0:00:03 > 0:00:06'I was delighted when Jamillah was born.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09'The seventh child is always a lucky child.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12'Her big brothers adored her

0:00:12 > 0:00:14'and she adored them.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19'Her grandfather, Jiddo,

0:00:19 > 0:00:23'told her magical stories, which is how she learned about me.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26'Who drew that? I'm way handsomer.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30'Jamillah grew up to be courageous.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35'One rainy day, Jiddo sent her up to the attic

0:00:35 > 0:00:37'to get a box from his trunk.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47'Boy, was she in for a surprise.'

0:00:50 > 0:00:53If any genies are listening,

0:00:53 > 0:00:55could you give me a wish?

0:00:55 > 0:00:58'Your wish is my command.'

0:00:58 > 0:00:59SHE SCREAMS

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Ah! Listen, don't go dropping the lamp again, OK?

0:01:05 > 0:01:08But, greetings oh, wondrous one.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09Tell me your wish.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14I wish for

0:01:14 > 0:01:17an...adventure.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07EASTERN PIPE MUSIC

0:02:14 > 0:02:17So when is that snake coming out?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20You must be patient. These things take time.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24I've been here too long already. I want my money back.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Erm, sorry, I'll play faster.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38THEY GASP

0:02:38 > 0:02:39I'm sorry. Sorry.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43I didn't mean to scare you.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44- ALL:- Wow.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Oh, but that is amazing, Samir.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Bravo. Bravo.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55Charming a girl is far more difficult than charming a snake.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Here, take your money.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Thank you, much obliged. Thank you.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Thank you. Thank you.- Bravo.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10By the moons of Jupiter, how did you get into that basket?

0:03:10 > 0:03:14You charmed me, remember?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Ha! I can scarcely charm a snake.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK, you really won't believe this.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23I'm from the future, from a place called London.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I don't know how it happens exactly,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30but when I rub a lamp I travel from there to here.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Impossible.- Told you.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38No, I mean, it's impossible to say how excited I am to meet you.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44A girl who flew across time and lives beyond the stars.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I've always thought that time and space are like a coiled rope

0:03:47 > 0:03:49turning round and round, so perhaps

0:03:49 > 0:03:52your time is touching our time and...

0:03:56 > 0:03:57I must get ready.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Since you are from the stars, perhaps you would like to join me

0:04:04 > 0:04:06for an astronomical event.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08- It will be a very rare sighting. - I'd love to.

0:04:08 > 0:04:13I love looking at stars and planets and...

0:04:13 > 0:04:14JAMILLAH LAUGHS

0:04:16 > 0:04:19- You need a cart, snake charmer. - I do. I really do.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21And I know just where to get one.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Follow me.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38OK.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44- Aladdin!- Jamillah.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Hey...

0:04:48 > 0:04:50..aren't you the snake charmer?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Please,

0:04:53 > 0:04:54call me Samir.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56And, yes, I do charm snakes.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I must earn my keep,

0:04:58 > 0:05:02but, truly, I am a man of science.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04And he needs your cart.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Sorry. I can't help you.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09My cart's way too valuable.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14If you're looking for money, I don't have much,

0:05:14 > 0:05:16but I can offer you a lunar eclipse.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21- A what?- A lunar eclipse.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26It's when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon

0:05:26 > 0:05:28and this eclipse is quite rare.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30It's called a blood moon.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Does it bring good luck? - I think so.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Most who see it howl with fear and run inside

0:05:36 > 0:05:39but the wise will be watching and learning.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Well, I am a wise one,

0:05:43 > 0:05:44that's for sure.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50In fact, what I really need is a smart, quick-witted apprentice.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Someone very strong, brave... - Like me?

0:05:55 > 0:05:56..and resourceful,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59with keen eyesight and a gift for learning.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Someone fearless and true.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Oh, me, me!

0:06:05 > 0:06:08I have no idea where to find such a remarkable child.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12You found him.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13It's your lucky day.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Let's go.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45We'll head for the hills of Marmusk.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48It is far from Baghdad so the view will be magnificent.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54But they're locking the city gates.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56How will we get through?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Here.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02A secret door? Fantastic.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04We can leave the city whenever we like.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Kind sir.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11A fine evening, is it not?

0:07:11 > 0:07:12What are you doing?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Your cart is illegal, you realise?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Usually I would just issue a fine,

0:07:21 > 0:07:23but I like this cart,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26so I will take it.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Stop. You can't.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32It's mine.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Away with you or I'll have you thrown in the dungeon.

0:07:49 > 0:07:54- Sorry about your secret door. - Do not worry, I will find another.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57But we will miss tonight's miracle.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59You just cannot see the night sky from Baghdad.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00The lights are too bright.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06If only I could fly, go right over those walls.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Hang on. I'll meet you at the Fountain Square.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09I won't be long.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Genie, are you in there?

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Genie!

0:08:22 > 0:08:26# Rock-a-bye teddies in Genie's lamp,

0:08:26 > 0:08:29# When the rain pours we sometimes get damp... #

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Genie, are you awake?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35GENIE SHOUTS

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Stop rocking my lamp!

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Sorry, I keep forgetting.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47Oh, wondrous one.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54TEDDY SQUEAKS

0:08:54 > 0:08:56What were you doing with all those teddies?

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Well, they were just chilling while I was doing some

0:09:00 > 0:09:04magnificent, fantastic genie stuff.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Ah. Like what?

0:09:08 > 0:09:12It's very complex, complicated genie stuff and I

0:09:12 > 0:09:14wouldn't want to hold you up if, say,

0:09:14 > 0:09:17you had a wish you wanted to ask me for.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Oh, well, if it's going to take a really long time,

0:09:21 > 0:09:22perhaps we'd better leave it.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25I need your help with something.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31So this is a blood moon.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34But why? Is it bewitched?

0:09:34 > 0:09:37No, no, it's not. It's a natural occurrence.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- The red is just the reflection of all the Earth's sunsets.- Oh.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Surprise!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52That is scientifically impossible.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Carpets cannot fly.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56With a genie they can.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57All aboard!

0:10:00 > 0:10:02There's nothing holding it up. How can this be?

0:10:02 > 0:10:03You doubt my powers?

0:10:03 > 0:10:05I shall bring you aboard.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06Allam-brackaroosh.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13JAMILLAH LAUGHS

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Basheezhan...- Wait. I'll save you the trouble.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22That's OK.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Are you sure this is safe? - Pretty sure.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39THEY WHOOP AND CHEER

0:10:47 > 0:10:49This is tremendous.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53I must learn how you do it.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56It only took me 727 years.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Half the time as other genies.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00But...

0:11:00 > 0:11:01I don't believe in genies.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Behold.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15A blood moon.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's wonderful.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22But why is it red?

0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's red because the Moon is moving through the Earth's shadow

0:11:25 > 0:11:27reflecting all our sunsets.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Very good, science apprentice.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35I could look at this moon forever.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38In 972 years of being alive,

0:11:38 > 0:11:42never have I seen such beauty.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Me neither.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46W-w-wait.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49You're 972 years old?

0:11:49 > 0:11:50And a half.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00'Every story has an ending

0:12:00 > 0:12:04'and eventually Jamillah had to say goodbye to Baghdad.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07'It was nice to get home and see her family

0:12:07 > 0:12:10'but Jamillah couldn't wait for her next adventure with Aladdin

0:12:10 > 0:12:12'and me, her brilliant genie.'

0:12:17 > 0:12:21# So what is your wish, say, oh, wondrous one

0:12:23 > 0:12:28# Just don't rock my lamp and your will is done

0:12:30 > 0:12:36# No need for applause Yes, I'm number one

0:12:37 > 0:12:42# 1,000 years in here, it's been too long

0:12:45 > 0:12:49# Your genie is so smart and strong

0:12:51 > 0:12:56# Shazam backazam, oh, it's all gone wrong

0:12:58 > 0:13:01# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

0:13:01 > 0:13:04# I'm the genie from the lamp

0:13:04 > 0:13:07# That's Aladdin, he's our lad

0:13:07 > 0:13:11# In old Baghdad

0:13:11 > 0:13:14# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

0:13:15 > 0:13:18# I'm the genie from the lamp

0:13:18 > 0:13:21# That's Aladdin, he's our lad

0:13:21 > 0:13:26# In old Baghdad

0:13:26 > 0:13:29# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

0:13:29 > 0:13:32# I'm the genie from the lamp

0:13:32 > 0:13:36# A surprise lies through the night

0:13:36 > 0:13:40# Oh, a blood moon, what a sight

0:13:40 > 0:13:48# La-la-la-la-la-la-la. #
