Ba-dum-dum-dum ba-dum-ba-dum

ba-dum-dum-dum
ba-dum-ba-dum ba-dum-dum-dum

ba-dum-ba-dum-dum.

We're ready to wiggle, wiggle
your fingers high in the sky.

We're ready to wiggle, wiggle
your ears and wiggle your eyes.

We're ready to wiggle, wiggle
your hair and wiggle your nose.

We're ready to
wiggle, wiggle all

ten toes, wiggle all ten toes.

Whoo!

Look, everyone. it's our
friend Captain Feathersword,

the friendly pirate.

Let's all say, "Ahoy there,
Captain Feathersword."

Ahoy there,
Captain Feathersword.

Ahoy there, me hearties.

Captain, you've dropped
your feathersword.

So I have.

I'd better try that
again, I think.

Ahoy there, me hearties.

It's happened again, Captain.

Oh, so it has.

I'd try that again one more
time, third time lucky.

Oh.

Ahoy there, me hearties.

Oh.

Oh, Captain,
are you all right?

Oh.

Oh, yes, I'm fine, just a little
bump on the head, Anthony.

Captain, how do you feel?

Well, I feel a bit
quackers after that, Anthony,

quack, quack, quack.

Mm, did you just say,
quack, quack, quack?

Oh, yes, indeed,
quack, quack, quack.

Oh, we can all say that.

You ready, everybody?

Quack, quack, quack.

Wow, that's great.

How about-- oh,
c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

We can do that, too.

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!

Wow.

Well, now, we can
all quack, quack, quack

and c*ck-a-doodle-doo together.

Hoo-hoo.

["CAPTAIN FEATHERSWORD
FELL ASLEEP IN HIS

SHIP [QUACK QUACK]" PLAYING]

[SINGING] Captain Feathersword
fell asleep on his pirate ship.

Then he woke up on a farm.

Oh, my goodness me.

[SINGING] With roosters
and ducks singing this song.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack doodley-doo.

So now every day when he
talks, this is what he says,

quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

He also does the farmyard dance.

And you can do it, too.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack doodley-doo.

Well, is he a
rooster or a pirate?

Well, I just don't know.

Ahoy there, ahoy there,
ahoy c*ck-a-doodley there.

He also does the farmyard dance.

And you can do it, too.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack doodley-doo.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack doodley-doo.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Quack, quack, quack doodley-doo.

GIRL: I love stories.

TEACHER: What's this?

GIRL: I like to
look at the pictures

as well as listen to the words
when someone reads to me.

Everyone looks as if
they're really enjoying it.

TEACHER: What's for lunch?

See--

GIRL: The story sounds
as if it's about somebody

who's looking for some lunch.

TEACHER: Look out, mouse,
you could be someone's lunch.

Swish, swoosh, swish, swoosh.

GIRL: But there are some
squishy squashy sounds as well.

TEACHER: Squishy
squishy, squashy squashy.

GIRL: Hmm, I wonder if I could
find that book in the library.

I think I'd like it.

THE WIGGLES [SINGING]:
He counts 10,


Counting as I climb the
stairs is so much fun.

Ba-dum-dum-dum
ba-dum-ba-dum ba-dum-dum-dum

ba-dum-ba-dum ba-dum-dum-dum
ba-dum-ba-dum Whoo!

Hello, and welcome
to the Annual

Building Blocks
Championship coming to you

live from Wiggle House.

I'm Shazza Footinmouth.

And I'll be bringing you all the
highlights from today's match,

which pits Musical Murray and
Hungry Anthony against Good

Guy Greg and Snoozy Jeff.

And we pick up the
championship game with Greg

having handed over to his
partner, Jeff, and Anthony

passing on to his
teammate, Murray.

It's quite a standoff.

Come on, Jeff,
place your block.

You've got it now.

Oh, but it seems Jeff is still
confused about the last move

Murray made for his team.

Foul.

CROWD: Oh.

It's a foul.

Your move.

Whose move, Henry?

Whose move?

It's Murray's move.

Oh, thanks, Henry.

Well, controversy has rocked
Wiggle House with the referee,

Henry the Octopus, all at sea
with some of his decisions.

But the spectators are
really enjoying this battle.

Look, there's a Mexican
wave in the stand.

Now, here's Murray's chance
to even up the score.

Yay!

Whoo-hoo.

Oh, how exciting.

Way to go, Wiggles.

This is tremendous stuff.

Remember, the team with the
highest tower when the time's

up wins the championship.

And we're in the dying
stages of the game.

Goodness gracious,
what a thriller.

Timeout.

Henry, don't blow that--

[whistle blows]

--whistle.

CROWD: Oh.

Ah.

Anthony does some very strange
things when he hears a whistle.

Time.

Out sideline are
the very rare dancing

green Mexican iguana is in
the huddle with Greg and Jeff.

Let's listen to their tactics.

Now, Jeff, you have the
final move for our team.

So what we need you to do
is put the purple block

on top of the red one
and the blue block

on top of the purple one.

And then we should be able
to build a really big tower,

and we'll win.

Jeff?

Let's see what's
going on in Murray

and Anthony's timeout huddle.

[guitar playing]

Time.


Thanks.

Let's keep building.

Well, in all my years
as a sports commentator,

I've never seen a closer battle.

It's a complete standoff.

Foul.

Your move.

Foul?

What for?

Oh, please, referee.

Well, this could be the break
that Murray and Anthony needed.

We're in the dying
stages of the game.

And Murray has a chance
to put his team in front.

With no timeouts
left, Greg and Jeff

will be hard-pressed to
keep the title they won

last year with a
victory over Wags

the dog and Captain
Feathersword.

Will the tower fall or not?

[drumbeats]

And that gives Murray
and Anthony the lead.

It's all going to come down to
a final move by Jeff Wiggle.

And he's putting a lot
of thought into this one,

or could it be--

CROWD: Oh.

Oh, Jeff has fallen
asleep, ladies and gentlemen.

[snores]

Unbelievable!

Incomprehensible, but--

Jeff, what are you doing?

What am I going to do?

And with no
timeouts left, Greg

better do some quick thinking
if he's going to win this one.

Wake up, Jeff.

It's no good.

He needs to be in his
special alarm clock chair.

And we don't have any time.

[whistle blows]

HENRY: One moment, Greg.

I'm afraid under Rule

you cannot have your
sleeping team members turn.

Only a fresh substitute player
can make your final move.

CROWD: Oh.

Oh, well, it
looks like the game

is up for the defending
champions with only seconds

to go.

And Greg can't find a substitute
player he can turn to.

I know.

Dorothy can play.

Dorothy, Dorothy, come quickly.

Who, me?

Oh, I love playing games.

[applause]

This is a sensation,
ladies and gentlemen.

Dorothy the Dinosaur
has taken up

the position for Greg's team.

Dorothy, you need to
make a move, any move.

We only have a few seconds left.

OK, Greg.

CROWD: Oh.

Oh.

[cheers]

Oh, oh, unbelievable!

Dorothy the Dinosaur has won
the game for Greg's team.

Dorothy, what was
going through your mind

when you made that
final winning move?

Nothing.

Here you go, Dorothy.

DOROTHY: Oh, wow!

That was a great
effort, Dorothy.

I didn't know you were
such a great block builder.

I love building games, Greg.

[yawns] it's been
a long timeout.

Hey, Dorothy, what are you
doing holding the trophy?

Did we win?

Yes, Jeff, we did.

We won.

We-- we wo-- oh.

Oh.

Well, so that's all
from Wiggle House.

So until next time, see you.

["i am a dancer" playing]

[SINGING] I am a dancer.

I am a dancer.

I love to dance so.

When I hear music, when I hear
music, round and around, I go.

I am a dancer.

I am a dancer.

I love to dance so.

When I hear music, when I hear
music, round and around, I go.

["toot toot!" playing]
Henry the Octopus lives

down in the deep blue sea.

Henry the Octopus, he's
a friend to you and me.

Hi, everybody, or as we say
in octopus language, bree-boop.

NARRATOR: It was a lovely
morning in the sea.

The water was cool,
clear, and blue.

Henry the Octopus lived in
his house under the sea.

Henry dusted away the
sand from his furniture

and then headed out
for his morning walk.

He saw Joey the Crab.

"Hello Joey, how are you?"

said Henry.

Joey is the drummer in
Henry's underwater big band.

"Oh, OK," said Joey.

He didn't sound too happy.

"What's the matter?

You sound a bit sad."

"Well, Henry, I didn't
really enjoy school today."

"Why not?"

asked Henry.

"We were learning the
letters of the alphabet,

and there were so many.

I didn't enjoy school
like I normally do."

Learning can seem like
hard work sometimes.

But Henry always had good ideas.

"That's OK.

I know a fun game to play
with letters of the alphabet."

"Wow.

That sounds like fun."

"Oh, yes, you
start with a letter

and describe something
that is around you.

Why don't we travel
in the octomobile

and see what we
can see in the sea.

Ha-ha-ha-ha."

Joey thought Henry was funny and
so joined in with his own joke.

"Henry, we could say
the ABC in the sea.

Ha-ha-ha-ha," laughed Joey.

And soon, they set off on
their alphabet adventure.

"Well, I'll start off,
Joey, with a few examples.

And then you can
try it for yourself.

Firstly, the letter
A. A is for anemone,

our spiky friend, Albert.

What's the next letter?"

"The letter B," said Joey.

"That's it.

B is for barnacle."

"Oh, let me try, Henry.

C is the next letter.

C is for crab."

"That's right.

What's next?"

"The letter D. And
I know what starts

with D. D is for drummer,"
[drumbeats] said Joey.

He loved playing this game.

"Oh, your turn now, Henry.

The next letter is the letter E.
What starts with the letter E?"

Henry thought long
and hard about this

and then said, "eggs."

Henry was right.

But what eggs was
he talking about?

"Fish eggs, of
course," said Henry.

Fish eggs are small
and not easy to see.

That was a tricky one.

Just then, the octomobile
came upon two fish.

"Hello, Henry.

Hello, Joey.

You look like
you're having fun."

"But yes," said Joey.

"We're playing the
alphabet game."

"Oh, that is a lot of fun."

"We knew that game.

Can we try the next letter?"

asked the fish.

"Of course, you can.

The next letter
is the letter F."

"Oh, that's easy.

F is for fish."

They laughed.

Henry and Joey said
goodbye to their friends

and headed back home
in the octomobile.

Joey had enjoyed
himself so much.

The alphabet game
was a lot of fun.

And even when he was by himself,
Joey could play the game.

What a clever game.

What a clever octopus Henry is.

And what a clever
little crab Joey is.

Ahoy there, me hearties.

You're all welcome here.

[SINGING] It's Captain
Feathersword's pirate show.

CAPTAIN FEATHERSWORD: Right now,
the first thing you must learn

about fishing my hairy friend
is to know where the fish

are if you want to catch one.

[barks]

Now, my keen seafaring
eyes tell me there are

none too many fish around here.

But never mind,
it's a good chance

for the old Captain to
show you a thing or two

about casting a line.

Now you must be very
careful with your rod, Wags.

It's not a toy,
whoo-hoo, no, no, no.

Right then, watch carefully
and learn from the master.

[laughter]

[thuds]

[groaning]

So I hope you're
watching carefully

Young Wags as the old
Captain demonstrates one

of the problems we can
have while trying to master

the fine art of fishing.

[grunting]

Aw!

[cries]

Right.

Here we go.

[water splashes]

Oh, thanks.

Nothing like a relaxing
spot of fishing.

[barks]

Oh!

I've got one, Wags, whew.

Oh, oh, I think
I've got a big one.

Who-hoo-hoo.

Don't panic.

[barking]

Don't panic, Wags.

Oh, I think it's a whale--

[barking]

--or maybe a shark.

[laughter]

Stand back.

Give me room.

[barks]

Oh, here it comes, aah!

[barks]

Well, it must have got away.

Ooh, ooh, but it was a big
one, though, right, Wags?

Oh, yes, a big one indeed.

Oh.

But I don't think
there'll be too

many more like that out there.

I think we should call it a
day and come back when there's

a few more fish in the ocean.

[barks]

No good at all.

Whoo-hoo-hoo.

But did I tell
you about the time

I battled a big angry
shark with my bare hands?

Oh, yes, big nasty teeth
he had on, nasty, nasty.

Oh, but the old Captain
wasn't a match for him.

Whoo-hoo-hoo.

Oh, come on, Wags.

There's a lot more to
teach you about the sea.

There's a lot more to learn
if you want to catch fish.

It's not as easy as it looks.

That's great, Emma.

That's great, too, Jesse.

We're doing paintings
using droppers.

Have you ever done a
painting like this?

Watch how the paint
comes out of the dropper.

Looks like rain.

["I LOVE IT WHEN IT RAINS"
PLAYING]

[SINGING] I love
it when it rains

and I lie in bed at night.

I listen to it patter on
the roof soft and light.

But then a storm may come and
the thunder starts to crash,

the rain beats on the window
and I see the lightning flash.

I hold on teddy tight
and sink down in my bed.

I close my eyes so tight and
pull the covers over my head.

I feel so snug and warm I know
that everything's all right.

I love it when it rains
as I lie in bed at night.
