0:00:04 > 0:00:07Oh, hello there, Tiddlers!
0:00:07 > 0:00:12Hey, you're just in time, because I'm off out on an expedition.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Would you like to come too?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17What's that? Where are we going? Of course.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I should have told you that to begin with.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Some Tiddlers I know have found something very exciting
0:00:23 > 0:00:27near here, but we've got to go now, because if we don't
0:00:27 > 0:00:31we might miss the big event. So, come on, what are you waiting for?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Here we are, by the canal.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And I'm with some Tiddlers! Hello, there!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hey, now, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- What are we doing here today? - Looking for animals.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06And what type of animals might we find?
0:01:06 > 0:01:11- What about a crocodile or a lion? - A crocodile? A lion?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- What would we do if we found a lion?- Run away.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We'd run away, wouldn't we?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- If we're looking for animals, what do we need to be?- Quiet!
0:01:20 > 0:01:25We need to be quiet. So let's look for some animals.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Hello, hello, what can we see over there?- Mummy duck.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Hey! And what do we think she's doing?- Looking after her eggs.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- How many eggs can we see?- Four.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41There's one egg which is different to the rest.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- How is it different?- Because it's big.- It's really big!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48It's the biggest egg I've ever seen.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51But mummy duck is in the way a bit,
0:01:51 > 0:01:56if she moves out the way we might be able to see those eggs.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58CLASSICAL MUSIC
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- What's she doing?- Dancing.- She is!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36TAPPING
0:02:38 > 0:02:41TAPPING CONTINUES
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Oh, look, what's that?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53One of the eggs has hatched, hasn't it?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Two little girl ducklings!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03They've still got eggshell on them.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16TAPPING
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Hey, who's this?- A boy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21THUMP!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26He needs to find his feet, doesn't he?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Don't you think mummy duck has got a lovely, fine family?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- The biggest one is not hatching. - That's right.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- There's got to be a bigger duck in there.- A big duck.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I don't think that one is ready to hatch yet.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I think it might need a bit longer.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Look, she's putting it back in the nest.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Why did she put it back in the nest?- So it can hatch.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34So it can hatch later on.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40And so these little ducklings can all play.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42CHEERING
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Can you see their legs?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- What colour are their legs?- Orange.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Yeah. There's something else that's orange, what's that?- The beak!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59The beaks, that's right. Look at that waddly walk.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Look, what's the little boy duckling saying?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- He's saying, let's get the egg. - I think you're right.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Look, that is naughty. There's a baby bird inside that egg.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21He shouldn't be playing with it like that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Be careful with that!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Be careful! Oh, my.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- What might happen if they play with the egg like that?- It could break.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43They might break it, I know!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49You will be in trouble when your mother comes back!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Oh, the mummy one is coming back.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Look, they're pretending they haven't been doing anything.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Look, mummy is putting the egg back in the nest. That's good, isn't it?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- TAPPING - Hey, would you look at that?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Oh, my. Look, the egg's hatched, hasn't it, Tiddlers?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Does she look like the other ducklings to you?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36No, she is grey and the others are yellow and orange.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40That's right, she is grey and the others are yellow and orange.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58You know what? I don't think they want to play with her.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I think they reckon she's a bit of an ugly duckling.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28I think those three ducks don't think that grey duck is
0:08:28 > 0:08:30really a duck.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Oh, they're trying to make her look like the other ducklings,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48aren't they?
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- Oh, hang on. Who is this coming? - Mummy.- It's mummy duck.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Look, they're all lining up.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Bye! Come on, follow me.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- Now, Tiddlers, did you like the way those ducklings were walking?- Yeah!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah, it was funny, wasn't it?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I reckon we should pretend to be the ducklings.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Do you reckon you could do that? - Yeah.- Of course you can.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Their wings were pointing out, weren't they?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00So point out your wings. Give them a little flap.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Yeah. And what were the ducklings' toes doing?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Pointing out.- Pointing out. So, can we point out our toes?
0:10:07 > 0:10:13That's it, point them out. Very good. Give them a little wobble!
0:10:13 > 0:10:17And what were the tails doing? They were sticking out.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21So let's stick our tails out. This feels very funny, doesn't it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:25And then I think we should go for a waddle.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Let's go, go for a little waddle.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Quack, quack. That's right! - QUACKING
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Quack, quack!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Quack, quack. Quack, quack.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Come on, Tiddlers! Quack, quack.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Hey, look at this.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47It's the duck pond.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Hang about, I think it's ducks only, this pond.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56WHISTLE TRILLS
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Right, I'm sorry, Mr Lifeguard Duck.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- My mistake. - Quack, quack, quack, quack!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Hang on, look who's coming.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Quick, come with me, let's hide, cos look who's coming this way!
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Over here, quick, quick.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Who's arrived?- The ducks!
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- Where are they going?- They're going swimming.- They're going swimming.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- And what's she got there, can you see?- Armbands.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33She's got some armbands, that's right!
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- And what is he wearing there? - Swimming ring.- A swimming ring.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44They must be having a swimming lesson.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- I think the ugly duckling has got something as well.- Goggles!
0:11:52 > 0:11:56She's got some goggles! She looks a bit funny, doesn't she?
0:11:56 > 0:12:01This is the way you swish your feet, make a circle.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Have a little kick, turn on your front, and learn to float.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07My, you are learning quick!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- What are they doing?- I think they're going for a dip in the pond.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Look at this. Let's count them in.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17One!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Two...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Three, four...
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Oh, hang about. Hey, what's happened here?!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32He won't let the ugly duckling in.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38The lifeguard duck doesn't think that she's a real duck!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40SAD MUSIC
0:13:06 > 0:13:11- So, if she's not a duckling, what do you think she might be?- A goose.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- A goose.- A pigeon?- Maybe.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Do you think we could make her feel better?- Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23We hope you find out what you are, little duckling!
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- Oh, who's this?- The mummy duckling. - It's the mummy duck, isn't it?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- What do you think she's doing? - Looking for her little duckling.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41That's right, she's looking for her little ugly duckling.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47- Aw. Don't worry, mummy duck, we'll find her, won't we?- Yeah!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53The ugly duckling came this way on our expedition,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58- but we seem to have lost track of her, haven't we, lads?- Yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02I wonder, do you know what type of creature the ugly duckling might be?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- What do you think, Mohammed? - A goose.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08A goose, hey, that's a good idea, she could be a goose.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- What about you? - A kangaroo.- A kangaroo?!
0:14:12 > 0:14:16She'd be bouncing about all over the shop, wouldn't she?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Well, I hope she finds out soon enough.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- In the meantime, would you like to play a game?- Yeah!
0:14:22 > 0:14:26All right, Tiddlers, come over here. We're going to play a game.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30In this game, I want you to pretend to be ducklings, OK?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34I'm going to stand there and you have to waddle up behind me,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37but you have to be very quiet so I don't notice.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40If I turn around, you need to stand very still.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- Do you think you can do that?- Yes! - OK, you go there, I'll be down here.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51OK, and here we go.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Oh, I can hear some ducklings, let me have a look!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Oh, there wasn't any quacking,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00so there can't be any ducklings behind me. Must have imagined it.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Wait a minute, let me see! Oh, there's no ducklings here.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Hang about because here comes the ugly duckling! Quick, follow me!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12JAUNTY MUSIC
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Looks like our ugly duckling has found some friends to play with.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- What type of friends do you think they are?- Frogs.- Frogs.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- Why do you think they're frogs? - They're green.- They're green.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- They're dancing with the ugly duckling.- Yeah!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Do you think she can jump around?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- No.- No? Maybe she'll have a go.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37When she jumps, she might fall down.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Whoa!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Careful, little duckling.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06One frog is helping her.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13She knows that she is not a duckling.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18So now she thinks she's a frog. Do you think she could be a frog?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21No, she's not got any green on her.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Oh, dear.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- How do you think she feels?- Sad.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Why do you think she feels sad?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Because the frogs think she's not a frog.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54They don't think she's a frog, so they've gone. Aww. Come on.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Mr Bloom, do we have time to be frogs?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Hey, that's a great idea, we could pretend to be frogs!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09And you can do it too. Let's go!
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Ribbit! Ribbit!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Ribbit, ribbit.- Ribbit!
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Yeah, that's just how the frogs jumped, wasn't it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23You try at home as well. Jump really high. One, two, three!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Ribbit!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Hey, that's jolly good hopping.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Look, look. It's getting dark, isn't it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34It's time that we got home for tea.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I tell you what, it's time for us to hop it. Let's go!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Ribbit!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Oh, evening.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Evening, cats.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Now, you keep out of mischief, you two. All right?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Hey, look who it is! It's our little ugly duckling friend.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15MEOWING
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Ooh. I don't think they know what she is either.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04CAT MEOWS
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Oh, that must've hurt.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Oh, no. Here we go again. Now she thinks she's a cat.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well, that wasn't very friendly, was it?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Oh, dear. So, she isn't a duckling.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And she isn't a frog.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Or even a cat. What on earth could she be?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It's ever so tiring out here in the big wide world.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Night night. Sweet dreams, little one.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Do you ever have dreams? Well, I do. Sometimes mine are quite funny.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42The other night, I dreamt I grew the longest carrot I'd ever grown.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I had a right job pulling it out of the ground and all.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51But when it came out it wasn't a carrot at all. You know what it was?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55It was an orange umbrella. An umbrella!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I ask you! What about animals?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Do you think they dream? Our ugly duckling...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05what do you think she's dreaming about?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Perhaps she dreams of watery places,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18and the most beautiful white bird she's ever seen.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Perhaps she wishes that she could be like her,
0:25:36 > 0:25:41instead of being a funny grey creature, all alone in the world.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Oh, morning, everyone. How are you this morning?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Are you ready to go for a picnic? Well, hang on a minute.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Here we go. One picnic full of lovely vegetables.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Now, I know the perfect place for a picnic. It's down in the forest.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29But first, we've got to collect the Tiddlers.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So what are you waiting for?
0:28:36 > 0:28:41- How about here for our picnic? - How about over there?
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- What, you think over there looks better?- Yeah.- All right!
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Well, follow me. Come on.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- Right, who wants a banana? Hands up. - Me!- Right, there's one for you.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35- Do you want one? There we go. Hey, who's that?- The ugly duckling!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39It's the ugly duckling. Why is she hiding?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Because the fox is chasing her. - Who? Where is there a fox?- I see it!
0:30:43 > 0:30:47It's somewhere over there.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04RIBBITING
0:31:26 > 0:31:28SPLASH!
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- We need to clean up this! - Go put it in the wheelbarrow.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Well, the year is certainly moving on, isn't it?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Do you know what season it is? I'll give you a clue.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37It's the season where the leaves go brown
0:32:37 > 0:32:39and they fall off the trees.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Do you know what season it is? - Autumn!- Autumn!
0:32:43 > 0:32:45That's right. It's autumn.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48And autumn is one of my favourite seasons.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52You know what? These leaves are getting very messy.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- So these Tiddlers, you're helping me clean them up, aren't you?- Yeah!
0:32:56 > 0:33:00We'll gather up the leaves, pop them in the wheelbarrow,
0:33:00 > 0:33:03and then do you know where we'll take them?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05You're going to take them to your compost.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10That's right, we'll go take them to Compo, won't we? Come on.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13There's millions of these leaves.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- Come on, can you scoop up these leaves?- Mr Bloom, look what I found.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Hey, Mohammed, that's very interesting.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Do you know what this is? Do I wear it like an earring?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- No!- What is it?
0:33:26 > 0:33:32- Conker.- It's a conker, that's right. This is a conker.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Did you know a conker is a type of seed?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41If you plant it, this conker, do you know what it would grow into?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Yeah.- Would it grow into a giant conker?- No!
0:33:45 > 0:33:49I'll tell you. This little conker will grow into a tree.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52I tell you what that is, Mohammed.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55That is a little bit of nature magic.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57And all the animals and the trees,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59they all change with the seasons.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Right now, the leaves are falling off the trees, aren't they?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07- But what will happen in spring? - The leaves are going to grow.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11That's right! Hopefully, the leaves will grow on the trees.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14It's the same with animals.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17You know those yellow ducklings we saw hatch in the summer?
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Well, they will grow beautiful brown, sleek feathers.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23That's just more nature magic.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Right now, we need to get down to the pond,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30cos there's a special piece of nature magic about to happen.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Come on, Tiddlers, follow me!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Hey, who's that over there? - Ugly duckling.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48That's right, the ugly duckling. And I think she's just waking up.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- Does she look different to you?- Yes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- How does she look?- Like a princess.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26- What do you think?- Beautiful. - She's not an ugly duckling.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- Not any more, is she? Do you know what she's turned into?- A swan.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- A swan!- A swan! That's right, Tiddlers.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Do you know who this is? - The swan queen!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43The swan queen, that's right.
0:35:58 > 0:36:04- How do you think she's feeling? - Happy.- Yeah, I reckon so as well.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Because she's found out what she is now.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Because she's found out what she is.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Now the swan can show her what to do.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40You know what?
0:36:40 > 0:36:44I think the swan queen is inviting the ugly duckling
0:36:44 > 0:36:46to join their flock.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58- Shall we say goodbye to the swan? Bye-bye!- ALL: Bye!
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Well, that was some expedition, wasn't it?
0:37:05 > 0:37:09And our little feathery friend, she finally found her place,
0:37:09 > 0:37:14amongst the swans. That is what I call nature magic.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20And, do you know? It's going on all around us, all of the time.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22So, keep your eyes open,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25and maybe you can spot some nature magic next time.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31I'll see you soon. All right, Compo, I'm coming.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Someone's hungry!
0:37:35 > 0:37:37There you go.
