So, diggers get sent on jobs all by themselves sometimes?
Big diggers do, Scratch. They're called solo jobs.
But a little digger like you might get lonely all on your own.
I wouldn't get lonely.
I can't wait to do my first solo job.
- DOOR OPENS - Morning, team.
Ella Stevenson's just called from Fixham School.
We've got an exciting job to do, come on.
Oh, maybe I'll get a solo job.
Hi, everyone.
Look what I found on the roof.
The old school bell.
Oh, what's it for, Miss Stevenson?
The teacher used to ring it to tell the children to come to school.
We're going to build a new tower on the school roof.
For the bell to hang in.
Look, I'll show you the plans.
First, we'll make room on the roof.
Then we'll build a frame and bolt in on.
Then, add walls.
And last of all, we'll hang the bell.
Oh, is there a solo job for me?
Not here, Scratch. But there is another solo job today.
Oh, really?
Yes, we need a digger to dig some holes for Farmer Pickles.
Can I do it, Bob? Can I?
Well, only if you think you won't get lonely.
I won't. I promise.
You could take the bell, Scratch.
If you get lonely, ring it and we'll come and keep you company.
Great idea, Dizzy.
Yes, but take good care of it, Scratch. We'll need it later.
OK. But I won't even ring it, cos I won't get lonely.
Hello, Farmer Pickles.
Hello, Scratch.
I've marked where to dig the holes.
I'll come back and plant trees in them later. Bye-bye.
Bye.
Ooh, I really am all on my own.
Ah, but I won't be ringing this silly ding-a-ling bell.
HE GIGGLES
Phew, this ground's really muddy.
And it's been ages since I saw my friends.
But...I'm not...lonely.
I could go and visit them, though...
just quickly.
Yeah.
Hello, Scratch.
Have you finished your solo job already?
Erm, nearly, Roley.
So, erm, you're not lonely?
No, I'm fine.
- Really, Scratch? - Yes.
I only came back so I could, erm...
tell you I'm not lonely.
Oh.
And I'm going back now.
Remember, Scratch,
if you do get lonely, ring the bell.
Scoop, Muck, can you fetch me some tiles
- from the supplier's yard, please? - No prob, Bob!
On our way.
I'm digging, I'm digging!
And I'm not lonely.
I can't wait till the tower's finished, Scoop.
Neither can I, Muck.
Oh, it's my friends.
Hi, Scoop, hi, Muck.
Hi, Scratch. I thought you were doing your solo job?
Yes, I was just going to, erm...
tell you how it's going.
Are you sure you're not lonely?
Lonely? No, that's why I haven't rung the bell.
One of us could stay here to keep you company.
No, it's a solo job, remember?
I'm going now, to get on with my solo job...
like a big digger.
Dig, dig, dig.
This solo job is taking a long time...
but I'm NOT lonely.
I know, I could pretend
one of my friends was here.
Move that bit there, push that bit under there,
put that bit there
and sort of squash it about a bit.
Yes!
Now I can talk to this pretend digger.
And I won't have to ring that silly ding-a-ling bell.
Look, muddy digger,
I'm doing a solo job.
Whoops!
Oh no, my muddy friend's fallen on top of me.
I'm stuck...
and I can't reach the bell.
Help!
Hi, everyone, have any of you heard Scratch ringing the bell?
Erm, no, we haven't heard anything.
Oh good, he must be all right then.
Oh... Oh squirrels, I'm stuck.
I didn't want to tell anyone,
but...I'm lonely!
I thought I could be like a big digger, but I can't.
Will you ring the bell for me? Oh, please.
BELL RINGS
Oh, it's the bell.
Scratch needs us, come on.
Scratch, what happened?
I got lonely, so I built a muddy friend to talk to.
But it fell on me and then I was more lonely than ever.
If you were lonely, you should have said.
Yes, and rung the bell.
But...I wanted to be like a big digger.
You are. It takes a big digger to say how he's feeling.
Oh...does it?
Yes, we all get lonely sometimes.
We're here to keep you company now.
And your digging speeds are brilliant.
Yeah, but I won't do any more solo jobs for a while.
I want to stay with all of you.
Ha-ha, of course. You can help us finish the bell tower.
Come on.
Oh, it looks really good.
And we all worked together to build it, Scratch.
Yes, much better than a solo job, ha-ha.
Now, Ella, you can ring the bell.
Yes, to tell the children to come to school.
Oh, thanks, but I think someone else should ring it.
Scratch!
Oh...!
I suppose it's OK to do this on my own.
