oh come with me to the rolling sea while
the weather's calm and still
and we'll have some fun and laughter
with the adventures of portland bill
[Music]
it was a lovely sunny seaside day and
duggar and i were in the ghillie cuddy
for a walk
but first i had to pop into eddie
stone's shop
oh hi there i called all hands on deck
oh hello bill
come for some extra supplies chuckle
daddy what will it be um a gallon of oil
crate of lemonade or maybe a large box
of brass polish oh no not today thanks i
replied i just need a ball of string
eddie was amazed you've come all the way
from the lighthouse just for a ball of
string that's right i said
strings very useful
why there's a knot for everything
hitches and sheep bends
sheep shanks and bowlines and what's
more
string often helps me remember things
however can string help you remember
things asked eddie but before i could
explain
grandma tyree rushed in all over tears
oh dear she gasped
my washing line's broken and i've got a
big basket full of wet clues to dry
don't you worry grandma i said i'll use
my ball of string to join it up with a
sheet ben not come on eddie give us an
hand
[Music]
well i soon had the washing line fixed
thanks to my ball of string i said to
eddie
yes but how does it help you remember
things but i was already on my way
tell you later i shouted
[Music]
when suddenly two sheep burst through
the gate in front of us
boy it's flotsam and jetsam from
finistez croft i said
what are you two doing here
well just then young gail from the
village ran up to me
what's the matter gail i said
do you want dogger to catch those sheep
for you
oh no it's boomer the bull he's broken
loose and he's in the lane those silly
sheep just followed him and look out
he's coming back
[Music]
don't worry i'll get him
oh boomer i shouted and i led him
quietly to a nearby post and tied him to
it with a running hitch using some more
of my string
at that moment finistere arrived puffing
and panting
oh thank goodness you've found them
i've been i've been looking for them
everywhere thank you bill you are clever
well i laughed a good lighthouse keeper
has a knot for everything
and then i went on our way
on the way back to my boat we bumped
into fast net the fisherman
he was not his usual cheery self
shouldn't you be off fishing i asked
you'll miss the toy if you're not
careful
ah
can't be helped bill i got an all in my
net the size of a whale i'll just have
to miss the toy
oh we can't have that i said i got some
good strong string here we'll mend your
nets in no time
but first i need a bit to tie around
your little finger
[Music]
hello eddie back again bill he said uh
what would you like this time
oh dear i says what with runaway bulls
broken washing lines and fishing nets
i've forgotten what i came for
oh guess
i tied this string around my little
finger to remind me
so that's how string can help you
remember things laughed eddie
well bill
what did you want to remember
to buy another large ball of string i
smiled
i've used the other one of tying knots
for everything
[Music]

tea break

will clean up this mess in seconds
and i'm just the person to build it for
you
i could have been a great inventor
[Music]
well after a great deal of all of the
loo
cromedy unveiled his invention he was
very proud
there you are
he said
the world's first wind-powered vacuum
cleaner all you have to do is put this
end out the window and when the wind
blows it will turn the windmill which
will turn this cog which will make the
vacuum cleaner work it's not bad here
well
ross and i weren't too sure about it but
comedy was convinced oh sure to catch on
he cried
everyone will want one i'll have to make
hundreds of them i'll be rich
well just then the wind started to blow
look it's working yellow comedy
oh great comedy look at it well it's
fine it's worth your treat that smashy

wind everything worked at top speed and
the vacuum cleaner went mad oh

out for goodness sake

i don't know
oh
thank goodness oh
i thought my vacuum cleaner was gonna
suck up everything

but there's another problem you're gonna
have with your invention what's that
well

other way huh we certainly didn't have
long to wait before we found out
just then the wind changed direction
look out
everything's coming back and sure enough
comedy's invention was blowing all the
crumbs and dust back onto ross's clean
cabinet oh no not again my girlfriend
