Trouble with the Miners is the 4th episode of the fourth season of The Dreamstone (and the 43rd of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 24th of January 1995.
Synopsis[]
A big freeze hit Viltheed, and the boiler stopped working. The only way to make it work was to go to the Fire Rock mines. Meanwhile, Rufus and Amberley had to get some Grow Rock for poor Mr Blossom's plant. The Urpneys met up with the chief miner, who was unwilling to provide Fire Rock, due to Zordrak not paying them for the last supply.
Meanwhile, the Noops were caught by a huge storm which blown them into the Fire Rock mines and were captured. While the Urpneys discussed a bargain, the Noop swapped the Urpney's Fire Rock for their Grow Rock, supposing it's less likely to fuel Zordrak's boiler. Blob took both the bag of supposed Fire Rock and the captured Noops, with the agreement to use them as reward bait for Zordrak to pay for the miners' fees. However Urpgor (who had been sent to check on Blob) crash landed on top of the miners, with the Noops escaping on his Hoverbike, and the Urpneys deciding to make a similar retreat.
The Noops arrived back home, with Mr Blossom oblivously swiping their bag of Fire Rock, using it on the plant which took off and exploded like a firework, making him very puzzled! Whilst in Viltheed, upon using Blob's bag of rock on the boiler, a flower bloomed inside, leading an enraged Urpgor to chew out Blob, not noticing the boiler door slowly closing on his tail.
Compared to those miners, I think he's quite sweet!
