Tickets.

Tickets, please. Enjoy yourselves.

Tickets. Yeah, go on. Front's all right.

Oh, one sec, sorry.

All right, son! How are you?

What? They did? Oh! Oh, result!

Ah, sweet, yeah. Yeah, hang on a sec.

Oi!

Where do you think you're going, kid?

To the airport, sir.

Will there be a movie on board?

Huh!

So what was the plan then, when you got to the airport?

Stowaway in someone's luggage?

Oi!

Stop running!

Oh!

Where are ya?

No, not now!

Charlie!

Look at me, not the plant.

I know you think your mum's in America.

Hollywood.

Yeah.

But if we can't find her in three years,

what makes you think you can?

She's probably just busy acting in some big movie.

I bet she has to stay in character, so she can't call anyone.

N-No doubt.

Anyway...

Anyway,

I am pleased to tell you

that I have got some good news for you, Charlie.

- You've found my mum? - No!

But

I have found out your real surname.

What do you mean? My surname's Monroe.

Your mum changed her name to Monroe when you were a baby.

I think she wanted to sound more like a movie star.

If that's not my real name, then what is?

On, no!

Oh, you giant heap of donkey dung!

Boris!

Boris!

Please, don't get up.

You didn't hear me yelling?

- No! - That tyre's got a puncture.

I'm on my lunch break anyway.

It's 10:30.

All right, I'm coming! Move!

It's like she doesn't care.

Hello?

Yes.

Polly Little's my sister. I haven't spoken to her in 15 years.

Whatever trouble she's in is her business.

A what?

Where are you off to?

The city.

Someone die?

Worse.

Whoa!

Thank you so much for coming.

I mean, took a while to track you down

but we got there in the end.

What did you say her name was?

Charlie, is it true that your mum's in movies?

She's the next Wonder Woman.

Is she... you know, house trained?

Charlie's very, er

spirited.

Gifted.

All she ever does is talk rubbish.

Do you know what I think? Your mum, she just didn't want you.

She's a very nice young woman.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

- Fight! Fight! - Charlie!

Charlie.

Smile.

Didn't know I had an aunt.

That makes two of us.

What if my mum comes back for me?

She knows where to find me.

That's Toby. He doesn't much like strangers.

Don't know what you're used to but I go to bed early.

Work starts before dawn this time of year.

After dinner I like to watch the weather forecast if you

I think I'll go to bed.

Stairs would be safer.

It's not exactly how I planned my day going either, you know.

You only came and got me so you'd have someone

to work on your farm for free.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

First thing I thought when I saw you was,

there's a kid who looks like she knows how to deworm a chicken.

I came to get you because, unlike some other members of our family,

I don't shirk my responsibilities.

If you decide to leave, just use the front door.

Rise and shine.

It's still dark.

Not for much longer.

Who's that?

Hold on. No, wait.

If you're replacing me, you can't, 'cause that's a child.

- That's child lab our... - Boris, this is my niece, Charlie.

All right.

Charlie, this is Boris.

He's an imbecile, which is ironic really,

'cause he'll be showing you what to do while I sort out the tractor

he failed to fix yesterday!

Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.

Ooh!

Start her with something easy.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, no bother.

I can do that.

Is this safe?

Yeah! Safe enough.

Erm, what's in it?

Science stuff. Oh, who cares?

Tractor's bust, so we're gonna have to go manual.

Start at the top of the field

and then spray weed killer all down the different rows.

And then, do the polytunnels.

Go on then, off you pop.

And what are you doing?

Supervising.

What have you done?

Oh, you didn't take the hood off, did you?

Oh, come on. Come on, up you get.

Upsy-daisy.

It felt like somebody was spraying it in my face.

- Boris! - Hold on, that is not my fault.

Right, I gave her the full safety briefing so, you know...

- You all right? - Yeah.

I'm... fine.

You weren't going to get her to do the spraying, were you?

No, no, no, course not. I was just, sort of,

you know, showing her what not to do.

Well, not working is your speciality, I suppose.

Charlie, I've signed you up for school

so we need to go into town to pick up some things.

Thank you for all you've taught me, Boris!

And I want the whole field sprayed by the time I'm back.

What is in that?!

Pumpkin, pumpkin.

You're gonna kill me Pumpkin, pumpkin...

Who are the Smythe-Gherkins?

Loony neighbours.

Stay away from there.

I need you to feel me.

Pumpkin, pumpkin.

La-la-la-la-la-la.

Pumpkin pie! This way, please.

Treat your tastebuds to a good meal!

Come on, sir, don't be afraid. The pumpkin pies are that way.

It's big and it's round, pumpkins!

It's mine, give it back! Give me the pumpkin!

No way! It's my pumpkin!

- It's my pumpkin! - Get your pumpkins here!

Have you ever seen such wonderful pumpkins?

Many perfect pumpkins!

That is the best pumpkin pie I've ever had in my life!

Get all your pumpkins here!

Get another one!

- You get another one! - No, I saw it first!

Pumpkins here! Come and get 'em!

What is it with this place and pumpkins?

Don't get me started.

You think it's barmy now, just you wait till the autumn

when Mugford Pumpkinfest kicks off.

You don't like pumpkins then?

That's putting it lightly.

Why?

Got my reasons.

Anyway, where exactly were you running away to last night?

I want to find my mum.

She left you, remember?

That's what Polly's always done.

Leave.

She had to if she was going to make it in Hollywood.

You can't take a little kid to auditions.

But I'm older now and I can look after myself.

When I find her, she'll see that.

Then we can stay together.

It won't be cheap.

You're talking, plane ticket to America,

hotel bills.

You'll need to hire a private detective

to find her, I should think.

That's big bucks.

I can't believe how much stuff kids need for school these days.

What... It's not like they even teach you anything useful.

What is a protractor anyway?

Compass?

Calculator!

In my day, you used your brain and your fingers.

A hundred grand.

I could get a new combine harvester for that.

And a robot to work it.

Yeah, don't get too excited, Ned.
