[Music]

oh hello there I'm just reading a letter

here that I got from Uncle Angus MCC

Corbett he comes from Ram I'll read it

to you many people say how similar you

look to me and I agree the look runs in

the Corbett family he sent me a

photograph as well actually I must say I

can see the resemblance apart from one

glaring fact I've still got the full

head of

hair Lu luxurious thick and healthy

who's luxurious thick and healthy

Matthew you're talking about sweep again

no no no it doesn't matter it's not

important soe really it isn't oh well

that may not be important but what I

have to say is um you know you're always

telling us to wash the bath out when we

finished yes yes well you should

Practice What You Preach I've just found

your bath in a terrible State a dirty

ring around it and a plug blocked up

with with what

this what's that is that Mouse is it no

Matthew it's hair hair well who's who's

is it well I'll leave you to work that

out what look at that well it couldn't

possibly be mine could it I mean I would

notice if this had dropped off wouldn't

I oh su's here hello sweep's found a

baby hedgehog you're kidding what oh hey

look he's bringing it up look at this

he's found it just just just a minute

just a minute this isn't a baby hedgehog

this is my hairbrush I've been looking

for that for absolutely ages

[Music]

isn't it a hedgehog no it is not a

hedgehog it's a hairbrush look at it

look at it it's a hairbrush what it's

covered in little

hairs amongst the

bristles yeah all right well look that

just go and use the bathroom go on both

of you go and use the bathroom go on

actually there are one or two hairs

amongst the bristles still these can't

hold be mine can they I mean if I'd lost

all of this lot and all this had dropped

out as well that would only be one thing

it would mean that I was going

completely the look runs in the Corbett

family I'm sure Matthew doesn't mean to

be so grumpy just Le's got a few worries

right now like what well he's worried

about his his

hair why well when Matthew was born

sweet he looked rather like this

with a nice pink shiny head with no hair

at

all

then as he grew so did his

hair it got longer and

longer until when it was at his longest

it was right down to his

shoulders what it was Matthew's hair

bright red no silly Billy

what's sweet what's Matthew's problem

well sometimes with men their hair just

sort of um what it just sort of goes and

what's worrying Matthew

is he doesn't want to end

up looking like

[Music]

this well soon the boys had a long talk

she told them that she was nipping down

to the shops to get something that would

help Matthew with his little problem

which left suti free to try and help

Matthew in his own special way by making

a magic potion to put on his hair to

make it

grow suti sends sweep off for one of the

ingredients the spell requires seven

centipedes

toenails you've got it said s

now

vush luckily suti had another helper

other than sweep little cousin scampy

who just for once wasn't being naughty

he was returning with the most important

ingredient one pint of

cloud it doesn't look much like a cloud

to me but

wait well done scampy said suti now

fetch me three blue

gooseberries whilst I sprinkle in a

generous helping of oel

dust sweep's got the centipedes

toenails unfortunately they're still

attached to the

centipede ah Here Comes scampy and he's

managed to find some blue gooseberries

that's amazing said suti as he threw

them in not so amazing said cousin

scampy it's straight from a

tin he's painted them

blue ah here's Sweep with the

toenails no no I I think he may have

bitten off more than he can chew poor

old

sweep oh but look all is not lost it's

little cousin scampy to the rescue with

a pair of toenail

[Music]

clippers I've got one said scampy I've

got a clipping and he had so suti took

the

clipping and threw it into the

jar now we can say the spell said Su so

they

did Izzy wizzy Plus Nails from creepy

crawlies Let's Get Busy make a mixture

especially or

bales hey wow that seemed like pretty

powerful magic and look what it's done

to the potion said

suti it looks as if the magic worked

they just needed someone to try it on

before telling Matthew The Good

News 5 minutes later and still no

results suti had hoped that sweep's hair

would suddenly start sh**ting up still

the potion had only been on for a couple

of minutes better leave it on a bit

longer said

[Music]

[Music]

suti absolutely under detectable they'll

never see the

join oh hello just reading a silly

magazine huh hi hi Sue what have you
