00:00Boing, boing, boing.
00:31Yeah!
00:33Useless. Ha-ha!
00:35Right, make me lucky here and now.
00:38Make this marble go kapow.
00:40Muah, muah, muah. Ha-ha.
00:42You've had it now, JJ.
00:46Hey, JJ, Jiffy, guess what?
00:50Missed. Right, my go.
00:52That has never happened before, never.
00:54Yes, it has. Jiffy misses all the time.
00:56Bonzo's fault. What are you back into me for?
00:58I'm not talking about the marbles, I'm talking about Box.
01:01What about Box?
01:02Polly Witch, Black Cat, Crocodiles, Make-A-Marble, Missed by a mile.
01:04Oh, Jiffy. Listen.
01:06I just asked Box if she wanted a story.
01:08And she said, yes, I want a story, I always want a story.
01:10She's always telling me that. Yes, and me.
01:12No. Come on, JJ.
01:14She said she didn't want a story at all.
01:17What?
01:19She says she's too sad.
01:21Sad?
01:23If I was a bird, I could fly away.
01:26If I was a fish, I'd swim.
01:28But I'm just a box, so I have to stay here in this house.
01:32And that's grim.
01:34Box! Box!
01:36Oh, Box, how are you feeling?
01:38Oh, I'm in terrible shape.
01:40What's wrong?
01:42It's me shape. It's terrible. Look at it.
01:44It's the same as it's always been, square.
01:46Yes, a square here and there.
01:48And a square here.
01:50What's wrong with that?
01:52It's boring!
01:54I'm in fantastic shape, like an egg timer.
01:56Or an elephant. Or a kangaroo.
01:58There's nothing wrong with being square.
02:00How would you know?
02:02You're all round and nubbly.
02:04Well, some things have to be square.
02:06Oh, have they?
02:08Of course. Like if you were playing snakes and ladders.
02:10And you were shaking the dice.
02:12And the dice were round instead of square.
02:14If they were round like...
02:16Like these marbles.
02:18Then when you threw them,
02:20they'd go all over the shop, you see.
02:22I've lost my marbles.
02:24Demonstration time!
02:28I've lost my marbles.
02:30True, very true.
02:32Ladies and gentlemen.
02:34Here we go.
02:36Pray silence for a demonstration.
02:38Who's she talking to?
02:40My friends Jiffy and Bonzo
02:42will now build a wall
02:44in only ten seconds
02:46using only round things.
02:48Round things.
02:50Come on.
02:54You've got ten seconds
02:56to build a wall
02:58using only round things.
03:00Starting from now.
03:08I don't believe this.
03:12Oh, look at that.
03:14Right. And now
03:16Jiffy and Bonzo
03:18will build a wall using only
03:20square things.
03:22Ready?
03:24Go.
03:26Oh, that's easy.
03:36It's not good, it's easy.
03:38Anyone can do that.
03:40There. Which just goes to show
03:42that you can't build a wall
03:44if the bricks are round.
03:46Because if the bricks are round
03:48they fall to the ground.
03:50What's all that about?
03:52We're only trying to help.
03:54I told you. I don't want to be a box.
03:56And I certainly don't want to be
03:58a brick.
04:00What shape do you want to be then?
04:02An aeroplane.
04:04What?
04:06An aeroplane.
04:08Now that's a really interesting shape.
04:10You haven't got any wings, Box.
04:12On the other hand
04:14we could make some.
04:16Could we?
04:18Yeah. Easy peasy.
04:20Jiffy, Jiffy, just a minute.
04:22No, no, no. Don't worry, Box.
04:24I'll soon have you flying out of here.
04:26I hope he's not doing this just to get rid of me.
04:28Right. Excuse me.
04:30There.
04:32It's a square. Take it away.
04:34No. Wait and see. Look. When I turn it over
04:36there's a line and I'm going to saw down
04:38that line.
04:40Well, you'll see.
04:42You'll see.
04:44Right. Don't just sit there, you two.
04:46Empty me. Pardon?
04:48Well, I can't be an aeroplane with all this junk inside me.
04:50So shift it.
04:52I am not a box anymore.
04:54My career as a receptacle
04:56is over.
05:02Come on, come on.
05:04Where are we going to put it?
05:06Well, that's your problem.
05:08There.
05:10Great.
05:12Two triangles.
05:14Not triangles, Bonzo. These are wings.
05:16Wings.
05:18Wings?
05:20Yeah.
05:28I'm exhausted.
05:30Who'd think Box could have so much stuff?
05:32And what's Jiffy doing outside?
05:34Hammering his triangles.
05:36Bonzo,
05:38see if you can do this.
05:40Are you ready?
05:42The man with the triangle
05:44lived in the fair
05:46and the fair was on the square.
05:48So we went down
05:50to look around
05:52to see if the man with the
05:54could be found.
05:56But the man with the
05:58wasn't there.
06:00But at the fair was the man
06:02who was thin.
06:04Bows and yo-yos spin.
06:06And throw them in the air.
06:08He was there at the fair.
06:10And the yo-yos went around and around.
06:12In the middle of the square.
06:14But the man with the
06:16wasn't there.
06:18But at the fair
06:20was a girl whose hair
06:22was red and white and brown and fair.
06:24Who could cycle in mid-air.
06:26Yeah.
06:28She was there at the fair.
06:30And the wheels they turned around and around.
06:32But the man with the
06:34wasn't there.
06:36But at the fair
06:38we found a pair of shoes called
06:40Flip and Plop.
06:42Who could only dance on the table top.
06:44Or on the sofa.
06:46Or on a chair.
06:48He was there at the fair.
06:50But the man with the wasn't there.
06:52So we looked around the ground.
06:54We looked around the floor.
06:56And then we heard the sound of someone
06:58flying through the air.
07:00And there.
07:02In the middle of the square.
07:04Was the man with the
07:06he was there.
07:08Yeah.
07:10You two. Come and see I've finished.
07:12Come on.
07:18So what do you think then eh?
07:20Brilliant.
07:22How do you feel Box?
07:24Box? Box? To whom are you referring?
07:26Do I look like a box?
07:28I am Delta Charlie 106.
07:30And I'm preparing to take off.
07:32But before I go I would like to say
07:34a few words.
07:36Speech. Speech.
07:42Friend. The time has come for me
07:44to leave your nutty little house.
07:46For like the lowly caterpillar
07:48that winters in obscurity.
07:50Only to emerge as a glorious butterfly.
07:52I Delta Charlie 106.
07:54I'm about to take my
07:56place amongst the clouds.
07:58Thank you. Thank you.
08:00Speech over to me.
08:02Prepare for
08:04take off.
08:06Chocks away.
08:08Chocks away.
08:10Chocks away.
08:12Ignition.
08:14Five.
08:16Four. Three. Two. One.
08:18Blast off.
08:20Bye.
08:22Have a lovely time.
08:26Can I have a word?
08:28What? Why aren't I moving?
08:30I haven't moved an inch.
08:32You're making me look a complete
08:34idiot. True.
08:36Plan B.
08:38What's Plan B? The Gabungulator.
08:40Eh? Yeah.
08:42It's alright. Don't worry. You'll see.
08:44Sorry about that ladies and gentlemen.
08:46Now if you would kindly follow me.
08:48Aha.
08:50What's this? Alternative
08:52launch system. Eh?
08:54Yeah. Gabungulator. Looks like a
08:56see-saw to me. What's it do?
08:58It's simple enough. You see
09:00we place Delta Charlie 106 on this end.
09:02Who? Fox.
09:04And on the other end we drop
09:06an enormously
09:08heavy weight of sand.
09:10Like so.
09:16Gabung! No!
09:18Oh! Where'd she go?
09:20I don't know. She didn't even
09:22say cheerio. Help!
09:24Get me down!
09:26Oh! Why didn't I insist on taking
09:28a parachute?
09:30How am I going to get back to work from up here?
09:32Ah! Ah! Don't look down
09:34Fox! Just remain calm until help
09:36comes. Help.
09:38Come soon. Come now! I can't
09:40last much longer. Oh, perhaps if I
09:42close my eyes it won't be so bad.
09:44Oh. Fox
09:46are you alright? Of course
09:48I'm not alright. I'm stuck on the side
09:50of this mountain. Oh, it's not a mountain
09:52Fox. It's only a shed and it's not very
09:54high up, is it? That's easy for you to
09:56say, you galumphing giant.
09:58Come on. I'll get you down. Don't you
10:00touch me! It's all your fault I'm here in the
10:02first place. Actually
10:04it was your idea.
10:06You wanted to fly.
10:08You didn't tell me it was going to be so high
10:10up, did you? Ah!
10:12I just looked down again!
10:14It's OK Fox. I've got you.
10:16Hold on tight, Bullshoy. Don't
10:18drop me. Right. Come on down.
10:20You're alright.
10:24What was it like flying?
10:26Don't ask. It was idiot.
10:28It was terrible. It was like
10:30nothing on earth.
10:32Oh, take
10:34me back to earth. I wasn't built for space
10:36travel, you know. I'm a box, you see.
10:38Just a humble box.
10:40And I'm quite happy just sitting around.
10:42You're alright now. You can open your eyes
10:44now, Fox.
10:46Oh! Oh! I'm safe!
10:48Benzine! My hero!
10:50Oh, you've brought me back! Hello, kitchen!
10:52Hello, house! Hello, little windows!
10:54Hello, little garden! Hello,
10:56missus! Hello, missus!
10:58Quick! Take these ridiculous
11:00things off me before that maniac
11:02throws me in the air again! I'll do it.
11:04Keep your distance, madman!
11:06Oh, that's it.
11:08That's it.
11:10Now stand back
11:12and tell me what you see before you.
11:14Go on.
11:16All of you, go on. Tell me.
11:18What do you see? Well, it's you
11:20again. Yes, yes, it's me again.
11:22But what am I? You're a box.
11:24Say it again. You're a box. And again.
11:26You're a box!
11:28One more look, everyone. You're a box!
11:30I am! I am! I'm a boring
11:32old square box. Hooray!
11:36I am a box.

12:18in and out of it.
12:20It's a thrill.

12:48That is loaded on a ship
12:50in the docks.
12:52Made of tin. Or of
12:54cardboard. Or in bits of

13:18floor. There was
13:20more. You couldn't
13:22give your mum. Tilly
