0:00:40 > 0:00:43It's early in the morning.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46The whole of Big Barn Farm is sleeping.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48The sun's rising above the hills,

0:00:48 > 0:00:54so that can only mean one thing - it's time for Lester.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59LESTER CROWS

0:01:04 > 0:01:06# It's Lester! #

0:01:06 > 0:01:11And here comes the wake-up call from Lester the cockerel.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13GRUFFLY: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Come on, Lester. You can do better than that.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18It's time to get everyone up.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20GRUFFLY: Cock-a-doo...

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- It looks like Lester might have lost his voice.- Ugh!

0:01:29 > 0:01:31So who's going to wake the farm up?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37The farmer needs to get up so he can collect the Mrs Chickens' eggs.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42- He should've been here by now. - It's an outrage!

0:01:42 > 0:01:46And the sheep are waiting to be moved to the far field.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Mrs Snuffles and her piglets need feeding.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Where's our food? We're extremely hungry.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Madame needs the farmer to milk her.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Moo-la-la!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Hurry up. Hurry up!

0:02:05 > 0:02:08But one thing is quite clear after all this fuss...

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Is that the time?

0:02:11 > 0:02:15..nobody wants a morning like this when the farmer doesn't wake up.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22GRUFFLY: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25So Lester's sore throat had better get better soon.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29And luckily for Lester, Petal, Gobo, Dash and Digger

0:02:29 > 0:02:33have some ideas about how to cure a sore throat.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36We should get him to gargle like this...

0:02:36 > 0:02:38GARGLES

0:02:39 > 0:02:42LESTER GARGLES AND SPLUTTERS

0:02:42 > 0:02:44HE COUGHS

0:02:44 > 0:02:49I know what to do - you have to rub a dock leaf on his throat.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53That's for when you get stung by a nettle.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Nice try, Digger.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57When I'm not feeling very well,

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Mum wraps me up in blankets and tells me bedtime stories.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04And rubs you with a dock leaf?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06ALL: No!

0:03:06 > 0:03:09So they decide to try Petal's idea.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13And the beautiful princess and the handsome prince

0:03:13 > 0:03:16lived happily ever after.

0:03:18 > 0:03:24- Is your sore throat better now? - CROAKILY: No.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- ALL SIGH - Don't give up yet.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Dash has an idea to help Lester's sore throat.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33A lemon?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Dash is sure he's heard of this before.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40It's called a hop lemon treatment.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Hop over the lemon and that will make your sore throat better.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Hmm, are you sure about this, Dash?

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Mrs Chickens are wondering what on earth is going on.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Oh, no, no, no. Lester should be drinking hot lemon -

0:03:57 > 0:04:00not hopping over a lemon! Ha-ha.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Well, nothing else has worked, so Digger thinks

0:04:06 > 0:04:09he may as well give Lester's poorly throat a rub with a dock leaf.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- MUFFLED:- Try it, Lester.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- CROAKY:- No, no thanks.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- I can hardly hear Lester at all now. - Oh, dear.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23So that means no-one will hear his wake-up call tomorrow.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26LESTER CROAKS

0:04:26 > 0:04:29MUSIC CHIMES What's that noise?

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Perhaps it's the tractor.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35MUSIC CHIMES

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Is it the tractor?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44No, the tractor makes a chuggy noise.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47MUSIC CHIMES IN DISTANCE

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Maybe it's the postman beeping his horn.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52What do you think?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55No, it's not the postman's van.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Maybe it's Madam singing.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Oh, moo-la-la. I sound better zan zat. Have a listen.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06MADAM SINGS OPERATICALLY

0:05:06 > 0:05:13- Hmm, I'm not so sure, Madam. - MADAM SINGS HIGH NOTES

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- MUSIC CHIMES - Is it the van that sells cold sweets

0:05:16 > 0:05:18that children like?

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Yes, that's what's making the noise.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26I think it's called an I-Scream van.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Children always scream and shout when they see it.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33And it's the loud speaker on the top

0:05:33 > 0:05:36that's making the music sound really loud.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39If we had a loud speaker thingy like that,

0:05:39 > 0:05:43- we'd definitely make Lester sound louder.- That might work, Petal

0:05:43 > 0:05:47but you don't have any loud speakers, so...

0:05:47 > 0:05:50it's back to the drawing board.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Lester decides that he can't let the farm sleep in again.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08Someone will have to stand in for him and give the wake-up call.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10LESTER SPLUTTERS

0:06:10 > 0:06:13ALL: Me, me, me!

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I'll do it.- Listen to me! - Me, first.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Cock-a-doodle...ee-ore! Ee-ore!

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- No!- Check this out -

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Cock-a-doodle...me-e-e-e-e-eh!

0:06:27 > 0:06:29No!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Not bad, but listen to this -

0:06:32 > 0:06:35cock-a-doodle...honk! Honk!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37LESTER: No!

0:06:37 > 0:06:41I'm the best. Cock-a-doodle...a-woo!

0:06:41 > 0:06:45ALL: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:06:45 > 0:06:49What a noise. Poor old Lester can't stand it any more.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Quiet! LESTER COUGHS

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Well, that won't have made his sore throat better, will it?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59But Lester has an idea.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01A contest?

0:07:01 > 0:07:05That's right, Petal. A contest to find out who has the best

0:07:05 > 0:07:09early-morning wake-up call.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11# Big Barn Farm! #

0:07:11 > 0:07:13COUGHING

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Petal, Gobo, Dash and Digger should be rehearsing

0:07:17 > 0:07:22but unfortunately all their loud cock-a-doodle-doodling

0:07:22 > 0:07:24has left them with sore throats.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- HE CROAKS:- My throat's tired.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31- HE CROAKS:- Oh, so's mine!

0:07:31 > 0:07:34They'll need to rest their voices.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37They nearly sound as croaky as Lester.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39But Digger has a brilliant idea.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Which doesn't happen that often.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45HE PANTS

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Digger knows they may have sore throats,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55but they can use other things to make noises.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- BALL SQUEAKS - Hmm, what's that?

0:07:58 > 0:08:00HE PANTS

0:08:00 > 0:08:05Petal, Gobo and Dash think Digger's idea is a good one

0:08:05 > 0:08:09so now they all need to find something noisy for the contest.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Hmm. Mmm.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Hmm.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Hmm.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25CLANG!

0:08:25 > 0:08:30RADIO PLAYS Ah...!

0:08:30 > 0:08:33# They'll be friends forever Down on Big Barn Farm. #

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Who'll be chosen to give tomorrow morning's wake-up call?

0:08:37 > 0:08:42The contest is about to start and the audience is waiting.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- The judges are Madame...- Bonjour!

0:08:46 > 0:08:50- ..Mrs Snuffles...- Hello!

0:08:50 > 0:08:52..and, of course, Lester.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54- HE CROAKS:- Hurry up with it!

0:08:54 > 0:08:59So who's going to be first to perform in the contest?

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Here's Digger! - BALL SQUEAKS

0:09:02 > 0:09:05SQUEAK! SQUEAK!

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Oh, dear!

0:09:07 > 0:09:10What a racket!

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Painful to listen to.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Digger hasn't gone down too well with the audience.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19I wonder what the judges made of it.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Terrible! It sounds like the time Mac the horse accidentally trod

0:09:23 > 0:09:28- on a Mrs Chicken's foot. - It does as well!

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Do you remember that? I've still got the bruise!

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Oh, dear. Well, let's hope Dash can do a bit better.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39He's had a bit of help, fixing the bell to the wall,

0:09:39 > 0:09:43but he got very bad stage fright. He's very, very nervous.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Um, good morning.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Afternoon!- Afternoon!

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Oh, yes, well...

0:09:51 > 0:09:55And Dash is so nervous, he just pulls the bell too hard.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57CLANG! Oh, dear!

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Quack! Quack!

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Was that it?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Uh...thank you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Baa! Baa!

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Now it's Petal's turn.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12She's bound to be a hit with the audience.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17Ooh, this is the best one so far, I think.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO - Oh, now, that's quite nice!

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Catchy tune, too.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- She's so talented! - MUSIC SLOWS DOWN

0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Um...- That is good but let us 'ear some more.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33MUSIC STOPS Uh...

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Oh, dear. Poor Petal doesn't realise

0:10:35 > 0:10:38that the radio's batteries have run out.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43So there's only one more of the farmyard bunch to go

0:10:43 > 0:10:47and just look at that drum kit he's set up! Go, go, Gobo!

0:10:47 > 0:10:52TAP! TING! CLANG!

0:10:52 > 0:10:56But Gobo bashes his drum kit so hard that...

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Oops!- Oops!

0:10:59 > 0:11:03We want to be woken up, not frightened in our beds!

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Gobo's drum kit was maybe a bit TOO noisy!

0:11:07 > 0:11:11And, anyway, he can't use it again. He's completely demolished it!

0:11:11 > 0:11:16So who will give the cock-a-doodle-do tomorrow?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Digger and his squeaky toys?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Non!- Dash and his bell?

0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Useless!- Petal and her radio?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Baby!

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Without new batteries, that's a "no" as well.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- So it must be...- It's me!

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Non, non, non!- No, no, no!

0:11:36 > 0:11:39No...!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42The judges thank the four friends for trying their best

0:11:42 > 0:11:46but none of them sound quite as good as a proper cock-a-doodle-do.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Lester just needs to get a bit more oomph into his voice

0:11:50 > 0:11:54- and make it sound louder... - HE CROAKS:- Cock-a-doodle-do.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56..so the farmer will wake up in the morning.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00If only we had one of those loudspeaker thingies

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- like on the ice-cream van.- Hmm...

0:12:11 > 0:12:13The next day arrives and...

0:12:13 > 0:12:15COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Wow! It sounds like Lester's sore throat is better!

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Or has he got a little bit of help?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!

0:12:25 > 0:12:29Clever lot! The farmyard bunch have made Lester his own loudspeaker

0:12:29 > 0:12:33- so that everyone can hear him. - COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!

0:12:33 > 0:12:35He's very pleased with it.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40And, as a thank-you, Lester lets Petal, Gobo, Dash and Digger

0:12:40 > 0:12:45- join him for that morning's final... - ALL: COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!

0:12:45 > 0:12:50That's all for now. See you again soon, down on Big Barn Farm.
