0:00:40 > 0:00:44Planet Earth. A place full of sights and sounds.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Oh, and smells, of course.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51From big powerful smells to light floaty smells

0:00:51 > 0:00:53that wander from here to there.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55And if we followed our noses out into space,

0:00:55 > 0:00:59I wonder what new smells we might find,

0:00:59 > 0:01:03perhaps here, down on the Clangers' planet.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Here's Mother Clanger, watering the flowers in her garden.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Hmm...

0:01:08 > 0:01:11This flower hasn't opened yet.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13But it looks like it's about to.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Would you look at that?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Mother thinks the flower looks wonderful.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Tiny and Small are off for a spot of fishing.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38It's certainly a nice day for it.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39SHE SNIFFS

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Hmm. Tiny can smell something unusual.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51HE SNIFFS

0:01:57 > 0:01:59HE CONTINUES SNIFFING

0:02:04 > 0:02:08The smell is coming from Mother's garden down below.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12A rather bad smell at that!

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Now, what's Major up to?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Ah! An old bucket with a leaky hole.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29That ought to do the trick.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Major is wondering what Tiny and Small are up to.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Only one way to find out.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58Here come Tiny and Small on the trail of that peculiar smell.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04Ah, the perfect chance for Mother to show off her new flower.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13THEY SNIFF

0:03:15 > 0:03:18HE SNIFFS

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Oh, my! It's Mother's new flower. That's what smells so bad.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30SHE SNIFFS

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Mother can smell it too, now.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37The flower is so pretty, she hadn't noticed.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Oh, dear. Mother is sad that no-one likes her flower.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57That's odd...

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Mother's garden just got a lot darker.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Yes, something must be blocking the light.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15IRON CHICKEN CLUCKS

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Ah, there's the Iron Chicken, tidying her nest.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23IRON CHICKEN EXCLAIMS

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Oh! Watch out.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Where was that sky moo going in such a hurry?

0:04:42 > 0:04:46Look! Sky moos. Two of them,

0:04:46 > 0:04:49blocking the light to Mother's garden.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50And here comes another!

0:04:53 > 0:04:54CLUCKING

0:04:56 > 0:04:58The Iron Chicken's in a bit of a flap.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06The Iron Chicken explains that a sky moo flew past her nest

0:05:06 > 0:05:10in a terrible rush and sent her spinning.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15THEY SNIFF

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Tiny thinks the sky moos like the smell of Mother's new flower.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Major doesn't think that's very likely. The flower smells awful!

0:05:34 > 0:05:35SKY MOO SNIFFS

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Mother thinks Tiny is right.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47The Clangers don't like the smell, but the sky moos might.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Yes, that does make sense.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Well, that's that mystery solved, eh, Major?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Tiny wants to know what's wrong.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09She thought Mother would be glad that somebody likes her flower.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Ah.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17If the sky moos stay here for good,

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Mother's garden won't get the light it needs to grow.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Ah. Small's asking the sky moo to move.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37But I don't think that sky moo wants to move.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Small's certainly trying very hard to move the sky moo.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Yes, Major and the Iron Chicken are right. Small does need some help.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02And they're going to try and help him.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08But the sky moos just won't budge.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Tiny thinks they should carry the flower up to the surface instead.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21That'd get the sky moos away from the hole.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Good point, Major.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27If they carry the flower through the living cave,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29the smell will get everywhere.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Mother thinks there might be another way.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Oh, look - Major's bucket.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Didn't take long for that to come in handy!

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Look at that! Small is going fishing after all.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24This looks like a very well-organised plan.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Steady... Steady...

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Here it comes...

0:09:00 > 0:09:01They've done it!

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Phew! That was hair-raising stuff.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Yes, Mother's idea was very clever.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Now the sky moos can enjoy the flower without getting in the way.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04But Small is worried that the sky moos might never go home, now.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12The Iron Chicken thinks she can help with that.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20And so, the Iron Chicken carries mother's flower through

0:10:20 > 0:10:24the cosmos, en route to the sky moos' planet.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29What a nice gift from Mother Clanger.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30How funny!

0:10:30 > 0:10:35A smell the Clangers didn't like was loved by the sky moos.

0:10:35 > 0:10:36SKY MOOS MOO

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Isn't it nice that we like different things?
