Hello. I'm Lucy.

0:00:070:00:10

I live at 64 Zoo Lane and I have some very special neighbours. Look!

0:00:100:00:15

# There's one with a hump And one who can jump

0:00:150:00:19

# And one who is a little bit plump

0:00:190:00:22

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:220:00:26

# Some like it hot And some like it chilly

0:00:260:00:29

# And some like it both ways And that's a bit silly

0:00:290:00:33

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:330:00:36

# Some are friendly, some are scary

0:00:360:00:39

# But one thing is sure - not one is ordinary

0:00:390:00:43

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:430:00:46

# Some are spotty, some are stripy

0:00:460:00:49

# They're prickly and woolly and furry and slimy

0:00:490:00:53

# Some are quite big And some are very small

0:00:530:00:56

# And the last one's Georgina who's incredibly tall

0:00:560:01:01

# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane. #

0:01:010:01:06

-Bedtime, Lucy. >

-OK, Mum.

0:01:100:01:14

-Hi, everybody!

-Hi, Lucy!

0:01:360:01:39

Well, aren't you all excited?

0:01:390:01:42

-Don't you know something special's going to happen?

-Like what?

0:01:420:01:46

-Well, like a party of something...

-What sort of a party?

0:01:460:01:52

Well, how about a birthday party, you know...

0:01:520:01:56

with balloons and presents?

0:01:560:01:59

-That would be great fun.

-But to have a birthday party...

0:01:590:02:04

..It has to be someone's birthday!

0:02:040:02:07

Exactly!

0:02:070:02:09

It's a pity we don't know anyone whose birthday it is, isn't it?

0:02:090:02:13

Well, actually...

0:02:150:02:17

Yes?

0:02:170:02:19

Well, actually, it's MY birthday today!

0:02:190:02:23

Oh?

0:02:230:02:25

Is it really?

0:02:250:02:27

It completely slipped my mind. And they say an elephant never forgets!

0:02:270:02:33

How foolish of us to forget!

0:02:330:02:36

So...there's no party, then?

0:02:360:02:39

No, not today. Sorry.

0:02:390:02:42

Never mind. You'll have another birthday next year.

0:02:420:02:47

Yes... I suppose I will...

0:02:470:02:51

SURPRISE!

0:02:520:02:55

Oh, thanks!

0:02:560:02:58

Now, then - how about a special birthday story?

0:02:580:03:04

I know - I'll tell you the one about Herbert's party.

0:03:040:03:08

Oh, yes!

0:03:080:03:10

Herbert was a very busy warthog.

0:03:140:03:17

Every morning, he would get up, have a bath...

0:03:180:03:22

..dry himself down...

0:03:250:03:28

Then he'd make some breakfast...

0:03:280:03:30

..and go for a long walk with his best friends - the flies!

0:03:390:03:44

Herbert would be the first to admit he wasn't the tidiest of animals.

0:03:440:03:50

In fact, his appearance was a bit of a joke on the savannah,

0:03:500:03:54

but everyone loved him.

0:03:540:03:57

Morning, Herbert. Nice day for the flies.

0:03:590:04:03

Hello, Herbert! Grown any nice warts lately?

0:04:070:04:11

One day, Herbert was wallowing in the mud

0:04:150:04:19

when he heard excited voices making plans for a party.

0:04:190:04:24

It's going to be great fun! Lots of music and dancing!

0:04:240:04:29

Keep still!

0:04:290:04:31

Your new stripes look great!

0:04:360:04:38

Quiet - it's a secret! We don't want old dusty bottom to find out!

0:04:380:04:43

I can't wait!

0:04:430:04:47

Hi, girls! Gosh! You look great!

0:04:540:04:57

Oh, hi, Herbert. Would you mind standing downwind?

0:04:570:05:02

-Sorry?

-The smell! The flies!

0:05:020:05:07

Oh, yes, I'm sorry.

0:05:070:05:09

Of course...

0:05:090:05:12

Clear off, you lot!

0:05:120:05:15

Go on! Buzz off!

0:05:150:05:17

You both look very glamorous today.

0:05:200:05:22

Er...going somewhere nice?

0:05:220:05:26

-Do you think pink really suits me?

-Can

-I

-come?

0:05:260:05:30

-Do I look too big in these eyelashes?

-Well, can I?

0:05:300:05:34

Sorry, Herbert, we can't gossip all day.

0:05:340:05:38

We've got things to do.

0:05:380:05:40

Oh, yes, right...

0:05:400:05:42

Of course...

0:05:420:05:45

Herbert wondered why everyone was ignoring him.

0:05:460:05:50

They're going to a party and I'm not invited!

0:05:500:05:54

I suppose I do look a bit of a mess.

0:05:540:05:57

Time for a warthog make-over.

0:05:570:06:01

Herbert had a long, luxurious pink bath.

0:06:020:06:07

Pink mud! Best-smelling warthog at the party!

0:06:070:06:10

Then he went for a haircut.

0:06:100:06:12

-# La-la-la... #

-Oh, Herbert! Keep still!

0:06:120:06:16

Ouch!

0:06:170:06:19

Oops! Oh, sorry!

0:06:190:06:22

# La-la-la... #

0:06:220:06:24

Nearly there!

0:06:240:06:26

# La-la-la... #

0:06:260:06:28

There!

0:06:280:06:31

What about that?

0:06:310:06:33

Wow! Groovy!

0:06:330:06:36

The other animals were getting ready for the party too.

0:06:380:06:42

No sign of Herbert! Let's start the party preparations without him.

0:06:420:06:47

PARTY MUSIC

0:06:580:07:02

Yoo-hoo!

0:07:060:07:08

Anybody there?

0:07:080:07:11

Nelson? Zed?

0:07:110:07:14

Molly?

0:07:140:07:16

They're not here.

0:07:160:07:19

-MUSIC BLARES

-Music? It's coming from my place!

0:07:190:07:23

# Pizza, pizza, pizza Pizza, pizza, pizza

0:07:230:07:29

# Pizza, pizza, pizza Pizza, pizza, pizza

0:07:290:07:35

# La-la-la, la-la-la... #

0:07:350:07:40

Hey! It's my birthday today! It's my party!

0:07:400:07:45

So that's what all the fuss was about!

0:07:450:07:49

Surprise, surprise!

0:07:490:07:52

Hey, guys! Let's party!

0:07:520:07:56

-Who are you?

-I'm Herbert, of course!

0:07:580:08:01

Oh?

0:08:010:08:04

-You're not Herbert!

-Oh, yes, I am!

0:08:040:08:07

Oh, no, you're not!

0:08:070:08:09

Herbert is smelly and dusty.

0:08:090:08:12

And itchy and funny and friendly.

0:08:120:08:15

You're much too smart and quite grumpy.

0:08:150:08:19

Where's Herbert? What have you done with him?

0:08:190:08:23

Oh, dear me!

0:08:230:08:25

Get him!

0:08:250:08:27

Wait! Wait! Stop! I am Herbert!

0:08:340:08:38

Look...

0:08:380:08:39

Nelson, old pal, old buddy! Let me have it!

0:08:400:08:45

Oh, no! MUTTERING

0:08:480:08:52

Well, you do look a bit like Herbert,

0:08:540:08:58

but I'm still not sure!

0:08:580:09:01

What about this?

0:09:050:09:07

There's still something missing...

0:09:090:09:13

I know!

0:09:130:09:15

HE WHISTLES

0:09:150:09:18

It is Herbert! We didn't think it was you

0:09:200:09:24

without the smell and the dust!

0:09:240:09:27

-And the flies!

-Will you forgive us, Herbert?

-Well...

0:09:270:09:32

-OK!

-HURRAH!

0:09:320:09:36

-Wait - on one condition...

-Yes?

-What?

0:09:360:09:40

We'll do anything at all!

0:09:400:09:43

-I forgive you if you...

-Yes? Yes?

0:09:430:09:48

-If you all have a mud bath!

-A mud bath?!

0:09:480:09:52

It's my birthday, I'm a warthog, so you've got to do things the warthog way!

0:09:520:09:58

LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

0:10:020:10:04

Herbert had the best party ever!

0:10:100:10:14

# La-la-la, la-la-la... #

0:10:140:10:18

Wicked!

0:10:180:10:21

A big mud bath and dust and flies!

0:10:210:10:24

What a great idea for a party!

0:10:240:10:27

Good night, birthday girl!

0:10:270:10:29

-LAUGHTER

-Good night, Nelson!

0:10:290:10:33

Sweet dreams!
