Bedtime, Lucy! > | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
OK, Mum. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
TAPPING | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
I don't think she'd enjoy that. MONKEYS: But it's funny. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
-I prefer the one about the day Doris the duck... -No, no. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
I think we should have the story about Zed the zebra. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
-When he lost his stripes and... -Hello-o! | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Oh, hello, Lucy. You haven't been standing there long, have you? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
No. Um, what are you doing? | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-We're trying to decide which story to tell you. -But it's not easy. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
We all have different ideas. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
I'm sure they'd all be good stories. Which story do YOU like, Boris? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:12 | |
-Me? -Yes. You look like a bear who knows a good story when he hears it. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
I like them all. But, um... | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
my favourite is Molly's story about Doris and the dawn chorus. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
Oh... How kind of you, Boris. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Will you tell us your story, Molly? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
Course...if we're all agreed. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
-THEY AGREE -Then I'll begin. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Every morning, when the sun rose over the savannah, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
each of the animals greeted the new day in their own special way. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:46 | |
# Toot, toot, toot Toot, toot, toot toot. # | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
-Morning, Doris. Lovely day. -Morning. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-# Toot, toot, toot... # -Oww...! | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
OPERATIC SINGING: # La, la, la-ah! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
# La, la, lah! La, la, la, lah! # | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
DRUMS BEAT: Hmm, that one's a bit out. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
- ..That's better. - Play the music, Mr Warthog! | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
One....two...three... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
All over the savannah, animals were joining in the dawn chorus. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
-It was getting noisier and noisier. -INSECTS CHIRRUP | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
-# Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza! Pi-izza! # -QUACK! | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
RATTLES TONGUE IN MOUTH | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
DEEP, SLOW SOUNDS | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
Hello, Doris. We're playing our favourite game. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
BOTH: Silly faces! | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
What's the matter, Doris? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
-It's the noise! -WHAT noise? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-You know. The dawn chorus. It sounds terrible! -DOES it? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
Everyone sings a different song. It's dreadful. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
Why don't YOU make up a new song? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
After all, you're very clever. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
..Oh, yes. That's right, I AM. Very, VERY clever, aren't I? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:22 | |
-I'll be back in a minute. -Me first. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
HE LAUGHS That was a good one! Look at this. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
Doris the duck decided to make up a song of her own. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
Hmm, let me see now... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
What rhymes with "quack"? Ah, I've got it! | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
"Quack"! # I'm a duck, quack, quack | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
# Quack, quack, quack, quack | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
# I'm a duck, quack, quack | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
-# Quack... # -That's a nice song, Doris. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
Oh. It IS, isn't it? I wrote it myself, you know. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
It's very cute. Sing it again. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
# I'm a duck, quack, quack Quack, quack, quack, quack | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
# I'm a duck, quack, quack Quack, quack, a-quacketty-quack. # | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
That was great. Very nice indeed. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
Why don't we ALL sing the same song together every morning? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-'The animals agreed. It sounded like a good idea.' -That settles it. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
My song it is, then. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Next morning, the animals met Doris near the jungle for rehearsals. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:37 | |
EXCITED CHATTER | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-QUACK!! -Ahem! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Um, animals, birds and insects, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
welcome to the first performance of the new dawn chorus. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
May I present your conductor for this morning's concert, Doris the duck! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
-Right, then. After three. One...two... -Oh, um... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-Excuse me, Doris. -Yes? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
-Don't you think we should all warm up first? -Warm up? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
Like this. # Do, re, mi fa, so, la, ti, do! # | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
ALL: Mm... Yeah! | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
ALL: # Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do! # | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
OK, OK, enough of that. Everybody, after me. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
# Quack! # | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
NERVOUS MUTTERING | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
Come on, then. What are you waiting for? After me. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-One, two, three, four... -HALF-HEARTEDLY: # Quack, quack! # | 0:06:43 | 0:06:49 | |
Come on! Come on - it's not that hard! Listen! # Quack! # | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
-TUNELESSLY: # Quack! # -Brilliant! | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
Join in after me. In your own time, Herbert. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
SLOW DRUMBEAT | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
# I'm a duck, quack, quack Quack, quack, quack, quack... # | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
THEY REPEAT SONG, FALTERINGLY | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
# I'm a duck... # STRANGE ANIMAL SOUNDS | 0:07:15 | 0:07:21 | |
Not bad. That wasn't bad at all. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-I disagree. -Disagree? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-The song doesn't sound right. -What d'you mean it doesn't SOUND right? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:36 | |
Well, we're not ALL ducks like you. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Not ducks?! | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
THIS is a quacking song, so we will all quack! | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
-Even you, Mr Not-A-Duck! -Hmm! | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
# I'm a duck, quack, quack Quack, quack, quack, quack... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-# I'm a duck, quack, quack... -Quack, quack... # -Louder, Ronald! | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
I have to go and bash a boulder. I'd better help. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
The animals didn't enjoy singing the quacking song. They left the choir. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:13 | |
# Quack, quack! Quack quack! Quack, quack! I'm a duck! | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
# Quack, quack Quack, quack! Quack quack! | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-# I'm a duck, quack, quack... # -Ahem! Um, Doris? -What?! | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
-They've all gone. -Good! -But... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
They were awful singers, anyway! | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
And so are you. Goodbye. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
# I'm a duck, quack, quack Quack, quack, quack, quack... | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
# I'm a duck, quack, quack Quack, quack... # | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-SADLY: -# I'm a duck... # | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-SOBBING: -I've lost all my friends. Their singing wasn't THAT bad. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:54 | |
If I'd not lost my temper, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
we could've ALL sung my song, and... | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
And that would've been really nice. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
SHE CRIES | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
-Don't cry, Doris. -QUACK! | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
You've all come back! | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
-We've decided to have another go. -You HAVE?! | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
It's so good... We'd like to sing it with you. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
We'll have to wait till dawn. We've new ideas for the arrangement. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
So everyone went to sleep in the volcano, and when the sun rose, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
Nelson invited Doris to conduct the animals again. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:40 | |
# I'm a bird, tweet, tweet, Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
# I'm a rhino, bash, bash Bash, bash, bash, bash | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |

And Doris! FANFARE | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
ALL: # She's a du-ck quack, quack, quack, quack | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |

# Quack, quack, quack...QUA-ACK! # | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
-That was a lovely story, Molly! -I'm glad you enjoyed it. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
But now I think it's time for bed. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
-Goodnight, everyone. -ALL: Goodnight, Lucy! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
