There we are.

0:00:420:00:44

The planet Earth, our home.

0:00:440:00:47

A place where everyday is a birthday.

0:00:470:00:49

A day when someone is actually born

0:00:490:00:52

and gets the gift of life.

0:00:520:00:54

And if we were to travel off into the darkness of space

0:00:540:00:57

perhaps we would find other places

0:00:570:01:00

where other creatures are born.

0:01:000:01:03

Ah, look, there's Small Clanger,

0:01:030:01:05

out fishing in the music boat.

0:01:050:01:08

And he's caught something.

0:01:080:01:12

Woo-woo-woo.

0:01:120:01:14

It looks like a metal ball.

0:01:140:01:17

Something to show the others I think.

0:01:170:01:20

Wee-eee wee-do-do-do.

0:01:240:01:27

Awoo-do.

0:01:280:01:31

Wa-do-do?

0:01:310:01:34

Whoo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:01:340:01:36

Doo-do-doo.

0:01:360:01:38

No, no-one knows what it is.

0:01:380:01:41

It's a mystery.

0:01:410:01:42

Doo-doo-doo-woo-doo-doo.

0:01:420:01:45

And it can go with all the other mysterious things

0:01:450:01:48

the Clangers have found...

0:01:480:01:50

..on a special shelf in Major's workshop.

0:01:510:01:55

Mmm, what a lot of curious things he's got.

0:01:550:01:59

Oo-doo-do-do-do.

0:02:020:02:05

Woo-woo!

0:02:050:02:07

Blue-string pudding for dinner, Major's favourite.

0:02:070:02:11

Hold on, the ball's moving.

0:02:170:02:19

Hello, what's this?

0:02:260:02:28

It looks like...

0:02:280:02:30

Like a caterpillar, except it's a

0:02:300:02:32

caterpillar made of metal.

0:02:320:02:34

It's eating the Clanger's copper leaves.

0:02:460:02:49

Well, of course.

0:02:490:02:51

What else would a metal caterpillar eat?

0:02:510:02:54

Now it's eating the leaves by the soup wells.

0:03:140:03:17

Abwa-wi-wi-wi-wi

0:03:310:03:33

abwi-wa-wa-wa.

0:03:330:03:35

Abla-bli-bli-bli-bloo-bloo!

0:03:350:03:39

The Soup Dragon has seen the nibbled-copper trees.

0:03:390:03:43

Abbla-bla-bla-bloo-oo.

0:03:430:03:45

She must tell the Clangers.

0:03:450:03:47

Bla-la-la-ga-gra-oo.

0:03:470:03:50

A-bla-gra-bla-la-gra.

0:03:500:03:52

A-bla-bli-bla-gri-gra.

0:03:520:03:53

ALL: Awooo-oo?!

0:03:530:03:55

-Woo-woo.

-Oh, the leaves are completely nibbled.

0:03:580:04:02

Woo-too-too.

0:04:020:04:05

Wo-too-doo-too-do-doo.

0:04:070:04:09

Woo-doo-doo-too-doo-doo.

0:04:090:04:11

Major is worried that the metal things in his workshop

0:04:110:04:15

might be nibbled too.

0:04:150:04:16

Blo-bli-bli-blo-gra.

0:04:160:04:18

Bla-laa-laa-gra-ra.

0:04:180:04:21

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo!

0:04:210:04:24

All Major's things are OK.

0:04:240:04:26

But Major has the ball that Small found.

0:04:260:04:29

Look, it's broken and empty.

0:04:290:04:32

-It must be an egg of some sort.

-Woo-ooo-ooo.

0:04:320:04:35

Doo-doo-doo.

0:04:350:04:37

Yes, something has hatched from the egg

0:04:370:04:40

and the Clangers have a visitor

0:04:400:04:43

and a very hungry visitor at that.

0:04:430:04:45

Dee-doo-doo.

0:04:450:04:47

Dee-do-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:04:470:04:49

Good idea, Small.

0:04:490:04:51

If they all split up they might find

0:04:510:04:53

this visitor of theirs more quickly.

0:04:530:04:56

Where's Granny going?

0:04:580:05:00

Ah! Oh, she's gone for her after-dinner nap.

0:05:030:05:06

Woo-ooo!

0:05:190:05:20

There it is.

0:05:200:05:22

-Ooo-woo.

-Mother has seen the thing that's been eating everything.

0:05:230:05:27

She's going to try and catch it.

0:05:270:05:30

Woo-ooo! Woo-doo-doo-doo.

0:05:330:05:36

Doo-doo-doo whoo-doo-doo.

0:05:380:05:41

Whoo-doo-doo. Whoo-doo-doo.

0:05:410:05:44

Small thinks that it's not very nice to trap a living thing.

0:05:440:05:49

But, oh!

0:05:510:05:52

It's eaten its way through the bucket.

0:05:520:05:56

Whoo-doo-doo!

0:05:560:05:57

Oh, it's getting away.

0:05:570:06:00

Doo-do-do

0:06:000:06:01

Doo-doo doo-do?

0:06:010:06:03

What's Small doing?

0:06:030:06:06

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:06:100:06:12

Doo-do-do doo-do-doo.

0:06:120:06:14

Ah, he's trying to get it to come to him.

0:06:140:06:17

Dee-do-doo-doo-dee-oop?

0:06:170:06:19

Small wants to know if they can put some leaves in the bucket

0:06:190:06:23

for the caterpillar to eat.

0:06:230:06:25

Whoo-doo-doo-doo.

0:06:250:06:27

That's one very happy caterpillar.

0:06:320:06:35

Doo-do-doo-dee-doo.

0:06:350:06:37

And now Small wants to show

0:06:370:06:39

Granny their visitor.

0:06:390:06:41

Do-do-doo!

0:06:470:06:50

Granny's not ready for visitors.

0:06:500:06:53

She's still having her after-dinner nap.

0:06:530:06:55

Woo-oo.

0:06:550:06:57

Do-doo-doo. Woo-whoo!

0:06:570:06:59

Where did it go?

0:06:590:07:01

Do-do-dee-doo-doo.

0:07:080:07:10

Where's it off to now?

0:07:100:07:13

ALL: Woo-wooo!

0:07:130:07:16

ALL: Ooo-ooo-ooo!

0:07:180:07:20

Boing-boing!

0:07:200:07:22

Look at that! What's it doing?

0:07:240:07:27

It's making a thread and spinning

0:07:270:07:29

a coat for itself, a cocoon.

0:07:290:07:32

Wee-doo-woo-ooo.

0:07:360:07:38

Doo-dood-do-do-doo.

0:07:380:07:39

Small doesn't want Granny to miss this.

0:07:390:07:43

Woo-ooo-ooo!

0:07:460:07:48

Do-doop-doo-dee-do-doo.

0:07:480:07:50

Yes, Granny! It's a first-class knitter.

0:07:500:07:53

Wee-doo-doo-dee-dee.

0:07:550:07:57

Perhaps it is sleeping.

0:07:570:07:59

I expect it's tired after all

0:07:590:08:01

that eating and knitting.

0:08:010:08:03

Wee-eep-dee-doo-doo-doo.

0:08:030:08:07

How nice.

0:08:090:08:11

The Clangers are singing a lullaby

0:08:110:08:14

to help the caterpillar sleep.

0:08:140:08:16

Tiny's lullaby is making

0:08:210:08:24

the Clangers sleepy too.

0:08:240:08:26

Weee!

0:08:410:08:43

ALL: Woo-oo-oo!

0:08:520:08:54

Well I never!

0:08:540:08:56

Doo doo-do-doo-doo-do.

0:08:560:08:59

Major wants to know what's happened to the caterpillar.

0:08:590:09:02

Doo-doo-doo-dee

0:09:020:09:04

doop-doop-doo.

0:09:040:09:06

Small is right,

0:09:060:09:08

while they were all resting the

0:09:080:09:10

caterpillar has become a magnificent moth,

0:09:100:09:13

with its caterpillar shaped body and leaf-shaped metal wings.

0:09:130:09:17

But it doesn't like it in the cave,

0:09:170:09:19

there's not enough room to fly about.

0:09:190:09:22

Doo-doo-doo-do.

0:09:220:09:24

It seems to like the light from

0:09:260:09:28

the Glow-Honey lamp though.

0:09:280:09:30

Whoo-dee-do-do.

0:09:320:09:34

I think Small has had an idea.

0:09:340:09:37

Do-doo-doo-doo-doo.

0:09:440:09:46

Small is leading it outside.

0:09:530:09:56

ALL: Whoo-ooo!

0:10:060:10:09

It seems very happy now.

0:10:150:10:18

Look, there it goes!

0:10:200:10:23

Another wonderful new thing is born

0:10:230:10:26

and what a special way to be born.

0:10:260:10:28

From an egg to a caterpillar,

0:10:280:10:31

to a cocoon and finally a moth,

0:10:310:10:34

set free to fly toward the light of the stars above.

0:10:340:10:37

All: Dood-doo!
