Come Outside

Street Lamps (3x4)

: 04, 1997

Auntie Mabel and Pippin are flying home at dusk and admiring the glittering lights below. When they get home Auntie tries to switch on the hall light but the bulb has gone. Pippin finds a torch and they put in a new bulb. Pippin needs her evening walk and while they are out Auntie Mabel trips over a bag of rubbish because the street lamp isn’t working. Next day they watch to see how the lamp is repaired and find out how street lamps switch themselves on and off automatically. Auntie Mabel tells a story about a Victorian lamplighter.
