0:01:18 > 0:01:21PROTESTING
0:01:21 > 0:01:24A-one, two, three...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Ohhhhh...!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31SQUAWKS
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Well, it wouldn't have happened if you'd got up when I told you to.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup! Ha-a...
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Ha! Ha...! Now... Where was I?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47..Ah, yes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup...
0:01:50 > 0:01:54SPORTY CONTINUES, BIRD CHEEPS
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Hello. Sounds like it's got a squeak.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02WHISTLING
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Hmm... Drop of oil should do the trick.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09WHISTLING CONTINUES
0:02:09 > 0:02:13It was YOU all the time, you little pickle!
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Go on, fly away home! - CHIRPING
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Oh, it must be wonderful to fly.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29After all, if a little bird can do it,
0:02:29 > 0:02:34a big, strong robot like me should be able to. ..Yes!
0:02:34 > 0:02:39All I need is something to give me a bit more flap.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43CHIRPING
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Hmm... Not going to get much work done, with you out of action, am I?
0:02:52 > 0:02:58Uh-huh... Now, what I need is a scratchwood fort and cawdor pin.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Nope. No, no... Nothing here.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Maybe there'll be something in here.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13There we... Oh! OWW! Oh, no!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Not magnets! Oh...
0:03:16 > 0:03:22I've got a feeling today's going to be a bit of a struggle. ..Oh...
0:03:22 > 0:03:24THIS should do it.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Now for LIFTOFF!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32A-three...a-two...
0:03:32 > 0:03:34a-one...
0:03:34 > 0:03:37a-go...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40CHIRPING LAUGHTER
0:03:44 > 0:03:48GROANING
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Sporty? Is that you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Ohhh-ho...- Sporty!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00That's one...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Oh, bother! It's...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Oh...
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Only one thing for it. Have to go and get someone to help.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Poor Sporty. Whatever happened?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Ooh, I was trying to fly.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You were trying to...what?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Ah... Fly. And it was all going SO well for a moment or two.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Like a bird, I was, until... qua-foo-foo-boof!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Qua-foo-foo-boof?- Yep.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Qua-foo-foo-boof! I hit the ground! Rather hard.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Well...perhaps that's because robots aren't made for flying.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46How do YOU know? Have you ever tried?
0:04:46 > 0:04:52- Well...no.- Exactly! And if THAT thing can fly, then so can I.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'm going to fly. I WILL.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I just need to... Ah-ha!
0:05:00 > 0:05:06- Uh-huh?- Yes! Uh-HUH! That leaf's given me an idea.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10A brilliant idea. A brilliant FLYING idea.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Rusty, I want you to find me an elastic band.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- And I'M going to find a suitable stick.- Oohh...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Upwards, to the stars!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Ooh... They're strong, these magnets, aren't they, Stretchy?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'll say!
0:05:33 > 0:05:39- I should think the coefficient of the diapole mo...- OHH!
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Well done, Tiny! One down, one to...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Oh. Bit of a problem.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Let's see what I can do about it.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51He-e-e-a-a-a...!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Sporty?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Sporty! I've found an elastic band.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Sporty?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Hmm...I wonder if he's forgotten. - Yeow!
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- Oh!- Here I am! And now for Operation Blastoff!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oof!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- STRAINING - Oh!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25BOTH STRAIN
0:06:25 > 0:06:28BOTH: Ohh... Ohh...
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Ooh... What...? How DID you do that?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I don't know - it just happened.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38They seem to push each other away.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I wonder...
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Careful, Tiny.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Ooh.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Hey! Look at that!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Most peculiar. It's as if...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59When you turn them round, they push instead of pull.
0:07:06 > 0:07:12I THINK...that's about... as far as it'll go...
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Then... - DRAMATICALLY:- Prepare for blastoff!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Blastoff? Ooh, Sporty... What's gonna happen?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24You're going to let go of the stick. It'll whizz round and round
0:07:24 > 0:07:28and it'll lift me off the ground. I shall fly upwards...
0:07:28 > 0:07:30to the stars!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Right. Three...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35two...one...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38GO-O-O...!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Sporty, stop! Sporty...!
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Oh, Sporty? That wasn't s'posed to happen, was it?- No.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Be careful! That elastic...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Argh! ARGH-H-H...!- Sporty?
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Oh, dear! I don't think THAT was s'posed to happen either.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Ooh... Ooohhh! Look at that!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Quite extraordinary.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- Who'd have thought that by turning it...- Phoof!
0:08:16 > 0:08:20SPORTY GROANS Sporty! Are you all right?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Oh...speak to me.- Oh-oh...
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Um, without in any way intending to be rude,
0:08:27 > 0:08:33- what's going on?!- Ohhh, it's Sporty.- Yes, I can SEE that.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Well...he's been trying to fly.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Only I haven't had much luck so far.- Oh, Sporty...
0:08:40 > 0:08:45- Have you had enough for one day? - No. I am Sporty.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- I NEVER give up!- Tiny, tell him.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53So...you still want to fly, eh, Sporty?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yes, and I shall, too.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Well, I think you just might.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Upwards, to the stars!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08BREATHLESSLY: Oh, Sporty...
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- How does it feel?- Great!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Just great!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I said I could fly, didn't I?- Wow.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Looks like some of us are better at it than others(!)
0:09:24 > 0:09:28HE LAUGHS
