0:00:09 > 0:00:12# No matter if you're young or old
0:00:12 > 0:00:16# With good friends you'll never be alone
0:00:16 > 0:00:20# Shining light on our joyful world
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# Ain't nothing going to beat that place
0:00:23 > 0:00:25# We call home
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# First days, new days
0:00:30 > 0:00:31# Are the very best days
0:00:31 > 0:00:33# New things to discover
0:00:33 > 0:00:35# New people to meet
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# Fun days always
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# Playing with your friend days
0:00:39 > 0:00:43# Life is for the living down at Apple Tree House. #
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- SAM:- Mali's back from his uncle's, right?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49HE YAWNS
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Are you sure it's today?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Yes. Yes.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Good, cos he's been away for ages.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58It's only been a couple of days.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06But you're sure it's today, right?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Yes, yes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Then, let's go.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I promised him I'd play football with him. Come on!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16OK, OK, OK, OK.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Come on, I need to know if he showed his uncle his spaceship toy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Hey, Mali.- Hey.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27How was your uncle?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- I guess it was all right. - Just all right?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Is everything OK, tiger?- Yes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35So are we still going to play football?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- I guess so.- Cool. I've practised my dribbling.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- KOBI: Is that OK?- Sure. I'll join you in a minute.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Come on.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46See you later, Zainab.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Hey, Mali, check this out.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So did you show your uncle the spaceship model?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- I don't think he liked it. - Why?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I showed him and told him all about space
0:02:05 > 0:02:09and I wanted to be an astronaut, but he laughed at me.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Rewind.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- He laughed at you?- Yes.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17And he said only Americans can be astronauts.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19That's not very nice.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21We know that's not true, don't we?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24As far as I am concerned, there's no reason
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- why you can't be anything you want to be, correct?- Correct.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's lots of competition
0:02:31 > 0:02:33for the chance to fly in a rocket,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35but you will never succeed if you don't try.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- And uncles don't always know best. - Well, I don't know much about space,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42not like Grandma Zainab. I do know
0:02:42 > 0:02:46that achieving your goals is often about asking the right questions.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Asking the right questions?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Yes, and talk to the right people. - Hmm.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Well, I'm sure when you grow up, you will be amazing,
0:02:55 > 0:03:00but maybe not too soon, because being a kid is still a lot of fun.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Yeah!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12That definitely was a lot of fun,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15but I think I need to sit down.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Don't worry, I have loads to do.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Oh. Anything I can help with?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Nah, it's OK.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25And once that's done, we might think about bed.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Ask the right questions...
0:03:32 > 0:03:34..and talk to the right people?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44AMERICAN ACCENT: Never forget, young man,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47you will never succeed if you don't try.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Time to think about bed.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Goodnight.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Sweet dreams, Mali.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Don't forget to wake me up in the morning.- Goodnight.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21I spy with my little eye, something beginning with...
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- P.- Pirates?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24You can't see pirates.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Parked cars?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27That's two words.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Oh, I give in.- No!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Look up there - plane.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Oh, of course. Can we head back yet?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I've got to get on with lunch.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42No, wait, just a bit longer.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43For how long?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Just a little more longer.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Right, I spy with Zainab's eye,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- something beginning with...- D!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Hey, I thought it was my turn.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Doreen.- Oh, hello, you three. - Hiya.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I don't think I have any post for you today.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Were you expecting something? - I'm not sure. Mali?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06No, I just wanted to give you this.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09"To the astronaut in space or the Moon..."
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- But where's the stamp?- Oh, no!
0:05:12 > 0:05:13It's OK. Oh, don't worry.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16It's lovely writing and good spelling,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20but I don't think we do deliveries to space yet.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22But I wish we did.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Imagine what it would be like, driving my little van
0:05:26 > 0:05:28all the way to the Moon,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- knocking on the astronaut's door to deliver parcels or fan mail.- Hello!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37That would be amazing.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39But why are you writing a letter to space?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Because Kobi said if you want to be an astronaut,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46you have to ask the right question, and ask the right people.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well, that's very good advice.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Did you try looking on the internet?
0:05:51 > 0:05:56We did. We checked out quite a few "how to be an astronaut" websites.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59But I think we want a bit more inspiration.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I could chat about the Postal Service all day, but I am
0:06:02 > 0:06:04definitely not the right person
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- to chat to about rockets and space. - That's OK.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10We should have a think about who we could send this letter to.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12That's a thought.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15There's someone I think might love to chat to you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Now, he's never been to space,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21but he knows lots about flying. Come with me. Come on.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Come on, Zab. Come on.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- MAN:- Hang on. I'm coming.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Everyone knows Alf lives here at No. 7,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32but did you know Alf also used to be a pilot?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- KIDS:- A pilot?- Mm-hm. - Someone who flies aeroplanes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Whoa. Really?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oh. Hello, there.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Hello. Just one letter today, Alf,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44and two young friends who might want to ask you about flying.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45- Really?- Mm-hm.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Do you think you could spare us a few minutes?- Yeah, sure.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Why don't you come in?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54So...how can I help?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I want to be an astronaut.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00But his uncle said that he can't go to space.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Then, Kobi told me I need to learn how to ask questions.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Do you want to tell us what you know about flying?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Well, a long, long time ago,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10when I was a little lad...
0:07:11 > 0:07:15..I told my uncle I wanted to fly like a bird,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18like one of the pigeons on the estate!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22But no-one where we grew up had ever even seen an aeroplane.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'd never even ridden in a motorcar.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Well, people didn't have their own cars back then.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30My uncle only had a rusty bicycle.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35So it wasn't really a surprise when he told me that I'd never fly.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39But you can never know what'll happen in the future.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Times change,
0:07:41 > 0:07:42people invent things,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and when I left school,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I joined the air force as an engineer.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Like Bella's dad,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50only, instead of cars,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I was looking after the engines on aeroplanes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56When I left the air force...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I was lucky enough to learn how to fly jet planes,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03flying passengers all around the world.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I tell you, even us pilots were amazed
0:08:07 > 0:08:10when astronauts flew rockets to the moon.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11It was incredible!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I mean, when we were growing up,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17who would have guessed people would fly to the moon and back?!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20And now everyone thinks we might even get to Mars!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Cool.- And that's a really long way away.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24LAUGHTER
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Do you still fly planes?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- No, not any more, I'm afraid.- Ohh...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31But when my flying days were over,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35I was so desperate to tell people about my experiences that...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- ..I was lucky enough to get a job at the museum.- Doing what?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Talking!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42About science.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I'll show you, if you like. - Yeah!- Yes!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'm retired, now, of course, but...
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I still love to go there once in a while.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55# No matter if you're young or old
0:08:56 > 0:08:59# And if you want to learn to fly
0:08:59 > 0:09:03# You've got to take a step if truth be told
0:09:03 > 0:09:06# You're never going to reach the sky...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09# Unless you try!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19# Don't be afraid to make mistakes
0:09:19 > 0:09:22# We only learn by reaching high
0:09:23 > 0:09:25# We all start out with lots to learn
0:09:25 > 0:09:28# But nothing's going to stop your dreams
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- # We can only try - Don't look down, look up!
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- # We can only try! - Don't look down, look up!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- # We can reach the sky! - First days, new days
0:09:39 > 0:09:41# Are the very best days
0:09:41 > 0:09:44# New things to discover New people to meet
0:09:44 > 0:09:46# Don't stress, breathe deep
0:09:46 > 0:09:48# Take it in your stride
0:09:48 > 0:09:51# Look before you take it It will be all right! #
0:09:53 > 0:09:55And we saw rockets, and planes,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and spaceships,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- and all sorts of machines.- Cool!
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Alf knows so much about all the amazing stuff.- I bet!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06You know, I've worked on this estate for years
0:10:06 > 0:10:10and it never surprises me there's still so much new stuff to learn!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Like... I never knew Alf used to fly!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'd like to be a pilot.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Great.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19But I wouldn't mind being a nurse first.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21A nurse? Like your mum?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Or maybe a post lady.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Like Doreen.- Anything else?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Maybe I could be a caretaker,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30looking after everyone, like you. Or...
0:10:32 > 0:10:35..Mali and I could run a cafe, like Flo and Frank.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Well, whatever you decide to do,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'm sure you'll be great!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42So long as I have lots of fun.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Ah-ah!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Well, talking about fun, are we ready?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yes, I think.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55"Wait for me, wait for me!"
0:10:55 > 0:10:57"OK, I'm coming."
0:10:57 > 0:10:59SPACEY BOUNCES
0:11:01 > 0:11:03AIRLOCK HISSES
0:11:03 > 0:11:05"Thank you." "You're welcome."
0:11:06 > 0:11:08And the finishing touch...!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Blast off!
0:11:11 > 0:11:12ZOOMING
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Glad to see you playing with that toy again.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- I thought you lost interest in it. - No way! It's the best ever,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20just like the spaceship I'll fly one day.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Just got to keep asking the right questions, right?- Yes!
0:11:24 > 0:11:25KNOCKING
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Mali? Are you ready?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28For what?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30We've got a brilliant new game.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Come on and see!
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Can I go?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Sure!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm coming!
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Now, close your eyes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41What's going on?
0:11:41 > 0:11:42KOBI CHUCKLES
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I hope it's space-tastic!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Commander Mali, are you ready to take us into space now?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Yes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Then open your eyes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56HE GASPS
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Kobi, this is amazing!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01The Apple Tree House space mission is ready to go
0:12:01 > 0:12:05where no Mali has ever been before!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07We have liftoff!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09ROCKETS BLASTING
0:12:09 > 0:12:12# Don't be afraid to make mistakes
0:12:12 > 0:12:16# We only learn by reaching high
0:12:16 > 0:12:19# We all start out with lots to learn
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# But nothing's going to stop your dreams
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- # We can reach the sky! - Don't look down, look up!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- # We can reach the sky! - Don't look down, look up!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31# We can reach the sky!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34# First days, new days Are the very best days
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# New things to discover New people to meet!
0:12:38 > 0:12:42# Don't stress, breathe deep Take it in your stride
0:12:42 > 0:12:45# Look before you take it, It will be all right! #
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Amazing!- Wow!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Well, we do what we can!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53That was so much fun!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Give us a high-five! - High-five!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Sam, thanks for making that space adventure. It was amazing!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Bet you didn't think the moon was so close to your home!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06THEY LAUGH
0:13:08 > 0:13:11How did you build such a brilliant spaceship?
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Well, as Dad said,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14you'll never succeed if you don't try.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17You're going to be a great astronaut one day.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah! - THEY LAUGH
0:13:20 > 0:13:22You're a good friend, Mali.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24And you're a great friend, Sam.
