0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello! I'm Lucy.

0:00:09 > 0:00:15I live at 64 Zoo Lane, and I have some very special neighbours. Look!

0:00:15 > 0:00:19# There's one with a hump And one who can jump

0:00:19 > 0:00:22# And one who is a little bit plump

0:00:22 > 0:00:26# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Some like it hot And some like it chilly

0:00:29 > 0:00:33# And some like it both ways and that's a bit silly

0:00:33 > 0:00:36# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:36 > 0:00:39# Some are friendly, some are scary

0:00:39 > 0:00:43# But one thing is sure, not one is ordinary

0:00:43 > 0:00:46# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Some are spotty, some are stripy

0:00:49 > 0:00:53# Or prickly and woolly and furry and slimy

0:00:53 > 0:00:56# Some are quite big And some are very small

0:00:56 > 0:00:58# And the last one's Georgina

0:00:58 > 0:01:00# Who's incredibly tall

0:01:00 > 0:01:03# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Gunner the Seagull has stopped by on his way home.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50But not everyone is pleased to see him.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- This is OUR tree. - And you're not invited.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Oh, oh...thank you, Nelson.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59I'M pleased to see you, Gunner.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04It's all right, Lucy. In fact, those monkeys remind me of a story.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- BOTH:- A story?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Why didn't you say so?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12You can come and sit with us - in the tree.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Oh... Monkeys WILL be monkeys! - HE LAUGHS

0:02:15 > 0:02:19Why don't you two come down to listen, with Lucy?

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Come on, Giggles. Come on, Tickles.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26It was a beautiful sunny day at Mossy Bay.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29'As usual, everyone was having fun.'

0:02:31 > 0:02:33HE HUMS HAPPILY

0:02:41 > 0:02:45PLAYFUL LAUGHTER

0:02:52 > 0:02:56'Jamie decided to go for a dip in the sea,

0:02:57 > 0:02:58'when...'

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Ooh!

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Sorry, Thelma. Didn't see you there.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07- SADLY:- That's OK.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10What are you doing, floating out here all by yourself?

0:03:10 > 0:03:13It's nothing, really.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16What's the matter? You can tell me.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's just...you're all having

0:03:18 > 0:03:20so much fun over there, and...

0:03:20 > 0:03:22no-one's ever asked me

0:03:22 > 0:03:24to come and play at Mossy Bay.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- That's silly!- I know.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'm just a daft old whale

0:03:29 > 0:03:31wanting to play on the beach.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35I mean it's silly you've never been invited.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41'Jamie at once invited Thelma to play on the beach.'

0:03:42 > 0:03:43Whoo-hoo!

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Will there be any other whales there?

0:03:52 > 0:03:57No. But there's Sharon Puffin, Thomas Puffin, and Lewis Puffin...

0:03:57 > 0:03:59oh - and Hercule Moustache.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00JAMIE LAUGHS

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Over here, Sharon...

0:04:17 > 0:04:19To you, Sharon!

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Sharon?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Look...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yoo-hoo!

0:04:29 > 0:04:30HE HUMS

0:04:31 > 0:04:33What is this?

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Hello, everyone!

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Look who's here.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Oh. Er...hi, Thelma. What are you doing this close to the bay?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Jamie invited me.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46He did?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49You can't bring a whale in here, Jamie.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Mossy Bay is for puffins only.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53< Ahem!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56And...walruses of course.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58No offence, Thelma, but...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00you're just too big.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03But I invited her to come and play football.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Of course!

0:05:05 > 0:05:09Thelma is very welcome to come and play with you, Jamie.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Erm...

0:05:10 > 0:05:15if you wouldn't mind moving just a little bit to the left?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh... Of course.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24How's she going to play football? She's got no legs.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26She'll be perfect.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35'To start with, the football game went well and the others began

0:05:35 > 0:05:37'to enjoy having Thelma to play.'

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Wa-hey!- Whee!

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- SHE GULPS - Sorry!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44That's the second one she's swallowed!

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oh! Now we have to make ANOTHER one!

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Bah!

0:05:53 > 0:05:56THEY CHEER

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Quick, Thelma - save it!

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Look out!

0:06:04 > 0:06:07My beautiful picture!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Our football pitch!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Are you OK, Thelma?- I think so.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18- It's all right, everyone. - No, it's not all right!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Our football pitch is covered in whale.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Don't be mean! Take no notice, Thelma.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28No, Jamie, Sharon's right.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30I'd better go home.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34THELMA GROANS WITH EFFORT

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Hmm, you are totally stuck.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43We will have to wait for the high tide. When the sea comes in,

0:06:43 > 0:06:45the waves will lift you out.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47How long will that be?

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Uh, we must wait all day...I think.

0:06:51 > 0:06:56No football all day?! This is YOUR fault, Thelma!

0:06:56 > 0:07:00I just wanted to join in, not mess everything up.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Don't cry, Thelma. It's not your fault.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I spoiled everything.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'm just a clumsy old whale!

0:07:11 > 0:07:14THELMA SOBS

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Oh! That was amazing!

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Can you do it again, Thelma?- Yeah.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Wooh!

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Wooh!

0:07:28 > 0:07:33I know Thelma's visit has had its difficulties

0:07:33 > 0:07:36but she is our guest.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38She messed up our beach!

0:07:38 > 0:07:42And my very fine artwork, Sharon.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45But that does not mean we should be unkind.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48We must be hospitable.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Hospital what?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53That means, eh...

0:07:53 > 0:07:56We must make her feel at home.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Yeah, that, yeah.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Whoo! Whee! >

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Whoo!

0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Oh, dear!- Wow!- That looks great!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Please, can WE have a go?

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Of course!

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ha-ha!

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Whee!- Wa-hey!

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- This is great!- Yeah!

0:08:26 > 0:08:31- Whee!- Ha-ha!

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Hey, what about Hercules?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38THEY CHEER

0:08:38 > 0:08:42No, really, I am fine right here.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46I don't think this is a good idea.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Whoo! This is fantastic!

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Ah! Ha-ha!

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Whee! Yeah!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59'The puffins were having so much fun,

0:08:59 > 0:09:04'they did not realise it was already late afternoon.'

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Wa-hey! ..Oh!

0:09:07 > 0:09:10The tide is coming in.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13It is time for Thelma to go.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Oh, can't she stay here?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Please, Thelma!

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Oh, thank you, Sharon, but Hercules is right.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27- I need to get back home.- Oh!

0:09:29 > 0:09:33First, she didn't want Thelma here, now she doesn't want her to go!

0:09:33 > 0:09:36ALL: Oh!

0:09:36 > 0:09:39THELMA GROANS WITH EFFORT

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Push, Thelma, push!

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'm still stuck!

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Ooh!- We must all help.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Come on - push!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Come on. Push!

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Just a little...bit...more.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Here I go!

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- ALL:- Hurray!

0:10:14 > 0:10:19Thelma the Whale was the best guest they'd had in many years.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- BOTH:- That was a great story!

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Come up here and tell some more.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Yes, please. You can stay all night if you like.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34Ha-ha! I'd love to, but I've got to get back to the seaside.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39- It's already really late and nearly...- Bedtime! I know.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44- I'll come back and tell another story soon.- Yes, please, Gunner.
