here's blinky bill and nutsy and it's

flat who makes it free and a mob of

circus animals who blinky helps it free

now blinky's going everywhere around the

world he'll roam to get each and every

one of them to places they call home but

the circus boys have other plans they

want their circus back they're chasing

blinky overseas and want him in their

act there's danger and excitement in

each strange and distant land we're sure

our cheeky franky bill can keep the

upper hand

hey hey blinky bill you'll never catch

him standing still like this pretty

boring too you've met blinky bill

hey hey blinky bill out cheeky mate from

green patch hill if you don't know him

look

there's antarctica where we've come from

and there's africa where the wind is

blowing us and here's about where we are

now crikey n*zi we'll never get there at

this rate actually we're making quite

good progress considering our authority

i'll get us there in no time

if we go up higher we might find a

faster wind

oh just be patient blinky i've tried

that it's boring

this isn't making us go faster blinky

just higher well at least we're going

somewhere else

now we're racing yes but we're racing

back towards antarctica huh you found a

wind that's blowing in the wrong

direction

oh

in that case this'll get us back down

[Music]

[Applause]

it's like living in a circus

[Music]

what's the re ship mate we'll catch up

with that balloon soon enough and if we

don't well we'll just catch us some nice

fish along the way i don't want to catch

do to get us moving i think i'm getting

the hang of this

just need some building materials

[Music]

excuse me leo

sorry leo don't be so impatient we'll

get to africa sooner or later

i'm gonna make sure it's sure hey watch

it buzzfeed rushing into things isn't

always a good idea blinky especially for

you remember what happened at the old

gold mine oh that was just bad luck i

thought you might have learnt your

lesson from that disaster what disaster

oh it was a while ago back in green

patch oh please spare us the

reminiscences

no tell us

it all started in school

miss magpie was telling us about the

time when humans used to dig for gold

out in the hills near wobbly creek

this is some of the equipment they used

to use

wow

i bet there's hidden treasure in the

mine there always is we'll all be going

on an excursion to the mine in a few

weeks and when it's been restored and

made safe

if they fix up the mine someone else

will find the treasure i have to go now

you can't go anywhere

oh flapper come with me won't you

better

the miners used to go in here

and because it was very dark they used

to use one of these lamps

well that's odd i'm sure i had it right

here

i must be going potty

[Music]

look there's wobbly creek the mine's got

to be somewhere near

sound of that here it's gonna rain for

nice and dry

see

it looks even scarier now don't you want

to find the treasure

if there is one of course there is come

on

[Music]

shouldn't we leave a trail or something

so we can find our way back well why

bother there's only one way out and it's

always going to be up

which way down though

ah

any money this way

watch out for that

oh what happened then n*zi blink evil

flap continued deeper into the mine

looking for signs of treasure

but blinky was getting impatient ah this

is taking forever
