00:00And when I fell down, I fell through his roof.
00:07He's a stickler Lopithecus, and he wears an old carpet, and he lives in a cave.
00:14He's my friend.
00:16Barney's a bit of a loner.
00:21And I suppose it's made him more imaginative than most.
00:26So it's this.
00:28Did you do this?
00:30Barney, do you know who did this?
00:35Stig.
00:37How can I say this, Stig?
00:39He doesn't really like people.
00:43It's their belongings, eh?
00:45He didn't steal them!
00:46They fell from the sky, just like everything else in here that people don't want.
00:50Between you and me, Barney probably won't be here much longer.
00:53I don't want to go to London.
00:55I'll never see you again.
00:56Real or not real, the boy's obviously been spending a lot of time down in that quarry, and frankly, it's a nightmare.
01:05Stig?
01:06Stig?
01:07I've run away.
01:08I've come to live with you.
01:10Although we can't stay here, the police are going to come.
01:14Stig!

01:52Barney!
01:55Barney!
02:02Everyone's been going crazy.
02:04I thought you might be here, yeah?
02:07Are you OK?
02:08Has anything happened to you?
02:11He's gone.
02:15Stig's gone.
02:22There's nothing much wrong there.
02:25How do you feel?
02:27My throat's sore.
02:28Here, drink this.
02:31Slowly.
02:35That's it.
02:36Now, do you want to tell us about what happened?
02:45I told you.
02:46Yes, but I'd like you to tell Dr. Pelham.
02:49I went into the cave to find Stig.
02:55Who is Stig, Barney?
02:58He's a Stig Anopithecus.
03:00That's a caveman, isn't it?
03:03Which makes him older than the human race?
03:06Oh, yes.
03:06Much older.
03:08How much older?
03:09Between 100 and 200,000 years.
03:12Give or take.
03:13Give or take.
03:14And did Stig tell you he was a caveman?
03:17He didn't have to.
03:18It's pretty obvious.
03:20Anyway, I don't think he knows.
03:22He thinks he's just normal, but he's not.
03:24He's a Stig Anopithecus.
03:26Looked him up on a website.
03:28Okay, but now you say he's gone.
03:34Barney?
03:35Yes, he's gone.
03:37It's all my fault.
03:39Why is it your fault?
03:42I took the police to his cave and now he's gone.
03:46Do you think you'll ever see him again?
03:54Ah.
03:54You're a Fulham fan, I see.
03:58They're a good side.
03:59Kids around here think Fulham are rubbish.
04:01And how many kids do you know around here?
04:04Not many.
04:07No.
04:08Thought not.
04:10I'll tell you what.
04:12I'll see you again soon, Barney.
04:14Okay?
04:20Physically, he's fine.
04:21And he's none the worse for his stay in the quarry,
04:24so there's no need to worry on that score.
04:26What do you mean?
04:27Physically, he's fine.
04:29He means he's off his head.
04:31No, I don't.
04:33Imaginary friends are very common.
04:36But he's 11 years old.
04:38He's nearly 12.
04:39The more vivid these things are, the longer they last.
04:42Oh, we started to think that there was really someone down there.
04:44I mean, not a caveman, for heaven's sake.
04:46A vagrant, down and out, that sort of thing.
04:49There was no real evidence of that.
04:51It's probably just kids playing after all.
04:53But what about Barney?
04:55When he talks about Stig, it's so real.
04:59It gives you the creeps.
05:01Well, he says that Stig's gone.
05:03He seems to believe that.
05:04And that's got to be a good sign.
05:07But he's...
05:08Well, he's lost a friend.
05:09And what he needs now is something to fill the gap.
05:12Do you mean the Hawks?
05:13Tony runs the village football team, St Dunstan Hawks.
05:18That's right.
05:19Always on the lookout for new talent.
05:21Come on, Robert.
05:22It's worth a try.
05:25Good.
05:26We've got a training session tomorrow.
05:28Why don't you bring him over?
05:29Can you enjoy when you get there?
05:47Come on.
05:48It'll be great.
05:55Bye.
05:55Bye.
05:56Okay, I'll come over later after football.
06:06I don't know, Lou.
06:07An hour or two.
06:08Not long.
06:09Hang on.
06:09Your brother's here.
06:13Okay.
06:14Let's have four of these.
06:15One.
06:16Two.
06:18Three.
06:19Four.
06:20And four of these.
06:21One.
06:23Two.
06:24Where'd you knit that from?
06:26Four.
06:27Mine.
06:28Oh, yeah.
06:30Hey.
06:31Ain't he that kid that bonged you in the sack?
06:34Oh, yeah.
06:35Barney, you made it.
06:36Well done.
06:37And you bought a match ball.
06:38Fantastic.
06:39This is Barney, everybody.
06:42I won't introduce you.
06:43You'll soon get to know everyone.
06:45Okay.
06:46We've got enough for, uh, seven a side.
06:50Right.
06:50Remember, we've got a big match coming up, and I've not pit the teams yet, so I'm looking
06:54for positional play and man-on-man marking.
06:58We'll use, uh, Barney's ball, if he doesn't mind.
07:01You stick with, uh, Kenny.
07:03He's our star goalkeeper.
07:04Playing defence.
07:06Right.
07:07Off we go.
07:09Home's off, please, Nathan.
07:11Yeah, I've got to go, Lou.
07:11I'll call you later.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Bye.
07:37Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
07:40Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
07:42You all right?
07:46Listen, don't wanna watch the other side, you know?
07:50Wanna watch our Kenny.
08:12Listen, if you really want to sort that quarry out,
08:19you're going to have to force the council into action.
08:22Petition's the only way.
08:25Now, look, I shouldn't really be telling you this,
08:28but do you know Councillor Fishwick?
08:30Old fishy Fishwick should do. We went to school with him.
08:33I never liked him.
08:34Chairman of some committee or other, isn't he?
08:36Ways and means.
08:37But he also owns the development company that bought the quarry.
08:40They're supposed to be building houses on it,
08:42but they just haven't got round to it yet.
08:44And you think a petition might embarrass him?
08:46I think there's a good chance.
08:47Can't see it myself. He never used to get embarrassed.
08:50I remember once him organising a competition
08:53to see who could go highest up the wall of the girls.
08:55Thank you, Robert.
08:57It's a good idea, Karen.
09:00We'll give it a try.
09:07Hey! Over here!
09:09Hey! Over here!
09:10Hey! Over here!
09:11Oh, come on!
09:12Let's go in!
09:13Oh, come on!
09:14Yeah, I'll pass it here!
09:15Oh, come on!
09:16Come on!
09:17Come on!
09:18Come on!
09:19Come on!
09:20Right, that's it, for free.
09:24Sorry, guys, I've got a surgery.
09:26Remember, match against the Bears on Saturday,
09:28so I want everyone here on time.
09:30So, what about the team, Doc?
09:32Everybody come prepared to play.
09:33I'll call it on the day.
09:34Oh!
09:35Good session, boys.
09:36Kenny, give Barney his ball back.
09:38What's he done with it?
09:39What's he done with it?
09:40What's he done with it?
09:41Where'd it go?
09:42I thought it was here.
09:43I can.
09:44He's a nutter.
09:45I can.
09:46He's a nutter.
09:47He's a nutter.
09:48He's always doing stuff like this.
09:49Are you sure it was here?
09:50What's he done with it?
10:05Where'd it go?
10:08I thought it was here.
10:10I reckon he's a nutter.
10:12He's always doing stuff like this.
10:14I'm sure it was here.
10:17Whoa, looky!
10:19You found it!
10:20Nah, look!
10:21See?
10:22Oh, whoa, that's mine!
10:23No way!
10:24No, I mean, really, it really is mine!
10:26Yeah, I really believe you.
10:27No, I gave it to someone, a friend.
10:29He must have dropped it.
10:30Yeah, well, tough!
10:32Find his keepers and all that.
10:35Give it!
10:37Rubbish, anyway.
10:39I've got a better one at home.
10:42Nutter.
10:43Stig?
10:52Stig?
11:06Stig?
11:06Stig?
11:22Stig?
11:43What are you doing here?
11:46Recontra.
11:51Look, there's something new, he's been here.
11:54Who has?
11:55Your friend the caveman?
11:58Yeah, look, this is the story of his life.
12:01Look, they're all hunting.
12:04And building wigwams and fires.
12:08But then there's this new bit,
12:12where they're all kneeling down and something happens to one of them.
12:18This one?
12:20Is he your friend?
12:22Yeah.
12:24Yeah, I think so.
12:27This is how he got here.
12:29Like a time traveller?
12:32Sort of reminds me of something.
12:33What?
12:34Some stones on the way to Ashbourne.
12:35Scrape below.
12:36I think that's what they call it.
12:37I went there with class.
12:38Scrape below?
12:39Scrape below.
12:40Ah, Barney, good man.
12:41How was football?
12:42Okay, thanks.
12:43Ah, there you are, see.
12:44Bet you're glad you went now.
12:45I'm on kitchen duty, so anything could happen.
12:46Clear a space, I'll chat.
12:47Clear a space, I'll chat.
12:48Oh, there you are, see.
12:49I bet you're glad you went now.
12:50I'm on kitchen duty, so anything could happen.
12:52Clear a space, I'll chat.
12:53There.
12:54Now, what do you fancy with this?
12:56Carrots, a few roast spuds, and gravy.
12:58Got to have gravy.
12:59What's this?
13:00I don't know.
13:01I don't know.
13:02Ah, Barney, good man.
13:03How was football?
13:04Okay, thanks.
13:05Ah, there you are, see.
13:06Bet you're glad you went now.
13:08I'm on kitchen duty, so anything could happen.
13:11Clear a space, I'll chat.
13:14There.
13:15Now, what do you fancy with this?
13:17Carrots, a few roast spuds, and gravy.
13:20Got to have gravy.
13:21What's this?
13:23St. Dunstan's quarry is dangerous.
13:26We, the undersigned, call upon the local council to...
13:31e... e... ex...
13:33Expedite.
13:35Posh word for hurry up.
13:37To expedite their plans...
13:40to redevelop the quarry and make it totally safe.
13:45It's, um, a petition.
13:48What does it mean, redevelop?
13:53Fill it in, build houses there.
13:58Now, what about these spuds?
14:01Let's go.
14:02Now...
14:03Now...
14:04Now...
14:06now...
14:08now...
14:13now...
14:17now...
14:18So...
14:19now...
14:20Hey, Daddy!
14:38What are you doing?
14:39I want you to take me to the scrape alone.
14:41Why?
14:43I find Stig.
14:44How do you know he'll be there?
14:45I don't, but I don't know where else to look.
14:47Are you going to help me or what?
14:48All right.
14:49Don't get out of your pram.
14:51Come on.
14:54What are we doing?
14:56Well, we're not going to walk there.
14:57It's Miles.
15:00Hey, you take that one.
15:02What?
15:03Can't you ride a bike?
15:04Of course I can.
15:06Whose is it?
15:07Ah, Kenny's.
15:09So, this is our billies.
15:11There's yours.
15:12In the shed.
15:13Brakes are knackered.
15:14Don't leave it out here, though.
15:16Someone will nick it.
15:19We had to do a project on it.
15:41That's how it looked thousands of years ago.
15:52That's good, that.
15:53That could get the shape right.
16:01Stig?
16:01Steve!
16:05Steve!
16:06Steve!
16:06Steve!
16:06Steve!
16:06Steve!
16:06Steve!

16:26Steve!
16:27Steve!
16:28Steve!
16:29Steve!
16:30Steve!
16:30Yeah, she doesn't like to play.
16:37Have you seen our Danny?
16:38Not since football. He was with Barney, I think.
16:41Do you want to sign our petition? What's this for?
16:43Fill in the quarry. Make it safe.
16:46No. I like the quarry just as it is.
16:49Yeah, but what about the younger children, like Barney and your Danny?
16:53I mean, don't they need protecting?
16:55Oh, yeah, they will do, when I get old of them.
17:00Oh, yeah.
17:30So, it looks like the same place.
17:44It is the same place. It's got the right amount of stones.
17:48Stick! Stick!
17:58Stick, I thought you were gone.
18:00I thought you were angry because of the police one.
18:08No, no, it's okay. Look.
18:10He's a friend, aren't you?
18:12Go on, say hello.
18:14Do you think he's eating arcana?
18:20You better give him something. Go on.
18:22He likes presents.
18:32Stick, Mossa. Mossa-nique.
18:34Don't worry, that means he likes them.
18:50What is it?
18:52It's a knife made out of flint.
19:04Stick, we found your message about the stones.
19:08Look, we found it.
19:10We know where it is. It's called Scraper Low.
19:13I've got 123.
19:18Nathan?
19:19Um, 87.
19:20Is that all?
19:21Yeah, well, I had more, but a lot of them were little girls, so...
19:25I see.
19:27Lou?
19:28106.
19:29Oh, very good.
19:30Robert?
19:3462.
19:35Pathetic.
19:36What were you doing?
19:37Well, you know.
19:39Chatting to people.
19:40Discussing the issues.
19:41Pressing the flesh.
19:43Hmm.
19:45I'll take that, shall I?
19:48Right.
19:49Total signatures to date for our Make the Quarry Safe campaign are...
19:55378.
19:57That's great.
19:58Well, it's a start.
20:00Fishy.
20:01How the devil are you?
20:03It's Robert.
20:04Robert Tolbert.
20:07Titch Tolworth.
20:08That's right.
20:11Oh, you know.
20:12Taller.
20:14A bit.
20:18It's Fishy Fishwick for you.
20:20My word.
20:23News does travel first.
20:27Barney, how's Trix?
20:29Fine, thanks.
20:30Hi, Nathan.
20:31Hi, Lou.
20:32Hi.
20:33Councillor Fish...
20:34No, Gavin.
20:36I warn you.
20:37I shan't be put off.
20:40I want that quarry made safe.
20:44And if it isn't, I shall bring my petition straight to the car.
20:49What?
20:53Already?
20:54Oh, well.
20:55As long as we understand each other.
21:00Right.
21:01Goodbye, Gavin.
21:05Guess what?
21:06He's agreed.
21:08Who said he couldn't be embarrassed?
21:10Well, it starts tomorrow.
21:11We've won.
21:13We have to get him out of here.
21:15I heard my grand on the phone.
21:16They've made some sort of...
21:18petition.
21:20And now they're gonna come and blow the place up.
21:22Who are?
21:24The council.
21:25And so we need to make Stig understand.
21:27He has to find another place to live.
21:31What?
21:33Listen.
21:51It's good, innit?
21:52Look, we haven't come here to play football.
21:55Go on, give him the bar.
21:58Shut up, Danny.
21:59This is serious.
22:00Stig, listen.
22:03Men are gonna come.
22:05They're gonna blow the place up.
22:06They're gonna use dynamite.
22:08Dynamite!
22:11Kaboom!
22:13Semtex.
22:14What?
22:15They don't use dynamite.
22:16They use Semtex.
22:17Whatever.
22:18It still goes kaboom.
22:20Kaboom!
22:22Yeah, that's right.
22:23And so tomorrow...
22:25we're gonna take you to a better place.
22:27Kaboom!
22:29We can't go tomorrow.
22:30Well, why not?
22:31Football!
22:33Okay, after football!
22:36Foo-ball.
22:42Go to bed!
22:43Go to bed!
22:44Go to bed!
22:45Go to bed!
22:46Go to bed!
22:48Go to bed!
22:49Go to bed!
22:50Go to bed!
22:51Go to bed!
