Out Of Tune

Synopsis:
the Notes of the Piano are all set to have an enjoyable morning but someone has been playing too hard and they are now out of tune. When Ben and Sarah come in with their friends to find the reason for the noise, they are amazed to find the Notes out of the piano. they try to make music, singing a lively song with actions, but it is no good as the Notes get it all wrong. the Music Fairy appears and, with the assistance of her personal (and comic) Tuning Fork, the Notes are restored to their former harmony, so all ends happily.

Turn Of the Tide

Synopsis:
a storm is brewing when Big Sam takes a party of children on his boat to visit the lighthouse. On arrival they find it deserted but the weather forces them to spend the night there. Behind a door they discover a tunnel leading through gold mines to an ancient underground city, whose civilisation is a thousand years behind. the children are captured and then persuaded to introduce the citizens to twentieth century ideas - at first greeted eagerly but soon leading to unrest and dissatisfaction. they try to escape but are caught and sentenced to death. at the last minute flood-gates are opened and in the ensuing chaos they escape, taking back with them two friends from the city.

Watch This Space

Synopsis:
the children are preparing a float for Birchdale Village Carnival; it is to be a space ship and they are dressed as Space Invaders. In the same barn Professor Stroganoff is busy constructing what he fervently hopes will be a Time Machine. the children decide to hoax him into thinking that it works and that he has landed on another planet. He is almost taken in - but the practical joke is interrupted by the bombastic entrance of the Mayoress, a bossy dragon with her comic husband Hercules, a henpecked mouse. She threatens to drop the children from the Carnival parade, bullies her husband and insults the Professor and his invention. In return, he persuades her inside the Time Machine, which succeeds in transporting both of them, not to another century but into the village duck pond. Lessons are learnt and all ends well!
