0:00:41 > 0:00:44Planet Earth - a place of wonder,

0:00:44 > 0:00:48full of useful inventions to help us with our busy lives.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52And if we were to travel across the vastness of space, we might find

0:00:52 > 0:00:59other planets, like this one, where busy lives need a little help, too.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Ah, here's Tiny and Small, busy polishing the music boat.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Oh, and there's Mother Clanger busy in her garden.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11What a lot of clipping she has.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Granny Clanger's busy, too.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16How kind.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19She's knitted a little balaclava for a froglet.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Two more balaclavas, please, Granny.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Yes, all the Clangers are busy. BANGING

0:01:32 > 0:01:35None more so than Major, by the sounds of it.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Oh, look. He's made a rather useful-looking trolley.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01KNOCKING

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh, I wonder who that could be?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10That looks like Major's new trolley.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14My word, how clever.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Mother is most impressed.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30How kind indeed.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Major has given the trolley to Mother as a present.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41It's perfect for the garden.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45It goes when you move the joystick and it's simple to steer.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48How very useful indeed.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55And now she's driving the trolley.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Driving it over Major's foot! Ouch!

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Mother's very sorry indeed.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Oh, dear. It's a bit squashed.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17But Mother thinks that with a little rest, it'll be as right as rain.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Major's having none of it. He's too busy to rest.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I think rest is for the best.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Mother's right. A cold step isn't the best place to rest.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Tiny and Small are off to get more cotton balls to polish with.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Oh, look. Good thinking, Mother Clanger.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07She's really got the hang of the trolley now.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16Everyone is most concerned and very interested in the new trolley.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29As Mother explains what happened, Major still thinks he's fine.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37What a kind thought.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Granny has offered Major her puffball to sit on.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Yes, best not touch.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11Major must relax and get better.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Whilst everyone else gets on with their jobs.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28BELL RINGS

0:05:28 > 0:05:33What a good idea. If Major needs help, he should just ring the bell.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37BELL RINGS

0:05:41 > 0:05:45False alarm. Major's just practising.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Sometimes it's not easy to just relax.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00BELL RINGS Ah, that sounds like Major's bell.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Poor Major can't relax.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11His foot aches too much.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15What a great idea, Tiny.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18A little light music always helps you relax.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Tiny's gone to fetch the singing flowers.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29BELL RINGS

0:06:31 > 0:06:33BELL RINGS

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Good idea. A little reviving soup might help, too.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Small must get some right away.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Right, to the garden.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55BELL RINGS

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Major wants something to prop his foot up with. Something soft.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08So mother's going to get something.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Oh, and there goes Small to get the soup.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Here comes the music.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Everyone is very busy looking after Major.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS

0:07:25 > 0:07:26How relaxing.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31And here comes Major's foot rest.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Perfect. Now Major has everything he needs.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47BELL RINGS

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Maybe not.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Major's foot is a bit hot. He wants Mother to get his fan to cool it.

0:08:14 > 0:08:19Granny's sympathetic but she worries that everyone is helping Major,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21rather than doing their own jobs.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35Yes, Major might be a lot happier if he could do things for himself

0:08:35 > 0:08:37while he was relaxing.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Ah, there's Major's fan.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47But what is Mother doing now?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49CREAKING

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Curiouser and curiouser.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10WINDPIPE MUSIC

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Will you look at that?

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Yes, Major's trolley really is the perfect Clanger carrier now.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Ah, I see where this is going.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Yes, stand well back.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Major is a Clanger trolley natural.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Major thanks everyone for their help

0:10:05 > 0:10:08and now everyone can get on with their jobs again.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23Major can't wait to help Mother gather her cuttings.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Yes. Sometimes we all need

0:10:26 > 0:10:29a little help with our busy lives.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Major helped Mother with his invention

0:10:31 > 0:10:34and Mother helped Major with hers.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Three more balaclavas please, Granny.
