HE WHISTLES

Evening.

Hi, I'm Andy. I run the prehistoric gallery here at the National Museum.

I am just off to meet my assistant, Jen.

We've got a mammoth job to finish before we go home.

Come on, I'll show you.

-Hi, Jen.

-Hi, Andy.

I am just getting this woolly mammoth's tusk into place.

I have rigged up a fully automated rope and pulley system,

controlled via my computer tablet.

Well done.

I thought it would be easier than carrying it ourselves.

I have got one in place already.

I am so glad, Jen, it could have taken me a long time

to put these tusks in.

You know, they weigh 80 kilos each. Almost as much as me.

Wow, That's really heavy.

I mean...the tusks, not you.

These tusks would have belonged to a fully grown, adult woolly mammoth.

Oh, have a look at this.

-Oh!

-If we count these rings we find out the age of the woolly mammoth.

-Just like a tree trunk.

-Exactly.

One, two...

34! I'm a fast counter.

34!

So the mammoth this tusk belonged to would have been 34 years old.

And then 30,000 years later it's here in our museum.

-Oh!

-Woah!

No!

It's broken! Mrs Pickles, she's going to be so upset.

Can we glue it back together?

We don't have a glue strong enough for that, Jen.

What are we going to do?

Well, we'd better think fast, Andy, we are running out of time.

CLOCK CHIMES

SQUAWKING

Time. That's it!

Jen, you stay here and try to sort this out,

I will be back soon with another tusk.

Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!

But, Andy, mammoths are extinct!

Waistcoat, hat, backpack, gizmo.

To the time of woolly mammoths.

Woah!

Oh! I made it!

I've traveled back 30,000 years to the time of the woolly mammoths.

Hang on, what's that?

DISTANT ROARS

Yes!

Woolly mammoths! It's a whole herd of them!

Look at the one of the front, he is missing a tusk.

It must have come off when he was fighting another woolly mammoth.

If I can find that tusk then maybe I can use it

to replace the one that I broke.

Excuse me, can I have a lift?

Now, this is what I call a lookout point!

I can see the whole world from up here.

Still can't see any tusks though.

FLIES BUZZ

Pfft! Shoo! Shoo!

I can see flies.

And lots of them. Get...! Shoo! Ah!

Ow! And biting insects.

Stop! Shoo! Oh, Honestly.

I don't know how the mammoths cope with them. Shoo!

MAMMOTH GROWLS

So that's how they cope with them.

They cover themselves in mud to keep away the flies. Genius.

Hey!

Well, I guess that was fun.

I've been walking for hours and still no sign of any...

Hang on. People!

Of course! 30,000 years ago, early humans lived on these plains.

I wonder if any of my ancestors lived here.

Oh! And look!

They're holding tusks. Right.

Excuse me. You haven't got any spare tusks at all, have you?

Woo-hoo!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

I guess not. Whoa!

THEY SHRIEK

DEER GROAN

Oh! She is not after me. She is after those deer. Ooft!

Oh! I still need to find a tusk.

THUNDER RUMBLES

Oh, sounds like it might rain.

Maybe I can take shelter in those huts over there.

Ah! Oh, it is very dark in here.

Set to torch mode.

Hang on a minute. Mammoth tusks! Huh?

According to my gizmo, early ice age hunters

used to build shelters out of tusks and animal skins.

All tied together with mammoth hair.

Yes!

But I can't take one of these back to the museum.

This is someone's home.

CRASHING What was that?

Thunder again?

MAMMOTHS ROAR

Whoa! What's going on?

Whoa!

Maybe it's an earthquake! What...?

ROARING AND CRASHING STOPS

Oh! Thank goodness that's... CREAKING

Whoa!

..over!

Oh! Oh, no.

Oooh! Urgh!

Great(!) I am stuck!

What am I going to do?

My backpack!

It's always full of useful things!

Maybe there's something in here that can help.

If I can get it off.

Right. What have we got in here?

A saucepan.

Hot water bottle.

What's this? A kazoo. How are these things going to help me?

Hang on. Maybe I can call for help!

I hope it works. All right.

KAZOO SQUEALS

Hmm?

Someone's coming!

Uh?

Oh! Thank you!

Erm, Thanks for that. Sorry about your hut.

HE MUMBLES

Oh! You want this?

Here you go.

KAZOO SQUEALS

HE MUMBLES EXCITEDLY

KAZOO SQUEALS

Very good! Excellent!

What? For me? Oh! Thank you!

KAZOO SQUEALS

Thanks again!

What a nice chap!

Kind of looked familiar too. Hmm.

But this is great!

It's going to fantastic in the museum!

I'll just grab my backpack.

CLOCK CHIMES

The clock! I've got to get back!

But I'm miles away!

Unless...

I've got an idea.

Woo-hoo! Whoa! Woo-hoo!

See you later, woolly mammoth!

Time to head back!

Mrs Pickles, quick!

-Good morning, Mrs Pickles.

-Good morning, Jen.

I'm just off to the prehistoric gallery.

Andy tells me he has two magnificent woolly mammoth tusks to show me.

Are you sure he said TWO woolly mammoth tusks, Mrs Pickles?

Oh, yes, quite sure.

-Well, you see, Mrs Pickles, there was an accident, and...

-Oh, Andy!

Those tusks look magnificent! Well done, you two.

They look even better than I remember.

Thanks, Mrs Pickles.

Just been cleaning them up.

You may want to clean yourself up a bit too, Andy.

I will. Shh!

See you next time.

One, two, three, four...
