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

0:00:43 > 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

0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Bedtime, Lucy!- OK, Mum.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Whee!

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Hi, everyone!

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Hello, Lucy. How are you?

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I'm fine. I've just been on an amazing school trip.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Cool! Where did you go?

0:01:47 > 0:01:53Um, I don't really know. The driver of the bus got lost.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Oh, no!

0:01:56 > 0:01:58But it was great fun.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59It was?

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Yes, we got stuck in a traffic jam,

0:02:02 > 0:02:06so we had a competition counting red cars and blue cars.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08I counted 64 red ones.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Well done.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14# 64, 64, 64 red ones! #

0:02:14 > 0:02:17LAUGHTER

0:02:17 > 0:02:19This reminds me of that time

0:02:19 > 0:02:23when Alfie and Charlie went canoeing down the river.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Oh, Boris, tell us the story!

0:02:26 > 0:02:31Well, it all started one morning in autumn when Alfie

0:02:31 > 0:02:35and Charlie were relaxing on their boulder overlooking the river.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Smashing day, Charlie.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Aye, Alfie, a great day to go exploring.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45See that river bend? I've never been round there before.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48No, me neither. So why don't we go there?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Aye!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Erm, but how?

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Ahem, ahem, ahem!

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Sorry, boys,

0:02:55 > 0:03:00but I couldn't help overhearing about your little problem.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04I could teach you to canoe. That's the best way to see the river.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06CHIPMUNKS: Whoa! Magic, man!

0:03:06 > 0:03:10But first we've got to get ourselves a canoe.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Luckily, Randolph knew just the person for the job.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Sure, I can cut down a tree for you, Randolph.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Now, which one would you like?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23This one?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Uh-uh.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- How about that one?- No, no, no, no.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32That's the one. Just perfect.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34But why so small?

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Erm, it ain't for me. It's for the chipmunks here.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45OK, then.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48SAWING

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Timber!

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Eeek!

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Those boys have got a lot to learn.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Stand back now, boys.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14In no time at all, the canoe was ready.

0:04:17 > 0:04:23I need to go and check on a few of my dams, but have a good trip!

0:04:23 > 0:04:25CHIPMUNKS: We will!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oooh! Aaah!

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Hey, man, this is a smashing little canoe.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Oh, aye, it's champion.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Keeping safe on the river is real important.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45Put these pine cone vests on in case you fall in the water.

0:04:45 > 0:04:50Hey, Randolph, will we be able to go all the way to the sea?

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Ha-ha-ha. I don't reckon so, boys.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Not unless you want to go over Big Drop Falls.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Oh, what's that?

0:04:59 > 0:05:03It's an enormous waterfall. We'll need to watch out for it.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04We?

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Oh, yeah. You boys are way too little

0:05:08 > 0:05:11to be out on that river alone. I'm coming with you.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Oh, that's great, Randolph, ta.

0:05:14 > 0:05:19We need some paddles first. You can't go canoeing without paddles.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Here you go, boys.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29No! Come back! Come back!

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Come back!

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Randolph?- Erm...erm...erm...

0:05:35 > 0:05:38- What happened? Where are the boys? - They're out there, Beverley.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43There was some kind of accident and they drifted away.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45We have to rescue them.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49They're way too little to be out on such a big river all alone.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51And with no paddle.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54I'm going to make us a rescue canoe.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57No time for that. This log will do.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Don't look so worried, Bev.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07What I don't know about rivers ain't worth knowing! Whoaaaa!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09You forgot your paddle!

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Oooh... Aaaah...

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Poor Randolph was now stuck on the river without a paddle.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Beverley knew she had to act quickly.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29My, this river is flowing pretty quick today.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34Those poor chipmunks must be scared out of their wits.

0:06:34 > 0:06:39Isn't this just champion? I love the scenery along here.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44- # Hippedy-hippedy-hippedy-hop! # - Look! It's Barbara.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48- BOTH: Hello, Barbara. - # Hippedy-hippedy-hippedy-hop. #

0:06:48 > 0:06:53- It's amazing how fast you can travel without paddles.- Aye.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56I wonder where that waterfall is Randolph was talking about.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00Oh, still miles away, I reckon.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01'Meanwhile...'

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Oooh! Aaah!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Whoa!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Steady there, Randolph.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Hold on tight, everybody.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Rescue on the way.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Hey, wouldn't it be fun to go over the edge of that waterfall.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Aye, but what if we get wet?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Oh, you're right.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Time to go back on dry land, Charlie. Ready?- Ready.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31CHIPMUNKS: Hah! SQUAWKING

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Hey, here comes Randolph.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39CHIPMUNKS: Hi-ho!

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oooh... Aagh.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Now boys, I ain't floating here. You have to help me.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49But Alfie and Charlie couldn't hear Randolph.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Ha, he must have fancied a swim.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Whoa!

0:08:00 > 0:08:05Boys, have you seen Randolph?

0:08:05 > 0:08:06- Aye!- He went that way!

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Do you think he's decided to visit the sea after all?

0:08:10 > 0:08:15Aye, he's managed to get past the big waterfall with no bother at all.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19But this isn't the big waterfall.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24This is Teeny-Weeny Falls.

0:08:24 > 0:08:30Big Drop Falls is round that bend in the river.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33We need to rescue Randolph quickly.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37But how will we catch up with him in time?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40TWEETING

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Then Alfie had an idea.

0:08:47 > 0:08:53SAWING

0:09:03 > 0:09:09Beverley and the chipmunks had built a hang-glider.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Oh!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Brrr!

0:09:19 > 0:09:25Randolph was getting closer and closer to Big Drop Falls.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29No... Oh, no...

0:09:29 > 0:09:31ALL: Randolph!

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Get ready to grab on!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Arghhh!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Hooray!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Thanks, guys. Hey, look.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57See all that silver sparkling in the distance?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59CHIPMUNKS: Aye!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02That's the sea!

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Wow!- Fantastic!

0:10:06 > 0:10:11- Hey, we have to do this again sometime!- Aye!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13RANDOLPH AND BEVERLEY: Oh!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Oh, thanks, Boris.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24That was a great story. And a great journey.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25You're welcome.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30There's a very short journey you need to make now, Lucy!

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Yawn! I think I know. Bed!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Goodnight, everyone.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43ALL: Goodnight, Lucy.
