0:00:02 > 0:00:06Hey, Animals At Work watchers! Welcome to another great episode!
0:00:06 > 0:00:10All over the planet, there are millions of animals that have jobs.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16This is the show that brings you the funniest, coolest and most bizarre
0:00:16 > 0:00:18animals at work!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Coming up...
0:00:20 > 0:00:25Sam the super dog has the incredible job of being Lauren's ears,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Henry the fire-safety goat faces his first night shift...
0:00:29 > 0:00:31HOWLING
0:00:31 > 0:00:35..and Tyrone is the world's only black macaque food critic.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39If he doesn't like it, we won't feed it to the rest of the zoo.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41But now it's...show time!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hey, everybody. Welcome to Animals At Work.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03This is my best friend, Jack, otherwise known as Captain Jack.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I got him from a rescue home about two years ago.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12He's been a faithful friend.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Just like our first story of this hearing dog, Sam.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21First, we're off to Nottinghamshire, in the UK.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Good boy, Sam!- Meet Sam and Lauren.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Together, they make up an incredible team.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Lauren, along with 35,000 other children in Britain, is deaf...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46..and Sam is her official hearing dog.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50He acts as Lauren's ears and keeps her safe from harm...
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- ALARM BEEPS - ..where there's cause for alarm.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Sam is a superhero. Unfortunately, he doesn't fly.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01He does something far more important.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10And it's a duty Sam's committed to 24 hours a day.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Things were tough for Lauren before Sam worked for her.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17She's proud to have him, because before she was nervous.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20She felt very isolated from the community.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23But that was before Super Sam came on the scene!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Good boy, Sam.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35In the six months he's been working for Lauren, things have changed.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Sam has stopped her from being as nervous as what she was.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43He's there at the side of her. It's given her a lot of confidence.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51# Oh, you're the best friend That I ever had... #
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yes, Sam and Lauren are quite the team,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and now Lauren wants to prove to everyone just how amazing Sam is.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04She's signed him up for a dog agility course.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09It's the perfect chance for Sam to show just how strong their bond is.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Sam's never let Lauren down, but the course is a notorious test
0:03:13 > 0:03:15of a dog's physical skills.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21It features tricky obstacles, including tunnels,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23jumps,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- the dreaded...- MAN BELLOWS: A-frame!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Believe me, it's no walk in the park.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33To succeed, Sam will have to listen carefully to Lauren's commands...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Over!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39..making it the ultimate test of their communication.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43When it comes to communication,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Sam and the other golden Labradors have a head start.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50They're known for their intelligence and great temperament,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54making it clear why they make such great assistance dogs.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's a job that comes naturally to Sam,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- especially the most important bit... - ALARM BEEPS
0:03:59 > 0:04:03..alerting Lauren when the fire alarm sounds.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Sam going down on all fours is his signal to Lauren
0:04:08 > 0:04:10that it's time to leave.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14And that's not the only way Sam's helping Lauren's family.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- He's got them to communicate better.- Prior to having Sam,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21we had to physically go up and get Lauren or shout very loudly.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- But not any more. - Good boy. Take it to Lauren.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Now Sam carries notes to Lauren from her mum and dad.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40To even get to that point, Sam has undergone 18 months of training.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Training has made him very special.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46He's only one of 12 hearing dogs paired with a child in the country,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and he's clearly done very well.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51They've got a wonderful bond.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55It's quite obvious when you see them together.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57# You've got a friend in me... #
0:04:57 > 0:05:01But that bond is about to be really tested amongst the obstacles.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Sam's determined not to let Lauren down, so the pressure's on.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Has he got what it takes?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Later, will Sam be able to show off his skills?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Good boy. - Or will he let Lauren down?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It's not just today that animals have had jobs.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25History reveals that in the past,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28they've had even more amazing jobs than today.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31And here are those History's Heroes!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Hello, and welcome to History's Heroes!
0:05:34 > 0:05:39I'm John Bumbleman... Thank you! ..world-famous historian, VIP
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- and superstar! - HE CHUCKLES
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- My eyes! Stop it! - CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
0:05:46 > 0:05:47As I was saying,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I'm quite the celebrity in the animal historian world.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52People have been gripped
0:05:52 > 0:05:56by my amazing stories of the fantastic and the famous,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58just like these creatures.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Our first famous working animal is Clara, an Indian rhinoceros,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05who found fame when she became one of the first living rhinos
0:06:05 > 0:06:07to be seen in Europe.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12She arrived in Rotterdam in 1741 and was an animal instant hit.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15People had never seen an animal like her.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19When word of her arrival spread, everyone wanted to see Clara.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So she set off on a tour of Europe...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24for the next 17 years.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Yes, 17 years!
0:06:28 > 0:06:33During her road trip, Clara visited Italy, Prague, Switzerland, Denmark,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Poland, Holland and the UK... - TRUMPET FANFARE
0:06:36 > 0:06:40..meeting royals galore and posing for artists.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44She was so famous, she even had navy ships named after her.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47That is one famous rhino!
0:06:47 > 0:06:53Our next famous hero worked way back in 1945 in Colorado, USA.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57At first, no-one had ever heard of a chicken called Mike,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01apart from Lloyd Olsen, the farmer who planned on eating him.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Lloyd chopped off Mike's head, but Mike's body had other ideas.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It simply got up and walked off!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Miraculously, his brainstem was left on his body,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15meaning Mike could walk around without a head.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18He survived like this for a record-breaking 18 months.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21As his fame grew, he even went on tour,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25earning up to 4,500 US dollars a month,
0:07:25 > 0:07:30making it a no-brainer for Mike to be awarded History's Hero!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It may have worked for Mike,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36but for any budding celebs out there, a word of advice...
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Try not to lose your head! Do you get it?!
0:07:41 > 0:07:46Now, on to our final tale of animal celebrity.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49In 1948, in the Hong Kong docks,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53a stray cat called Simon started work on a navy boat -
0:07:53 > 0:07:56HMS Amethyst - as the ship's cat.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59His job took him out to sea and into war.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04One day, the enemy blasted the ship, causing serious injury to Simon.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Simon was rushed to the medical bay
0:08:06 > 0:08:10where he was treated alongside the injured sailors.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Simon survived, winning the crew's respect, and showing such heroics
0:08:15 > 0:08:19that the captain wrote back to London to report the cat's bravery.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Word spread, and with the help of newspaper reports,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Simon's story was told across the country.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28He became one of the most famous faces of the day
0:08:28 > 0:08:32and had won his way into the hearts of the British public.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35People sent Simon letters and he received so much fan mail
0:08:35 > 0:08:40that the captain had to appoint a press officer to deal with the post.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- That is one famous cat! Meow! - CAT MEOWS
0:08:44 > 0:08:47So congratulations to Simon.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50You are top of the History's Heroes Pops.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I love a good awards ceremony - tears, laughter
0:08:53 > 0:08:57and lots of lots of photographers!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I'd just like to thank you all for watching this week's
0:09:00 > 0:09:02History's Heroes,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05in particular, you, the paparazzi.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Tricked you! Whoo-hoo! John Bumbleman!
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I did it!
0:09:14 > 0:09:18And now we're off to California, in the USA.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28This is fire-safety officer Henry.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31He's a one-year-old goat in a team who prevents fires
0:09:31 > 0:09:35by eating the vegetation, which can cause wildfires.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It's a job he's pretty good at.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42He has a fun job. All he does is eat.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47California is so hot that plants, or brush, frequently dry up
0:09:47 > 0:09:49making it easy for fires to start
0:09:49 > 0:09:52if lightening strikes or campfires get out of control.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So, who do you call to prevent those fires?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Henry!- That's right. You call Henry.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01This is Henry's family.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05They run a ranch for Henry and 350 of his fire-safety colleagues,
0:10:05 > 0:10:10who, today, have been called out for a very important job.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13George has been threatened by fires in the past
0:10:13 > 0:10:16and needs to make sure that his ranch is safe.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21It's another day in the office for Henry and the fire prevention team.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26But this job's different. This one comes with a big, new challenge.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31He's going to spend the night and stay on the site, clearing brush.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36This is Henry's first job spending the night away from home.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40That may be scary, but Henry's going to have to put any nerves aside,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42as this is a big job.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Eat this.- Fortunately, Henry is a true professional.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52He can consume the equivalent of one bag of shopping every day,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55and he's only going to get hungrier.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58When Henry grows up, he'll eat ten bags of groceries.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Although eating for a living may seem like a dream,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03it's not without its dangers.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And when I say dangers, I mean dangers.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Henry works under threat of attack from predators, including coyotes,
0:11:12 > 0:11:17- bobcats, and mountain lions. - PREDATORS ROAR
0:11:17 > 0:11:21But Henry's a smart goat. He always has protection when he's on the job.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Henry will be going to his job site with some bodyguards.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26A Great Pyrenees guards him.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30A Collie Wrangler makes sure Henry stays with the group.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33But will those guys be able to help Henry when it gets dark?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35We'll soon find out.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It's time to go to work.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Yummy, yummy, everyone's hungry, which is a good start.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50There's a lot of work to be done.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54As the rest of the team goes crazy, Henry takes a more refined approach.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57He prefers a meal with a view.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Ah, Henry, you old romantic, you! - ROMANTIC MUSIC
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's soon time for Constantine to go home
0:12:06 > 0:12:11and for Henry and the other goats to work without human supervision.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Good luck, Henry.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's not long after 3am. I've never been up this late before.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- There's been some scary noises. - BLEATING
0:12:25 > 0:12:27What's that? Whoo!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Phew! It's OK. It was just Henry eating.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Attaboy! My nerves can't take this. Let's hope Henry can hold up.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Finally, it's dawn.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43So, was Henry able to handle his first night away from home?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Yes, he was! There he is, looking as professional as ever.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The nightshift was no problem for this goat
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and the whole farm has been cleared!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Not one bit of unwanted vegetation in sight.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00The fire risk is gone. But what does the family think?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03How do you think Henry did?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Good!- You can say that again!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Well done, Henry. You're one brave fire-safety goat.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Go and get some breakfast. You must be staaaarving!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Hi. I'm just looking for that rapscallion
0:13:20 > 0:13:22who's been playing all those tricks on me.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27I know who he is and what he looks like, I've just got to find him.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30We know him as the Cheeky Monkey.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32HE GIGGLES
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I am sick of him playing pranks on me.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I know what he looks like, where to find him,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I just have to find him through this bush.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- I need something to help me do that. - # Hallelujah! #
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Brilliant!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Now I'll find him! Ha!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Come on, Cheeky Monkey, show yourself.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57No-one plays a prank on John Barrowman
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and gets away with it!
0:13:59 > 0:14:05Grr! No sign of him yet. I'd better get back to set.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09That's all for today. Thanks for watching Animals At Work.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Er, John, have you looked in the mirror recently?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Why? Give me a mirror now! - DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- HE GASPS - It's that cheeky monkey!
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Next, it's off to Devon, in England.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33# Brass monkey
0:14:33 > 0:14:35# That funky monkey
0:14:35 > 0:14:39# Brass monkey, junkie That funky monkey... #
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Tyrone is a crested black macaque with a difference.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46He's the resident food critic at his zoo.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Yep, you heard me right! Tyrone is a food critic.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56And it's a job he's perfect for, given his picky eating habits.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Tyrone can be very fussy with his food.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01If he's happy with it, everyone else will join in.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02When it comes to food,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06all the other animals in the zoo follow Tyrone's lead.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Everyone knows he has great taste.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11If he doesn't like something word travels fast,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14from the giraffes, to the owls,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16to the tigers, to the zebras.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19In fact, all over the zoo.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Tyrone's a natural food critic.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26His teeth and varied eating habits mean he'll try almost anything.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30But liking it is a different story.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Wild macaques live in the rainforests of Indonesia
0:15:33 > 0:15:37and eat all sorts of plants, fruit and insects.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41They even use their cheek pouches to save food until it's time to eat.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Today, Tyrone's sampling a potential new addition to the zoo's menu.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Pak choi is a delicious and nutritious Chinese cabbage
0:15:53 > 0:15:57that's high in fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Everyone at the zoo is especially proud of the pak choi.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05It's been grown using a vertical growing system.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09This system involves stacking plants on vertical platforms.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12It allows a huge number and variety of plants
0:16:12 > 0:16:14to be grown in a very small space.
0:16:14 > 0:16:20Which means lots and lots of yummy food for all the different animals.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22But like anything grown at the zoo,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25before the pak choi makes it anywhere near the menu,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27it needs Tyrone's seal of approval.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30If Tyrone likes it, it gets his go-ahead
0:16:30 > 0:16:33and can be rolled out to all the other animals.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36If not, it's "Bye-bye, pak choi,"
0:16:36 > 0:16:38which would be bad news for the keepers
0:16:38 > 0:16:41who spent all that time growing it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Andrew's feeling the pressure. It's his job to feed the macaques.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48We are worried about giving Tyrone the pak choi.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52If he doesn't like it, we won't be feeding it to the rest of the zoo.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So it's clearly a big day for the zoo.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00All right, Tyrone, get ready for your first taste of pak choi.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Andrew throws the pak choi into the monkey enclosure.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Mmm. Tyrone samples a leaf. - DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:17:10 > 0:17:13What's this?
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Oh, he's tossed it aside and stormed indoors without properly trying it!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20No word either way from Tyrone.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24This is a disastrous blow to the pak choi project.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27The rain's not improving the odds of success.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I don't think he's going for the pak choi because of the weather.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Andrew has one last chance to get Tyrone to OK the pak choi.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40He puts some of the greens inside Tyrone's enclosure.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44This isn't how he normally feeds him but the weather leaves no choice.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Tyrone comes over. He has a good look around.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I can't look! Neither can this guy!
0:17:52 > 0:17:57I'm going to be a monkey's uncle. Tyrone is eating the pak choi!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Amazing scenes! Yummy, yummy, crunch, crunch!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Immediately, Tyrone's influence is on display.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Seeing that he's approved it, the other monkeys tuck in...
0:18:06 > 0:18:08# Eat it, eat it... #
0:18:08 > 0:18:10..even the little baby fella.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17Tyrone's endorsement means the other animals get to give it a go.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19The giraffes gobble it,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21the baboons love it,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25and the elephant, she can't get enough of it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Great work, Tyrone.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30So the animals have another tasty addition to their menu
0:18:30 > 0:18:36all thanks to Tyrone, the food critic who does not monkey around.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Now, those kids who love animals, it's the...- Fanimals, yes!
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Let's meet the Fanimals, our animal detectives...
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Say hello to the birds with the most eggs-cellent job on the farm,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59it's the chickens.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02# Chicken train, running all day... #
0:19:02 > 0:19:06A chicken's job is to lay eggs. And they're pretty good at it.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09The farmer suspects they could be better,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11so he's drafted in the Fanimals
0:19:11 > 0:19:14to try and help them with their egg laying.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Each Fanimal will team up with a hen.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Teams will try different techniques to encourage speedy egg-laying.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24The team who lay an egg the quickest wins.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- The contenders are... - BELL DINGS
0:19:31 > 0:19:35They're all female chickens, also known as hens.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38The average hen lays 259 eggs a year.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44But these girls are exceptionally good at their job
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and often lay an egg a day.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Judging the teams will be our expert, Farmer Ed.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53# We are the eggmen... #
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Down to business. The Fanimals need to select their chicken.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Take your time. Your decision is crucial.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04The key to winning this challenge might be picking the right hen.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Which chicken plucks your fancy?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Which one do you want?- Ruth. - I've decided to go with Rachel.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I chose Rock.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Finally, a decision. The line-up is...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Team 1 - Brianna and Rachel,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Team 2 - Lukas and Rock,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26and Team 3 - Sarah and Ruth.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Next, the teams pick the strategies they'll use to help their chicken.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32ALL: Buh-kaw!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35So, Fanimals, what have you got?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- I'm going to love my chicken. - Ahh, the romantic.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- I'm going to help mine with science. - That would be the scientist.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I'm just natural!
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And the good old-fashioned natural method.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Each team has 30 minutes to try their technique.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Whichever team lays an egg first wins.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58First up, Brianna and Rachel with the romantic approach.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02# Hello, Rachel... #
0:21:02 > 0:21:07I love you. I can't wait to meet your egg.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'll always be here if you need to talk to me.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Next it's Team 2, Lukas and Rock, and the scientific approach.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Feel the light.- Lukas is testing out a scientific fact
0:21:24 > 0:21:28that the more light hens receive, the more eggs they lay.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30But will this bright idea work?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Last it's Team 3, Sarah and Ruth, and their natural approach.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- I support you in your natural space. - # You make me feel... #
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- I believe in you. - # Mighty real... #
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Ruth, do what you want to. You can lay an egg or not,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49it's up to you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52# ..Mighty real... #
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Our animal detectives have conducted their experiments and time is up.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's the moment of reckoning.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Have any of the teams produced an egg?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08First, Brianna and Rachel. Could they romance an egg?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11DRUM ROLL
0:22:11 > 0:22:13No.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Unlucky, Team 1.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Next, Lukas and Rock. Will their scientific eggs-periment work?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23DRUM ROLL
0:22:24 > 0:22:27No. Maybe next time, Team 2.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32It's all on Sarah and Ruth and the natural approach. Fingers crossed!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34DRUM ROLL
0:22:36 > 0:22:40And would you believe it? Nothing there either!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Sorry, guys. No eggs.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Bad luck, Fanimals. None of your techniques worked.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49However, Lukas was on the right track.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Scientific experiments in the past have proven the more light there is
0:22:52 > 0:22:55the more eggs chickens lay!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57He didn't pull it off today.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01The Fanimals proved one thing. You can't rush an egg-laying hen!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Buh-kaw!
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Finally, it's back to Nottinghamshire, in the UK.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Sam is a hearing dog for ten-year-old Lauren,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17who, along with 35,000 other kids in the UK, is deaf.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Sam's job is even more special
0:23:19 > 0:23:23as he's one of only a handful of hearing dogs working with children.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25And he's a real star.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- He helps keep Lauren safe... - ALARM BEEPS
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- ..helps her and her family communicate...- Take it to Lauren.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35..and as a bonus, he's also become her best mate.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43But that's not enough. They want to go one step better.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Lauren's desperate to show everyone how strong their bond is
0:23:46 > 0:23:49and test their communication skills to the limit...
0:23:51 > 0:23:55..by putting Sam through his paces on a dog agility course.
0:23:55 > 0:24:01Sam's never let Lauren down before, so his pride's really on the line.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02To complete the course,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05he'll have to successfully respond to all Lauren's commands
0:24:05 > 0:24:08and avoid making any mistakes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11There's no two ways about it, this is going to be tough.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- COCKEREL CROWS - It's the morning of the big day.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Sam's eager to go. - ALARM BEEPS
0:24:21 > 0:24:25The whole family's come to the course to cheer on Lauren and Sam,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29and are joined by Jan and Jenny, who are responsible for Sam's training.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34If the pressure wasn't on before, it really is now.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Chris, the trainer, will put Sam through his paces.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And when I say paces, I mean paces!
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It features tricky obstacles, including tunnels,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45jumps,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- and the dreaded... - MAN BELLOWS: A-frame!
0:24:49 > 0:24:53First things first, that tunnel, which is trickier than it looks.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56For some dogs, it can be quite dark, smelly.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00This is Sam's chance to prove he can quickly respond to Lauren's call.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Good luck, Sam!
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- That's it.- Sam! Under!
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- He's in the tunnel. Can he make it through?- Good boy!
0:25:11 > 0:25:15He's done it! Great skill, Sam!
0:25:15 > 0:25:19No time for celebration. It's straight on to the second challenge,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21the jumps.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Sam's got to negotiate his way over a series of hurdles.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27It should be simple enough. Here we go.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Sam, over!
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Oh, no, Sam! What are you doing?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34You're meant to go over them, not around them.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37And knocking them over certainly isn't part of the plan.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Do you want to do it again? - Yes, let's try again. Here we go.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45That's better! One, two...
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- And three! Whoo, that's it! - Well done. Well done. Good.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55As if everyone's nerves weren't in shreds, it's the last test,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58the toughest of the toughest, the dreaded...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00MAN BELLOWS: A-frame!
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Sam will need all his concentration to deal with this bad boy.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08But no-one saw this coming.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Sam's being distracted by a cheeky little minx called Layla.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16There's no time for romance, Sam. Let's focus, OK?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Here we go.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Lauren, do you want to bring Sam over here?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22You can do this.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Pass me the lead. You've got treats in your hand.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- OK, let's go.- Yes, yes, yes!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- That's it!- Yes! No!
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Disaster struck! Sam slipped off the frame.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41How embarrassing, especially in front of his fans
0:26:41 > 0:26:44and, even worse, Layla! This won't do.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48To make amends, Sam and Lauren hatch a plan.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Come on!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55They're going to attempt the course in the shape of their own sequence.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Here goes.- Over! - It's a jump. Then the A-frame.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04He's made it! It's another jump. And another jump!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07And one final jump! That's it, he's done!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10He's completed the agility course with flying colours!
0:27:13 > 0:27:16A kiss for Sam and some well-deserved praise.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Oh, it's been absolutely wonderful to watch Sam and Lauren today.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- They look very happy.- Good boy.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Good on you, Sam. You deserve it. - # Friends forever, we'll be... #
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Wow, Sam really is a special dog. That's it for now.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33It's goodbye from me and it's goodbye from him.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36See you next time on Animals At Work.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Did you like that? Oh, I'm sorry to bore you!
