0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Hey, when are we going to play today?- Hey, Wibbly!
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Hello! Ha-ha-ha!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08What are we going to see?
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Hey, Wibbly!
0:00:09 > 0:00:11- What?- Where are we going to go
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- today?- Hey, Wibbly!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- That's me!- Who are we going to be?
0:00:16 > 0:00:18- Hey, Wibbly!- Hey!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Stop, we want to talk to you!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- Hey, Wibbly!- I'm here! Oh, are we playing hide-and-seek?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27- Hey, Wibbly!- Wee-hee!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Where's Wibbly?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Ah, a piece of string.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Maybe Wibbly's at the end of it!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Wibbly, have you seen this string?
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Hiya, Wibbly!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hiya!
0:00:45 > 0:00:46What is it?
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- String!- I know that! Ha-ha!
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I mean, what are you thinking?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm thinking, "Where has this string come from,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58"and where does it go?"
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Well, we could find out.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We could follow it!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04What a great idea!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I can wind it all up as we go.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Oh, what's that?- What's what? - That knot.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15What knot?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Ha-ha! Stop teasing, Wibbly!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20That knot in the string.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Sorry! It's where two bits of string have been joined together.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27You tie them with a knot. Look.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The string is hairy here
0:01:29 > 0:01:30and smooth here.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34There's another knot!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37KNOT another! Ha-ha!
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Look, it's tied to another bit of hairy string.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44There might be lots of different types of string knotted together.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Let's see where it goes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- It's going all over the place, Wibbly.- I know!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59And look,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01it's going outside.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09It's very, very long!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13And that ball you're winding is getting very, very big!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Where's it going now?!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Someone's using the string as a washing line.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45But I can't wind all that washing into my ball of string!
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Hmm, I wonder if we could...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Oh, look, that knot!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- What knot?- There!
0:02:54 > 0:02:59You can undo the knots, leave the washing line and carry on winding.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01That might work!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- There!- We can carry on now.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Here goes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Blue, blue, blue,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- blue.- What are you doing, Wibbly?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22All the string keeps changing colour.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm just saying what the string is like.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Look, the string is blue here...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28and red there.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Red, red, red,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31red, red.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's yellow now!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- BOTH:- Yellow, yellow,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37yellow, yellow!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Oh, the string has gone...
0:03:40 > 0:03:41sparkly.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Sparkly!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Sparkly!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48That bit looks hairy!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Hairy!
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Hairy!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Hairy! Hairy!
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Hairy!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Ha-ha! I never knew there were so many different types of string!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Whoa!
0:04:02 > 0:04:03What happened?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I don't know.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Something pulled me.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Whoa...!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10It works! It works! >
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Who's that?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13I don't know.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Let's see.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- I knew it would work. - I- am a clever clown,
0:04:20 > 0:04:21a very clever clown.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24In fact, I'd go as far as to say...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I am a very, very clever clown.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Oh.- Ha-ha! GIGGLING
0:04:30 > 0:04:33You've taken my belt!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Your belt?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I was using that string as my belt.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I knew it would hold my trousers up,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- and it did. - I- am a very clever clown.- Ha-ha-ha!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Are your trousers too big?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Of course they are,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- they're clown trousers!- Ha-ha-ha!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Would you like some of THIS string for your belt?- Well...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56it's long enough.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- And... - GIGGLING
0:05:00 > 0:05:03..it's tough enough.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06And...it's red enough.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Yes.- So, would you like some?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Ooh, yes, please. That would be lovely.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16OK, I just need to undo a couple of knots.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18For me?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Quick, tie your trousers up!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Sorry!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I never thought of a string belt!
0:05:29 > 0:05:30It works!
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I really am a very, very, very clever clown.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Look, no hands!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Thank you.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38You're welcome.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45String gets used for all sorts of things.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Yes, but I can't carry this ball much longer, it's getting too big.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Why don't you roll it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Great idea!
0:05:59 > 0:06:03The string looks like a big fat snake now.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Yeah. And it's getting heavier...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08and heavier to push!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I wonder what the thick string is for.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Hiya, Tiny Pig!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Hello, Wibbly.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21What are you doing with that wood, Tiny Pig?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well, I wanted to make a swing
0:06:24 > 0:06:25in this tree,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28but all I've got is the seat.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It doesn't work on its own.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34What else do you need?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I need some rope to hold it up,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39so I can swing.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44I love swinging! As long as it's not too high.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Wibbly, what about that fat string?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49What?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh. Oh, yes.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Tiny Pig, would this do?- Hmm...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Well, it's thick enough.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58And...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00strong enough.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03And...swingy enough!
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- I think it might work!- Let's try it!
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- Wibbly, it's another thing for string!- I know!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Careful, Tiny Pig!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's OK, I'm very good at knots.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- ALL:- Hooray, it works!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Thank you, Wibbly.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42That's OK.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Now, where does the rest of the string go?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Keep winding, Wibbly!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00So, we've had washing line string and trouser belt string...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And big fat swing string.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Wibbly, can you hear that? CLICKING
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Yes, I can. I wonder what it is!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Another thing along this string! Ha-ha!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Look, the string has gone funny colours again.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Yellow and fat, thin and silvery,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24blue and hairy,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26red and fluffy,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- multi-coloured now! - THEY BOTH GIGGLE
0:08:29 > 0:08:33What IS that noise?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I think the answer will be at the end of this piece of string.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Aunt Larlie!
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Ooh! Oh, Wibbly Pig, how are you, dear?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Look!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51We found a great big ball of string!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Wibbly has wound it all up.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Oh, Wibbly, you have found my collection of bits and bobs.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Bits and bobs?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Yes. Every time I find a little bit of string,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08I tie a little knot and wind it up. Earlier on today,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12the ball rolled away and unravelled itself.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16You saved me the job of winding it all back up again!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18There were all sorts of people using the string
0:09:18 > 0:09:23for all sorts of things. What do you use it for, Aunt Larlie?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Knitting. What do you think, Wibbly?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's your new woolly jumper!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, er...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Thanks. It's, er...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I think we'd better go!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Bye, Wibbly!- Bye!
