00:00Not the shrinking cat, Grandpa!
00:06Catch me if you can!
00:11Thanks, Grandpa!
00:30It was an exciting day at the Mill on the Marsh, because Jemima was home from college,
00:54making costumes for Miss Smiley's summer show.
00:57What do you think, Mum?
00:59Oh, it's beautiful, Jemima!
01:01Just then, Uncle CJ arrived home.
01:03Right, that's Grandpa settled in the cafe with his mates.
01:05And Grandpa was having a great time at his Young at Hearts club.
01:09Can't wait for your summer show tonight, Miss Smiley.
01:12I hope I'm ready in time.
01:14And we've got a guest of honour, remember?
01:16Oh yes, you'll never guess who's going to be in the audience.
01:19He's staying at the Mill.
01:21Yes, there was a new guest staying at the Mill.
01:23And he was Cheery Charlie Chickster!
01:26Only, he didn't seem very cheery.
01:29You don't look very cheery, Charlie.
01:31Well, it's just being back in Sunny Sands, you know, where I used to perform when I was young.
01:37Singing and dancing at the theatre and on the pier.
01:40Grandma says that people came from miles around to see you.
01:43Those were the days.
01:45But it's all over, you see.
01:49Now I've just come back to Sunny Sands to sit in the audience and watch.
01:54But Sunny Sands is so pleased to have you back.
01:57Really?
01:58Oh, absolutely.
01:59Of course.
02:00Yes, this was Cheery Charlie Chickster's Big Return.
02:08At that moment, Jemima came upstairs.
02:11Hi Mr Chickster, I'm Jemima.
02:13Grandpa's always talking about you.
02:15Wow, what have you got here?
02:17This is a Cheery Charlie Chickster doll.
02:21I looked just like that.
02:23So handsome.
02:24Grandpa will be thrilled to meet you.
02:26He remembers all your songs.
02:28I heard him singing one of your songs only yesterday.
02:31That's right, CJ.
02:32Now, how did it go?
02:34This is how it will always be.
02:37You're the only thing I see.
02:40I'll get down on bended knee and tell you that you're the one for me.
02:46Oh, you make my heart go pitty pitty pat.
02:49Just like that.
02:50Pitty pitty pat, yes.
02:52Every time I see you it goes pitty pitty pat.
02:55Because you're the one for me.
02:58But Charlie just said...
03:00I don't remember, I'm afraid.
03:04Oh, you make my heart go pitty pitty pat.
03:06Grandpa remembered and so did his friends.
03:09Pitty pitty pat.
03:12But Cheery Charlie really wasn't as Grandpa remembered him.
03:16Well, I've got to get to the beach hut to sort out some bike hire.
03:19And I'll go and get lunch ready.
03:21Jemima, Jason, Grandpa used to sing you one of Charlie's songs.
03:24Why don't you remind him of it?
03:29Do you remember this, Charlie?
03:32When the dark clouds are forming and the rain pours down
03:37Don't get sad, just let your sorrows drown
03:41Cos the clouds will pass and take away your frown
03:46And the sun will start shining in the sky
03:51Just then, we came downstairs.
03:53We heard them singing.
03:54Wow!
03:57Always smile when the sun is shining
04:00Always laugh and never cry
04:03Every cloud has a silver lining
04:06When the sun starts shining in the sky
04:09We thought Jason and Jemima were great!
04:12But it hadn't cheered Charlie up.
04:16You're still young, you see.
04:18You can have fun.
04:20I'm old.
04:21Grandpa's old too, and he still has fun.
04:24Always laugh and never cry
04:26And how right I was!
04:28Grandpa was having fun dancing with Miss Smiling.
04:31And the sun will start shining in the sky
04:37Back at the mill, we were going to do a show with Elsie's Toy Theatre
04:41to cheer Charlie up.
04:43And Miss Smiling brought Grandpa home.
04:45Is Cheery Charlie Cheekster here?
04:47Yes, but he's miserable.
04:49Grandpa, we can't cheer him up.
04:51We'll soon see about that.
04:53And upstairs went Grandpa to see if he could cheer Charlie up.
04:58I'm going to be a princess.
05:00I'm going to live in the palace.
05:02I'm going to have lots of lovely clothes.
05:04Elsie, that's not how it goes.
05:07So Prince Charming found his princess
05:10and he and Cinderella lived happily...
05:12Happily ever after.
05:14The end.
05:18Very good. Magical.
05:22Hello, Charlie. It's lovely to meet you.
05:24I'm a big fan, you know. Perhaps you're greatest.
05:27Oh, look at this.
05:29Just like you were.
05:31Oh, you make my heart go pity, pity, pat.
05:34Just like that. Pity, pity...
05:38I can't do it anymore.
05:40I can't even remember how it felt.
05:43The theatre has no magic for me now.
05:46I think I'll go and have a rest.
05:49I'm too old to have fun.
05:54You're never too old to have fun. Never.
05:57And I think I can remind him of the fun he used to have.
06:00But I'm going to need this.
06:02Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa.
06:05Catch me if you can.
06:07When our Grandpa shrinks,
06:09he can get up to all kinds of tricks.
06:12And his magic can make things go.
06:14And sometimes he dresses up as something
06:17to save the day.
06:20Which is what he's done today.
06:22He dressed up in the Charlie Cheekster doll's clothes.
06:26Now here's the plan, Elsie.
06:28I'm going to need your theatre.
06:31OK.
06:33Charlie was lying on his bed trying to sing.
06:36When the dark cloud...
06:38Oh, look, I can't do it.
06:40When I knocked on the door...
06:42Come in if you must.
06:44Oh, hello, Elsie.
06:46We thought you might like to have this in here.
06:48Maybe the magic of the theatre
06:50will start to work for you again.
06:52Thank you. You're very sweet.
06:54And I left Grandpa to carry out his plan.
06:58The...
07:00The rain clouds...
07:02The dark clouds...
07:04So...
07:06I'm too old.
07:08But then this happened.
07:16You're never too old
07:18to do what you want to do.
07:20Do what you did when you were young.
07:24Don't long for your youth
07:26when you're long in the tooth.
07:28Just get on with having fun.
07:30Oh, the magic of the theatre.
07:34The smell of the grease paint.
07:35The audience applause.
07:37The magic of the theatre
07:40can still, can still be yours.
07:43That's amazing.
07:45It's me.
07:46It's me how I used to be.
07:48And how you can still be if you want to.
07:52You're never too old
07:54to be who you want to be.
07:56Be who you were so long ago.
08:00Remember the times when you stood on the stage
08:03and waited for the start of the show.
08:07Oh, the magic of the theatre.
08:11The smell of the grease paint.
08:13The audience applause.
08:14The magic of the theatre
08:17can still, can still be yours.
08:20Oh, the magic of the theatre.
08:23Is it Charlie?
08:24Is Charlie singing?
08:26What's that?
08:28What's that singing?
08:29It's Charlie!
08:37When the dark clouds are forming
08:40and the rain pours down
08:43don't get sad.
08:45Just let your sorrows drown
08:47cos the clouds will pass
08:50and take away your frown
08:52and the sun will start shining in the sky.
08:57You've cheered up Charlie.
08:58Totally.
08:59The sun's come out.
09:00All together now.
09:02Yes.
09:03Always smile when the sun is shining.
09:06Always laugh and never cry.
09:09Every cloud has a silver lining
09:12when the sun starts shining in the sky.
09:17And off he went
09:19and we all followed to get into our costumes
09:22for Miss Smiley's summer show.
09:24I picked up the doll and Grandpa's clothes
09:27and went to rescue him.
09:28Seeming we were all singing in the meadow.
09:31Always laugh and never cry.
09:34Every cloud has a silver lining
09:37when the sun starts shining in the sky.
09:40Surely Grandpa hasn't gone for a lie-down.
09:42I must wake him.
09:43No.
09:44Charlie's going to sing your favourite.
09:46This is how it'll always be.
09:49You're the only thing I see.
09:52I'll get down on bended knee
09:55and tell you that you're the one for me.
09:58Oh, you make my heart go pit-a-pat.
10:01Soon, Grandpa was back in his own clothes.
10:04Oh, Grandpa, quick!
10:07We have to hurry.
10:08They're all singing in the meadow.
10:10Right.
10:18Always smile when the sun is shining.
10:21Always laugh and never cry.
10:24Every cloud has a silver lining
10:27when the sun starts shining in the sky.
10:30It's the magic of the theatre, Pat.
10:33The smell of the grease train,
10:35the audience applause.
10:37The magic of the theatre, Pat,
10:40can still be yours.
10:43Oh, the magic of the theatre.
10:46The sound of the music,
10:48the lights that shine.
10:49Yes, the magic of the theatre
10:52can still, can still be mine.
11:01I can still do it. I can.
11:04You can, Charlie.
11:06I ran to give him his doll.
11:09Well, we did it.
11:11Yeah, teamwork. That's what I call it.
11:13Teamwork.
11:14Teamwork.
11:15But how did you manage to remember what it was like, Charlie?
11:18Well, you may not believe this,
11:21but the magic of the theatre worked
11:24and this little doll came to life.
11:27He came to life.
11:29He was singing and dancing,
11:31just like I used to do.
11:33The doll came to life, Grandpa.
11:35Extraordinary.
11:36Crazy.
11:37Hilarious.
11:38Ridiculous.
11:39Risky.
11:40Magic.
11:55Teamwork.
11:56Teamwork.
