Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom Season 1 Episode 5 - The King is not Well
Transcript
00:00Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles is a little kingdom of elves and fairies.
00:09Everyone who lives here is very, very small.
00:14I'm Ben Elf!
00:17And I'm Princess Holly!
00:21Come on, let's play!
00:23Wait for us!
00:25Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom
00:31Today's adventure starts at the little castle.
00:38King Thistle is not well.
00:46Oooh!
00:48Achoo!
00:50Oooh!
00:52Achoo!
00:54Daddy, you've blown our cards over!
00:57I can't help it, Holly. I'm very ill.
01:01You've just got a cold, that's all.
01:03Er, no. It's not just a cold. It feels worse than that.
01:07Daddy's a bit grumpy.
01:09Daddy's always grumpy when he's ill.
01:12Then why don't you use a little fairy magic to make me better?
01:16Darling, you know fairy magic can cure everything, except a common cold.
01:22It's not a common cold. It's something serious and it needs sorting.
01:27All right, I'll try a little magic.
01:30Abra-ca-dabra!
01:34Achoo!
01:39Now I'm sneezing and I've got a stuffed-up nose.
01:43Sorry, but I told you magic wouldn't work.
01:46Perhaps you should see the elf doctor.
01:50Is that the elf doctor?
01:52Yes. The king is ill.
01:55Sneezing and a stuffed-up nose.
01:58I know, but he thinks it's serious.
02:01Thank you. Goodbye.
02:05You rest in bed, darling, and wait for the doctor.
02:10The doctor is here.
02:13That's just the wise old elf.
02:16I'm not just the wise old elf. I'm also a qualified doctor.
02:21Oh, I see. Well, doctor, I have got well.
02:25I keep sneezing, my nose is blocked up, and my head aches.
02:29I see. Could you open your mouth and stick your tongue out?
02:35Now look up, look down, and wiggle your feet.
02:42Now flap your arms like a bird and whistle.
02:49Interesting.
02:51At last, a thorough medical examination by a qualified doctor.
02:56What you have is a case of acute viral nasopharyngitis.
03:03Aha! You see? It is something bad.
03:07Otherwise known as the common cold.
03:11Is that all?
03:12No. You're grumpy as well.
03:17Well, doctor, can you make me better?
03:20Let me see what I've got.
03:24Ah, this should do the trick.
03:27Does it taste bad?
03:29Let's just say it doesn't taste good.
03:32I'm not having it.
03:33Daddy, we all have to have medicine when we're ill.
03:37Oh.
03:43That's interesting. I wasn't expecting that.
03:49Well, it does say cough mixture.
03:55I know a recipe that can cure all kinds of cold, whether they be common or not.
04:01Expanding hands, itchy ears, hairy teeth, smelly noses, baldness.
04:13Ah, here it is, the common cold.
04:18I just need to find the right ingredients.
04:21Can we help you, Nanny Plum?
04:23Of course.
04:25Er, Nanny Plum, what's in this medicine of yours?
04:29Oh, just blackberry juice, lemon and sugar and a few other things.
04:34Nanny, what other things do we need?
04:37Let's see. A dew drop from a spider's web.
04:41Ooh.
04:42The slime from a slug.
04:45Ooh.
04:46And a rot de grenouille.
04:49What's that?
04:51Frog burp.
04:52Ugh.
04:53You'll never get Daddy to drink that.
04:57Oh no, it would be most unfortunate if anyone were to drink this.
05:03This is a potion for rubbing on his feet.
05:07Ooh.
05:11Right, first we need a dew drop on a spider's web.
05:18Look, a dew drop.
05:20Stop, Holly.
05:22It's not a good idea to fly around Madam Spider.
05:26Why, Nanny?
05:27The flutter of our fairy wings is like a fly.
05:31And she likes to eat flies.
05:34Eat flies?
05:36Ugh.
05:37Shh.
05:38Yes, that's just what spiders do.
05:41You like to eat ice cream.
05:43Spiders like to eat flies.
05:45They have very smelly breath.
05:49Er, excuse me, Madam Spider.
05:54Could we possibly collect a dew drop from your lovely web here?
06:00It is to make some medicine for the king.
06:04Madam Spider says yes.
06:07I'll get the dew drop, Nanny.
06:09Elves are very good at climbing.
06:11And I'm an elf.
06:20Hooray!
06:24Very good.
06:25Now we need the slime from a slug.
06:32Look, a slug.
06:34Holly, perhaps you could do the asking this time.
06:38You might have to shout a little though, because slugs cannot hear very well.
06:44Why's that, Nanny?
06:46Because they have no ears.
06:48Can't we just take some slime from the ground?
06:51You can't go around collecting someone else's slime without asking them first.
06:55It's not polite.
06:59Hello, Mr Slug.
07:01Louder!
07:02Hello!
07:04Er, my daddy, the king, isn't well.
07:09We need some of your slime to make his medicine.
07:15Can we collect some in this jar, please?
07:22I think that means yes.
07:29Thank you ever so much.
07:32Well done, Holly.
07:34Let's check our list.
07:36A dew drop.
07:37Here, Nanny Plum.
07:39Slug slime.
07:40Here, Nanny Plum.
07:42Last of all, we need a frog burp.
07:45Hmm, this could be tricky.
07:51There's a frog, Nanny.
07:53Oh, good morning, Mr Frog.
07:57Would you be so good as to burp into this jar, please?
08:00Try and relax.
08:02That's it.
08:04Ugh, we haven't got all day.
08:07To make babies burp, you rub their backs.
08:10Okay, I'll rub the frog's back.
08:16I can hear something.
08:22Hooray!
08:24Back to the kitchen.
08:30Now, let's mix all the ingredients.
08:34Blackberry.
08:36Sugar.
08:38Lemon.
08:40Dew drop.
08:42Slug slime.
08:44And finally, frog burp.
08:52And now, the magic words.
08:55Sugar and spice.
08:57Glug, glug, glug.
08:58Burp of a frog.
09:00Slime of a slug.
09:02Ugh, that's going to taste horrible.
09:07No, Ben.
09:09Remember, it's a potion to rub on the feet, not to drink.
09:15Nobody would drink this.
09:21Oh, my.
09:23That is bad.
09:30That did taste disgusting.
09:33Daddy, you shouldn't have drunk it.
09:37You should have rubbed it on your feet.
09:40What?
09:41I wonder what will happen now.
09:43Let's see what the book says.
09:45Blah, blah, blah.
09:47Oh, dear.
09:48What is it?
09:49Silly me.
09:50It's not a recipe for cold medicine after all.
09:54It's a cure for baldness.
09:59But I must say, Your Majesty, long hair really does soothe you.
10:05Nanny Plum, I think my cold is gone.
10:09Hooray!
10:10Achoo!
10:12Oh, I seem to have caught the king's cold.
10:16Oh, poor Nanny Plum.
10:18Now I'm going to take personal charge of getting you better.
10:22Can we help too?
10:24Of course you can.
10:26The more, the merrier.
10:28Please, that's not necessary, Your Majesty.
10:32Oh, but it is.
10:34Achoo!
10:48Achoo!
10:53Achoo!
10:55Achoo!
