The Lost Notes Clangers

CHEERFUL MUSIC

This is the Earth, our home.

A tiny wet planet lost and alone in the vast silence of space.

PEACEFUL MELODY PLAYS

Hold on. Listen.

Maybe it's not so silent.

Maybe we're not so alone.

Let's go closer and have a look.

Ah, yes.

Tiny Clanger is at the music trees.

She's made up another marvellous melody.

TINY WHISTLES

Yes, it's a melody that's good enough to share.

IRON CHICKEN CLUCKS

Oh, dear.

The Iron Chicken is in a bit of a flap.

IRON CHICKEN CLUCKS

She's sounding the alarm.

There's a big wind on its way.

MAJOR WHISTLES

It's too windy out here for a Clanger.

TINY WHISTLES

MAJOR WHISTLES

Major's right. Outside in this wind is no place for a young Clanger.

TINY WHISTLES

There. Safe and sound.

Here's Mother Clanger.

What's she doing out here?

Ah, yes. It is an excellent day for drying washing.

Well, that should do the trick.

The big wind has blown away as quickly as it arrived.

MAJOR WHISTLES

Mother Clanger's tablecloth is completely dry.

TINY WHISTLES MELODY

Ah, yes, Tiny wants to show Small

her marvellous melody at the music trees.

NO MELODY PLAYS

TINY WHISTLES

SMALL WHISTLES

TINY WHISTLES

Oh, dear.

The notes of Tiny's marvellous melody have blown away.

TINY WHISTLES

TINY WHISTLES

SMALL WHISTLES

Poor Tiny. She really wants to show Small her tune.

SMALL WHISTLES

Small is right.

You must never give up. Those notes are somewhere.

They've got to keep on looking.

SMALL WHISTLES

WHISTLING ECHOES

TINY WHISTLES

WHISTLING ECHOES

THEY LAUGH

TINY WHISTLES

Tiny is right.

It's a good echo and very funny,

but it's not her tune.

They search the planet -

outside...

and inside.

TINY WHISTLES

SOUP DRAGON RESPONDS

No, the Soup Dragon hasn't seen or heard Tiny's music notes either.

TINY WHISTLES

SMALL WHISTLES

That's it, Small.

The notes must be somewhere.

MOTHER WHISTLES MELODY

Oh, yes. That is definitely Tiny's tune.

TINY WHISTLES

MOTHER WHISTLES

Mother Clanger heard Tiny's marvellous melody come from the sky.

TINY AND SMALL WHISTLE

That is curious.

MOTHER WHISTLES

Now, that's a good idea.

Major Clanger's telescope is just the job

for searching the sky for music.

SMALL WHISTLES

TINY WHISTLES

Oh, how clever.

Tiny Clanger is looking for her music

and Small is listening for it

with his Clanger-y ears.

There's lots of things to see in space -

big things, small things,

and some things that are very odd indeed.

THEY WHISTLE

Well, all that looking and listening certainly paid off.

The notes must have blown away on the big wind.

Now all they have to do is to get the cloud down.

TINY WHISTLES MELODY

MELODY BEGINS

Oh, yes. The cloud can't resist a good singsong.

THEY WHISTLE

TINY WHISTLES

Look, the music tree is growing new notes.

TINY WHISTLES

Yes, I think the cloud would love to keep the notes.

MELODY BEGINS

All the Clangers agree that it really is a very marvellous melody.

The cloud is taking to the sky, up high,

playing Tiny Clanger's tune to the stars and the planets.

IRON CHICKEN CLUCKS MELODY

Well done, Tiny Clanger.

And let's not forget Small Clanger too.

They kept on looking and never gave up.
