0:01:06 > 0:01:09Bedtime, Lucy! >
0:01:09 > 0:01:12OK, Mum.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Hi, everyone.- Hi, Lucy.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Guess what.- What? - We've been to a party.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Not really a party, a get-together.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46The food was delicious, I ate six bananas.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49No, you didn't, you ate seven.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56An orang-utan has moved in next door and she wanted to meet us all.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00We wanted you to come but you were at school.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Oh, that's OK.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Why don't we tell Lucy an extra special story tonight
0:02:07 > 0:02:10because she missed the party?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I could tell her about the time I ate 32 bananas.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Thanks, but I have a better idea.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Why don't we tell Lucy about our friend who moved home?
0:02:21 > 0:02:26You mean the story about Nathalie, that was amusing.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Please tell me, Nelson.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Very well, this is the story of Nathalie's Neighbours.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38Nathalie the antelope had moved into a new home. She was excited.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42This is what I've always wanted. Nice view.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Pretty tree for shade and shelter.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48And it's such a nice neighbourhood.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Oh, I wonder who lives there.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Hello.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57This is your new neighbour.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02It'll be nice to have someone to talk to about music and ballet...
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Hello, Natalie, I was just eating a muddy potato.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09So, I hear we're neighbours.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Yes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16# I like a nice pile of melons with my tea
0:03:16 > 0:03:19# And at half past seven, well, my idea of heaven
0:03:19 > 0:03:23# Is another bite of melon or three. #
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Nathalie didn't like her neighbour. - Oh!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Herbert was messy.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Oh, THAT'S where my banana skin went.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37# Ta na na na na na na. # Spin.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41# Ta na na na na na na. # Plie.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44DRUMS PLAY
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Herbert was noisy.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51That's it, I've had enough.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Nathalie went to see Audrey, the agony ostrich, for advice.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Hi, Natalie, how can I help you?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- I don't like my neighbour.- Go on.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05He's driving me mad. He's messy and noisy...
0:04:05 > 0:04:11- Herbert?- Yes, how did you know? - Oh, just a guess.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What shall I do?
0:04:13 > 0:04:19Well, you'll have to find Herbert a new home, as far away as possible.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21She began searching straight away.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Oh, this water hole would make a nice home for Herbert.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Hu-hu-hu.- Hmm, perhaps not.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Ooh, that looks quite nice.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh, dear.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Nathalie had to search for a very long time,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46but finally she found a nice muddy puddle.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Perfect.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53And what made this home especially perfect
0:04:53 > 0:04:56was it was miles from anywhere.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00This is a nice neighbourhood.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Grunt-grunt-grunt.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- There are too many watermelons for MY liking.- Watermelons?!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Grunt-grunt-grunt.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Yum-Yum.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22I hope you like it here, Herbert. It's so much more...you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Sorry, did you say something? Yum-yum-yum.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32And so, Herbert moved to the puddle on the hill and was very happy.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34That's Herbert gone.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39But what if another warthog moves into Herbert's old burrow?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Natalie decided to take no chances on her new neighbours -
0:05:44 > 0:05:46she would interview them herself.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Hello, Natalie.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Could you wipe your feet, please, Pauline?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56No, that won't do. Next, please.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02Hello, Alan. To start, tell me, do you have any hobbies?
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Hobbies? Oh, yes, of course, I'm very interested in ants.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Did you know that there are lots of different kinds of ants?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16And each ant is particularly suited to the place it lives...
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- SHE YAWNS - Alan, can I stop you there?
0:06:20 > 0:06:25I'm sorry, but I think you're too boring to have as a neighbour.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- No offence. - No, of course not. Thanks, anyway.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Too big!
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Too small!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Too spiky!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Too smooth!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Nathalie only had ONE animal left to see.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42You must be the lovely Nathalie.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Ooh, yes, that's me.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51- And you are...? - Harry. Harry the hyena. Hee-hee.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Nathalie was very impressed with Harry. He was smart and polite.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59The perfect neighbour.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I like things quiet, neat and tidy.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Me too. Spick and span, that's old Harry. Hee-hee-hee.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Hee-hee-hee.- Ah, good, good.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Natalie told Harry he could move in straight away.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16HE WHISTLES
0:07:16 > 0:07:20ALL: Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Oh, you never said you had a family.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26ALL: Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Don't worry, Nat, they're as good as gold.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- Hee-hee-hee-hee. - Eh? What? Who's that?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48CONTINUOUS LAUGHTER
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Go on, son, laugh your little tail off.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57He's got his father's laugh.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59ALL LAUGH
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I hope this is just a bad dream.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And one. # Ta la la la la la. #
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Plie.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And two. # Da la la la la la la. #
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Plie.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.- Plie.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21# Ta la la la la la la la. #
0:08:21 > 0:08:24She looks funny, Dave.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28# Da-da-da, ho-ho-ho, de-de-de. #
0:08:28 > 0:08:33'Ere, don't mind the kids, Nat, they're just having a laugh.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Hee-hee-hee.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Nathalie soon realised she'd made a BIG mistake.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44The hyenas were terribly noisy and extremely messy.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49And worst of all, worst of all by far was the laughter.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Nathalie decided she had to do something.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58My new neighbours are driving me mad with their laughing.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04- What shall I do?- There's only one thing you can do. Get Herbert back.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Nathalie had a plan.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Grunt-grunt.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Hello, Natalie.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Hi, Herbert. Do you miss your old home?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Oh, no, the new pad is much better -
0:09:25 > 0:09:29beautiful mud pool, lots of watermelons.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- So you won't be coming back then? - Don't think so.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- Well, can't stop, have to get back to my watermelons.- Bye, Herbert.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Nathalie's plan hadn't worked.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44LOUD LAUGHTER
0:09:45 > 0:09:49There's only one thing left to do.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51DRUMS PLAY
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Hello. - Eh!? You're a long way from home.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01That's where you're wrong, Herbert. This is my NEW home.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- We're neighbours again.- Huh, you've got to laugh, haven't you?
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Natalie and Herbert have been good neighbours ever since.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- I'm glad I'VE got good neighbours. - Who?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- You lot, of course.- Oh, yes.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And we're glad to have you too. But...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I know, time for bed. Good night, everyone.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33ALL: Sleep tight, Lucy.
