(sand sifting)

(cork popping)

- [Corky] We're going to have a great day today, Bill.

- [Bill] Too right, Corky.

- [Corky] It's my favorite day of the year!

- [Bill] Mine, too!

Because it's the day we all go for a beach picnic.

I've already packed our picnic lunch, Bill.

Good work, Corky.

It looks delicious!

What else should we take with us?

Mm, now let me think.

We need deck chairs, and beach games, of course.

Good thinking!

I love playing games at the beach.

A beach umbrella to shade us from the sun!

We can't forget a bucket and spade to make sandcastles.

- [Corky] Or a fishing net for the rock pools.

Great idea!

Is there anything else we might need?

We mustn't forget suncream and sunhats, Bill.

You're right there, Corky.

Now we're packed and ready to go.

Beach picnic, here we come!

Who else is coming, Bill?

Everybody, Corky.

Where're we meeting them?

At the railway station.

Everyone's traveling by train, just like we do every year.

Great!

I love the train ride to the beach.

Me, too.

Old Lightning gets us there every time!

I hope Old Lightning can carry everything.

Old Lightning has never let us down in the past,

and he never will in the future.

We should be the station any minute now.

- [Corky] That's good.

I'll need a rest from carrying everything.

It's starting to feel heavy.

- [Bill] We'll load our luggage onboard the train.

Then we can relax and enjoy the ride.

- [Corky] Hello, everyone!

Hidey hodey!

- [Friends] Hidey hodey!

Are we the first ones here, then?

First, as always, Bill.

Ready for the journey, Cedric?

Oh, yes!

But the same, unfortunately, cannot be said about the train.

Why not?

It's not here.

Old Lightning hasn't turned up.

It's completely missing.

- [All] Missing?

Blow me down!

Old Lightning's always on time.

What could've happened to it?

Maybe it's broken.

Or it could be getting cleaned.

No, I'm afraid we have to face the truth.

What truth, Ms. Blossom?

Old Lightning is getting rather old.

Poor Old Lightning.

The beach picnic won't be the same without him.

So what're we going to do now?

There's only one thing we can do.

We'll have to find another way to go to the beach.

Another way, indeed.

We could all catch the bus.

There's a bus stop just outside the station.

Good idea!

When's the next bus due?

At o'clock.

o'clock?

That's not for ages!

We want to get to the beach way before then!

Too right.

The bus will do me.

See you at the beach.

Have a nice trip.

How can we get there quickly, Bill?

You can come with me on my tractor.

That'd be great!

I love riding on tractors!

There's room for both of you

and plenty of space for luggage on the trailer.

Thanks, Sam.

That's a very kind offer.

I'll get her ready to go.

Look, Bill, here's more people.

- [Bill] It's Peter the Plumber, and Bob!

- [Corky] And Mazy the Cow.

Mazy's very excited.

She can't wait for the train ride to start.

(mooing)

Sorry, Mazy, there's been a change of plan.

Old Lightning isn't running today.

Oh no!

(Mazy moaning disappointedly)

So we need to find other ways to get to the beach.

We could catch the bus, I suppose.

Are cows allowed to travel on buses?

Mm, I don't think they are.

(Mazy mooing)

It's all right, Mazy, we'll find a way to get you there!

I know!

You can go with Sam on his tractor.

Mazy can travel on the trailer with Wag!

(Wag barking)

Great idea, Bill!

(tractor humming)

All aboard who's coming aboard.

- [Mazy] Mm!

See you at the beach, Bill!

(Wag barking)

See ya there!

I'm glad we found a way for Mazy to get to the beach;

but how will we get there?

I'm not sure yet.

(lorry humming)

Listen.

Something's coming.

(lorry humming)

It's Cedric.

He's gone and got his lorry!

Jump aboard, people.

There's plenty of room in the back.

- [Both] Thanks, Cedric!

We're on our way now, Corky!

I can almost smell the sea air, Bill.

We've just heard the news!

The children are so upset!

(children sobbing)

They've been looking forward to this trip all year.

Now we have no way of getting to the beach!

Ya have now.

You can come with us in Cedric's lorry!

Are you sure there's enough room, Bill?

Yes, plenty!

There's room for everyone.

- [Children] Hurray!

(tailgate thudding)

Ah, thank you, Bill!

(suitcase clanging)

Ya see, Corky, there's enough room left for us.

Come on, Jojo, keep up!

I'm coming!

Hello, Jankasaurs!

Bill, Corky, I hope we haven't missed the train!

Sorry, Jojo, the train's not going.

Not going?

You're very welcome to come in my truck.

Can we?

That'd be great!

- [Cedric] Jump aboard!

(metal hull clanking)

Are you coming, too, Bill and Corky?

Uh, not anymore.

Don't worry, we'll find another way!

- [Cedric] Off we go, everyone.

Goodbye!

Have a nice trip!

See ya there!

Oh no, I've just remembered!

All our stuff is on that lorry, including our picnic!

Don't worry, Corky.

We can use our scooter to get us there.

- [Corky] Great idea, Bill.

- [Bill] This'll get us there in no time at all!

And very comfortably, too!

We've just heard the news about poor Old Lightning.

We can't get to the beach now!

Do you think we'd all fit on our scooter, Corky?

I suppose we could try.

You'll have to leave your fishing net here, Ned.

(net stretching)

- [Ned] It's stuck on something!

(net popping free)

(scooter engine rumbling)

Do ya think they'll make it to the beach, Bill?

Yes, I'm sure they'll be there very soon.

Perhaps we should forget land travel, Bill.

Let's think air travel.

- [Bill] Air travel?

- [Corky] An airplane will get us

to the beach faster than anything.

Time to fly!

Bill, Corky, I'm so glad you're here.

I can't take my car to the beach; it's got a flat tire.

Perhaps I could borrow your airplane.

Of course.

Be our guest, Mrs. Whistlehead.

Thank you both.

I'll save you a nice spot on the beach!

Come along, Timmy!

Hidey hodey!

(Timmy barking)

- [Corky] Have a nice trip.

- [Bill] We'll see ya there.

(airplane engine rumbling)

Any more ideas, Corky?

Actually, Bill, I have!

I dunno why we didn't think of it earlier.

It's one of the nicest ways of all to travel,

by hot air balloon!

(chuckling) Now you're talking!

All aboard, Bill!

Right!

- [Bill & Corky] Huh?

Hidey hodey!

Up, up, and away!

See you at the beach!

If we ever get there.

See you!

What're we going to do now, Bill?

There's only one thing left that I can think of.

It'll be a bit of a squeeze, but it's better than nothing.

This is no time to be fussy.

(sheep bleating)

- [Bill & Corky] Oh!

It's the great Wile Wooly!

Where did he come from?

I don't know, Bill, but I think I know where he's going.

(Wooly bleating)

I don't believe it!

That sneaky sheep's beaten us again.

Ooh!

He makes me hopping mad, he does.

- [Corky] Bill, look at the time!

I know!

We've spent all morning here when we should've

been relaxing on the beach.

No, I mean, look at the time.

(clock chiming)

It's o'clock, midday.

Midday!

(bus engine humming)

- [Bill & Corky] The bus!

Quick, Bill!

That's a very long queue, Bill.

- [Bill] It looks like everyone's decided to take the bus.

I hope there's enough room for us.

- [Bill] So do I, Corky.

Wait there, please.

Oh, no!

Bus is full!

Room for two more.

Yes!

We're in luck, Corky.

Fares, please.

Fares?

Do you have any money, Bill?

No.

Don't you have any?

(bus engine humming)

That's it, we're never going to get to the beach.

I was so looking forward to paddling in the sea.

Wait a minute, Bill.

We could be paddling sooner than you think.

How come?

What's that over there?

- [Bill] That's a boat!

A boat on a river!

- [Corky] Exactly!

But it's not much good to us, is it?

Think, Bill.

What about?

Where do all rivers lead?

To, the sea!

You've got it!

Sea travel, Corky.

It's the only way to go.

Hidey hodey!

(boat engine humming)

- [Bill] We've made it!

Let's go and meet everyone.

Right you are, Bill.

(boat engine humming)

- [Bill] Hidey hodey!

We're here at last!

Hang on.

There's something strange here.

Where's everybody else?

There's something even stranger, Bill.

Look!

(train horn tooting)

- [Bill & Corky] Old Lightning!

What's the train doing here?

Hidey hodey!

Lovely day for a picnic, don't ya think?

I don't understand, Mr. Puffer.

How did you and Old Lightning get here?

Same way as always: by rail!

We thought Old Lightning was broken down.

(chuckling) Never.

Old Lightning's as good as new!

Sorry if we caused you trouble.

We left early to get a get spot on the beach.

We're sorry, too, for wanting Old Lightning

to carry everyone all the way here.

Yes.

Old Lightning works hard all year.

He deserves a day off, just like everyone else.

(laughing) Look, Corky!

Everyone's here, after all!

- [All] Hidey hodey!

- [Bill] And I can smell something delicious!

- [Corky] Mm!

What is it?

- [Bill] A barbecue!

That's Old Lightning's special surprise.

As we had plenty of room this year,

we could bring something for everyone to enjoy!

- [Bill & Corky] Fantastic!

This is going to be a beach picnic to remember, Bill!

(laughing) When you're right, Corky, you're right.

What about a nice walk in the country, Corky?

- [Corky] It's very chilly outside, Bill.

- [Bill] But if we walk fast, we'll get nice and warm.

- [Corky] And will we have an adventure?

- [Bill] You bet, Corky.

It's called Mrs. Whistlehead's Surprise!

- [Corky] Brr.

I'm so cold, Bill.

- [Bill] It is a bit brisk, all right.

- [Corky] Look at the trees!

They're covered in bright red berries!

- [Bill] That's a sign that winter will be really cold.

Brr!

I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

I am.

Just think of all the fun we can have in the snow.

Snowmen, snowballs.

I can't wait!

It's the cold I don't like, Bill.

It makes my knees knock together.

Don't worry, Corky.

Lots of exercise will keep ya warm.

Then you and your knees will be fine and dandy.

- [Corky] I hope the animals

on Mrs. Whistlehead's farm aren't cold.

- [Bill] We'll soon find out, Corky.

Here's the sheep paddock.

- [Corky] The sheep look happy enough.

- [Bill] Yes.

The cold weather doesn't seem to bother them at all.

And I can see why.

Look what they're wearing!

Paint me pink!

Legwarmers!

- [Corky] Aren't they fantastic!

I'd love some of those!

Hello, Bill.

Hello, Corky.

- [Bill & Corky] Hello, Mrs. Whistlehead.

Isn't it cold?

Freezing!

But I love those legwarmers your sheep are wearing.

Where did ya get them?

I knitted them myself.

See?

Would you knit some for me, too?

I'm afraid I can't, Corky.

Oh.

I've had to stop knitting.

It's just too cold.

My fingers are so stiff I can't guide the needles properly.

That's no good, Mrs. Whistlehead.

It isn't, because not all the sheep have legwarmers yet.

Poor things are so cold!

Why don't ya go in your house to knit?

It's lovely and warm in there.

It's too dark to knit indoors.

Too dark, Mrs. Whistlehead?

My table lamp is broken, Bill.

So when I knit, my eyes get sore trying to see properly.

Perhaps it's time I got a pair of glasses.

Maybe.

But right now you should go inside and get yourself warm.

What about the sheep?

Don't worry.

We'll find a way to keep them warm.

You go inside, Mrs. Whistlehead.

All right.

Thank you.

I will.

(sheep bleating)

How're we going to keep the sheep warm, Bill?

Easy!

We'll knit some legwarmers for them ourselves.

Right!

You can knit, can't ya, Corky?

No.

Can you?

Uh, no, not really.

Then I think we need another idea, Bill.

I don't know that I've got one, Corky.

Have you?

No.

Hang on.

Yes, I have!

What is it?

We could go and buy Mrs. Whistlehead a new lamp!

A new lamp?

Then she'll be able to knit inside her house

and stay warm.

Brilliant, Corky!

And it will be a wonderful surprise!

Let's go!

- [Bill] Where should we go to buy the lamp, Corky?

- [Corky] We'll have to go into town.

- [Bill] But how will we get into town?

- [Corky] Why don't we take the bus?

- [Bill] Good idea!

- [Corky] This'll get us into town in no time at all, Bill.

- [Bill] Spot on, Corky.

There are lots of shops in the mall.

- [Corky] And they each sell different things.

How will we find the shop we want?

- [Bill] No problem, Corky.

I know exactly how to find them.

All we have to do is look on the map.

That'll tell us where lamp shop is.

- [Corky] Right again, Bill.

- [Both] Hmm.

Can ya see it, Corky?

There!

That's the shop we need!

Larry's Lights & Lamps.

Sounds perfect!

It's on the third floor.

Great!

Let's take the lift!

Do you know how to work this lift, Bill?

Just press the button that says number three.

OK, here goes.

(elevator bell dinging)

- [Bill] Here we are!

Now, where's Larry's Lamps & Lights?

I see it, Corky!

Follow me.

Larry sells just about every kind of lamp you can think of.

- [Corky] Wow!

I've never seen so many.

- [Bill] I'm sure we'll find the right one

for Mrs. Whistlehead.

Welcome, welcome!

And how may I help you today, my friends?

We've come to buy a new lamp.

Then you've come to the right place.

We have bed lamps, table lamps, wall lamps,

frilly lamps, and silly lamps.

You name it, we have it.

That's a lot of lamps, Larry.

So what exactly are you looking for?

Um, we're not quite sure.

Don't worry!

Have a look around.

I'm sure you'll find something.

I'm confused, Corky.

There're so many different kinds of lamps to choose from.

Which one shall we get?

We've got to remember that we're

buying this for Mrs. Whistlehead.

Which lamp would she like?

You're right.

Which lamp would she like?

How 'bout this one, Corky?

It's nice, Bill, but will it be bright enough?

Hmm.

This one looks really bright.

Hmm, I'm not sure Mrs. Whistlehead

would like that one, Bill.

Do ya think she'll like this one, Corky?

I don't think she'll like it, Bill.

I think she'll love it!

So do I!

This is the one.

The perfect choice, if I do say so myself.

Would you like it delivered?

No, thank you.

We'll take it right away.

As you wish.

Here we are.

Perfect.

Thank you!

Goodbye!

Good luck!

I think we've made the right choice here, Corky.

Me, too, Bill.

Mrs. Whistlehead is going to get a great surprise!

(chuckling) I can't wait to see her face.

- [Corky] Oh no, Bill!

Look who's here!

Mrs. Whistlehead!

We can't let her see us; it'll spoil the surprise.

Quick, back in the shop!

Phew!

That was close!

What's she doing here at the shopping mall?

I don't know.

Perhaps she's coming to buy a pair of glasses.

Glasses?

For her eyes.

Oh, yes, of course!

That'll be it, Corky.

Do you think we'll be able

to leave here without being seen?

We can do it.

We just have to be careful.

Right!

- [Bill] Is the coast clear now?

Yes.

She's gone.

We should take the escalator this time.

Then let's go!

We'll be out of here in no time.

But keep your eyes and ears open, Corky.

I'm watching, Bill.

I think we're safe now.

(elevator bell dinging)

Oh no we're not!

Here she comes!

Hide!

(footsteps ticking)

Do ya think she saw us?

I don't think so.

Phew!

That was close!

Too right!

I don't think we should use the escalator anymore, Bill.

It's too risky!

I agree, Corky.

Let's use the lift instead.

It's a bit of a squeeze, Bill.

Are you ready to go, Corky?

Yes.

Why aren't we moving?

Someone needs to press the button.

I can't reach it; can you?

I'll try.

(arm stretching)

Ground floor, got it! (elevator bell dinging)

(elevator bell dinging)

Hang on.

Why have we stopped?

This is the first floor, not the ground floor.

Someone else must've called the lift.

Oh no!

What if it's Mrs. Whistlehead?

No one's here.

Good.

Press the button again, Corky.

Oh no!

Here she comes again!

Quick, Corky, press the button!

(arm stretching) I can't reach it!

What can we do?

Here goes nothing!

(elevator bell dinging)

(elevator bell dinging)

- [Both] Ah!

It is definitely time to leave!

I can see the way out, Bill.

Over there!

- [Bill] I'm with you, Corky.

Wait!

Here she comes again!

Now what do we do?

Behind the bins, Bill!

We forgot the lamp!

- [Corky] Nothing we can do about it now.

What a lovely lamp!

Drat!

She's seen the lamp.

But at least we know she likes it.

I think she's gone, Bill.

Now's our chance.

Yes, we made it!

- [Bill] And there's the bus.

- [Corky] It's about to go, Bill!

Run!

- [Corky] That was a close shave, Bill.

- [Bill] Now we just have to hope we get back

to the farm before Mrs. Whistlehead.

- [Corky] Where should we put the lamp, Bill?

- [Bill] I think the best place would be in her lounge room.

- [Corky] Yes!

We can put it just beside her favorite chair.

- [Bill] That's it, Corky, perfect!

Quick, Corky, we don't have much time.

I really hope she likes it.

(horn tooting)

That sounds like her now.

So I guess we're about to find out.

(box sliding)

Hello, Bill.

Hello, Corky.

I've got something to show you.

And we've got something to show you.

- [Both] Surprise!

Oh, my, a new lamp!

So you like it?

Like it?

I love it!

Thank you so much!

Now you'll have enough light to knit and stay warm.

Actually, I won't be doing anymore knitting.

No more knitting?

Is there a problem with your eyes?

Not at all.

I went to town and had them tested.

My eyesight is perfect.

Then why won't you do anymore knitting?

While I was at the shops, I bought this!

- [Corky] What is it?

It's a knitting machine.

- [Bill & Corky] A knitting machine?

Yes!

I won't be knitting anymore because

this is going to do all the knitting for me.

- [Corky] That's brilliant!

How does it work?

The lady in the shop set it up for me.

All I need to do is turn it on.

There's a little button somewhere.

Hang on, I'll turn on the lamp.

Perfect!

Now I see it.

(knitting machine rumbling)

Wow, it's knitting all by itself!

(button vibrating)

Will ya look at that?

- [Corky] A perfect legwarmer!

The sheep are going to love these.

Isn't it super?

Now all the sheep will have legwarmers for the winter.

Um, I don't suppose this machine

could knit legwarmers for horses, too?

It can, indeed, Corky.

And it'll make some especially for you.

Fantastic!

(knitting machine rumbling)

- [Bill] It's nice to get back to our own warm house,

isn't it, Corky?

- [Corky] Yes, it is, Bill.

There's no place like home.

- [Bill] You're so right.

Are you comfortable there, Bill?

I am, Corky.

I'm enjoying a rest.

It's been quite a day.

A day full of surprises.

It's sure been that, Corky.

And it's not over yet!

Eh?

What do ya mean?

Come and have a look out the window.

(gasping) It's snowing!

That's the best surprise of all!

Let's go out and build a snowman!

Great idea!

Don't forget to wrap up nice and warm, Corky.

You don't want your knees to start knocking.

No worries there, Bill.

I think these will do the job nicely, don't you?

(chuckling) When you're right, Corky, you're right.
