0:00:42 > 0:00:44There is planet earth, our home.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47But, of course, it isn't only OUR home.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Lots of other creatures live here, too.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51From huge blue whales
0:00:51 > 0:00:55to things so small they can fit on the end of a pin.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58There are some creatures we don't have names for,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59and have never even seen,
0:00:59 > 0:01:04and if we were to travel off into the vast emptiness we call space,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06perhaps we would find other creatures.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Creatures so strange,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12that at first we may not even think they were living at all.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Ah, well, we know what these are.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18These are Clangers.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Wee-oo-ee wee-oo.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25And they're playing catch with a ball of Granny Clanger's wool.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I think Small is going for a really big throw.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38A really, REALLY big throw.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Oo-ee!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Oops! They won't get that back again.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Woo-oo waa-waa doo-daa-daa-daa.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Small will just have to get another ball.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Wee-oo!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Hold on a minute.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Wee-oo! - Tiny Clanger's seen something.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Wow, it's another ball.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08A strange, silver ball.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Waa-do-woo wee-daa-daa waa-wee.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Small's going to go and have a look.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Wee-woo da-da woo-woo.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Of course, he's going to go up in the music boat.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35SOFT MUSIC PLAYS
0:02:49 > 0:02:50There it is.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56There. He's got it.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Woo-oo.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Wee-woo.- Wee-ee-ee.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Woo wee.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10SOFT MUSIC PLAYS
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Wee-woo-oo wee-woo-oo wee.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Wee-oo-ee wee-oo-ee.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Dee-doo doo.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Dee doo-doo wee!
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Well, it seems to be a very good ball for playing catch.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Oh!
0:03:42 > 0:03:47A hole-in-one. Oh, I don't think Small meant to do that.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53BALL CHIMES Oh, it makes a noise.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54And it glows.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Woo wa woo?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- There's Major Clanger. - Woo waa-waa woo?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Major Clanger wants to know what that noise was.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Waa woo?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12# Doo daa waa. #
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Doo-daa-doo dee-dee waa-waa waa-wee-wee-waa.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Tiny and Small don't know anything about a noise.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22They were just playing with a ball they found.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Daa woo-woo.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Wee-waa-waa waa-woo. Waa.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Here it is, Major. Catch.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- BALL CHIMES - Ooo!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40BALL CHIMES
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Woo, daa-daa!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Wee-woo waa-waa woo-woo waa-wee.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53Yes. It glows and makes a noise when it bounces against something.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00BALL CHIMES
0:05:00 > 0:05:01What fun!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Wee woo-woo woo-woo. - Wee woo-woo woo-woo.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Hmph. Major thinks the ball's fun,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13but he's got far more important things to do.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17BALL CHIMES
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Bra-ra-ra ra-ra-ra-ra.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Hra-ra ra-ra?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Baby Soup Dragon wants to know what they're playing with.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Ee-oo-oo aa-ee-aa.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32They don't know what it is, but it's fun to throw around.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Bla-bla la-la-la-la hra-hra.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46BALL CHIMES
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Hmm. Where's it bounced off to now?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56BALL CHIMES
0:05:56 > 0:06:01It's bounced all the way to Mother Clanger in her garden.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Oo ee?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- Ee oo oo.- Ee oo oo.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Ee ii oo?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13- Ee oo oo.- Ee oo oo.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Mother wants to know what it is and where it's from.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19But Tiny and Small don't know.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Ee oo.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27BALL CHIMES
0:06:27 > 0:06:30All they know is it's fun to play with.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Ee oo ee.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37Oo oo aa ee oo. Oo oo aa ee oo. Woo woo waa waa ee oo.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Mother says that, if they don't know what it is, or where it's from,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45then they should treat it with kindness.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Woo oo ee ee wee wee waa waa.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It might not be just a ball.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54It might be a living thing from space, like them.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Woo waa woo.- Hra-rra gra-gra.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Woo oo oo.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Woo oo oo.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Hra-ra gra.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Sorry, ball.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05BALL CHIMES
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Wee hee!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Woo ee, ee oo ee aa oo.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14You see? It understands. It is a living thing.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Oo ee?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Here's Granny Clanger. She wants to know what they've found.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Ee ee aa woo-oo-oo.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Wee-oo ee-ee-oo-oo.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Really? Granny has seen these things before?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31They ARE living things, just like hoots are.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Oo aa ee-ee?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35She wants to know where its friends are.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Wee oo ee oo.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Wee woo. Oo-oo ee.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44BALL CHIMES
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Oo oo ee ee ee.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Granny wants to know if the ball's friends are here.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Woo-wee-woo!- Woo-wee-woo!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It seems the ball understands what Granny is saying...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oo oo ee ee. Wee-woo.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04..and wants the Clangers to follow it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08They're off outside, to see if there are any more balls there.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11RATTLE BALL CHIMES
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Woo oo.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Oh, look! Granny was right.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21There are more balls in the sky.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Woo oo ee aa!- Woo oo ee aa! - Hra-hra-hra-hra!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Ee ee oo aa.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Granny says they must be waiting for their friend.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Ee ee oo. Ee ee oo.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Yes. Throw the ball up, Small.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Well done. Well done, Small.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45BALLS CHIME
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Oh.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52That ball makes a different noise, and it glows a different colour.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54And so do the others.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Hoo-oo!- Hoo-oo!- Hra-hra!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03BALLS CHIME
0:09:03 > 0:09:05What a lovely sound.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Wee-oo. Ee-oo ee-oo.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11BALLS PLAY A TUNE
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Tiny wants to join in.
0:09:21 > 0:09:29TREES PLAY ALONG
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I think the balls rather like the music from the music trees.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52And now they're all playing together.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Well, there you are. Some things aren't always what they seem.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08The universe is full of surprises.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17That ball is certainly not a toy to throw around.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21It is a living thing, that loves to play music with its friends.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And with its new friends, too. The Clangers.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57- ALL:- Oo-aa!
