[Applause]
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
you soon will good
[Music]

well at least you're getting out and
about i haven't stretched my legs in
days
you can always try spot of indoor
exercise watch out
nice handling duck don't call me duck
anyway it's not as easy as it looks oh
how much longer are the rest of us to be
cooped up in this horrid little box how
far is this africa place
i'll show you
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]
can't this thing go any faster now
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

i've got to do something that's it or
i'll go crazy but what i mean what can i
do to get us moving i think i'm getting
the hang of this
be careful i've got it got what an idea
how to get us to africa quicker i'm
gonna build a special machine to speed
us up what sort of machine uh you see i
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
sure so
we're going underground that will be
nice and dry
well guess what
there's the entrance
come on
[Music]

going
[Music]
here we go
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

we need to make sure we're not making
things worse

hide forever
