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

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Super Lucy, to the rescue!

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Oh, hello, Lucy.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45Hi, Nelson. I'm not Lucy. I'm Super Lucy!

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Watch this!

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Weeeee!

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Weeee!

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Be careful, Lucy.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Whoa! I'm feeling dizzy.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Why don't you sit down and listen?

0:02:03 > 0:02:09I know a rather good story about another superhero friend of mine.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Really? Who's that, Nelson?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13It's Zed the Zebra.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17'It was a fine morning on the savannah.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21'And Zed the Zebra was doing some running practice.'

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Neeow!

0:02:22 > 0:02:24HE PANTS

0:02:24 > 0:02:29Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Zed!

0:02:32 > 0:02:37Oh, Zed, it's so exciting watching you run!

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Now...ha-ha!

0:02:39 > 0:02:44Watching Zed is really fun, he has to be the number one!

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Go, Zed! Go!

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Actually, I'm getting a bit bored with running.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55I need a new challenge. Trouble is...

0:02:55 > 0:02:58nothing exciting ever happens around here.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59BANG!

0:02:59 > 0:03:02RUMBLING

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Whoa!

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Oh, look at the smoke coming out of that hill!

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Hmmm, very strange.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21COUGHING

0:03:22 > 0:03:28When the volcano rumbles, the animals must shelter before...

0:03:28 > 0:03:29before...

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Before what?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Do you know, I can't remember? Me and my memory.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Sorry, dears. I've got to get back to my dusting.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, but this is terrible!

0:03:42 > 0:03:46Are we in danger? Oh, Zed, what's going to happen?!

0:03:46 > 0:03:49We're going to have a real adventure.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53That's what's going to happen. Follow me, Natalie!

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Well, ha-ha!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Danger! Danger! Danger!

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Oh, the volcano's all smoky and there's big cracks in the ground!

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Esmeralda knew what to do, but she couldn't remember.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Calm down! It's just an old volcano.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Yeah, but why's it all smoky?

0:04:17 > 0:04:22Ah, yes...I've just remembered what happens to volcanoes

0:04:22 > 0:04:25when they're like that. ALL: Oh?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27They erupt!

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Oh! What's that?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I'll try to explain.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Here is our volcano.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37That's a lovely picture, Nelson.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Thank you. Ahem...

0:04:40 > 0:04:44An eruption is like, a sort of, explosion!

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Oh!

0:04:46 > 0:04:51The air will be full of hot ashes and lava and rocks!

0:04:51 > 0:04:53And boulders?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Ahem, no, not the sort you like, Ronald.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00I'm afraid, for our own safety, we must leave at once!

0:05:00 > 0:05:01ALL: Oh!

0:05:01 > 0:05:04This is all very frightening.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Don't worry, Natalie, I will look after you.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09My hero!

0:05:10 > 0:05:13'Everyone got ready to leave.'

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Goodbye, lovely home.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23Wait!

0:05:23 > 0:05:25ALL: Huh?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28We're all so happy here.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32Do we really want to leave our lovely homes?

0:05:32 > 0:05:33ALL: No!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Is there no other way?

0:05:36 > 0:05:41Actually, I have a clever plan to stop the volcano erupting.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43ALL: Hooray!

0:05:43 > 0:05:47What exactly is your clever plan, Nelson?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49E-erm...well...

0:05:49 > 0:05:54Oh, I expect I'll be the hero in Nelson's plan.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oh...

0:05:56 > 0:06:02First, we must walk to the volcano. And then, I...er...um...

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- well, I'll explain the rest when we get there.- Let's go!

0:06:10 > 0:06:11What do we do now?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Well, we, um...oh...

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Climb up the volcano?

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Yes! Yes, Natalie, yes. We must climb to the rim of the volcano.

0:06:22 > 0:06:27Hey, Nelson old boy, when will I be doing my bit?

0:06:27 > 0:06:31You know, the hero stuff?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Be patient, Zed. Your time will come.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Ah...oh.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41# The grand old elephant He marched us up the slope

0:06:41 > 0:06:45# He has a clever plan So we are full of hope. #

0:06:45 > 0:06:50Oh, where, oh, where will I find a hero to protect me?

0:06:50 > 0:06:54I will protect you, fair Natalie.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59My flower!

0:07:00 > 0:07:01HE PANTS

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Will you two get a move on?!

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Uh...oh.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Oh...

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Nelson, you are clever!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19I am?

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Look, everyone! Nelson wants us to use this boulder

0:07:23 > 0:07:26to block the hole in the volcano.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Er...oh, that's right, yes. All part of the plan.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Brilliant! You're going to get Ronald to roll this boulder

0:07:34 > 0:07:37down there and act as a giant bath plug!

0:07:37 > 0:07:42Yes, that's it. Plug the crater, and the volcano won't explode.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47So, Nelson, what do I do in this plan thingy?

0:07:47 > 0:07:52Um...well, I don't think we need your help, right now, Zed.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57Uh?! Fine. Find yourself another hero, then.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Zed, come back!

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Zed! Oh...

0:08:04 > 0:08:09'There was no time to worry about Zed. We needed to move a boulder.'

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Nnnngh!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12ALL: Hooray!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14ALL: Oh...

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Don't worry, we can try again.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Nnnngh!

0:08:28 > 0:08:29Oh!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31ALL: Oh, no!

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Time is running out.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37If we don't plug that hole, the volcano will explode.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Oh, Natalie! What have I done?

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Real heroes don't abandon their friends.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Huh! This is the last boulder.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59I've got your flower.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Not now, Zed.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Nnnngh!

0:09:06 > 0:09:09It's looking good! Well done, Ronald.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11ALL: Oooh!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Arrrgh!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Ahhh! Ooooh!

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Ahh-ohh! Waaah!

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Ahhh!

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Go, Zed, go!

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?

0:09:29 > 0:09:30ALL: Zed!

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Come on, Zed, you can do it!

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Waaah!

0:09:47 > 0:09:48RUMBLING

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Whoa!

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Outstanding, there...whoa! Hey-hey! Look at me!

0:10:00 > 0:10:03ALL: Hooray!

0:10:03 > 0:10:05You saved us all, Zed.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Just like a real hero!

0:10:08 > 0:10:09SHE KISSES

0:10:09 > 0:10:12But you're my hero too, Natalie.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15ALL: Hooray!

0:10:15 > 0:10:22And so we all danced until the sun set behind the old volcano.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I knew you didn't really have a plan, Nelson.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Yes, it's true. But all's well that ends well.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30When you have good friends

0:10:30 > 0:10:33there's always a solution to every problem.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36And now, it's time for bed.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38SHE YAWNS

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I have to recharge my super powers.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Ha-ha! Good night, Lucy.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Good night, everyone.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46ALL: Sleep tight.
