0:01:06 > 0:01:08HE WHISTLES
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Hi, I'm Andy. I work here, at the National Museum.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I'm just taking an extra special artefact to the prehistoric gallery.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36I've got it safe and sound in here. Come on.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- Hi, Jen!- Oh, hi, Andy.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I was just trimming back these leaves, so everything looks perfect.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Well done. It looks great.- Thanks.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I've got the final part to the display in this box.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's an incredibly rare and incredibly precious object.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Oh, sounds exciting. Can I see, please?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Of course. You need to be really careful, though.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Are you ready?- Mm-hm.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Ta-da!- Um, Andy, it's a stick.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I know. It's astonishing, isn't it?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Um, not really. I've got lots right here, on the floor.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Not like this one. This is three million years old.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Mrs Pickles found it on an archaeological dig in Africa
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and she thinks that it belonged to this guy.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- The Australopithecus? - One of our ancient ancestors.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30We think that they were among the first apes to ever use
0:02:30 > 0:02:31objects like this as a tool.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Tool? You mean like my clippers? - Precisely.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Mrs Pickles doesn't know exactly what they used it for,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41but she thinks, because of these marks and scratches,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44that an Australopithecus used it as a tool.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Oh, wow. That's amazing.- I know.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I'll just put it in place.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52There we go. Perfect.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Oh, Andy, I'd love to know what the Australopithecus used it for.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Oh, me too.- Evening, you two. - BOTH:- Hello, Mrs Pickles.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I was just on my way home and I thought I'd pop in to see how
0:03:03 > 0:03:06you're getting on with the new display.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- It's almost finished.- Fantastic.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11You will be careful with that Australopithecus tool.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16I don't want to have to go all the way to Africa to find another one.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's in safe hands. We'll take good care of it.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22I knew I could count on you. See you in the morning.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23- BOTH:- Goodnight.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Uh, Andy, does that stick look different to you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35What? This isn't the same stick that Mrs Pickles brought back.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Where's the other one?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We said to Mrs Pickles we'd take good care of it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Could we replace it with one of the sticks from the floor?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47No, the other one had the original marks and scratches on it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Oh, um, well, we can't go all the way to Africa to get a new one.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- There isn't enough time. - CLOCK CHIMES
0:03:58 > 0:04:01PTERODACTYL SCREECHES
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Time.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06That's it!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Jen, you stay here. I'll go and get another Australopithecus tool.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Um...but, Andy...
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Africa's thousands of miles away.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Huh.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Waistcoat, hat, backpack, gizmo.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45To the time of Australopithecus!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47CLOCK WINDS
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Hoo! Ohhhhhh!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I've made it!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I've travelled back just over three million years...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26to the time of Australopithecus.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33And I'm in Africa, on the Great Rift Valley.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Hang on, though. I think I'm stuck on this rock.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What am I going to do?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43The clock! I've got a good idea.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Here goes.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Ooo-uhh!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Yes! That's it.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Whoa-oh!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07SPLASH
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Oh, no!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12If I lose the clock, I can't get home!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Um...I'm going to have to look for it later.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Right now, I need to find an Australopithecus.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33This is probably a good place to look.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Australopithecus love the protection of the forest.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44GRUNTING
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Look, Australopithecus! We've found them.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Well, there might be three million years between us
0:06:51 > 0:06:53but we're still distantly related.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Maybe I'll go down there and say hello.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Hello, little fella. What you doing there on your own?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04SHE SCREECHES
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Ooh, is that your mum?
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Oh, no! She's not calling to us, she's shouting at them.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19They must like the look of this river
0:07:19 > 0:07:21and they're trying to push us out.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23You big bullies!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Come on, everyone, run!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28THEY SCREECH ANGRILY
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Oh. Now that we've been chased out of the forest,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48the tribe are looking for a new place to live,
0:07:48 > 0:07:53but it's a lot more dangerous when they're out here on the plains,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56especially with a Deinotherium around!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58An ancient relative to the elephant
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and they can be very aggressive, too.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I need to warn the gang.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05You lot, look out!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Ooh, watch out, little one!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Oh, they should be safe now. That was close.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19The Deinotherium can't get to them in that tree.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Hang on a minute.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Oh, no!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29My little friend, he's calling for help. He went the wrong way.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32The Deinotherium can hear him.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I need to do something quick!
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Hey, over here! Deinotherium, this way. Woo-hoo!
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Oh, it's working.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46ANDY SCREAMS
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Phew.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03He's gone. Ho-ho! That was lucky.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Are you OK, little guy?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Oh.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10THEY CALL EXCITEDLY
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Well, it sounds like your pals are pleased to see you.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Oh! Ha-ha.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Oh. What are the others up to now?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh, they're digging for food.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Australopithecus, they used to eat all sorts of things -
0:09:30 > 0:09:34fruit, berries, meat, even grubs and roots.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39The older ones used to teach the younger ones how to dig them up.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Aw. My little friend is on his own again.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45He doesn't seem to know what to do.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Maybe I'll give him a hand.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Don't worry, I'll help you out.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Now, first of all, you need to find a stick.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58There we go, this should do it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It looks like this one's already been used.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Then you need to take the sharp end of the stick
0:10:04 > 0:10:09and rake it into the dirt, like this.
0:10:09 > 0:10:17Really dig until you find, there we go, a nice, tasty root.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22There we go. Munch on that.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29It's amazing what you can do with...with a stick!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Well, this is what I've been looking for!
0:10:32 > 0:10:36And look, it's got the same markings on it as the one that
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Mrs Pickles found.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Great. I'll put it in my backpack.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44CLOCK CHIMES
0:10:45 > 0:10:49The clock. I need to get back.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I need to find the clock first.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Oh... Right, see you later, everyone.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Oh, the clock must have floated downstream.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I need to follow it somehow.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Um... Ooh! My backpack, it's always full of useful things.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Self-inflating dinghy. Now why would I need that?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25BOING
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Actually, this is exactly what I need.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45This is great!
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I'm floating downriver in Africa,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50heading towards the Great Rift Valley.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Hang on a minute, the Great Rift Valley?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57When the river gets there...
0:11:57 > 0:12:04it'll be a really big waterfall!
0:12:04 > 0:12:05SPLASH
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Well, it's not how I thought it would happen, but I found the clock.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Time to head back!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30CLOCK CHIMES
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Mrs Pickles - quick!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Jen!- Andy, you're back!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Did you get the stick? You're soaking.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Hang on.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Got it.- Where did you find it? - No time to explain.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Come on, we're running out of time.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Good morning.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I've come to see the new display.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Oh, yes, that's excellent.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18And I see you've got my Australopithecus tool
0:13:18 > 0:13:20in prime position. Fabulous.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Oh, I do wish I knew what they used it for.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Um, maybe they used it for digging up roots and grubs, Mrs Pickles.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- That's a very good suggestion, Andy. - Oh, thank you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Is it raining outside?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Uh, yes, it is, Mrs Pickles.- Oh.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42See you next time.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57# One, two, three, four
0:13:57 > 0:14:00# Andy's Prehistoric Adventures
0:14:00 > 0:14:03# Andy's Prehistoric Adventures! #
