0:00:03 > 0:00:07# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane... #
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Hello, I'm Lucy. I live at 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:11 > 0:00:15and 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 > 0:00:26- # And who is a little bit plump - 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Some like it hot and some like it chilly
0:00:29 > 0:00:34# And some like it both ways and that's a bit silly
0:00:34 > 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# They're 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 > 0:01:03- # Who's incredibly tall - 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane
0:01:03 > 0:01:07# 64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane. #
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Bedtime, Lucy.- OK, Mum.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Whee-ee!
0:01:35 > 0:01:41- ALL: Hello, Lucy!- Hello, everyone. Look what I've got, Molly.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- What is it, Lucy?- A present for you. Ta-da!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Dead flowers!- I don't understand.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56They were beautiful when I picked them this morning.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00But flowers need water, Lucy. All plants do.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Never mind. I'm sure we can save them.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I hope so.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12This reminds me of a story of my nephew Nigel
0:02:12 > 0:02:17and Herbert's watermelons. Nigel had come over for a visit,
0:02:17 > 0:02:22so I decided to take him for a walk along the Zambam River.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Found you, Toby!- Hello, there!
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Hello, Nelson.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Does Nigel want to come and play hide and seek with us?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Maybe later, Kevin. Come on, Nigel, follow me.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- I'd like you to meet another of my friends.- Ohh!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Here we are.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- This is my good friend Herbert the warthog.- Hi!
0:02:48 > 0:02:54- Hello, Herbert. Keeping busy, I see. - Oh, hello, Nelson.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Quite right - busy, busy. One for you...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01and one for you.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03What's he doing, Uncle Nelson?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Today is ripening day,
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- the busiest day in the gardening year.- But it's worth it.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17- I'll have perfect, ripe watermelons tonight if I do it properly.- Wow!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Just got time for a quick tune.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Agh, my musical rock!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32This is a disaster. Rocks, watermelons,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35rocks, watermelons, rocks, watermelons,
0:03:35 > 0:03:41- rocks...- What's the problem?- Herbert loves playing his musical rocks.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Rocks... I've got to go and find another one,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48but if I leave the watermelons without water, they'll be ruined.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50BOTH: Hmm... Oh!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'll give a whole basket of yum-yum fruit
0:03:53 > 0:03:57to anyone who will look after my watermelons while I'm away
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- looking for a new rock. - Me, me, me! Mmm!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Are you quite sure, Nigel?
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Watermelons are a lot of work on ripening day.- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Easy-peasy!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Really?- I can do it!
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Terrific. Thank you, Nigel. The important thing is to water them
0:04:18 > 0:04:21little and often to keep them juicy and green.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Little and often, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29If they turn even a little bit yellow, they are completely ruined.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yeah, just leave it to me.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Good lad. Right, see you later.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Oh, yum yum! This is great!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Lots of delicious fruit for a bit of watering.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Time to get started, Nigel.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Remember the watermelons need water. - Little and often.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I know, Uncle Nelson.
0:04:52 > 0:04:59Hello, Nigel. Want to play snakes and ladders with us?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Whee!
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Yeah! ..Oh, I've just got to do something for Herbert first.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Don't miss all the fun! Whee!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Nigel watered as quickly as he could,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26but it still took a long time.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Ohh, at last!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Nigel had only just finished
0:05:30 > 0:05:34and it was nearly time to start watering again.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Ohh, there's got to be a quicker way.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53There! That should last for ages.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Play-time, here I come!
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Meanwhile, after a long walk,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Herbert reached the musical rock mine.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Got to find one with just the right sound.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Too clunky.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Too clinky.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Hmm, this is going to take longer than I thought.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20ALL LAUGH
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Got you!
0:06:31 > 0:06:35How's the watering going, Nigel? Are you doing as Herbert said?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Don't worry, Uncle Nelson, everything's under control.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44I've invented my own system for watering the plants more quickly.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Nigel is a very clever boy, you know.- Oh!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Herbert wasn't having much luck finding a musical rock.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Oh, too clanky. Not a single good rock in the whole mine.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Well, at least I've got my watermelons to look forward to.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07As Herbert started the long walk home,
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Nigel decided he'd better just check that the watermelons were all right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Oh! OHH-OHH-OHH!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18OHH-OHH-OHH!
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- That sounds like...- Nigel!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- NIGEL SOBS - What's the matter, Nigel?
0:07:27 > 0:07:33I promised Herbert I'd water them and...look!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Dried out like a stone.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43You're going to get into so-o-o much trouble.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Ohh, what am I going to tell Herbert?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I know who might be able to help,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52but we'll have to tell her what happened.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You mean...tell the truth?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Mm-hmm.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59NIGEL GULPS
0:07:59 > 0:08:05So you didn't water Herbert's plants like he told you to?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10I didn't think it would matter if I watered them all in one go.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16Maybe I can help. You can have some of my watermelons, Nigel.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Can I really?
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Of course you can. We all make mistakes.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27The only trouble is, my watermelons are not as big as Herbert's.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31They'll need extra watering to grow in time.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I can do that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Little and often?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Little and often, I promise.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And we'll help, won't we?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Nigel and his friends got to work,
0:08:54 > 0:09:00and soon Georgina's watermelons had grown big and juicy.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Thanks, everyone.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09It was time for Nigel and I to push the watermelons to Herbert's home.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Wow! Look at the watermelons! They're perfect.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Oh, thank you, Nigel.- You like them?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- I couldn't have done better myself. - Thanks, Herbert.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I did just as you said.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25A-hem!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29In the end. But these are from Georgina's garden.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33She gave them to me to ripen because...well, look.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35My watermelons!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38They're rock hard!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'm sorry, Herbert.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- Not bad. Not bad at all. - You're going to EAT them?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Eat them? Not in a million years. They'd break my teeth.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- No, I'm going to PLAY them.- Huh?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oh.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And a one, a two, a one, two, three, four.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10- Great sound.- And great watermelon. Another slice, anyone?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Don't mind if I do.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19And so we all celebrated ripening day with a grand watermelon concert.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22That was a great story, Nelson.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Look!
0:10:25 > 0:10:29The flowers I got you, Molly - they're alive!
0:10:29 > 0:10:30MOLLY CHUCKLES
0:10:30 > 0:10:35There you are. They just needed a bit of a drink.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Ahh.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40And you need a bit of sleep.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Good night, everyone.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48ALL: Sweet dreams, Lucy.
