0:00:42 > 0:00:43Planet Earth,

0:00:43 > 0:00:45spinning around our sun.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48With its wonderful machines and clever devices,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52fixing and mending all kinds of problems.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54And if we were to fly deep into outer space,

0:00:54 > 0:00:57we may find other planets like our own,

0:00:57 > 0:01:02where every now and again, there's a problem to sort out, too.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Ah, it's the Clangers' cleaning day.

0:01:17 > 0:01:22Looks like Tiny and Small are really enjoying themselves.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Granny Clanger likes to clean from the comfort of her puffball chair.

0:01:28 > 0:01:29Very sensible.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Yes, the living cave is sparkling clean.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Oh, spoke too soon, for a dust weave's on the ceiling.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Very unsightly.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Hmm... But how to reach up there?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Ah. Major has an idea.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10HE BANGS RHYTHMICALLY

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Very curious - and very noisy!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35My word! Whatever is he wearing?

0:02:38 > 0:02:43Major tells everyone not to worry. His invention is perfectly safe.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Oh, he's asking Small to press the button.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59MACHINE WHIRS

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Oh, I say!

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Yes, be careful!

0:03:10 > 0:03:11CLANG!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Major is very pleased with himself.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23This is the first time the ceiling has ever been cleaned.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30So, whilst Major cleans, Small and Tiny are off to get soup.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Tiny and Small suggest

0:03:47 > 0:03:51the Soup Dragon come and see Major's new invention.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53She won't believe her eyes!

0:03:55 > 0:03:56CLANG!

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Major seems to be getting to grips with his new device.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Tiny and Small were right.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25That's a sight the Soup Dragon won't forget in a hurry.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Ah, soup is ready.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39How strange. Maybe Major's not hungry.

0:04:45 > 0:04:50Oh, dear! Major forgot to make a "down" button.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53He's stuck bobbing around the ceiling!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56He's very hungry indeed,

0:04:56 > 0:04:59and desperately wants to come down to eat.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Oh, Small has an idea.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20What's Small up to?

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Any colour will do, Tiny.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Ah, she's chosen yellow. Lovely.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Granny thinks it might be cold up there.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yes, Small is indeed very clever.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Dinner is served.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Major loves his soup and scarf,

0:06:16 > 0:06:20but he really wishes he was eating with everyone else.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22How can they get him down?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33The Froglets are trying to reach Major.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35A rescue party, perhaps?

0:06:38 > 0:06:39Yes, you can do it!

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Maybe third time lucky?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56SHE LAUGHS

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Major wasn't expecting that!

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yes, Granny. At least they tried.

0:07:07 > 0:07:12Mother's had an idea. Is there anyone who could fly up there?

0:07:12 > 0:07:13Hmm...

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Tiny's calling for help.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27IRON CHICKEN CLUCKS

0:07:27 > 0:07:29The Iron Chicken is on her way.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Ah. Major may be stuck, but he's making himself useful.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44He makes a terrific ceiling light.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Oh, no! That crack will need filling.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Rock putty - that should do the trick.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Yes, Tiny. Hopefully the Iron Chicken can help Major.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Hello. This plan might just work.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Interesting.

0:09:10 > 0:09:16The harder they all pull down, the harder Major's backpack pulls up.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Small seems to have a plan now.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Oh, I see! They're to break Major's fall.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Small says it's safe to drop.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Phew! Major's safely down.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Back where he belongs.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05But what of the backpack?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07CLANGING

0:10:19 > 0:10:22There goes Major's unruly invention.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Sometimes, solving a problem can be tricky,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29but the Clangers worked together,

0:10:30 > 0:10:32and sorted it out in the end.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36And who knows? The backpack may help someone else,

0:10:36 > 0:10:39out there, amongst the stars.
