Tickets.

Tickets, please.

Next, please. Tickets.

Yeah, all good for that.

Oh. One sec, sorry.

Alright, son?

How are we?

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 onboard?

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

Stow away in someone's luggage?

Oi!

Stop running!

Where are ya?

No, not now.

Charlie!

Look at me, not the plant.

Right, 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.

No doubt.

Anyway!

Anyway...

I am pleased to tell you

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

You 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?

Argh, no!

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.

Oh, look, I'm on me lunch break anyway.

It's 10:30.

Alright! 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 you off to?

The City.

Someone die?

Worse.

Woah!

Thank you so much for coming. Mmm.

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.

You know what I think?

Your mum, she just didn't want you.

She is a very nice young woman.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Charlie!

Ooooh...

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-

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 do 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 cos that's a child, that's child labour-

Boris, this is my niece.

Charlie.

Alright.

Charlie, this is Boris.

He's an imbecile.

Which is ironic, really, cos 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?

Yeahhh... Safe enough.

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 the weed killer all down the different rows.

And then, do the polytunnels.

Go on, then. Off you pop.

What are you doing?

Supervisin'.

What have you done?

Ooh, you didn't take the hood off, did ya?

Ooh, God. Alright, up you get.

Ah, oopsie daisy.

It felt like someone was spraying it in my face.

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

Alright? I gave her the full safety briefing.

So, you know-You alright?

Yeah... I'm... fine.

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

No, no, no, of 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?!

Argh!

Pumpkin ♪ ♪ Pumpkin, Pumpkin

Who are the Smythe-Gherkins? Loony neighbours.

Pumpkin pie this way! Please, treat your tastebuds to a good meal.

Come on, sir, don't be afraid. 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 mine!

Get your pumpkins here!

I've never seen such wonderful pumpkins!

Penny's Perfect Pumpkins!

..best pumpkin pie I've ever had.

Smaller pumpkins here!

Get another one!

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

What is it with this place and pumpkins?

Don't get me started.

You think it's barmy now,

just you wait 'til 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?

It's what Polly's always done...

Leave.

She had to if she was going to make it into 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.

Won't be cheap.

You're talking...

plane ticket to America, hotel bills...

You 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.

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

What is a pro-tractor 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.Mm-hmm.

And a robot to work it.

Yeah, don't get too excited, Ned.

Noone's ever broken the one tonne barrier.

It's just free advertising for the sponsors.

No, no, no. You wait.

I've already started growing a giant this year.

May as well write me the cheque now, eh? Oh.

I'm sure the Smythe-Gherkins will be shaking in their boots, Ned.

The one I've got growing up in the allotment

will give you a run for your money.

Oh, declined. Sorry, Dinah.

Oh.

Lovely. Thank you.

Nope. Same.

How's things at the farm?

Still tough?

We're doing fine, thanks.

OK...

Oh, phew!

Accepted! Phew!

There we go.

You doing anything nice today?

No?

Bye...

Who's next?

Charlie! Let's go.

Gotta buy you school shoes.

Which probably means me selling a kidney or two.

Oh, hello.

Are you cold?

I'll get you warmer.

Whatever you're selling, we're not interested.

Goodbye. Wait!

I'm not selling anything.

I'm Charlie Little from next door.

Dinah's niece.

Why didn't you say so?

Come in!

This is my husband,

Lord Sinclair Smythe-Gherkin.

I'm Lady Veronica.

And you, Charlotte Little, are most welcome.

Sit!

It's just Charlie.

No, I don't think so.

Nicknames are for horses.

Horses!

Are you about to have a party?

Oh, no. This! This is high tea.

How is your darling aunt?

I do hope she's well.

Must be so hard running that farm all by herself,

even though it is so very, very small.

She's OK.

I mean, I think it's hard.

She always seems a bit tired and grumpy.

Mmm!

Mmm.

That the guy with the statue in town?

Yes.

This is the great Lord Reginald Smythe-Gherkin.

The first gentleman to bring a pumpkin into the United Kingdom.

Some say he had a special ability

to communicate with all manner of plants and vegetables.

Really? Indeed.

Which may account for his phenomenal success

in the art of pumpkin rearing.

A talent passed down through the generations.

Come.

By autumn, these fields will be heaving

with the largest pumpkins you've ever seen.

Come.

Smythe-Gherkins have won the Heaviest Pumpkin Contest

every year for the last 50 years.

What about 2010?

Did someone else win that year?

Some... cake?

No, thanks.

I came to ask for some advice, actually.

I want to grow a pumpkin for the competition too.

So, I was hoping I could maybe get some... tips?

You want to steal our secrets?

What?

No.

I just need some advice.

Secret stealer!

Never darken our door again!

Release the hounds!

Oh. We haven't got any, darling. Oh, yes.

Come on, let's get back to our game.

I'm coming to get you! Oh, I hope so!

There's got to be someone in this crazy town who will help me.

What you having for lunch?

I brought some pumpkin.

Hi!

Excuse me?

Excuse me, Officer.

Is there anyone who doesn't mind

sharing their pumpkin-growing secrets?

Get her, Margaret!

"Control to all units."

Yeah, sure. I'm gonna tell you all the secrets of pumpkinry

Pfft!

When you said people here were mad for pumpkins,

I didn't know you meant, like, psycho mad.

Well...

I suppose you don't really know someone

until you've asked them for gardening tips.

Why didn't you come to me first?

I thought you'd say no.

You thought right.

Pumpkins, Charlie?

Why do you wanna be bothered with all of that?

You're the one who said I'd need cash to find mum.

The prize money?

That contest has got a lot to answer for.

I don't wanna have anything to do with it.

That's my dad.

He started entering the pumpkin growing contest

when I was about your age.

It became an obsession.

And after a while,

he completely forgot about the rest of the farm,

until we nearly lost it all.

The stress of it killed him in the end.

Same with my mum.

Leaving yours truly to pick up the pieces,

and try to get this place back on its feet.

Did he...

...Grandad...

...ever win the contest?

Never even made the top three.

I'm telling you, Charlie, it's a waste of time.

The Smythe-Gherkins always win anyway.

What about 2010?

They didn't win then.

Who did win that year?

Maybe they could help me.

How do you know this guy again?

Arlo?

Dinah Little.

Well, well, well.

Only knew it was a matter of time before you came, er...

knockin' on my door.

Well, I'm sorry, my darling, but that ship has sailed.

Oh, no. Please, God.

That ain't mine, is it?

We snogged once at a school disco, Arlo.

Ahh, but what a snog, eh?

That connection, that magic. You can't fake that.

This is my niece, Charlie.

She's thinking of entering the pumpkin contest, wanted a few tips.

Well, that's that.

Wait.

You wanted this.

Woah!

I'm done with the whole veg growing thing.

I've got bigger fish to fry now.

Like what? Hmm

How about saving the Planet Earth, hmm?!

In case you haven't noticed, the entire world is out of whack!

Besides, even if I wasn't busy,

I, er...

I wouldn't go back there.

It's just a pumpkin growing competition.

Not in this town, kid.

This ain't some grow your own salad school project.

This is all-out, gardening-gloves-off, vegetable warfare!

Arlo, give it a rest, yeah?

She just wants some pointers. Just for fun.

Not just for fun!

I'm going to win.

What'd you say? You're gonna win?

Hey! D'you hear that, fellas? A first timer, huh?

What you gonna do? Wave your magic wand?

No! With...

With what, Charlie?

Alright.

This'll sound mad.

And I can't really explain it.

But as far back as I can remember...

...every time I touch a plant...

...something... odd happens.

I- I used to be scared of it.

But... since I came here...

...I think I'm starting to understand.

It's like I can... feel what they're feeling.

You know?

No.

Charlie, I know you want Arlo's help,

but you can't just make stuff up!

I'm not!

Like...

This one. Hey, hey, hey!

Too hot. No!

No! Wait, wait, wait.

And...

This one.

This one's lonely.

Lonely. Not lonely, it's got me!

Aaand...

This one.

Hey, stop!

Aphelandra squarrosa.

The zebra plant.

Tough to grow.

Even tougher to make flower.

There's no flower.

Yeah, I know that!

That's why... I'm working on it.

She was kind of...

...bored?

People think I'm weird.

Can't believe you used to go out with that.

It's a small town, OK? There wasn't exactly much choice.

Listen...

Maybe it's for the best.

You start school tomorrow.

Forget all this pumpkin nonsense,

and concentrate on making some new friends.

Can I sit here?

You mind?

How's your day going?

At least you didn't have an hour of algebra.

Guessing you're, what, about... 200 years old?

I'm only 11, actually.

But I won't take it personally.

You're Charlie Little from Dinah's farm.

No offence, but I'm not looking to make friends.

I'm only here 'til fall.

Don't wanna miss Mugford PumpkinFest, huh?

No.

Well... Yeah.

I'm going to win the contest,

then I'm going to join my mum in the States.

Impressive.

My dad's gonna be disappointed though.

He's entering the contest too.

Maybe tell him not to bother this year then.

He's got a big team helping him.

You got much of a team?

I'm working on it.

Morning, gang!

Sweet Monty Don!

We're gonna need a spade.

And we're gonna need a load of good soil.

Let's go!

Come on!

Mmm.

I don't know.

I've seen more life in a bale of hay than this lot.

What is it?

It's kale.

Used to make us a decent return.

Now it seems to be struggling more every year.

Ooh.

Go on, then, Sensei.

Let's see what your magical green fingers feel!

Seriously? Shh!

Let Chazzer focus.

Nothing.

It's weird...

Like the earth has just gone...

...quiet.

I don't know.

Maybe I've lost it.

No. No, you're bang on.

If you can't hear anything,

it's cos of that evil muck you're spraying on it.

Sure, it works at first, but over time,

it just sucks the goodness right out of the soil.

It's no wonder you couldn't hear anything.

You like that? Bit noisier?

Deafening.

So, I've got these.

What do you think? Aha! Oh, yeah, right.

Bye!

What are you doing?! Arlo, you are such a drama queen.

They are nothing but factory farmed rubbish!

Which you are paying the shop back for, by the way, Charlie.

But these...

Get all of this stuff out the way...

Look.

These are descended from greatness,

harvested from my own prize-winning pumpkin, Dinah.

Delilah.

I- Let's just choose one, shall we?

Just one? Isn't that a bit of a gamble?

Yeah, you know... You gotta grow hard or go home.

Fine. Well... That one, obviously.

Just-Let's see what Charlie thinks of 'em.

This one.

That little thing?

Feels different to all the others.

Like it's got all this power just waiting to bust out.

Oh, I love it.

You two.

Come on, then.

I'm relying on you.

Good luck.

Aww.

And now we must show our commitment to the new life that we are creating

by having a wee on it.

Oh! That is enough crazy for one day, thank you very much.

It's alright, Chazzer. You can add yours later!

What you working on?

Looking at our yields for the last few years.

Arlo might be a ridiculous nutter,

but he's right about one thing.

The more chemicals we spray, the less we seem to harvest.

It felt like I was choking when I used that weed killer.

You really think plants feel things like us, don't you?

Yeah. I do.

Well, don't get your hopes up too much.

What Arlo hasn't told you is he only won that year

cos the Smythe-Gherkins' pumpkin got sat on by a horse.

Hurry up.

Come on!

Grow!

Why aren't you growing?

You gotta chill out, my little earthworm.

So, now we just... what? Wait until fall?

That's a joke, right? This is where the hard work begins.

Welly... Toaster...

Er...

Ah! Right...

Got our special pumpkin mix.

Oooh.

Come on, earthworm.

Ahh. Ahh.

No way.

Plants are sensitive. I shouldn't have to tell you this, you know.

It'll pick up on our good vibes!

Or totally die of embarrassment. Right.

You wanna get out of here, right?

You wanna win that cabbage?

You wanna win that sweet, sweet cheddar?

You wanna find your mum?

Then dance.

Ohhh. Love that rhythm.

Oh, yeah.

Ahh. You like that?

Alright.

Come on.

Is that all you got? Hey!

You gotta work it, earthworm.

Yar!

Woo. Ugh.

Hey. Hey, come over! Woo!

Uh-uh.

No.

Come and have a dance!

No.

Come on! Woooo!

You old stick in the mud!

Oh, yah!

Yeah! I like that.

Woo!

Hey, don't step on him.

Chazzer!

OK.

Annual farm meeting.

Oh, it's, er, it's not one of them employee review things, is it?

Lucky for you, no.

Oh, great.

But I have made some decisions about the direction of the farm.

Oh, yeah?

It's time we thought about doing something differently around here.

We're gonna go organic.

Are we? You know, compost...

green manure, companion farming.

No more chemicals.

Re-wilding. Weeding by hand.

You know this is all just a trendy fad?

It isn't.

Haven't you noticed there's hardly any birds here any more?

Farm used to be teeming with them when I was a kid.

Birds eat crops. Who cares?

Aunt Dinah! Aunt Dinah!

We'll pick this up later.

In fact, no. We won't.

This isn't a debate.

Hello, little fella.

You know what this means now, don't ya?

It's time to give him a name.

Or her.

Sorry, it's a he.

Alright, fine. Well, call him Bob.

Can I get back to work now?

He doesn't like Bob. Yeah, he doesn't like Bob.

Er, I know... Wh-What about Steve?

Sorry, that's a no.

Tony? No.

Harry? No.

Barry. No.

Larry? No.

Gary. No.

Hieronymus? Who would like

to be called Hieronymus? Nobody.

George. No.

Daryl? No.

Lee? No.

Tom! Just stop!

He doesn't like any of them. Oh, for Pete's sake.

This is hopeless!

Wait. That's it.

Hopeless?

It's funny, but I don't hate it.

No! Pete.

Ah. Wait...

Peter.

He likes it. He's called Peter.

Peter. Finally.

There's something else.

Peter's hungry. Hungry for lion poo.

That sounds pretty expensive.

Who said anything about paying for it?

I got a plop dealer.

He's a big gun. Hmm.

Come on. Eww.

Did your friend ask why we wanted so much lion dung?

I didn't speak to him.

You didn't talk to the friend who was gonna arrange

for the lions to be inside?

I left a message.

Eh, he'll pick it up.

You know, I find one gets used to the smell quite quickly.

It's actually quite nice, isn't it? In the car. Now.

Where you goin'? Charlie!

Guys, relax!

I used to visit all the time when they were cubs,

they're bound to remember me.

They did not remember me!

My car's never gonna smell the same again,

so I hope you appreciate this.

Can't believe I'm talking to a pumpkin.

Oh, dear.

I hear you've gone orgasmic.

You what?

Up at the farm.

Organic.

Yeah.

How's that working out for you, then?

Well, better to do the right thing than the easy thing, I say.

I'm sure it'll pay off.

Eventually.

Hi, Charlie. Having a fun summer?

Um... Yeah, I guess.

How's your pumpkin doing?

Think it's a record breaker?

Of course it is.

I asked my Dad,

he said you could come to his lab any time, if you want to see his.

I'm a bit busy on the farm-

Oh, I think we can let you take half a day off.

As long as you make it back up.

I'm Dinah.

You're Don Gregory's boy, aren't you?

Oliver. Pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet you.

Well, go on, Charlie.

Besides, it can't hurt to,

you know, check out the competition.

Can we go today?

I have to say, Glen, it's going very well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I fully expect to win that competition,

and bring the glorious sunshine that is free publicity

basking down onto all of us here at Gargana.

Dad?

Yeah. Well, I mean, of course. I'd stake my career on it.

No. no. I would. I would stake my career on it.

Yes. Dad?

Eh-deh-deh! Don't do that.

Yeah. Er, no, no.

I- Look... I won't let you down, Glen.

Er, Glen?

What have I told you about interrupting me when I'm at work?

You're always at work.

Ooh, Glen! Are you still there? Erm-No, not you. Erm, the-

Glen?

Pumpkins.

This is it. The JX8.

It's the result of years of research

into the science of ultra-potent fertilisers.

We've been working on reducing the effects of gravity on the JX8.

The JX6 and JX7 collapsed under their own weight.

It was not a pretty sight, I can tell you. Blagh!

Doesn't it need sunlight? Of course!

But the sun is undependable.

In August and September, it's only available 14-15 hours a day.

We've improved on it.

You... have IMPROVED... on the sun?

Oh, yes, indeedy-do-do.

Kevin?

Right here, Mr Gregory. Ooh!

Engage Gargasun!

"Gargasun initialising.

Apply protective eye wear immediately."

"Gargasun starting in three, two, one."

Erm, yep.

It's off right now because

we've been collecting our daily core samples from the JX8.

Charlie's growing one for the contest too.

Awww, isn't that adorable?

Arlo's helping her.

2010 winner, Arlo?

Who talks to her?

Ooh. Er. Let me have a think.

Erm... Ooh... No one.

Maybe you should.

What's wrong?

Er... Don't touch the subject!

Oliver, if your friend can't behave, she'll have to leave.

What you're doing here is totally barbaric and should be stopped!

No! Oh! Kevin!

"Warning. Pumpkin unstable." Kevin, get her! Stop!

No. No. No, no, no, no.

Mr Gregory! Mr Gregory! Kevin!

Get her out! Get her out!

Wow, she is really strong.

I'm sorry.

It's just...

How would you feel being hooked up to all those machines,

being poked and prodded and never seeing sunlight?

I suppose I wouldn't like it.

But... I'm not a plant, Charlie.

Don't you believe that plants can feel?

I just can't imagine treating Peter like that.

Who's Peter?

Yes. If Arlo thinks it's worth talking to them...

Erm, Kevin? Ooh!

Kevin, talk to her...

it...

You know what I mean.

Er, M-Mr Gr-Talk to...?

You know, I'm, er...

I'm a Cambridge graduate.

Not a lot of ladies can pull off orange.

W- What's a gourd like you doing in a lab like this?

Stupid.

Course she didn't answer.

Boris, there's no easy way to say this.

I'm gonna have to let you go.

Haha. Sorry.

But I'm serious.

I've run the numbers and I can keep you on for a month or so-

Hold on. But you know that I've been let go

from every other farm in the county.

That's why I'm prepared to work for peanuts for you!

This farm has been in your family for generations, right?

And you're just gonna, like, throw all that away

because Charlie wants to grow a little pumpkin?

No, behave! This place has been on the slide

long before she arrived. You know that.

Why don't you just send her back

to the foster home or wherever she came from?

Let someone else deal with the little brat.

I want you out of here. Now. Today.

What? I'll pay you two weeks' severance pay,

but I don't ever wanna see you again.

A month.

Cash.

Otherwise, I ain't leaving.

Fine.

Ooh-hoo-hoo It's full of salt.

It's for scaring off the crows. What are you gonna do?

You wanna see what salt feels like,

fired at point-blank range into your big, fat, lazy backside?

Come try me.

Oliver, this is Peter.

Peter, this is Oliver.

He's huge.

He's growing fast.

But he's still not as big as your dad's.

I wonder how the Smythe-Gherkins are getting on.

It's a giant.

We're stuffed.

They must use some special fertiliser.

We could ask them.

I do not recommend that.

Charlie.

Just wanna get a closer look.

"Warning. Ruffians detected.

Defence system activated."

"Warning. Scallywags in the area."

Warning.

Reprobates detected." It's a trap. Run!

Amateurs.

I don't approve of setting bees on people,

but you shouldn't have been trespassing.

We just wanted to see how big it was.

Why?

The contest isn't for the biggest,

it's for the heaviest.

I've seen small pumpkins with thick rinds

outweigh giants that were practically hollow.

It doesn't matter what the surface looks like.

What's inside is what makes a champion.

But everybody else has special tricks and technology...

If you waste all your time worrying about what other people are doing,

you'll never accomplish anything yourself.

You should marry him.

Anyway...

I don't want you two going near anyone else's pumpkins.

Folks around here are, well...

irrational about them.

There's no telling what they might do.

It's a scorcher today, Marge.

Let's get you cooled down.

I'll see you after my shift.

You grow big now.

I'm so sorry, Russ.

It's hard when they split on you.

Large Marge didn't split.

It's too early in the season. She wasn't big enough!

No.

She was murdered.

Steady on, mate.

There's always next year's.

Which one of you was it, hey? Oh. Hey, hey.

I'll arrest you!

I'll arrest ALL OF YOU!

Steady. Steady.

Calm, calm, calm. Shhh.

Nothing to see here.

It's your first and last warning!

One more millimetre, it would've been curtains.

This means war. We have to post a guard around the clock.

From now on, we are on a war footing.

I'll sleep outside with him. That's ridiculous.

Nothing is ridiculous in war.

Will you stop saying war?

Sorry, sorry.

I'll keep Toby with me. Fine.

But if it rains, you come inside.

Your new school term starts tomorrow.

I'll take day watch.

Thanks, Arlo.

You know what this means, don't ya?

It means they're taking you seriously as a competitor.

Really? Yar.

Ned and Russell left a power vacuum.

The rest of the pack's fallen away,

which leaves Gargana, the Smythe-Gherkins...

..and you.

On that note, I wanted to let you know that I've made a decision

to sell off the back stretch of land by the stream.

Because we made you go organic?

Because I choose to.

I just wanted you to hear it from me instead of those crazies in town.

Excuse me, I... I have some errands.

Going...

Going!

Going...

And... sold!

To Mr Gregory from the Gargana Fertiliser company.

Thank you very much for coming.

Please...

Leave.

So, Ms Little, if I could, er...

trouble you to sign this, we're all finished.

I use to catch frogs in this stream when I was a little kid.

Aww, how lovely.

I'm sure it'll be just as pretty after we divert it.

Excuse me?

Oh!

Here are the plans.

Yes, we're gonna build a water feature outside the lab.

A waterfall, koi pond...

It'll be terrific morale for the staff.

But this will bypass my land.

I rely on this stream for irrigation water.

Ooh.

You're doing this because of the pumpkin contest.

Bit paranoid.

But yes.

I need to win that competition to keep my job. It's nothing personal.

How is Oliver such a wonderful child with you as an example?

I could be persuaded to change my mind about the stream,

if say, you dropped out of the pumpkin contest.

And I'll add £50,000 to the purchase price of the land.

Charlie need know nothing about it.

The pumpkin could meet a seemingly natural end.

Get off my property, Mr Gregory.

Ooh. Sorry to say, actually...

You're now on... on my property.

It's... You just signed that there.

Not long now, Peter.

We really have to win this.

I'm counting on you.

Cor! It's huge!

Is there anything else I could do to help?

Not as big as the JX8, but still...

Look, weight's all in the rind.

It could still be heavier than ours.

W- What's happening now?

What...?

She's... dancing.

Dancing? Yes.

Bailando Despacito ♪

Sort of the Macarena crossed with classic disco...

Kevin?

Yep, yes.

Yes, Mr Gregory. I know what I must do.

♪ Yo quiero bailar contigo

♪ Yo quiero salir contigo

♪ Y bailando despacito

♪ Estoy loco, lo- ♪

Sorry, Oliver. I've been so distracted.

I promise you,

once this competition is out of the way, things will get better.

Mm-hmm.

So, Charlie's pumpkin's getting pretty big.

I- I hear...

Yeah, she's really going for it.

Oh, really? That's interesting. I wonder why.

She wants the prize money, so she can go find her mum.

Is that right?

What did she tell you about her?

Don't worry, Peter.

I'll never let anything bad happen to you.

I'll look after you 'til you're fully grown.

Promise.

Charlie!

Come inside, sweetheart, or you'll catch a cold!

He say anything interesting?

He doesn't really talk...

It's hard to explain.

Can you try?

It's more like I... pick up his emotions.

He's gonna do all he can to win.

He knows how important it is.

Well, I don't know whether this thing of yours is real or not.

But I do know you've taken good care of him.

And I've gotta be extra careful tomorrow.

You know what some people like to do to pumpkins on Halloween.

I'm gonna stay and watch Peter all day and all night.

Ooh, you won't miss going trick or treating?

Nah. Never been.

Never?

Your mum didn't- She always had a party to be at.

Same when we were kids.

But you must've gone trick or treating?

Well, no.

But only because I was too busy here helping Mum and Dad.

Halloween was always big for the farm.

When we grew pumpkins, that is.

If I get Arlo to watch Peter tomorrow night...

...will you go trick or treating with me?

Hey! Hurry up!

Or all the good sweets'll be hoovered up.

What you doin'?! Didn't mean to scare you.

I weren't scared.

I was just surprised. Yeah. Totally.

The name's Bond.

Jane Bond.

Oh.

You look cool, Aunt Dinah.

Thanks.

Go on. Go on, you two, have fun.

Don't worry about Peter. Me and him are on patrol, ain't we Tobes?

He says "yeah" in dog.

You ready?

Let's do it.

I've been thinking...

How would you feel about making this whole thing official?

I mean, if you wanted...

...I could adopt- Oh-my-God-oh-my-God!

Charlie!

Mum? Oh my God!

Ahh!

I went to the care home to look for you, but you weren't there.

I've been staying with Aunt Dinah.

Dinah.

Polly.

Don't you worry, baby girl.

Mum's here now.

I won't ever leave you ever again.

I don't even know why we're having this conversation.

She's my daughter, and I'm taking her back!

End of story!

You gave up the right to Charlie when you just upped and left!

I had to sort myself out!

And I have!

I'm a vegan now. Oh my God!

I've got this new wellness routine and it's transformed my breathing.

Well congratulations for learning how to breathe!

That is just like you!

Whenever I do something to better myself,

you have to put it down.

It's not my fault you're still stuck here.

This isn't about me.

And it isn't about you.

It's about Charlie, and what's best for her!

What's best for her is to be with her mother!

We have a connection you couldn't ever understand.

And I've got Gaz now,

a proper father figure for Charlie.

Is this off? I can never tell.

Shut up!

Oliver!

Oliver!

I told you never to come here.

Chill out, nobody saw me.

So, what's the situation?

Well... The Middlebury's pumpkin bit the dust tonight.

And I chucked a few cans about, you know,

make it look like some teenagers were pulling a Halloween prank.

Excellent. Oh! Also...

Word on the street is, no one's got one the size of yours,

except maybe the Smythe-Gherkins,

and maybe... Dinah Little.

Ah. Don't you worry about Dinah Little. I've taken care of her.

I offered her fifty grand to drop out of the contest.

Enough to save her farm.

But would you belie-

What?

Hello, Kevin? "Mr Gregory! Lab! Toilet roll!"

What? "Teenagers! It's everywhere!"

Oh, for goodness sake! "Yep, you should-"

I- I'll be right there. Alright, Kevin. Love you.

"Bye. Love you too."

Someone has toilet papered the laboratory.

I've gotta get down there

to make sure that security isn't compromised.

Dinah take the pay off, then?

No, she didn't! Can you believe it?

But, er... I've made other arrangements.

Ah.

I'm done arguing.

I'll see you in court if I have to.

Fine. I'll see you there.

Did either of you think to ask me what I want?

Charlie, you're too young to know what you want.

I want to go with you.

See, Dinah?

It's not about us.

It's about her.

Charlie...

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Can I ask why?

She's my mum.

You're not.

Come on, sweetheart.

Let's get your things.

We're leaving.

It's n-It's nice cheese.

Well, this is it.

A brand new start!

Are you excited?

Where are we going?

LA, Baby!

I can't believe I'm finally going to Hollywood!

I thought that's where you'd been for the last three years?

Well, yeah, sweetie, that was always the plan.

And now I've come into a bit of money,

it can happen for real this time.

Anyway, no more child labour for you,

getting muddy on some stupid farm.

Let's go.

Left?

But the contest is less than a week away!

She didn't even say goodbye.

It was her decision.

She wanted to go with her mother.

Did you try to change her mind?

I made Charlie a promise...

...that I would help her win that contest.

It is a promise I intend to keep.

You can help or not, it's up to you.

Mmm.

Well, he's already developing a fungal infection.

It's as if he misses Chazzer.

We do what we can.

Right.

Dad, are you here?

We need some pumpkin medicine for Peter-

With Dinah and the kid out the way,

your only real competition are the Smythe-Gherkins.

Their pumpkin's well guarded, but I can get to it.

Good. Good. Remember, no one gets hurt.

Do I look like that kind of fella to you?

I've told you, Boris. Don't come to my house,

and don't come to my lab! If anyone knew-

Knew what, Dad?

That you've had Boris sabotage the other pumpkins?

Now, calm down. You don't understand-

Oh, I think I do, actually.

Charlie's mum didn't just come back, did she?

You arranged it, just to get rid of her.

Maybe I did, but you said yourself that Charlie wanted to find her mum.

Boris told me that her mum wanted her back but couldn't afford it.

You paid Charlie's mum to take her?!

Boris lied to you.

Charlie left a home where they loved her for a place where they don't.

And it's all your fault.

Oliver...

Our nice house, our nice clothes, your uni fund...

they cost money.

I need this job.

And to keep this job, I need to win this competition.

Don't you see? I did it for you!

You ruined Charlie's life... because of me?!

She was my friend.

The first really good friend I've ever had.

And now she's gone, because of you.

Well, I'm sorry, Oliver.

Where's Charlie now?

Have you found me a new school to go to?

School?!

When we get to LA, I mean.

They'll be plenty of time for that, Charlie.

I reckon we should have a holiday first.

Ooh!

How about a road trip to Las Vegas?

Vegas, baby!

Shouldn't we call Aunt Dinah and tell her we got to the airport hotel OK?

I don't want you speaking to her anymore.

Why don't you get me my purse?

I seen a vending machine in reception.

Why don't you get yourself some chocolate?

Mmm?

As much as you want.

There.

Come on, babe.

Don't let it get cold.

Yeah.

On behalf of Gargana Laboratories,

I'd like to extend our sincerest apologies for what has transpired.

Ooh.

And I'm sorry too, Dinah.

Their flight's in three hours.

Barely enough time to get to the city, let alone-

You could always take my very fast car?

Mr Gregory.

Your dad's actually not that bad, Oliver.

What about Boris?

He'll still be out there smashing pumpkins.

Oh, don't worry about him.

I made a few calls on the way over.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice try.

Oooh! Well, that's unexpected.

You're stronger than you look.

We'd like a word, Boris.

OK. Yup, yup.

How big are your hands?

Oh, God.

Have the peasants gone now?

No, the pheasants are still there.

But we've got rid of those ghastly poor people.

Excellent.

"Could all passengers on flight 1802 to Los Angeles"

please proceed to Gate-"

That's us, Charlie!

Come on.

Charlie? Hurry up, Polly.

I wanna say hello to the pilot. I'll catch you up.

What's wrong?

You nervous about flying?

No.

What is it, then?

We don't want to miss it, do we?

I broke my promise.

Promise?

To who?

To Peter.

Peter?

You mean... your pumpkin?

I promised I'd be there for him 'til he was fully grown,

and look after him every day.

But I just left.

He won't understand why.

It'll eat him up inside.

Sweetie...

It's just a vegetable.

It doesn't matter.

If you love someone and they're yours to look after,

you don't just leave.

Not if you really love them.

"This is the final boarding call

for flight 1802 to Los Angeles.

Please make your way to Gate D7 for boarding."

Sorry, excuse me. Sorry.

Boarding pass and passports, please.

Sorry, excuse me. This is an emergency.

Woah, woah, woah. Boarding pass and passport?

Sorry, you don't understand, I have to get through and stop that flight.

What's the flight? It's LA.

It's gone.

Sorry, love.

Boarding pass and passport, please.

Aunt Dinah!

Charlie!

I thought you'd gone.

She knows everything.

Sorry, Dinah.

I'm just no good at the whole...

nurturing thing.

Never have been.

It's why I ran away in the first place.

It's why I ran away from you too.

You don't have to come with me, Charlie.

You should go wherever makes you happy.

That's the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Peter...

It's as if, without you, he lost the will to survive.

He's angry with me.

Well, you'd better apologise, then.

I'm so sorry for abandoning you, Peter.

He's growing again.

Faster every second!

But the contest's in five days.

It's not enough time.

It'll have to be.

Hey. You did great.

Let's go win a contest.

With only three contestants left,

no one has hit 160 stone!

Ooooh!

That's a tonne to you and me.

Next up, we have a man who's gonna hope to blind us with science.

Representing Gargana Fertilisers, it's Donald Gregory!

Come on! Come on!

Booo.

Hi. Hey. Yeah.

Erm, yeah, this is the JX8.

Er... we grew it in the Gargana labs,

er, with nutrients and, erm...

HS2 fertiliser.

HS2 fertiliser.

Great, great. Shall I...?

Yeah, do it. Wonderful.

Ooooh!

Ooooh!

-Let's... -Squash up the scale!

Ooohhhhh...

Ooooh!

156 stone!

A new world record!

Oh, JX8! Mwah!

You beautiful, mwah, bio-engineered, mwah, monster.

Congratulations. We did it.

It's far from over, folks!

This is it, Charlie.

I just want you to know, whatever happens,

I'm so proud of you.

And I...

I love you too, Aunt Dinah.

And when Peter wins,

all the prize money's going to save the farm.

Our next contestant is a newcomer

to the field of competitive pumpkin growing.

It's the girl who says she can speak to pumpkins...

It's Charlie Little!

Yeah! Go on, Chazzer!

So, kid, if you can talk to it, what's your pumpkin called?

Peter.

Peter what? Peter Little.

Little! Doesn't look very little, does it?

Ooooh!

There he is! Go on, Peter!

Wow! Look at that!

Right! Let's...

Squash up the scale!

Good luck.

Ooohhhhh...

Aunt Dinah!

He's still growing!

That's impossible.

Well, he's doing it.

Come on, Peter, grow!

Come on, come on.

Ooohhhhh...

Go on, Charlie! Go on, Charlie!

There goes my job.

Ooohhhhh...

159 stone!

A new world record, but just shy the tonne!

Wait! CROWD: Awww.

He wants to talk to you.

Peter...

You've made me fall back in love with my farm.

You brought us together.

I can't thank you enough.

Look! Look, look!

Oh!

Oh! Oh-ho-ho! CROWD: Ooooh.

Oh-ho! Oh-ho! Oh!

She's done it!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Charlie Little has broken an imperial tonne!

Awww.

Wonderful.

Now, just a minute!

This isn't over! Not by a long chalk.

Go home.

As defending champions, the Smythe-Gherkins

retain the right to go last. Absolutely.

You're right, your ladyship.

And according to the rules,

if more than one entry breaks a tonne,

the prize money goes to the heavier pumpkin.

What's the name of your pumpkin?

Don't be ridiculous, man. Pumpkins don't have names.

Anyway! Here we go.

Oooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Don't clap 'em.

-For the last time, let's... -Squash that scale!

Ooohhhhhh...

Oh-ho-ho! Yeah!

Yes!

In their poor faces!

Oh. What a shocker.

The Smythe-Gherkins are the champions. Again.

And they win £100,000!

Thank you so very, very much.

I thank you for your support...

You alright?

I wanted to save the farm.

We'll get by somehow.

You're not sad we didn't win?

Charlie...

I feel like I did.

I wanna say well done to Peter. OK.

You did great.

Let's be good sports about it.

Congratulations.

Oh! Ah!

Charlie?!

It's in pain.

Like I feel when I've eaten too much chocolate.

What a beautiful piece of veg!

I got a good idea why.

Move.

That's it. Look at me.

What are you doing?

Shut up, red queen!

Please can we get security?

No!

Security.

Security, please.

Can we have- Gimme that here, MC Pumpkin Patch.

She's juiced!

It's an old trick, I've seen it before.

You slice the top off, then you drill a hole,

and you fill the pumpkin full of water.

And then, you glue the stem back on!

Boo. Cheater.

No!

It was her idea! She made me do it! What?!

Ah, I'm off! Come back here, you!

Ahhh! MAN: Cheater!

Come on now. Settle down, settle down. Simmer, please.

Come on, please. Thank you. Thanks.

Let me talk to the judges, thank you.

Under Section 36B of the Mugford PumpkinFest Code of Conduct,

juicing of a pumpkin is illegal.

Disqualified.

Oh...

We have a decision.

They've ruled that Charlie Little is the winner!

She's just won £100,000!

God.

You did it.

We did it.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Little Pumpkin Farm.

This way's our Organic Produce and Pick Your Own Fruit.

That way's our pumpkin field.

Where's the Rewilded Nature Trail? Just up that way.

Is that the old, abandoned Smythe-Gherkin Estate?

That's right. Purchased for a knocked down price

after they left town rather suddenly.

But that's a whole other story.

Less sun.

Change in music.

I think something...

...upbeat.

Oh. And don't forget to dance for them.

Arlo!

Look, this might be quite tough for you, but...

I wanted to introduce you to my new girlfriend.

Meg. Hi.

I knew something was going on when

she came back three times in one week to get rhubarb.

Who eats that much rhubarb?

No one should eat that much rhubarb. No.

It's nice to meet you. And you.

And good luck with him.

Thanks.

You're being very brave about this.

I'll survive.

We'll see.

Aww.

Reckon they make a nice couple.

Alright, you. Back to work, thank you.

Right you are, boss.

Apples!

Bitter apples!

Two for one.

Woah!

All ready for the contest?

Yep! Let's load him up!

Come on, everybody! It's starting! Come on!

He's a beast, Charlie.

What did you call him this year?

Peter 2.
