[laughing]

- [Zou] I suppose all that rubbish

and stuff will be a bit smelly.

- What rubbish?

- Oh, didn't I tell you?

I've decided to be a
dustman when I grow up.

- [Elzee] I thought you
were going to be a lord.

- That was yesterday,
but grandpa says he needs

some help cleaning out his garage

and that'll be good
practice for when I get

to be a dustman.

Bye Elzee.

- Bye Zou.

[upbeat music]

[blowing]

[upbeat music]

[humming]

- Grandpa, I've come to help.

- Oh, Zou, jolly good.

I could do with a hand.

There's a lot of stuff here
that needs throwing away.

Oh, but we'd better not get rid of that.

Look, a very rare jumping paint pot.

You don't see many of those about.

- Hmm?

[laughing]

That's not a jumping paint pot, it's Poc.

- You had me fooled that time Poc.

[laughing]

Come on Zou, there's
still plenty to be done.

- Um, grandpa?

I don't think you'll be
needing this anymore.

A paint brush with no bristles.

- Well it might come in handy if I find

some invisible paint.

- You're silly.

[creaking]

Poc?

Ooh.

Grandpa, what's this?

- That?

Oh, it's my old walkie talkie.

There should be another handset somewhere.

Ah, here it is.

- What's a walkie talkie?

- Wait here a moment.

It's like a sort of mobile phone.

- Wow, brilliant.

How does it work?

- You press the big
red button on the side.

- Like this.

- That's it and when
you talk to someone on

the other end, you say things like roger.

That means understood and over,

that means you finished
what you were saying.

- Can I play with it please grandpa?

- Of course you can.

I mean roger, just as
soon as we've finished

our clear out.

- Well let's get going.

[laughing]

[upbeat music]

- Right, I'll take this little
lot to the rubbish dump.

- And I'll play with the walkie talkie.

But who should I play with?

Elzee?

Elzee?

- Yes Zou?

- Do you want to play
with my walkie talkie?

It's brilliant, see?

- I'd like to Zou, but I'm
going out with mom and dad.

We're leaving in a few minutes.

- [Mom] Elzee, we're ready to go.

- Coming mom.

Sorry Zou, maybe some other time.

- Oh, right.

Okay.

Zou calling Zou, do you read me, over.

Roger, receiving you loud and clear, over.

Hmm, it's not the same
speaking to yourself.

You already know what you're going to say.

Huh?

Poc, do you want a go?

Cool.

Zou to Poc, Zou to Poc.

Come in please, over.

The red button Poc, you
push the red button.

It's not really your
sort of thing, is it Poc?

- Zou, can you come here a moment?

- Coming.

- I'm just popping out
to the shop with nana.

I'll be back soon.

- Oh, would you like me to go for you?

- That's very kind of you Zou.

It'll save my legs.

I've got a list here, somewhere.

[upbeat music]

- I'm gonna need someone
else if I want to use you.

[upbeat music]

- And butter, that's it.

- I wonder if Zak would
like to play with me?

- Zak would've loved to
play with you I'm sure.

He's gone to his grans for the day.

- Oh well, never mind.

- Zou, aren't you forgetting something?

- Oh, nana's shopping.

[upbeat music]

Hello, I've got all your shopping nana.

- Oh, thank you Zou.

So you have [kissing].

Oh, but I don't think I ordered these.

What are they?

- They're my walkie talkies.

See you later nana.

- Bye Zou.

Zou?

- Coming nana.

- I left the hat in the kitchen.

Could you be an angel and fetch it for me?

- Okay nana, on my way.

[upbeat music]

Nana?

I've got your hat.

- Thank you Zou.

So kind going up and down those stairs.

I meant to ask you earlier,
what are those walkie talkies?

- They're a bit like a telephone, see?

You press the red button here

and you talk into it and you can hear me

coming out of the other one.

- Oh, you certainly can.

- The trouble is, there's no
one around to play with me,

unless, nana, I've got a great idea.

Why don't you have one of these?

- Me?

But, ooh, well, well I don't know.

They're awfully modern.

- They're really easy to use
and then whenever you need

anything you can call me.

- Well, yes.

- [Zou] Zou to nana.

- Oh.

- It's all right, it won't bite you nana.

Press your red button.

Now talk into that bit there.

- What do I say?

- [Zou] Anything you like,
but nana to Zou would be

a good start.

- Nana to Zou.

- Well done nana.

Zou to nana receiving you, over.

- Over what?

- Over is what you say
when you finish speaking.

- Oh so very confusing.

- No it isn't nana, you'll
soon get the hang of it.

Just remember to press
the red button, over.

Ooh grandma, those cookies smell yummy.

- You'd better have one then, go on.

- Maybe nana would like one of these too.

They're her favorites.

- Well, why don't you
pop upstairs and ask her?

- No need to go upstairs.

Zou to nana, Zou to nana.

Would you like one of grandma's

chocolate chip cookies, over.

- [Nana] Oh, yes please Zou.

I mean yes please, over.

- Oh Zou, that is clever.

- I found this during my garage clear out.

Any use to anyone?

- Maybe nana would like it.

I'll just ask her.

Zou to nana.

Grandpa found a vase, would
you like to have it, over.

- [Nana] Well yes, but I think

it would need flowers in it, over.

- It soon will have.

- I see your walkie
talkie came in useful Zou.

- It's brilliant grandpa.

Flowers, vase, and cookies
coming right up nana, over.

Nana will like these
flowers, won't she Poc?

[tweeting]

Wow, steady Poc, you nearly
sneezed nana's flowers to bits.

- Oh.

Thank you Zou.

What lovely flowers and
what a delicious cookie.

- Standby for a kiss.

[kissing]

[bell ringing]

- I thought you were
going to be a policeman

when you grow up?

- Not anymore.

I'm going to be an astronaut and zoom off

into space to explore.

Hey, what's going on in the park?

- [Elzee] They're getting ready
for the dance competition.

- Dance competition?

- Yes, it's on Saturday.

Haven't you heard about it?

Huh?

[tweeting]

- Well count me out.

That's one thing I never
want to be when I grow up,

a dancer.

Bye Elzee.

- Bye Zou.

- So good of you to look after Zinnia.

- She'll be no trouble, will you darling?

You're such a good girl.

- Yes, but sadly even the
best behaved little girls

aren't invited to the Lord
Mayor's luncheon parties.

[laughing]

- Hi mom.

Guess what we did in school today?

We had a lesson all about
the planets in space

and astro, oh.

- Hello.

- Hi Aunt Zelda, Uncle Zavier.

Hi Zinnia.

- Hello Zou.

- Well, now little Zou's here you two

can go off and play.

- Yes, we don't want to
keep the Lord Mayor waiting,

do we?

Bye Zinnia darling [kissing].

- Bye you two, enjoy yourselves.

- Bye darling.

- So Zinnia, what would you like to do?

Well, I know, we could play
monsters from outer space.

I'll be the brave space explorer

and you can be the slime creature from

beneath the Planet Cog.

- I want to practice my dancing.

- Dancing?

- Yes, I've entered the dance competition

and I'm going to win.

Daddy says so.

Point and flex and point and close.

Why don't you try it?

- Me dance?

Dancing's for girls.

- Boys dance too.

Haven't you ever heard of Rudolph Zebraev?

- No.

- He was the most famous
Russian ballet dancer ever.

- Oh.

- And point and flex and point and flex.

[tweeting]

[laughing]

Ballet isn't something to laugh about Zou.

- I wasn't laughing at you
Zinnia or your dancing.

Anyway if I could do ballet I'd
dance much better than that.

- Oh well, if you're so good at dancing,

why don't you enter the dance competition?

- All right, I will.

- Great, isn't it exciting?

Zou's going to enter
the dance competition.

And point and flex and point and flex.

- Thanks so much for
taking care of Zinnia.

[peaceful music]

- Zou, you don't look too happy.

- What am I going to do mom?

I can't do all that ballet stuff.

Everyone's going to laugh at me.

I can't even do ballet.

Point and flex and point and...

Point and flex and, aw.

- Ah Bizou, maybe you should
have thought about that

before you said anything to Zinnia.

[upbeat music]

[yawning]

- Yay, it's Sunday.

Football in the park this afternoon.

[tweeting]

Oh and ballet in the park
on Saturday [groaning].

- Good morning Bizou.

And how's my little dancer this morning?

- Dancer?

I didn't know you were
interested in dancing Zou.

- I'm not and I don't want
to wear a ballet outfit.

And I wish I'd never said I would go in

for the rotten dance competition.

- Now, what's all this about?

- Zinnia was showing off about her ballet.

- And I think Zou let his
mouth get the better of him.

He's entered the dance competition.

[laughing]

- It isn't funny, everyone's
going to laugh at me

and my tutu.

[laughing]

- You don't have to wear a tutu

and you don't have to do ballet.

- Yes I do.

- Zou, I've read about this competition in

the newspaper.

It's not just for ballet dancing,

it's for all types of dancing and I'm sure

we can find the sort of dance
that's just right for you.

Come on, let's get out my old gramophone

and see what we can come up with.

[slurping]

- Okay, I'll give it a try.

[peaceful music]

- Here we are.

Right, now let's see.

[humming]

[upbeat music]

Ta da.

So, what do you think?

- Pretty good grandpa.

That doesn't look a bit like ballet.

- I should say not.

That is what I like to
call eccentric dancing.

Now, how about you giving it a go?

- Well, all right.

[tweeting]

[upbeat dance music]

- Huh?

[yelling]

- Zou, are you all right?

I'm sure with a bit of
practice, you'll get

the hang of it [laughing].

- Uh Zou, could you keep
the noise down a bit?

I'm trying to practice my
dance for the competition

on Saturday.

- Oh, have you entered too?

- Yes, only it's not going very well.

I can't seem to get my dance right and,

hold on, you've entered?

- Uh-huh.

- But, but I thought you said...

- I changed my mind,

but my dance isn't going too well either.

- Well, if neither of
you are happy with what

you're doing at the moment,
why don't you dance together?

You know, I think I
might have just the dance

for you two.

- It's not, it's not ballet is it?

- Of course it isn't.

I tell you what, let me
and grandma show you.

- Yeah.

[laughing]

[upbeat music]

[clapping]

- Wow, you're really good.

- Yay, I didn't know grandmas could dance.

[laughing]

- Cheeky.

- Shall we have a go?

- All right.

- That's it.

Left and left and right and swing.

[laughing]

Left and left and right and swing.

[upbeat music]

- Yeah.

[giggling]

[upbeat music]

[clapping]

- Well done you two.

You'll be great.

- Well, I think they're as
ready as they'll ever be.

- [Announcer] And welcome
to dance in the park

and to start the competition
off let's hear it

for Zak Zoey.

[clapping]

[hip hop music]

[cheering]

- Zak was really good.

- Yeah he is.

- [Announcer] And now for our
second contestant, Zinnia.

[upbeat music]

[giggling]

[clapping]

- [Announcer] And now last but not least,

here are Zou and Elzee.

[upbeat music]

[tweeting]

[clapping and cheering]

- [All] Hooray.

- And in the absence of the Lord Mayor

who unfortunately could not be here today,

it is my great pleasure
to award first prize

to Zinnia.

[cheering and clapping]

[clapping]

- Well done to you too Zou.

You and Elzee danced really quite well.

- Thanks Zinnia and watch
out 'cause next time I'll...

- 'Cause next time what?

- I think I'll stick to
playing space monsters,

but dancing's fun though [laughing].

[clapping and cheering]
