

-will want the pie?

-Do you think he likes pies?

-Everybody likes pies.

-You'd better wear this, Dwynwen.

-I'll wear the goggles.

-Look! There he is - the gorilla!

-Duck! He'll be able to smell us.

-Are you saying I'm smelly, Porchell?

-Shh!

-Now!

-Full steam ahead, Porchell!

-I know I can catch him!

-Hey! Let go of the helmet!

-The gorilla's trying to pull my head

-off my shoulders, Porchell!

-Wowee! I can see why Moc Daear

-doesn't capture Irish gorillas.

-Moc Daear is very wise.

-Moc Daear is very wise.

-

-What's that?

-Ha, ha!

-There's a fish in my trousers!

-That monkey was clever...

-..and we had to be just as clever

-if we were going to catch him.

-We came up with a brilliant plan!

-It involved

-collecting gorilla hair...

-..from a sheep!

-We thought the best way

-to catch a hairy gorilla...

-..would be

-with another hairy gorilla.

-As we didn't actually have

-another hairy gorilla...

-..we had to make one!

-You look fantastic!

-You look like the gorilla

-Moc caught.

-If I were a gorilla,

-I'd want to be your best friend.

-Porchell, it's working!

-The gorilla's coming!

-Wowee!

-Look out, Porchell!

-He's out to get you!

-I think he's laughing at you!

-Dwynwen, why is the gorilla

-pointing at me?

-Come on, gorilla! Follow me.

-I'm your friend.

-That's right, gorilla.

-Follow Porchell.

-Go on - follow Porchell!

-That's right.

-Be a good little gorilla.

-Oh, no! He's after me!

-Run, Ffyrgi! Run like the wind!

-Don't let him rip your head off!

-Don't let him rip your head off!

-

-I'm running, Dwynwen!

-Come on, Dwynwen! He's escaping!

-Come out of there, Ffyrgi.

-The gorilla's long gone.

-Are you sure?

-No. I mean yes!

-There's no gorilla here.

-I don't want to be a hunter

-any more, Porchell.

-You can't give up!

-Let's get out there

-and capture him alive.

-Why?

-Why?

-

-Well, um...

-Because he's an Irish gorilla.

-We're Irish, so it's our duty

-to catch him...

-..and to show him to our parents.

-Come on! Let's go out there

-and bring him back alive.

-Porchell! Padrig! Mali!

-It's time to come in to have supper.

-Your mother's calling you, Porchell.

-Your mother's calling you, Porchell.

-

-Oh, no!

-We'll have to capture him tomorrow.

-I'll meet you here

-at the crack of dawn.

-Maybe. I'll sleep on it.

-I'll be there.

-Dad, I saw him!

-I saw the gorilla today.

-I really did see him!

-I really did see him!

-

-Of course, Porchell.

-Go and have a wash before supper

-and tell Mam I'm on my way.

-But I did see him, Dad.

-Ffyrgi and Dwynwen saw him, too.

-Porchell, for the final time, there

-are no jungle animals in Ireland.

-No gorillas and no monkeys.

-Apart from cheeky monkeys like you!

-But Dad, there was...

-But Dad, there was...

-

-Go and have a wash, son. Go on!

-(SHE SCREAMS)

-There's a gorilla in the house!

-No, Mali. It's only Porchell.

-Oh! He's really funny.

-Yes, Mali. He's funny.

-It was more important than ever

-for me to prove to my father...

-..that a jungle animal was

-running wild on Tyddyn Llan farm.

-We worked hard and we dug a trap

-worthy of Moc Daear himself.

-We concealed the trap carefully

-with palm tree branches...

-..and we used all sorts of treats

-as a bait.

-Things like an apple tart, an egg

-sandwich, mint sweets and cabbage.

-Hold on!

-Was the hole really that deep?

-Yes, and where did you find

-palm trees in Ireland?

-You caught me, boys!

-Our trap wasn't that deep...

-..and we didn't cover it

-with palm tree branches.

-The rest of the story is true.

-The rest of the story is true.

-

-I believe you!

-Thank you, Dafydd.

-Thank you, Dafydd.

-

-What happened next?

-Did you catch the gorilla?

-Well, we covered the trap

-with Matholwch's blanket...

-..and we placed a fresh cabbage

-on it to act as bait.

-Then, we waited patiently

-for the gorilla to arrive.

-Shh!

-Oh, no! Help, he's after me!

-Oh, no! He's trapped.

-The gorilla has cornered Porchell!

-Climb out before he

-takes your head off, Porchell!

-I can't move! He's waiting for me.

-No, no, no!

-What shall we do? What shall we do?

-Let's fetch Porchell's dad.

-He'll know what to do.

-Listen! There's no such thing

-as an Irish gorilla.

-There is, Mr Pinc!

-We've seen him with our own eyes.

-You've watched too much Moc Daear.

-He's in the trap! Hurry up!

-Porchell! Are you alright?

-Porchell! Are you alright?

-

-Talk to us, Porchell!

-Please talk to us!

-Oh, no!

-What do we have here?

-He's eaten Porchell!

-I thought he'd just

-take his head off.

-He didn't eat me!

-Porchell!

-Porchell!

-

-You're in one piece!

-Yes, of course.

-I think the gorilla's hungry.

-Take these.

-He didn't want to hurt me.

-He just wanted to wear the helmet.

-I think the helmet

-belongs to the gorilla.

-Really?

-Really?

-

-Yes.

-I also think

-the gorilla is a monkey.

-A monkey?

-Where did he come from, then?

-I think he came from a circus.

-I think he came from a circus.

-

-Wowee!

-Dad was right.

-He was a monkey from a circus.

-Did the circus notice

-he'd gone missing?

-Yes, they missed him terribly.

-They gave me a reward

-for returning him.

-Was it money?

-Was it money?

-

-Was it gold?

-Boys, it was a much better reward

-than I could ever have imagined.

-The circus came to town, at last.

-Wow, wowee! This is amazing!

-Hey, look! It's a lion.

-FIERCE ROAR

-Oh, brilliant!

-Here we go again.

-That was a great story, Tadcu.

-That was a great story, Tadcu.

-

-Thank you, Sion.

-It hard to believe it,

-but that's exactly what happened.

-Does that mean you think Dafydd

-scored ten baskets in a row today...

-..although that's impossible?

-..although that's impossible?

-

-Yes, of course.

-Thank you for believing me, Tadcu.

-You're welcome.

-It's not that hard

-to believe your story.

-Doing impossible things

-runs in the family.
