[rustling sound]

- Check out my cowboy hat! - And my top hat!

- How do you do? - [giggles]

It's supposed to be a sun-hat.

[giggles] It's lovely, Lofty.

- It's Very pretty! - [giggles]

Oh! Just time for a nice sit down.

Now, where's my newspaper?

-Oh. -[bell ringing]

A customer!

Yeeee-haw!

Oh hello! [chuckles]

Hi Harriet. And what can we clean for you...

[clanking sound]

today...?

Hi. Sorry. Can't stop. News to report,

stories to find, clothes to wash! Deadlines!

What sort of stories?

Can't explain. No time!

Oh go on then.

News Reporters like me find out what's happening in town...

and write about it in the newspaper!

It's all happening! Local news! Sports results!

Celebrity gossip!

Wow!

I rather like the crossword. [chuckles]

Let's get that outfit cleaned for you.

[music plays]

Cheerio! Deadlines... deadlines!

We'll take it to Suds, Mum!

Hello, what's the news today? [laughs]

It's Harriet's news reporter's outfit, Suds!

Interesting. I detect ink,

and coffee. Lots of coffee!

[laughs]

Suds! Do you have any spare....

News reporters outfits? Let me see what I can do.

[music plays]

[bubbling]

[whooshing sound]

Wow.

We're news reporters!

A voice recorder. - Smile for the camera.

- [zoom] - Oh, nice.

Deadlines! Deadlines! What am I going to do?!

[footsteps]

What's the problem, Harriet?

I need a story for the front page...

but I can't leave my desk.

Too much to do! I have to plan the paper,

write the crossword, fill the printer with ink DEADLINES!!

- We'll do it! - You?

Oh. You do look like reporters.

Can you find me a story that's EXCITING!

And SURPRISING! And DRAMATIC!

Does it need to be all three of those things?

Of course! That's what the readers

of the Milotown Gazette expect.

Leave it to us, Harriet!

Excellent news. We print at FOUR O'CLOCK! Don't let me down!

We won't!

Remember to think like reporters!

Sometimes the best stories are right under your nose!

Hmmm...

Let's go!

[music plays]

[music plays]

[Chef Pierre] Yes, wonderful!

[all] News!

We're reporters from the Milotown Gazette, Chef Pierre.

Can you tell our readers what all the excitement is about.

Of course! Just look at this pie!

Isn't it spectacular?

It looks nice. But what's so special about it?

Nothing! It is just a humble apple pie!

Then why are you so excited?

Because a simple pie is the most perfect kind of pie.

Muah!

Hold up the pie and give me a smile...

-[clicking sound] -A bigger smile....

Now let's try a thoughtful pose.

- Oh nice. - [clicking sound]

A simple pie isn't very dramatic.

We need to find some REAL news! Sorry, Chef Pierre!

Would you like a slice before you go?

Oh yes please....

Woo!

Suit yourself.

[music plays]

[music plays]

Look! That must be news!!

♪ You can take your glitz... You can keep your glamour... ♪

♪ I'm just happy with my trusty SPANNER! ♪

-[cheering] -[applause]

[birds chirping]

Hi Dave, we're reporters from the Milotown Gazette.

Can you tell us what's happening?

I'm busking! Just playing a few songs for passers-by.

Tell us more.

I'm here every week. Same place, same time, same song -

"Dave's Favourite Spanner".

Oh that doesn't sound very unusual or surprising.

[chirpy chuckle] Not very!

Do you wanna hear it from the top?

[sighs] No thanks, Dave.

It's just not enough for Harriet's front page!

Time's nearly up, Milo!

[fire engine siren chirping]

Follow that story.

[fire engine stops]

Can you tell our readers what's happening, Chief Tyrone?

What are you doing with that ladder? And why?

Sure thing, Milo.

I'm in the middle of an exciting and dangerous RESCUE MISSION!

Yes! That's A-MAZE-ING!! Who are you rescuing?

The question is WHAT am I rescuing?

And the answer is... THAT football!

Aw. I was just hoping it would be something exciting...

- or surprising... - Or dramatic.

All three if possible!

[sighs] What kind of reporters

can't even find a single front page news story...!

[struggles]

[squeaking]

[struggles]

[in pain] My foot stuck.

Help?

Help! Help!

Mmmm... Milo

We need to get back to Harriet, Milo! The deadline!

MILO!

What is it, Lofty.

[scoffs] What's wrong, Chief Tyrone?

My foot is slightly stuck.

Any chance you could, um, help me down?

No problem Chief Tyrone.

- Don't Go anywhere. - I'll try not to.

Let's help him down with... the fire engine!

I'll do the lifting...

[whooshing sound]

I'll do the rescuing!

I'll do the photographing.

Take me up Lark.

[whooshing sound]

[struggling]

[music plays]

- Thank you, Milo. - No problem, Chief!

[fire engine siren chirping]

Oh, we've got to go and show Harriet

our really Unexciting news stories.

Let's see these stories:

LOCAL CHEF MAKES ORDINARY APPLE PIE...

BUSKER PLAYS USUAL SONG AT USUAL PLACE....

FOOTBALL STUCK IN TREE....

We couldn't find anything

exciting, surprising or dramatic...

Sorry, Harriet.

At least Milo got to ride on a fire engine crane...

Let me see that!

Oh that was nothing.

We just rescued Chief Tyrone when he was stuck up a tree.

It's not nothing.

Who ever heard of a Firefighter being rescued from a tree....

By a News Reporter! It's EXCITING!

And SURPRISING! And... and... DRAMATIC!

- All three?? - All three!!

The perfect front page! Come on!

We've got a paper to print!

Yes!

READ ALL ABOUT IT! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

DRAMA IN THE PARK!! HEROIC REPORTERS SAVE THE DAY!!

FIREFIGHTER RESCUED FROM TREE!!

[scratching sound]

The newspapers do like to exaggerate.

Thanks again Milo!

This is our most popular paper EVER!

WHOOO-HOOOOO!

[laughs]

Ah welcome home! And did my little newshounds have fun?

Oh Suds! It was brilliant!

We had to find a story for the front page...

And we looked everywhere...

but nothing was exciting enough...

We rescued a firefighter and became the news story!

Well that IS good news!

When I grow up, I think it would be AMAZING to be a....

News Reporter!
