CHEERING

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, CBeebies Prommers!

ALL: Hello!

How good to see you. You have filled the Royal Albert Hall.

Isn't that fantastic?

It is, Chris, it's fantastic.

SINGING Hang on, what is that noise?

I don't know, Katy, but it's coming from...

-Oh, it's coming from over there.

-Look, everyone.

-It's Robert the Robot.

-Hi, Robert!

-Hi, Robert!

Er, Robert? Robert, mate? What are you doing?

Who said that? Was that you?

It's... Oh!

Oh, hello, everybody! Hello, there!

Were you speaking to me?

Yes, we were, Robert. Um, what are you doing?

Why, I'm cleaning, of course. It's sort of my thing!

You see, the Royal Albert Hall is a very, very old building.

According to my research, it's 140 years old.

Now, there is a dusting challenge a robot can really get his gears into.

Oh, Robert, you can't clean during a concert.

HE WHEEZES

I cannot clean? Why ever not, sir?

Because you'll make too much noise,

then we won't be able to hear the beautiful music.

Noise, Andrew?

But the sound of cleaning is music to my ears!

You like the sound of my cleaning, don't you?

-CHILDREN SHOUT OUT

-I think that's the majority.

We all love the sound of your cleaning, but just not now.

Oh... Well, what will I do if I'm not cleaning?

-Let's think!

-Oh, they're huddling. Now I'm worried.

THEY WHISPER

KATY: Excuse me! Up here!

I've got it!

Robert, why don't you find the perfect sound to finish

the end of the CBeebies Prom?

The perfect sound? Hmm...

Oh! Right, call off the search, I've got it!

The lovely hum of a vacuum cleaner!

-Er...

-No.

Not fans, clearly. All right. The splish, splash, splosh of a mop?

-Ahem...

-I can see where you're going with this, Robert,

but those sounds... They're not quite right.

Not quite right. Got you!

Well, don't worry, I will be back.

Now, how long do I have for this? The whole day, or the afternoon?

30 minutes.

HE WHEEZES

No pressure, then! Right, well, I'm just popping out for a bit.

But I will find the sound!

Andrew, would you mind holding Marguerite for me?

Thank you very much.

-Find a sound! Find a sound!

-Now, can we get on with the concert?

Yes!

Hold on a second! Where are Cat and Gem?

We're over here!

Here we are! We're making sure the woodwind are ready

for their special part in the next piece of music.

Yes, and it's one of my favourites -

it's the Hornpipe from the Fantasia On British Sea Songs!

It's a sailors' dance,

and it was danced on ships for hundreds of years.

There's something important we have to do

before we listen to this piece of music

and that's the Swashbuckle salute! So let me see you all marching!

Put your hands on your heart. Here we go. Ha-ha!

-# Eye patch

-Eye patch

-# Pirate's hat

-Pirate's hat

# Swashbuckle cheer

# Arrr-harrr! #

And one more time. Hand on your heart. Here we go.

-# Eye patch

-Eye patch

-# Pirate's hat

-Pirate's hat

# Swashbuckle cheer

# Arrr-harrr! #

I think that has put us all in the mood for a seafaring adventure,

so here it is, Sir Henry Wood's Hornpipe.

AUDIENCE CLAPS ALONG

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ah, wow, thank you for joining in. That was great.

Hold on a second, has anyone seen Katy?

I'm up here, Chris, behind the orchestra, look!

I'm just saying thank you to Sir Henry

for arranging such a brilliant piece of music.

Yes, and we need to thank him for starting these wonderful concerts.

The first prom was 120 years ago.

So, thank you, Sir Henry!

APPLAUSE

Excuse me! Er, hello?

-I've found a sound!

-Did you hear somebody?

Oh, yes, Chris, sir, it's me, Robert. I've found a sound.

There are always people in London saying interesting things.

So I've come to a market. Listen to this.

Apples and pears! All fresh today! Apples and pears!

Don't mind if I do. I like a nice crunchy apple!

Could I get a half dozen of your finest...

And I've forgotten why I'm doing this, I'm so sorry.

Back to the sound. Paul, the market seller, is selling fruit.

So his customers know what he's selling, he shouts out about it.

Wait a minute. I can record this on my RMP1 player.

Would you say it again, please, Paul?

Apples and pears! All fresh today! Apples and pears!

Ah! One sound down. Thank you, Paul.

Never fear, I will keep searching.

I will find the sound!

Oh, I like that.

Apples and pears!

Chris, why don't we all try Robert's new sound?

Good idea, Cat. Come on, everybody.

Let's all be market sellers shouting, "Apples and pears!"

Go!

ALL: # Apples and pears! Apples and pears!

# Apples and pears! Apples and pears! #

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What was that?

It was coming from over here, Katy. It was me and the brass section.

I've come to the brass section to find an instrument,

or a few instruments, that sound like dinosaurs, so everyone shout out,

what dinosaur do you think the trombone most sounds like?

-Diplodocus!

-Diplodocus? That's a good one. Anybody else, shout out.

-T Rex!

-Oh, a T Rex! Yes, T Rex.

How about the trumpet?

Oh, that's a good sound.

-Stegosaurus!

-Stegosaurus.

-Velociraptor!

-Velociraptor, yes!

Velociraptor was a very cool dinosaur.

# I'm velociraptor I'm the real velociraptor

# All you other kind of raptors can't touch me

# Cos I'm velociraptor I'm the real velociraptor

# I'm the coolest kind of raptor that you've ever seen!

# I'm the coolest kind of raptor I'm the smoothest kind of raptor

# And I've got my wow factor in Velociraptor Rap! #

Yeah!

HE PLAYS A FANFARE

Oh, here's another wow factor.

Quite a few thousand years ago, after the dinosaurs, of course,

there were charioteers.

These charioteers would race in the Olympics on their chariots

pulled by horses.

They were incredible. Everybody loved them.

The next piece of music was written by Miklos Rozsa.

Just imagine a huge arena packed full of people

waiting for the parade of the charioteers.

MUSIC: "Parade Of The Charioteers" from Ben-Hur

# Apples and pears! #

Hold on a second, CBeebies Prommers, did you hear something?

# Oh, do you like me apples and pears?! #

Hello there, you lot!

I'm up here in the gallery right at the top of the Albert Hall,

and I tell you what...

We're very high up.

Mr Bloom, what are you doing all the way up there?

I came up here to get a look at you CBeebies Prommers

and I was wondering if we could get an echo going

here in the Albert Hall. So, you listen up and you copy what I do.

# Apples and pears!

ALL: # Apples and pears! #

Brilliant!

Hello? Hello? Albert Hall, this is Robert calling!

Ahoy there, Robert. Have you found another sound?

I have. I've found a sound in a unusual place.

CBeebies Prommers, do you know where I am? There are lots of sounds.

Trains going chiggity-chong, and interesting beep-beep-beep sounds,

but my favourite sound of all is...

Stand clear of the doors! Doors closing, stand clear of the doors.

Yes, that's right! I'm at a Tube station

where everyone can hear the platform assistant

make sure passengers know the train doors are closing.

I'll just fire up my old RMP1 player so we can record the sound. And...

off you go, Ria.

Stand clear of the doors. Doors closing. Stand clear of the doors.

Very good! And the train is going!

Well done, Ria... Wait a minute.

That was my train. Now what am I going to do?

Don't worry, everybody, I'll be back soon. More sounds on their way.

I like that sound!

Stand clear of the doors! Stand clear of the doors!

CBeebies Prommers, do you want to help us?

ALL: Yes!

Here we go. Ready? And...

ALL: Stand clear of the doors! Stand clear of the doors!

Stand clear of the doors!

Stand clear of the doors!

-Well done!

-Everyone, listen to this. I've found something else

that opens and closes just like Tube train doors.

Wow, Cat, what is that?

This is an accordion.

And it opens and closes, lets air in and makes this fantastic sound.

MUSIC: Theme from "Old Jack's Boat"

Oh! I think I know where we're going next. Do you?

There's a harbour and a street, with lots of lovely people to meet,

and there's a very special boat with two very important friends.

Do you know where we're going?

-Old Jack's Boat!

-That's right,

we're going to see Old Jack and Salty on Old Jack's Boat.

APPLAUSE

Come on, girl. In you go.

In your bed. In your bed.

Go on, sit down. That's it.

Ha-ha-ha!

# This is the place to be for Salty dog and me

# Down by the harbour, we'll be there

# Round by the corner there's something to share

# Give us a cheer, our friends are here for Salty dog and me. #

Ha-ha! Hello!

# This is the place to meet Down at the end of the street

# Seagulls flying up in the blue

# There's always a cup of tea waiting for you

# Out in the sun, having some fun with Salty dog and me

# Haul away, haul away

# Sing a song of the sea

# Hoist the sail, I'll tell you a tale of Salty dog and me. #

Ha-ha! Look at you!

# This is the place to go and these are the people we know

# The village is busy with things to see

# And there's the Rainbow down by the quay

# Stories to tell, join us as well Just Salty dog and me. #

There we are! Well done, Salty!

Oh, Jack, it's so good to see you and Salty.

Yes, I know. It's lovely to see all of you as well.

Jack, I don't suppose you've seen Robert the Robot?

-We sent him to find some sounds and he hasn't returned.

-Whoa, whoa.

What sort of sounds? Cos Salty does lovely barking sounds.

We asked Robert to go out and find the perfect sound

to finish the concert.

Yes, I think this is my stop...

No, no, I'm wrong again.

Oh, hello, CBeebies Prommers.

-Robert, where are you?

-Have you found another sound yet?

A sound? Have I found a sound?

Well, of course I have. And it is fantastic.

You see, I'm on a London bus.

When I press the bus bell, it goes "ding-ding".

Then the bus slows down, ready to stop, so I can get off. Ha!

I recorded it earlier on my RMP1 player. Have a listen.

DING-DING!

Ho-ho-ho! Isn't it a lovely dingly-jingly sound?

Wait a minute. Are we slowing down?

Oh! I'm so sorry, Driver, that wasn't me dinging!

It was me RMP1 player going off!

Onwards, please. I must find the sound!

Oh, I like the sound of that. Ding-ding! Ding-ding!

Did you like that too?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Let's all try signalling for the bus to stop by going "ding-ding".

Here we go! And...

# Ding-ding!

# Ding-ding!

# Ding-ding!

# Ding-ding! #

Yeah! Brilliant!

Have a look! Over here with the double basses. There's Miss Mouse.

Miss Mouse wants to play the double bass.

Fancy that, the smallest of all the Show Me, Show Me toys,

wants to play the biggest instrument in the string section.

There's Miss Mouse. Who else can we spot? Let's look around.

Mo Mo, really? Where's Mo Mo?

Oh, look, here's Mo Mo with the cellos.

Hello, Mo Mo.

Anyone seen Tom? Tom?

-There he is!

-There he is!

He's with the violas.

Who's with the violins?

-Who?

-Stuffy!

Oh, thank you! It's Stuffy!

Hold on, that's only four toys. Who's missing?

Teddington!

Teddington! Where are you, Teddington?

Ah!

Teddington's being the conductor

because he likes to tell people what to do.

Now, Teddington, what would you like the audience to do?

"Show me, show me your groovy Gustav moves."

Here's one. It's Gustav Holst's The Dargason from the St Paul's Suite.

Sorry? What's that, Stuffy?

Ah, where is Robert the Robot? That's a very good question.

Attention!

Hello, Robert. Yes, we're all paying attention.

No, no, not that sort of attention.

I mean, atten-shun! As in standing to attention, like these soldiers.

Standing to attention, sir!

Excellent. I have found the most fantastic sound that just wants

to make my feet move and move. Listen to this!

Mark time!

Left, right, left, right.

These soldiers can be seen at Buckingham Palace

doing the Changing of the Guard.

I just love marching.

Oh, I must record this on my RMP1 player.

And off we go!

Forward!

Left, right, left, right, left, right, coming through!

I love marching. Don't you?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Well, why don't we all march together like Robert and the soldiers?

Come on, mums and dads as well. Up, off your chairs! Here we go.

And you can march with us too.

MARCHING MUSIC PLAYS

# Left, right, left, right Left, right, left, right

-ALL:

-# Left, right, left, right Left, right, left, right! #

Well done, fantastic marching!

Wow! I love the sound of these bells. Don't you, Jack?

You know, those bells, it reminded me of the time that

Salty and I had to help our friend Sammy the Seahorse.

Shall I tell you about it, shall I?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Once upon a twinkly time,

the Rainbow set sail from Staithes,

waved goodbye to Whitby

and disappeared over the horizon.

Just then, I spotted Sam the Seahorse

next to the most beautiful seashell coach.

We pulled up alongside him, didn't we?

And we asked what he was doing.

"Hello, Jack," said Sam,

"the seashell coach and I are waiting for midnight."

Salty and I asked Sam why he was waiting for midnight.

He quickly explained.

It was the night of the Sea King's Underwater Ball

and everyone in the kingdom was invited,

but Cinderella's stepmother and her ugly step-sisters

had left Cinders at home with no ball dress and no way to get to the ball.

Aw! Poor Cinderella. Aw!

-ALL:

-Aw!

Oh, no, it was worse than that. Go on.

-LOUDER:

-Aw!

Oh, yes, that should do it, yes.

Suddenly, her Fairy Godmother appeared. Bing!

And with a swish, her sparkly wand transformed Cinders' dress

into the most beautiful, shimmering gown.

Then, with another swishity-swish,

a tiny seashell became a glamorous coach

to take Cinderella to the Underwater Ball.

And that's where she is now.

And sure enough, when Salty and I looked,

we could see Cinderella dancing and waltzing with the Sea Prince.

Oh, very good-looking, he was. And they looked beautiful.

I still didn't understand why Sam had to wait for midnight.

"Ah, listen, Jack," said Sam, "that is when the magic ends.

"When the clock strikes 12, Cinderella must leave the ball.

"On the 12th bell, Cinderella's gown will turn into her old dress,

"and this seashell coach will be a tiny seashell again."

Well, Salty looked at me,

and I looked at Salty because the sky was getting very dark.

And just at that moment, we heard the Sea King's clock.

MUSIC: "Cinderella Suite - Midnight" by Prokofiev

APPLAUSE

You just heard Midnight from Prokofiev's music for Cinderella.

Jack, I need to know, what happened when the bells struck midnight?

Did Cinderella stay at the Underwater Ball?

-Or did she make it home in the seashell coach?

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-That is another story for another day.

-OK.

Oi! I want to ask you, what has happened to Robert?

Well, I'm hoping he's on his way back to the Royal Albert Hall

-with those great sounds.

-Sir, sir! I have found it.

I have found THE sound!

Well done, Robert! What is it? What is the sound

-that will finish our concert?

-Just listen to this!

BIG BEN CHIMES

What do you think, CBeebies Prommers?

# Ding-dong, ding dong Ding-dong, ding-dong! #

Those bells are the chimes of Big Ben,

the great bell inside the great clock at the Houses of Parliament.

What a great sound from a great bell!

I've just recorded it on my RMP1 player. Listen...

OUT OF TUNE: DING-DANG-DON-N-N-G...

Oh, no! I seem to be r-r-running out of pow-w-wer...

I-I-I'll just go and fix...this...

-Oh, I hope he's OK!

-Yes, so do I.

But what a fantastic sound! Don't you think?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Do you think we can all make the chimes of Big Ben?

Let's all do it together.

ALL: # Ding-dong, ding-dong!

# Ding-dong, ding-dong! #

Louder!

# Ding-dong, ding-dong!

# Ding-dong, ding-dong! #

-Wow!

-CBeebies Prommers, it's nearly time for our last piece of music.

But we need Robert to come back to the hall.

I'll give him a call. Hang on a minute. I think I know his number.

There we go.

Oh, it's gone to answer machine. I'll leave him a message. Ready?

Robert, how are you doing? Andy here.

Come back to the Royal Albert Hall.

We love your sounds. We think they're perfect...

Oh, oh, Andy, I think we have a problem.

Find the sound...

Find...the...sound...

Oh, my days! I think Robert's battery must have run flat!

I've my compost car outside...

Hi! Can I help?

Tree Fu Tom! Are we glad to see you!

Robert has run out of power and we're not sure

how to get him back here in time for the end of the concert.

To get him back, we'll need to work together as a team.

Can you do that, CBeebies Prommers?

-ALL: Yes!

-Of course we can!

-Yep, we can.

Great!

We'll have to use Big World Magic to give Robert the Robot

the power he needs to get back to the concert.

So, CBeebies Prommers, I need your help.

It's time to do the Superpowers Go Spell. Are you ready?

Tree Fu go!

Right, copy me.

Into your spell pose.

OK, hands together in front like this.

Now twist to the side.

One, two, three, four!

Shoot your arms up the middle.

Now three big circles with your arms.

One, two, three!

Brilliant! Same moves again.

Hands together, twist.

ALL: One, two, three, four!

Arms up the middle,

big circles!

ALL: One, two, three!

Now clap and say "Superpowers Go" to send the magic to me.

ALL: Superpowers Go!

Oh... Yee... Neep! Oh!

Yes! We did it!

Now Robert is super-charged. Thanks for your help, CBeebies Prommers!

Oh, yes, my cogs are whirring again! Thank you, Tom.

The Superpowers Go Spell gave you the power to get on your way.

It's time to get back to the concert, Robert. Come on! Let's go.

MUSIC: Theme from "Tree Fu Tom"

This way!

The Albert Hall is this way!

Whoa! Watch out!

Ooh! Er... Oh, no!

Oh!

HE PANTS

Come on! You can make it!

Yes! We made it!

It's time for me to go. Good luck, Robert.

Bye, everyone!

Erm... Oh!

I did it! I did it!

CHEERING

I have found the perfect sound to finish the concert!

No, listen, Robert, we've heard all the sounds you found.

-Didn't we, Salty?

-No, no, no, sir. Not those sounds,

although I did do quite well, even if I say so myself.

No, I have found the perfect sound.

-Robert, is it "apples and pears"? I love that sound.

-Hmm, no.

-"Ding-ding"? I like that one...

-No.

It's all of you!

CBeebies Prommers, I heard you practising all of my sounds

and you sounded great.

And I have had an incredible idea

that just gets my gears whirring into overdrive!

You, and you, and you at home

can all join in our last piece with all the sounds you've practised.

Robert, that is such a brilliant idea!

So, here are the BBC Philharmonic

with the CBeebies Prommers in the Royal Albert Hall and at home,

performing Barrie Bignold's Around Sound!

Get ready, bus bell ringers!

JACK: Ah, that was brilliant.

Right, everybody, now the concert is over, can I start dusting again?

This Albert Hall is very, very dusty.

Not yet, Robert. First of all, we have to say goodbye.

-See you soon! Bye-bye!

-Goodbye!
