0:01:26 > 0:01:29TAPPING
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- Hi, everyone! - ALL: Hello, Lucy!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- HOOTING - ..Boris?- Hi, Lucy. What's wrong?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Nothing. Only...you look different.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Whiter.- Oh, yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Sometimes, on cold nights, my fur turns white, like, um...camouflage.
0:01:55 > 0:02:02- I see. And you seem to have a different accent.- I had lessons.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Really, Boris? Well, you certainly SOUND different.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12- I bet you can still do your famous Russian bear dance.- Um...- Come on.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Don't be shy.- Did someone mention dancing? Hi, Lucy. Don't worry.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22RUSSIAN ACCENT: This is the REAL me. We had you fooled there.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26You certainly did. But what are you two up to?
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- Snowbert popped round to tell you a special story.- Sounds exciting.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- What's it about?- Wait a moment. We have to get settled in first.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43This is the story of Hercule Moustache.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Sidney the seal was juggling some fish.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53HE SIGHS
0:02:53 > 0:02:57BARKS THEN WHISTLES
0:02:58 > 0:03:04I spy with my little eye something beginning with...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08An iceberg...
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Sidney had seen MANY icebergs in his time, but this one was new.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17And on the iceberg sat a very large walrus.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22I wonder who it is. Never seen a walrus in these parts before.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Ahoy there!
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Hello! My name is Sidney the seal. Pleased to meet you.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- FRENCH ACCENT: - I am Hercule Moustache.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39My bottom is cold from sitting on this iceberg for so long.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh... Have you come far, then?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47I have come from a place called Mossy Bay.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- You've probably heard of it.- No.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Oh...it is a beautiful spot!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Famous for the scenery... and ze moss, of course.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- SIGHING:- I miss it already.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05..Oh, ar, ar, it's nice here too.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11- Lots of things to see and do. - Ye-es...so I have been told.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I am on my holidays, you see,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18and my friend suggested the North Pole.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23So here I am...only, it doesn't look very interesting.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27You won't be disappointed. I could show you around.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Thank you. That would be nice.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Hercule, I'll take you to the most spectacular sight you've ever seen.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh, really? And what might that be?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41It's a surprise, ar, ar. Follow me.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47On your left, you can see hundreds of icebergs of different sizes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49My dear Sidney,
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I have seen enough icebergs to last me a lifetime.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Where is the surprise you spoke of?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00You'll soon find out.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06OK, this is the first stop on our guided tour.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Icebergs, I expect(!)- # De-dah! #
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Hmm... I see...
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- I'm not really one for modern art, but...- Hello.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- That's my friend Snowbert.- A bear! - He made the ice sculptures.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Oh. I see. That is your surprise. Very good.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- Ah, yes. A bear who does sculpture. Very good, indeed.- That wasn't it.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Your surprise will be much more spectacular.- It WILL?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Yes! Snowbert will show us the way. Come on.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48'I packed some things in a rucksack and the three of us set off.'
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Is it much further?
0:05:51 > 0:05:56And that wind is very cold for me. BRRR!
0:05:58 > 0:06:03I knew I should have gone to the Sahara. Sunshine...sand...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Relaxation!
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- D'you like our fountain?- Very nice. Oui, oui. I've seen them before.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Bigger than this, of course.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17ARGH!
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- LAUGHING:- This whale will take us across the water.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Across ze water? Oh... I won't get wet, will I?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30North, please.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36'Eventually, the ice became so thick that the whale could go no further.'
0:06:36 > 0:06:39What's happening? We've stopped.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Has he broken down? Ooh, la, la!
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- This is a disaster!- Don't worry, we can walk the rest of the way.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51More walking?! I don't believe it!
0:06:52 > 0:06:58It is like ze marathon! After THIS holiday, I will need ANOTHER one!
0:06:58 > 0:07:03'Sidney and I were getting fed up with Hercule's moaning.'
0:07:03 > 0:07:07North, always north.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Almost there, ar, ar!
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- I like this view!- Y-Yes...very nice.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Can we sit down now?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Yes, Hercule. Just sit there.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30BARKING Yeah!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33More... Always more!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Whee!- Oh...!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Oh, no... This snow is everywhere!
0:07:50 > 0:07:55What have you done to ze moustache of poor Hercule?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59It's a SNOW ride. You're meant to be covered in snow!
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I should never have come to the North Pole.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08'Now we were REALLY fed up with Hercule.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12'We'd shown him so many exciting things
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- 'and all he could do was complain.' - Maybe you SHOULD've stayed at home.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Yes, in the south.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23HE COUGHS DELIBERATELY
0:08:23 > 0:08:28So where is this surprise you have promised me?
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Well, Hercule, our journey is over. We're here, at last.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Here? Here is my surprise?
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Yes. Make yourself comfortable. The show is about to begin.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48A SHOW? Show?! But this is madness.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Here there is only black sky... and ice.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57'Hercule felt disappointed, but he didn't dare complain any more.'
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Did you know that the spot we're sitting on is the exact North Pole?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Yes, this is as far north as you can go.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Really? That's very interesting.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Let's have a picnic!
0:09:13 > 0:09:20A fish. As we walruses say, "Who could wish for more than a fish?"
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Thank you for the picnic surprise. Merci. Thank you, my friends.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30The picnic wasn't our surprise.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33But look up! Up at the sky, Hercule.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37'Hercule looked up and the skies began to change.'
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Welcome, Hercule, to your surprise.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The Northern Lights!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It... It is SO beautiful!
0:09:46 > 0:09:53It is spectacular... Thank you for this wonderful surprise.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59- We're glad you enjoyed your holiday at the North Pole.- Look! The lights!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02THEY SIGH
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Hercule had enjoyed the Northern Lights so much
0:10:09 > 0:10:14he promised to tell all his friends to visit the North Pole too.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- I feel like Hercule.- What? Have you got a moustache?- No, silly.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24I mean I'm like Hercule because I got a lovely surprise too.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Snowbert's story.- Glad you liked it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33- And now isn't it time YOU went travelling north?- Back to my bed?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Yes. Goodnight, Lucy.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Goodnight, everyone. See you soon. - ALL: Goodnight, Lucy.
