0:01:10 > 0:01:13ANDY WHISTLES

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hi, I'm Andy. I'm in charge of the prehistoric gallery

0:01:25 > 0:01:27here at the National Museum.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31My assistant, Jen, and I are working on a brand-new display

0:01:31 > 0:01:34showing one of our distant relatives. Come and have a look.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Hi, Jen. How're you getting on? - Hi, Andy. Really good.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46I'm just about to program the background. What would you like?

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Oh, well, this is Australopithecus,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51one of the first apes to ever walk upright.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54They lived in Africa about three million years ago.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Ah, OK.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Africa.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Three million years ago.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01How's that?

0:02:01 > 0:02:03That's fantastic.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05It's amazing what you can do with that.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09I did notice there's a bit of hair missing on the side.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12I found it in the store room. It must have fallen off.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'll just glue it back on.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Right.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22There.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24I'll just tidy him up a bit.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29And...there.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Now, it's complete. That looks great.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Hello, you two.- Oh.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- BOTH:- Evening, Mrs Pickles.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39I was wondering how you're getting on

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- with the new Australopithecus display.- Great. We're almost done.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Excellent. This is a very important display.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Australopithecus is a missing link

0:02:49 > 0:02:52in the evolution of our very own species.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56M-hm. Do you know, Jen, if you were to go back three million years

0:02:56 > 0:02:59to see your ancestors, they'd probably look like that?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Well, I'll let you get on.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05See you in the morning for the grand opening.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- BOTH:- Goodnight, Mrs Pickles. - See you in the morning.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Right, Jen. We've got a few things to do

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- and then we can go home.- Great.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Huh?- His hair's gone missing again.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I only stuck it on a moment ago. Where's it gone?- Erm...

0:03:20 > 0:03:24We can't open the display like this. What would Mrs Pickles say?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I don't suppose they used to wear hats, did they?

0:03:27 > 0:03:28No, I'm afraid not.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Maybe we could replace it with some other hair.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36No, it's too late at this hour. There's just not enough time.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38CLOCK CHIMES

0:03:40 > 0:03:42PTERANODON SQUAWKS

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Time.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47That's it.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Jen, you stay here, I'll go get some more Australopithecus hair.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Time to go on a prehistoric adventure.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Erm... But, Andy, where are you going to find...

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Australopithecus...hair?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Waistcoat, hat,

0:04:13 > 0:04:14backpack, gizmo.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27To the time of Australopithecus.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01I've made it.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I've travelled back in time three million years

0:05:04 > 0:05:06to the time of Australopithecus.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09ROARING What was that?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Deinotherium.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16The prehistoric relative to the elephant.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18I better keep an eye on it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19They can get pretty...

0:05:20 > 0:05:23DEINOTHERIUM TRUMPETS

0:05:23 > 0:05:25..bad-tempered.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Whoa!

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Oh! Oh!

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Phew!

0:05:45 > 0:05:47I should be safe in these trees.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51This is also the perfect place to spot...

0:05:53 > 0:05:54..Australopithecus.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Yes!

0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's a small group of Australopithecus.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17They're just relaxing in the forest.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Oh, they're grooming each other,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22checking for bugs and nits.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25That one looks like the leader.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30I'll just go and ask him if they've got any hair for my display.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Ahem. Hello.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38I'm Andy. I was wondering if you... AUSTRALOPITHECUS SCREAMS

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Whoa. Sorry.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45I'm sorry to bother you, I'm going now.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51There's got to be another way I can get that hair.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07I'm trying to keep my distance, so I don't scare them again.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11I think they might be searching for food.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19Although they better be careful that they're not somebody else's dinner.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Look! It's a Dinofelis.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Oh, a very dangerous predator.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27AUSTRALOPITHECUS SCREAMS

0:07:27 > 0:07:30I think they've spotted her. Ah, good.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Phew! I think she's gone.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Right. I'm going to try and catch up,

0:07:39 > 0:07:42see if I can make friends with them. Come on.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05They're grooming each other again. This is one of the things they do

0:08:05 > 0:08:07to make friends and stay together as a group.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09CRUNCHING

0:08:09 > 0:08:11What was that?

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Oh, no. It's the Dinofelis. And they haven't seen her!

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Quick!

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Look out!

0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's the Dinofelis. Run!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29AUSTRALOPITHECUS SCREAMS

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Shoo, Dinofelis. Shoo!

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Shoo!

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Oh, look.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54They're working as a team to scare the Dinofelis off.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57THE AUSTRALOPITHECUS SCREAM

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Good teamwork, Australopithecus.

0:09:13 > 0:09:18Oh, and now that I've helped them scare the Dinofelis away,

0:09:18 > 0:09:22it looks like the leader has accepted me into their group.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29I think they want me to join in with what they're doing.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Erm... I've never really done this before.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40Ah. Erm.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Huh. Huh-huh.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Erm... Maybe I'll use my comb.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51There we go.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57Ah, It's a real honour being accepted into the group like this.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Andy-lopithecus!

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Look!

0:10:07 > 0:10:12I've finally got the hair that I need to finish my display.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18CLOCK CHIMES The clock!

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Mrs Pickles is going to arrive at the museum any moment now.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Ah! How am I going to get back to the clock in time? It's miles away.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Erm... My backpack.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's always full of useful things.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Huh? Where did I put it?

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Oh, yes.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35I left it over...

0:10:35 > 0:10:36there.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39Oh, no!

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Vultures.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Oh, no! My backpack!

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Oh!

0:10:53 > 0:10:55AUSTRALOPITHECUS SCREAMS

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Look! The leader's running in to scare them off.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Yes!

0:11:04 > 0:11:08Brilliant! Thanks, Australopithecus.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Right, I need to find something that's going to get me

0:11:12 > 0:11:14back to the clock quicker. Erm...

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Flare?

0:11:17 > 0:11:18No.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21Rope.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Dog biscuits?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Oh! So, that's what the vultures were after.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33It's not going to help me now though, is it?

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Unless...

0:11:38 > 0:11:40METAL CLINKS

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Huh!

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Huh! Ha-ha!

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Here we go.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59VULTURE CRUNCHES BISCUIT Yes!

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Whoa!

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Mrs Pickles! Quick!

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Good morning, Mrs Pickles. - Good morning, Jen.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47I've just got time to visit the new Australopithecus display

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- before the museum opens.- Ah!

0:12:55 > 0:12:56Oh!

0:12:58 > 0:13:00I was just wondering, Mrs Pickles,

0:13:00 > 0:13:04have you ever heard of a bald Australopithecus?

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Bald?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, I don't think so, Jen.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Why do you ask?

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Oh, no reason, Mrs Pickles.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20Oh, marvellous.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Australopithecus.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Our ancient ancestor.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27What a fantastic display.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31And you've got his hair just right, very neat and tidy.

0:13:32 > 0:13:37You may want to get a shave before the museum opens though, Andy.
