0:00:38 > 0:00:41# They made a world from junk

0:00:41 > 0:00:44# With a bang, a twang and a clunk

0:00:44 > 0:00:48# They built their homes Round the Nut'n'Bolt Tree

0:00:57 > 0:01:00# Little Robots! #

0:01:06 > 0:01:09TINY GRUNTS Hurray!

0:01:09 > 0:01:14One broken old spring. Which box should we put that in?

0:01:14 > 0:01:19- In the box of broken old springs? - You're getting good at sorting.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Decisions, that's what this job's about.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27- You're so good at making them, Stretchy.- Thank you.

0:01:27 > 0:01:33The box of rectangular-shapes or the box of things with holes in them?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- I think the hole's the most useful thing about it.- Exactly.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40The box of things with holes. SINGING

0:01:40 > 0:01:46- That's all I need when I'm trying to concentrate.- # La-la-la! #

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Hello! What are you two doing?

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Trying to concentrate, Noisy. We're sorting.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- # La-la-la! #- Thank you, Noisy.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Now, what shall we do with this?

0:02:01 > 0:02:06- It could go in the box of bendy things.- # La-la-la... #- WHAT?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- # La-la-la... #- NOISY! STOP!

0:02:09 > 0:02:11TWANG!

0:02:11 > 0:02:16- What a twang!- Maybe it should go in the box of noisy things.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Maybe it should go home with me!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- No.- Oh, please!

0:02:22 > 0:02:27Most of my noisy things are things to bang, not things to twang!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Oh, you can have it, but twang it somewhere else!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Don't you like my noise, Stretchy?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36There's a time and a place for it.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Right now, I need to concentrate.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42- TWANG! - Thank you for my twanger.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45LOUD LAUGH

0:02:45 > 0:02:47TWANG!

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Now then, my dear old bat, do you understand the plan?

0:02:53 > 0:03:00- SQUEAK, SQUEAK! - The next Little Robot who comes by will get the fright of their life.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Oh!

0:03:01 > 0:03:07You will swoop down and flap madly around their head. Understood?

0:03:07 > 0:03:08YAWN

0:03:08 > 0:03:12You're not at your best during the day, are you?

0:03:12 > 0:03:18Give it a go, old girl, for me. I haven't scared anyone for ages.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21- # La-la-la-la-LA! # - TWANG! TWANG!

0:03:21 > 0:03:26You're on. Here comes Noisy. Give it some welly, Flappy.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- More feeling, old girl.- Ee! Ee!

0:03:32 > 0:03:36Hello, Flappy. I must show you my new noisy thing.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Oh-h!

0:03:38 > 0:03:40TWANG! Ee! Ee!

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Oh.

0:03:42 > 0:03:48That was ghastly. Stretchy may have something I can frighten her with.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'll go and see him right now.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54You can rehearse your scary flapping.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58SNORING

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Flappy?- ZZ-zz...

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Oh, never work with bats!

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Hello, Spotty!

0:04:09 > 0:04:12TWANG! Oh!

0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Oh, don't you like it? - No, I do not.

0:04:16 > 0:04:22Huh-uh! I do wish somebody else liked noisy things.

0:04:22 > 0:04:27So I need something that'll scare the living daylights out of her.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Oh!

0:04:30 > 0:04:32HISSING

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Hello?

0:04:33 > 0:04:36What's that?

0:04:36 > 0:04:38No idea.

0:04:38 > 0:04:43- Whatever it is, it's in that box. - I'll get Noisy.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47If that doesn't scare her, nothing will.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50TWANG! TWANG!

0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Noisy!- What?- Come with me at once.

0:04:52 > 0:04:57I have the most marvellous surprise for you.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Oh, Scary! It's lovely!

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Just what I've always wanted, a noisy box.

0:05:08 > 0:05:14- Hmm.- Don't you find it even a teeny bit scary?

0:05:14 > 0:05:19Scary, Scary?! Of course not! Can I have it, Stretchy?

0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Noisy, you've already had one noisy thing from me today.- Oh, please!

0:05:24 > 0:05:29I really have to have it. I need it, I need it, I NEED it!

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Stop!

0:05:30 > 0:05:35- That box could be really dangerous. - Dangerous?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39But, Spotty, I'm the expert on noises.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43That noisy box doesn't sound at all dangerous to me.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46No, Noisy, do not pick it up.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Either control yourself, or go home until we've sorted this out.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Oh, not fair!

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Off you go!- Fine. I don't mind.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00I'll just go home to bang and twang on my own.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Right.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Plan A, Scary, you are going to scare that box.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Me?- So if it stops making that noise, it's scared of you.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh!

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Anything that's scared of you can't possibly be dangerous.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21- Be scary, Scary.- I think this is a very minor role.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25- I'll go and fetch Flappy. - No, she's useless during the day.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Just flap round the box.- Oh-h!

0:06:30 > 0:06:33HE MAKES SILLY NOISES

0:06:41 > 0:06:46# I'm a noisy Little Robot and I'm all alone

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- # Cos nobody likes noise as much as me. # - TWANG! TWANG!

0:06:50 > 0:06:55# I can bang and I can twang But I do it on my own

0:06:55 > 0:06:59# I'd love to have a friend for company

0:06:59 > 0:07:02# For company

0:07:02 > 0:07:06# Who loved to make a noise as much as me. #

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Oh, Noisy!

0:07:10 > 0:07:15- Cheer up!- You don't know what it feels like to want something badly.

0:07:15 > 0:07:21- And SOMEONE says you can't have it! - And what's that, Noisy?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25It's the most fantastic noisy box in Stretchy's yard.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29- It was meant for me! - Let's see what we can do.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Whoo! Wah-ah!

0:07:34 > 0:07:39It's no good. You couldn't scare a mouse, Scary. We'll try plan B.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Stretchy, throw something at it.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I had a feeling it would be me.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49STOP!

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- You might break what's inside. - That's the plan.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56It might be a nice thing in there.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- It sounds nice to me.- Nice things do not make terrible noises.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Stretchy.

0:08:04 > 0:08:09- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! - Wah! It's even louder now.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14- We need to find a way to open it. - Go on, Spotty. Plan C, your turn.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Open the box. You're not serious?!

0:08:18 > 0:08:23Do it without touching it. We need a long thing to slot under the lid.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28- TWANG! - Yes, Noisy, you've got the answer.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Wedge one end of your twanger under the lid of the box.- Ee!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Now lean down on your end.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36TWANG!

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Stretchy, lean over and see what's inside.- Do I have to?

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Stretchy, what are you? A robot or a mouse?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49HE LAUGHS

0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Well, what is it? What can you see? - What is it?!

0:08:53 > 0:08:56It's a mouse. MECHANICAL HISSING

0:08:56 > 0:08:59I can't take any more!

0:09:00 > 0:09:05Oh, it's lovely! What a wonderful day it's been for noisy things!

0:09:05 > 0:09:10Where should I put this, I wonder? TWANG!

0:09:10 > 0:09:11(Noisy.)

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Quite right. Noisy gets the prize.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Oh, thank you!

0:09:17 > 0:09:22I've got a special friend who likes to make a noise as much as I do!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Zzzzzzzzzz.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Oh, wait for me! - OTHERS LAUGH
