The Sing Along Machine
PC Plum asks Miss Hoolie if she heard any strange noises in the night. She tells him that she had been kept awake by a deep booming voice that said "yoghurt pots" over and over again. At first, they can't figure out what it means, but then Miss Hoolie remembers that Archie has a huge collection of yoghurt pots. So PC Plum dashes over to Archie's castle and gets to the bottom of the mystery. Archie had been testing his new invention in the night. It's a very noisy music machine. PC Plum tells Archie not to use it again. Archie is disappointed, so PC Plum takes it to Spencer, who might put it to good use. Spencer tries out Archie's machine and loves it. He tries speaking into it and singing into it. Then he comes up with a brilliant idea - to use it as a sing-along machine. Spencer and PC Plum bring the machine to the nursery, and all the nursery children have a turn at singing along with Archie's invention.
