0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Hi, Spotty! - Rusty, ready for inspection day?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Oh, goodness, Spotty, what's that?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Do I have to be inspected?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- No, inspection days are when- I- check things.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Today, it's holes-in-the-ground inspection day.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26This is my holes-in-the-ground inspection machine.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Neat, eh?- Oh, yes, mm-hm. VERY mm-hm!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36THIS tells me how WIDE a hole is.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- OW!- Oh!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Mm-hm. THIS...
0:01:45 > 0:01:49..tells me how deep it is. And this is...
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- To hit things with. - Yes, that's right!- Oh!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56To make sure that they're strong and solid.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Have fun then, Spotty. I'm off to the oasis for a bit. Bye!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Ow!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Ho-ho-ho. Very nifty machine that, though I say it myself.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Very nifty indeed.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I spoke too soon, I fear. I...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Oh! Oh, no! Oh!
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Oh! Oh, no! Not the chute as well!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33MECHANICAL CLUNKS AND RATTLES
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Looks like you could do with some help, Stretchy.- I'll say!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I was off to the wasteland,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43it's ages since I cleared it, and this happens!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45What you need is an assistant.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'll make you one.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Oh! Ow! OW!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Ooh!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Ow! Um, hum-hum.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Whoa!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Oh!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19There you are - a collectorbot
0:03:19 > 0:03:24to clear metal from the wasteland, while we sort out the mess here.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Oh-ho-ho, you ARE clever, Tiny!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Thank you.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32BLEEP MACHINE RUMBLES AND CLUNKS
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Right, now, all I do is push this switch
0:03:39 > 0:03:43and the collectorbot will work by itself.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55But I don't see the point, Spotty.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I mean, it's my ORCHESTRA pit.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's also a hole in the ground, Noisy,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and today is holes-in-the-ground inspection day,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07so I have to check it!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Noisy! Spotty! Help!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Oh! Oh...! - Rusty, whatever's the matter?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Oh, Noisy, I've had such a fright! There's a...thing, out there.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Oh!- It's got six arms, and it waves them, and it makes noises, and...
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- Does it talk?- I don't know, Noisy! I didn't wait to find out.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I knew this would happen one day.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41As I thought, it is not a Little Robot.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44That can only mean one thing.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- What, Spotty?- What does it mean?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51It means that, whatever it is, it's come from outside our world.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It may mean to do us harm. It's an invader.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- An...- An... - TOGETHER: An Invader! NO!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00We're doomed! WE'RE DOOMED!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- BE QUIET!- Oh!- BOTH of you!
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- Oh!- This is no time to panic. There may be other invaders on their way.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Hup, hup.- And it's up to us to stop them.- Stop who?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13THAT...THING!
0:05:15 > 0:05:19We've got a top-level emergency, here, Sporty -
0:05:19 > 0:05:24A RED ALERT! You are looking at an invader from outside our world!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Who knows what damage it may do?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- But what, exactly, is it? - I've no idea.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Obviously, our first job is to get close enough to find out.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37On NO ACCOUNT must the invader see us.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39So, Noisy,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41you MUST be very quiet.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43YES, SPOTTY!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Oh, ho-ho, sorry. Ha! - SNORT!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Rusty, you mustn't let off steam.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50WHISTLE Oh! Agh!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Thank you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56And, Sporty, you must try to look as small as possible.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Um, right.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Follow me.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Shhh!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13SCREAMS
0:06:13 > 0:06:16There seems to be only one invader, thank goodness.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18But others may be on their way.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20You're the fastest, Sporty,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23so run round and find out where it broke in.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Bring back something to dig with! - To dig with?!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30That's right! I've worked out how to catch it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32OK, see you!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52No sign of any break-in, Spotty, but I could've missed something.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Thank you, Sporty. Listen, everyone,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57we are now going to capture the invader.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Rusty, Noisy,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- you keep watch for any other invaders.- BOTH: Yes, Spotty.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Sporty, as soon as it goes back the other way,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09run out and dig a deep trench double-quick.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- I'll show you where, OK? - Rely on me, Spotty.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Stand by, then.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18GO!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25BLEEPING
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Well done, Sporty. Keep it up.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- BLEEP, BLEEP - Oh!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Ow! - BLEEP
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Sporty, time to get out! Sporty!
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Argh!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- SPOTTY!- Eek!- Oh!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44CONSTANT BLEEP
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Gnn...argh!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Run, Sporty! Run! - No, I've got to get her out!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Sa-ave me.- Oh! O-o-oh!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Sa-a-a-ave me-ee-ee-ee!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59MACHINE BLEEPS AND WHOOPS
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- What shall we do? What shall we DO? - I'll get Tiny. He'll know.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08BLEEP
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Ah, collectorbot's full up.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- I'll tell it to come back. - Hup, hup, hup, hup.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18EMERGENCY, TINY! Invaders! Red Alert! Ahn-grrr-urp!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Ahn-grrr-urp!- Hey, careful, Sporty! - Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Eh? Red alert?!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33My, oh, my, it IS full up!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Crikey! It's Spotty!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Spotty, what are you doing?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Eh, Spotty?- No, no! I...
0:08:41 > 0:08:46I surrender. I'll come quietly. Take me to your leader.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Stretchy?!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51This'll frighten away any invaders, Rusty!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yes, it seems to be working, so far! Ho-ho!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Sporty, thank goodness! - What invader?! Where is it?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's gone!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- It's gone?!- Yes, it went away. We've been trying to...
0:09:05 > 0:09:09WHISTLE Oh, look, it's coming back!
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- It's coming to get me!- It's still got Spotty! What shall we do, Tiny?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Oh, dunno, really.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Let's ask her.- What?!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Ho-ho-ho! Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Ah!- Anyone for a ride?
