Summary

A little boy dressed in a grey school uniform, recites a story as he walks through various locales;

"One upon a time, on a little island where it often rained, there was a broadcasting corporation, who realised that small people, like me, were different from big people".

"And so they decided to make programmes for small people as well. Programmes that small people would learn from, without even knowing it".

"But the small people soon became big people too, and magically produced small people of their own".

"So the corporation decided to make even more programmes, this time, for the new generation of small people".

"The corporation continues to entertain and educate small people, with an enormous variety of programmes, like these animated programmes, futuristic programmes, long-running programmes, pioneering programmes, playful programmes, magical programmes, and dramatic programmes, really wild programmes!"

"But they can only continue to make small people's programmes thanks to the unique way the corporation is paid for by the big people".
