Tom, you're back! Oh, look, we're now underneath an arch.

There you go, the last arch.

Now, Miss Mouse, can you tell us what you're up to?

-Chris, I need one more arch.

-I'm very sorry, but I'm all out of arches.

Oh. Up...and over...

Come on, this way. And you, Tom.

Ooh-ooh!

Ooh-ooh!

THEY LAUGH

OK.

Ta-da! An arch!

-Perfect.

-Now, would you mind telling us what you're up to, Miss Mouse?

Yes, this is my new game. Do tell, Pui.

Right, OK, you're with Tom, I'm with Teddington,

and the first team to get the balls through the arches

and all the way back to Miss Mouse is the winner!

-Oh, OK.

-Ready, steady, go!

-I'm in the lead!

-Yes, you are, Tom.

You've got to get the ball through a very narrow arch.

Through the arch!

Oh, very good.

Away we go, Teddington. Oh, yes!

Through the arch!

One big arch over here. Go on, you can do it, Tom.

Through the arch!

Listen! The counting cobbles.

Sorry, Tom, I'll have to leave you there. I'll be back in a minute.

I wonder who we'll meet today. Count along with me. Ready?

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8,

9... One big jump...

-..10!

-Attention!

-It's the old Duke!

-Hrrmph!

-I mean, the Grand Old Duke of York.

-That's better!

Join in with his rhyme.

# Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York, he had 10,000 men.

# He marched them up to the top of the hill

# Then he marched them down again

-# And when they were up they were up.

-Up!

-# And when they were down they were down.

-Down!

-# And when they were only halfway up...

-Help!

# They were neither up nor down. #

-Where are you off to, old Duke?

-To my arch.

I'm going to march through my arch.

-Your arch!

-It is the grandest arch in the land.

Is this your grand old arch? Look at it, it's wonderful.

Oh, it really is brilliant.

No, follow me.

Is this your arch?

No, follow me.

-Here's my arch.

-Where?

-There.

-Where?

-There!

-Oh, there!

-It's the grandest arch in all the land.

-Well, yes, it's very grand.

-It's just a shame it's too low for you to march through.

-Nonsense!

-Left, right, left, right.

-Watch out, Grand Old Duke of York!

Mind your hat!

Oh! There's your hat, Grand Old Duke.

It's a bit squashed, but you still look grand. Must go. Bye.

Up!

Very good!

Come on, Tom, you're doing really well. There we are.

Through this arch. Through the arch!

One more arch.

Teddington, we might just beat them to it. Through the arch!

Oh!

Tom and Chris, you are the winners.

-Thank you!

-Well done, Chris. Well done, Tom.

-Thank you, Pui.

-I'm sorry, Teddington.

-Oh, don't mind me.

I could play this game all day.

-Very well.

-Through the arch...

And another kick, Teddington.

Kick!

Look, this is a very special arch.

It's a bridge.

For a narrowboat.

-"SHOW ME" JINGLE

-Oh, listen!

Somebody wants a Show Me.

Show me, show me a narrowboat.

-Narrowboat.

-Narrowboats pootle down the canal.

Oh, look! A token.

Come on.

Narrowboats!

Narrowboats pootle down the canal.

Narrowboats chug gently along.

Over the arches...

..and under the bridges.

Narrowboats pootle.

-Narrowboats!

-I like the sound of all that pootling.

Me too, Teddington. Would you like to go on a narrowboat holiday?

Oh, yes! How marvellous!

-Come on!

-Hold on a second, Pui.

-To go on a narrowboat holiday we need a narrowboat!

-Ah-ha!

Narrowboat! Narrowboat...

..pootle down the canal.

Narrowboats chug gently along.

-Narrowboat colours.

-Oh, yes.

Red...

Green...

Yellow...

Blue.

Flowers on top.

And wellies too.

Narrowboat cabin!

-It's like a house inside.

-There's a kitchen.

And beds. But it's not very wide.

Narrowboat chugs gently along.

Narrowboats pootle down the canal.

Your turn. Show me, show me narrowboats.

A narrowboat!

They are tied up so they can't float away.

I've seen a green and red one with lots of green and lots of windows.

I went on holiday on one.

Narrowboats have a rudder to steer like this.

-Narrowboats travel along canals.

-They float on the water.

I went for a walk on the canal. I saw a narrowboat.

ELEPHANTS TRUMPET

COW MOOS

There's a roof in case you fall in.

You can sleep in it. You can do everything in a narrowboat.

OWL HOOTS

-Thank you. You showed me.

-And me. Miss Mouse, you've been so busy.

How beautiful this narrowboat looks.

-All aboard!

-Yes, come on, everyone. Onto the narrowboat.

It's about to set sail

and we don't want to miss our narrowboat holiday.

Oh... This is so lovely and peaceful.

Floating along the canal in our narrowboat.

# Narrowboat, float, float, float

# Narrowboat, float all the day all the day

# Narrowboat, float, float, float

# Narrowboat, float all the day all the day. #

So peaceful.

Pui! We've forgotten Tom!

Don't worry, Tom said he'd catch us up on his scooter. Here he comes.

There you are, Tom.

Fortunately, the narrowboat goes so slowly you were able to catch us up.

That's it, climb aboard. And now we can chug along the canal.

# Narrowboat chug, chug, chug

# Narrowboat, chug all the day all the day

# Narrowboat, chug, chug, chug

# Narrowboat, chug all the day all the day. #

It's so peaceful.

-Quack quack quack!

-What's all that noise, Stuffy?

-I'm just quacking at all the ducks on the canal.

-Oh, yes, look.

There are ducks floating on the canal.

And look at the clouds floating in the sky.

Puffs of cloud high in the sky.

What can you see, floating by?

A pancake!

Flip!

Fly.

Across the sky.

Leap!

Float.

On a creamy boat.

Dip!

Shake.

Mmmm! Pancake.

Puffs of cloud high in the sky, wonderful things floating by.

Ah, our gentle narrowboat is the perfect place to watch clouds,

isn't it, Chris?

Chris?

-Where are you?

-Hello, Pui.

Miss Mouse and I are just going for a jog along the canal towpath.

Keep those legs moving, Miss Mouse. Off we go to the bridge.

-Wait for me!

-Nearly there. Yes!

Up and over...and back down low.

-Through the arch I go.

-We looked at arches earlier.

-It was a really good arch.

-Here I go again. Up, up, and over...

and back down low.

You be an arch today.

Up, up, and over... and back down low.

-TRAIN WHISTLE TOOTS

-Listen. There's your lift.

Thanks for coming out to play with us today. Come back soon.

Get your worms ready.

Ten worms wriggling,

waving goodbye.
