0:00:42 > 0:00:44There we are.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47The planet Earth, our home.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49A place where everyday is a birthday.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52A day when someone is actually born

0:00:52 > 0:00:54and gets the gift of life.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57And if we were to travel off into the darkness of space

0:00:57 > 0:01:00perhaps we would find other places

0:01:00 > 0:01:03where other creatures are born.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Ah, look, there's Small Clanger,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08out fishing in the music boat.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12And he's caught something.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Woo-woo-woo.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17It looks like a metal ball.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Something to show the others I think.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Wee-eee wee-do-do-do.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Awoo-do.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Wa-do-do?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Whoo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Doo-do-doo.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41No, no-one knows what it is.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42It's a mystery.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Doo-doo-doo-woo-doo-doo.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48And it can go with all the other mysterious things

0:01:48 > 0:01:50the Clangers have found...

0:01:51 > 0:01:55..on a special shelf in Major's workshop.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Mmm, what a lot of curious things he's got.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Oo-doo-do-do-do.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Woo-woo!

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Blue-string pudding for dinner, Major's favourite.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Hold on, the ball's moving.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Hello, what's this?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30It looks like...

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Like a caterpillar, except it's a

0:02:32 > 0:02:34caterpillar made of metal.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's eating the Clanger's copper leaves.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, of course.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54What else would a metal caterpillar eat?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Now it's eating the leaves by the soup wells.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Abwa-wi-wi-wi-wi

0:03:33 > 0:03:35abwi-wa-wa-wa.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Abla-bli-bli-bli-bloo-bloo!

0:03:39 > 0:03:43The Soup Dragon has seen the nibbled-copper trees.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Abbla-bla-bla-bloo-oo.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47She must tell the Clangers.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Bla-la-la-ga-gra-oo.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52A-bla-gra-bla-la-gra.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53A-bla-bli-bla-gri-gra.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55ALL: Awooo-oo?!

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Woo-woo.- Oh, the leaves are completely nibbled.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Woo-too-too.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Wo-too-doo-too-do-doo.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Woo-doo-doo-too-doo-doo.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Major is worried that the metal things in his workshop

0:04:15 > 0:04:16might be nibbled too.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Blo-bli-bli-blo-gra.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Bla-laa-laa-gra-ra.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26All Major's things are OK.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29But Major has the ball that Small found.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Look, it's broken and empty.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- It must be an egg of some sort. - Woo-ooo-ooo.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Doo-doo-doo.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Yes, something has hatched from the egg

0:04:40 > 0:04:43and the Clangers have a visitor

0:04:43 > 0:04:45and a very hungry visitor at that.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Dee-doo-doo.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Dee-do-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Good idea, Small.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53If they all split up they might find

0:04:53 > 0:04:56this visitor of theirs more quickly.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Where's Granny going?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Ah! Oh, she's gone for her after-dinner nap.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Woo-ooo!

0:05:20 > 0:05:22There it is.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Ooo-woo.- Mother has seen the thing that's been eating everything.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30She's going to try and catch it.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Woo-ooo! Woo-doo-doo-doo.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Doo-doo-doo whoo-doo-doo.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Whoo-doo-doo. Whoo-doo-doo.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Small thinks that it's not very nice to trap a living thing.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52But, oh!

0:05:52 > 0:05:56It's eaten its way through the bucket.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Whoo-doo-doo!

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Oh, it's getting away.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Doo-do-do

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Doo-doo doo-do?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06What's Small doing?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Doo-do-do doo-do-doo.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Ah, he's trying to get it to come to him.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Dee-do-doo-doo-dee-oop?

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Small wants to know if they can put some leaves in the bucket

0:06:23 > 0:06:25for the caterpillar to eat.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Whoo-doo-doo-doo.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35That's one very happy caterpillar.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Doo-do-doo-dee-doo.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39And now Small wants to show

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Granny their visitor.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Do-do-doo!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Granny's not ready for visitors.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55She's still having her after-dinner nap.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Woo-oo.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Do-doo-doo. Woo-whoo!

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Where did it go?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Do-do-dee-doo-doo.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Where's it off to now?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16ALL: Woo-wooo!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20ALL: Ooo-ooo-ooo!

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Boing-boing!

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Look at that! What's it doing?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29It's making a thread and spinning

0:07:29 > 0:07:32a coat for itself, a cocoon.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Wee-doo-woo-ooo.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Doo-dood-do-do-doo.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Small doesn't want Granny to miss this.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Woo-ooo-ooo!

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Do-doop-doo-dee-do-doo.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Yes, Granny! It's a first-class knitter.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Wee-doo-doo-dee-dee.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Perhaps it is sleeping.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01I expect it's tired after all

0:08:01 > 0:08:03that eating and knitting.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Wee-eep-dee-doo-doo-doo.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11How nice.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14The Clangers are singing a lullaby

0:08:14 > 0:08:16to help the caterpillar sleep.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Tiny's lullaby is making

0:08:24 > 0:08:26the Clangers sleepy too.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Weee!

0:08:52 > 0:08:54ALL: Woo-oo-oo!

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Well I never!

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Doo doo-do-doo-doo-do.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Major wants to know what's happened to the caterpillar.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Doo-doo-doo-dee

0:09:04 > 0:09:06doop-doop-doo.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Small is right,

0:09:08 > 0:09:10while they were all resting the

0:09:10 > 0:09:13caterpillar has become a magnificent moth,

0:09:13 > 0:09:17with its caterpillar shaped body and leaf-shaped metal wings.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19But it doesn't like it in the cave,

0:09:19 > 0:09:22there's not enough room to fly about.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Doo-doo-doo-do.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28It seems to like the light from

0:09:28 > 0:09:30the Glow-Honey lamp though.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Whoo-dee-do-do.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I think Small has had an idea.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Do-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Small is leading it outside.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09ALL: Whoo-ooo!

0:10:15 > 0:10:18It seems very happy now.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Look, there it goes!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Another wonderful new thing is born

0:10:26 > 0:10:28and what a special way to be born.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31From an egg to a caterpillar,

0:10:31 > 0:10:34to a cocoon and finally a moth,

0:10:34 > 0:10:37set free to fly toward the light of the stars above.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57All: Dood-doo!
