00:00Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles, is a little kingdom of elves and fairies.
00:10Everyone who lives here is very, very small.
00:15I'm Ben Elf.
00:18And I'm Princess Holly.
00:22Come on, let's play!
00:24Wait for us!
00:30Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom
00:36Today's adventure starts at the little castle.
00:43The Royal Fairy Picnic
00:48This is a perfect day for a Royal Fairy Picnic.
00:52Good idea, Queen Thistle.
00:53Hooray! I love picnics.
00:56Nanny Plum, prepare the Royal Picnic basket.
01:00Yes, Your Majesty. And will we be having magic jelly for pudding?
01:04Uh, maybe we should give the magic jelly a miss this year.
01:09But we always have magic jelly at the Royal Picnic.
01:12Well, if you promise not to flood the entire kingdom with jelly like last year.
01:18Trust me, Your Majesty, nothing will go wrong this time.
01:22Mummy, can Ben come on the picnic?
01:25But Holly, Ben is an elf.
01:27And this is a Royal Fairy Picnic.
01:30Please, can Ben come? He's my best friend.
01:34Well, I suppose, as is your best friend.
01:38Hooray! I'll ring him.
01:47Hello, Mrs. Elf speaking.
01:49Hello, Mrs. Elf. Can I speak to Ben, please?
01:53Right-o. Ben, it's Princess Holly. Hi, Holly.
01:58Hi, Ben. Would you like to come on the Royal Fairy Picnic today?
02:03Yes, please.
02:04Good. Come to the castle as quick as you can.
02:08Mum, I've been invited on the Royal Fairy Picnic.
02:12How lovely.
02:14You'll need plenty of food, so you have enough to share.
02:17What would you like?
02:19Um, pies, cheese, and some fruit, please.
02:23I'll put in a whole strawberry.
02:27Then you'll have enough for everyone.
02:29Thanks, Mum.
02:31Bye. See you later.
02:39Look, everyone. It's Ben.
02:42Hello, everyone.
02:43Ho-ho. This should be fun.
02:45We've never had an elf on our Royal Picnic before.
02:48Thanks for inviting me.
02:50That looks heavy. Can I help you carry it?
02:53Oh, thanks, Ben.
02:56Oh, but it's really light.
02:58It's a magic basket.
03:01Uh...
03:02Don't worry, Ben. You'll see.
03:12Look, it's Gaston the Ladybird.
03:15Hi, Gaston.
03:18Daddy, can Gaston join our picnic?
03:21Hmm, I'm not sure.
03:25What did he say?
03:27Nanny Plum can speak Ladybird language.
03:32Gaston says he would like the pleasure of joining Princess Holly and Ben Elf
03:36on the Royal Fairy Picnic, Your Majesty.
03:39Very well.
03:41It's just a pity he's a bit smelly.
03:45Nanny Plum, can you translate that?
03:48Yes, I can, but I'd rather not.
03:55Ah, here we are.
03:57The Royal Picnic Spot.
03:59Hooray!
04:03What's this?
04:04It's food for the picnic.
04:06You mean you actually bring food with you to a picnic?
04:10Uh, yes.
04:12It's probably some strange elf custom, Your Majesty.
04:16Ho ho, how charming.
04:19I've got plenty of food for everyone.
04:22Thanks, Ben.
04:23But fairies don't eat elf food.
04:26We have our own special fairy food.
04:29Here it is.
04:31Oh, but the basket is empty.
04:33You've forgotten your food.
04:37Silly, Ben.
04:38It isn't empty.
04:40It's a magic picnic basket.
04:43It can give us anything we want.
04:46Let's start with the drinks.
04:48I feel like some sparkling fairy juice.
04:51Magic basket oh so old.
04:54Let's have fairy juice.
04:56Sparkling and cold.
05:00Wow.
05:01Ho ho, yes, young elf.
05:03It is rather impressive.
05:05Ben, perhaps you would like to choose the drinks for the children.
05:09It can be anything you like.
05:12Anything?
05:13Can I really ask for anything?
05:16Yes, anything at all.
05:18Hmm, okay.
05:20Lemonade, please.
05:22Isn't that a bit boring and ordinary?
05:25Elves like lemonade.
05:27And I'm an elf.
05:30But Ben, you can have anything you like in the whole wide world.
05:36In that case, lemonade with a dollop of ice cream.
05:41Are you sure you wouldn't like something more exotic?
05:44Okay, lemonade with two dollops of ice cream.
05:49Good choice, Ben.
05:51Magic basket, please.
05:54Lemonade with lots of ice cream.
05:58Hooray.
06:01Thanks, Holly.
06:03Don't forget Gaston.
06:05Hmm, what do ladybirds like to drink?
06:09They like smelly things.
06:12That's right.
06:13By a ladybird's growl, may the next drink be foul.
06:22Nanny, you've made it too stinky, even for Gaston.
06:28Nonsense.
06:29Nonsense.
06:30Ladybirds love rotten cabbage juice.
06:36Now for the main course.
06:38Magic basket, please.
06:40Make us sandwiches with ham and cheese.
06:47And now for pudding.
06:49Hooray.
06:50Magic jelly.
06:52Uh, Nanny Plum, please don't make too much this time.
06:56We don't want a repeat of last year's jelly flood.
06:59What happened?
07:01Holly, Daisy and Poppy always help me make the pudding.
07:04But last year, we made a bit too much and we...
07:07Flooded the whole kingdom with jelly.
07:10I remember the jelly flood.
07:13Was that you?
07:15Yes, that was us.
07:18It was rather spectacular.
07:21But it's not going to happen again, is it, Nanny Plum?
07:25Don't worry, Your Majesty.
07:27We've been practising safe new words that keeps the quantity down.
07:31Come along, girls.
07:32Can I help too?
07:34Yes, Ben.
07:36Children, repeat after me.
07:38Magic basket, please.
07:41Jelly, jelly, but not a lot.
07:44Magic basket, please.
07:47Jelly, jelly, but not a lot.
07:52Hooray.
07:54Oh, they're a bit small.
07:57They are quite little, aren't they?
07:59Yes, we'll need more.
08:01Okay, let's try this.
08:04Basket, basket, more, more, more.
08:08Basket, basket, more, more, more.
08:17Phew.
08:18For a moment there, I thought we were going to have another jelly flood.
08:24Jelly flood, jelly flood, jelly flood.
08:31Jelly flood.
08:35Nanny, there's too much jelly.
08:38Stop it, Nanny.
08:39Shazam, shazing, magic pudding.
08:42Shring, shring, shring.
08:46Nanny, try a stronger spell.
08:49I could use the stop magic spell,
08:53but that's only for royal emergencies.
08:57I declare this a royal emergency.
09:00Thunder and lightning, north wind blow.
09:05Magic spells, away you go.
09:12It worked.
09:13Hooray.
09:15Nanny, where's our food?
09:18Sorry, I had to stop all the magic,
09:21and that included our magic picnic.
09:24That's strange.
09:26My food is still here.
09:28That's because it wasn't made by magic.
09:31And luckily, I've enough for everyone.
09:34Thank you, Ben.
09:36But Nanny, you said fairies don't eat elf food.
09:40Er, yes.
09:42Thank you for reminding me, Princess Holly.
09:45We can have a nice time without a picnic.
09:47Let's sit and enjoy the view.
09:52Mmm, yummy.
09:56I'm a bit hungry.
09:59Me too.
10:03Hmm, I don't believe I've ever eaten elf food before.
10:08Would you like to try some, King Thistle?
10:10Oh, thank you, Ben.
10:14Yum, yum.
10:15Mmm, elf food is delicious.
10:18It really is.
10:20Nanny Plum, you must try some.
10:23Very well, Your Majesty, seeing as it's a royal command.
10:27And here's another royal command.
10:30When you have a fairy picnic, always take an elf.
