Bedtime, Lucy! > | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
OK, Mum. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Hi, everybody! | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
ALL LAUGHING | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Listen to this - kangaroos cannot walk backwards. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
-No? Really? That's amazing! -Hmm. -I've got a better one. Listen. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
A duck's quack doesn't echo, but no-one knows why. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:56 | |
Crocodiles' mouths are so big, they can't put their tongues out. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:02 | |
ALL: Ohh! | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
-Excuse me, but what are you all talking about? -Hi, Lucy. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
We're telling amazing animal facts. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Did you know, for instance, that an ant can lift 50 times its own weight? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
Really? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
And it pulls 30 times its own weight! | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
You must all be experts. You're so clever. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
We're not experts. Alan the Aardvark is. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-He really does know everything about ants. -Everything? -Wow. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:37 | |
Let me tell you all about him. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Alan the Aardvark liked ants more than anything else in the world. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
Oh, look, an ant. Oh, delicious. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Look - another ant! | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Delicious. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Oh! More ants - little green ones. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
How exciting! | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
The trouble was that Alan thought everyone was as interested in ants. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
Look out. Here comes Alan the Aardvark. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
- Let's hide! - Hide, Doris! | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
Alan! Fancy meeting you here(!) | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-Lovely day for the ants. -Ants? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
Yes, ants. Aren't ants amazing? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Did you know that an ant can lift 50 times its own weight? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
Oh? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
And there are over 2,726,111 ants in every colony. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:48 | |
That adds up to an amazing... | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
several billion ants alive on earth today. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
Fascinating(!) Well, I must be going. I've got some duck things to do. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:01 | |
Amazing, eh? Did you know that some ant hills have up to 78 floors? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
You can find ants everywhere. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Under stones, for example. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
Ee, look out! | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Oh, hi, Toby. I didn't see you there. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
Doris was just asking me about ants. Do you like ants? | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
-Well... -Of course, there are thousands of different kinds of ant. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
Wood ants, sand ants, rock ants, tree ants... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
'Alan was starting to annoy the other animals. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
'Then Doris had a good idea.' | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
WHISPERS | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Oh, yes. Yellow ones, blue ones... | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
big ones, small ones. Some ants can fly, some can dig gigantic tunnels. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:59 | |
Alan, we're taking you on holiday. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Holiday? I can't. What about the a...? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:06 | |
They walk, one after another, in a line like this. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-HE SIGHS -Oh, it's no good. Grapes just aren't the same as ants. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:23 | |
Alan didn't really enjoy the holiday at the oasis. He missed the ants. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:29 | |
Relax, Alan. You're on holiday. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Holiday? Oh, yes. Holiday. I forgot. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
Would you like a drink, Alan? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
Would I like a drink? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
No, thanks. ..Er, yes, please. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
-Coconut or watermelon? -I'll have coconut. No, watermelon. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
Sorry - coconut. It's sweeter. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Maybe I want something to quench my thirst. In which case, watermelon. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
-No, coconut. -Coconut or watermelon?! | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
Difficult. They both taste really nice. So why don't I try... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:10 | |
watermelon? No, no! Coconut! Oh! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Ohh... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
I don't really feel very thirsty after all. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
Let's think of something nice to do. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
-Yes! Good idea! -What do you want to do? Go for a walk or a swim? | 0:06:27 | 0:06:34 | |
Mm, a swim would be nice. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
A swim it is, then. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-No, let's go for a walk. -Decided. > | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-We're going for a walk. -Where to? -Sorry? -Where to? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:50 | |
Over the mountains. To the palm trees. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
I wish you'd make up your minds! | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
-I'm thirsty. -Oh(!) | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Is there anything to drink? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
PEEP-PEEP | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Nice sound, Alan. Do it again. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Do you really like it, Toby? Listen to this, then. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
PLAYS A TUNE THROUGH HIS SNOUT | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Alan had finally found something he wanted to do. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
Whoops! | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
Hey! Bring that back! | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Don't worry, little egg. You're safe now. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
There were ants everywhere. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-This all started when Alan went on holiday! -Stop that! I'm an elephant! | 0:07:49 | 0:07:56 | |
I'm an elephant! | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
What ARE we going to do? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
I have an idea. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Ronald the Rhino decided to break down the ant hill | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
which had now grown very big. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
Go, Ronald, go! | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-Uh-oh! -'The animals realised they were in real trouble now.' | 0:08:22 | 0:08:28 | |
What are we going to do, Zed? I'm getting Alan the Aardvark! | 0:08:28 | 0:08:34 | |
STILL MAKING MUSIC | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Alan! Thank goodness I've found you. You've got to help us. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:49 | |
-The ants are everywhere! -Ants? What are ants? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:55 | |
Ants! You can't have forgotten! You're an expert! | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-The little black things! -Grapes? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-No! They run about everywhere. -Like zebras? | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
Sorry, old chap. No time to lose. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
Jump on my back - I'll show you. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Ohh...those ants. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
'Alan knew exactly what to do.' | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
DEEP BREATH | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
PLAYS A TUNE | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
Alan led the ants to the other side of the Blue Mountain, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
where they could build as many ant hills as they wanted. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
That was a lovely story, Nelson. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-I'm glad you enjoyed it. -I have an amazing animal fact. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
Did you know that tortoises can live for 120 years? | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
Amazing! | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
-I have an amazing fact for everyone. -Please, tell us, Georgina! | 0:10:17 | 0:10:23 | |
You've all had so much fun that it's way past bedtime. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:29 | |
ALL: Oh, no! | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
-Goodnight, everyone. -Night, Lucy. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
