(2006)

Meera and Sarah are practising a traditional Indian dance for school assembly. It's not going very well but Meera refuses to get help from Nisha as she wants to be grown up and do it herself. Pat delivers some netting to Dorothy, who is plagued by swarms of bugs on her lettuces. Meera tells her that she's expecting a special sari for the dance. The next morning the sari hasn't arrived. Dorothy gives Pat the golden netting as the holes are too big to keep out the bugs. Pat gives it to Meera to wear. Sarah is upset as her 'sari' is an old bath-towel. Nisha finally ...

They eventually end up back at the school where they see the big rainbow mural and a pot of gold cupcakes at one ...

To Lucy's horror a strange knight arrives in a metal helmet with a glowing sword in his hand. Lucy bravely confronts her fear and douses the 'knight' with water from a hosepipe. It turns out to be Ted in his soldering gear who has ...

Pat can't even boil an egg. As he goes on his rounds he sees various members of the village cooking food. When a famous Chef has to cancel his cooking demonstration in Greendale the villagers are very disappointed. Pat saves the day by organising everyone into making their own cooking demonstration.
