0:00:02 > 0:00:03THEY BEATBOX
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hmm?
0:00:05 > 0:00:10THEY SCAT
0:00:12 > 0:00:14THEY HARMONISE
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Hmm.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22THEY HARMONISE
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Argh!
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Shut up.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34It's Monday morning at the zoo
0:00:34 > 0:00:38and animal families of all shapes and sizes are starting their day.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Families are an important daily part of daily life at the zoo.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Whee!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- And families are important... - Please, don't let me go!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50..because there's always someone there to catch you if you...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Oh, no!- Please, don't let me go! - What are you doing?!- Argggh!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Ah, yes!- Gotcha!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Just a small drop.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- Cheeky monkeys! - We're baboons, actually.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Right. Anyway...
0:01:02 > 0:01:07families at the zoo are growing all the time and new arrivals
0:01:07 > 0:01:09always cause a bit of a stir. SNORING
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Hey!- Today, one group of animals is causing an even bigger stir
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- than normal.- What?- What?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18In fact, it's the biggest stir since stirring records began.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And cat keeper Helen has some more information.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We're expecting lion cubs, and so we're very excited about that
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and hoping that's all going to go nicely.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- You're not excited, are you? - Very excited.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Yes, it is exciting, isn't it? And how about the father?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Huh?- Neil?- What? What have I done this time?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39You know, the thing about you becoming a dad.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm going to be a dad?!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44SCREECHING
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- Oh!- Sorry, Neil. I thought you knew.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Well, while Neil is getting used to the idea of becoming a dad,
0:01:51 > 0:01:56the exciting news of the cubs' impending arrival is spreading fast.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02But not everyone is happy about the prospect of the new arrivals.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Oh, no! You know what this means, don't you?- More bananas?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Er, no. All the visitors love a cute little baby.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We won't stand a chance against them cubs.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Geoffrey, what are you yabbering about?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Er, hello! Lion cubs.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19When it comes to the cute-o-meter,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22those little fur balls are off the scale.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Everybody who is anybody will want to take a look.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- We won't see any visitors for weeks. - What? Rubbish!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Look at all these people.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Every single one of them is here to see me.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Being cute doesn't come into it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39All I have to do is sit around and catch stuff.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Look, watch this.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Craig! You throw like a monkey.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45You mark my words, boss,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48cute beats rubbish catching skills any day of the week.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Nonsense. Check out my incredible parkour skills.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55HE GROANS
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yes, well, very impressive, Jurgen.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Shut up.- Listen, I really don't think you need to worry.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Babies are boring, funny-looking, cry a lot.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Oh, there's a big crowd over by the lion enclosure.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12They've been born. Go on, then, let's have a look. Excuse me!
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Excuse me. Let me see.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Babies are cute... Oh, my word!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Aww, look at him! He's adorable.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, there's another one.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I take it back, Jurgen, they are ridiculously cute.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Yeah, well, whatever. - Who are you calling cute?!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Yeah, say that again and I'll biff you on the bum, like this!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Yeah, and I'll squash you, like this.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Get off me.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43They are ridiculously cute!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, they're gorgeous, aren't they?
0:03:45 > 0:03:46What are they called?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49We're called lion cubs, stupid!
0:03:49 > 0:03:52No, I mean... Oh, never mind.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53- So, Helen...- Hi!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55How's first-time mum Jenny getting on?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58She's doing very well so far. She's been very calm, very relaxed.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Probably calmer and nicer than her mother was with her.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Oh, it's nonsense. One time I lost you. One time.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09How was I supposed to know that that stupid crocodile
0:04:09 > 0:04:12would be such a terrible baby-sitter?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Ah, right. Anyway, how about dad? Where's he?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18He'd have to watch from a distance until the cubs are older
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- and then he'll be able to go in with them.- Hmm?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Neil, so you're going to meet the cubs soon.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Are you excited about being a dad?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, I mean, well done me and all that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33But what exactly do dads do?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Just look after their kids every day of their lives
0:04:35 > 0:04:37until they're fully grown.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Oh, dear! That all sounds like jolly hard work to me.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Stop being so lazy and pathetic.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Children must look up to their father.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49They need someone strong and confident and courageous.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Oh, I don't know if I can be any of those things.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55You are a waste of space!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Oh, I remember Jenny's ex-boyfriend Maximus.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Now, he would have made a fantastic father.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06You... You are as useless as a cat at a dog show.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10As everyone in the zoo, apart from Neil,
0:05:10 > 0:05:14flocks to try and catch a glimpse of the extremely tiny,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16cutie-wootie little cubs...
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Oh, look at them, they're so adorable.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I just want to give them a cuddle. Their little chubby cheeks!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Anyway, sorry, what was I saying?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Yes. Things aren't quite so busy over on Gorilla Island.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Hm, where is everybody? - Oh, well, what a surprise.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36They've all gone to try and get a look at those super cute lion cubs.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38What? Come on, boys.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41We need to make the people love us again.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Here we go. We will not be out-cuted by those lions.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47We need to get cute.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52Well, then, we need to get something small, fluffy and adorable.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Hm, well, what about Dave?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- DAVE PASSES WIND - Uh?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56No, not really.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Well, what about a puppy then?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yeah, that would do it. But we don't have any puppies.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Hm, OK, true.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Some other cute pet then. - I've got a pet.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Dave, how many times? That's a piece of poo!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Hey, buddy, don't you listen to him.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The gorillas may be struggling to attract any visitors,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22but back at the lion enclosure, there's no such trouble
0:06:22 > 0:06:25as the lion cubs begin to get used to the adoration
0:06:25 > 0:06:28of their adoring public and mother.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Ouch!
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Next-door, it's nearly time for Neil to meet his cutie-wootie
0:06:33 > 0:06:34little cubs.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Neil, not long now. Feeling a bit more ready?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Well, I've been practising being a strong and confident dad.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I've been working on my roar. Watch this.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46This should be amusing!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47R...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Ro... Roo...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Roo...
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Achoo!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- What do you think? - Pah!- Yes...- Terrible.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Terrifying, Neil. - Rubbish.- Absolutely terrifying.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Oh, no! I just don't think I can be a dad.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oi, scruff ball.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- You need to start facing up to your responsibilities.- Oh!
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Lazy bum.- Mum! He's not lazy.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12He's just, you know, he's sensitive.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Oh, I'm going to be terrible!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18With the public turning up in their thousands to get a glimpse of the
0:07:18 > 0:07:21cutie-wootie ickle cubbie-wubbies...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Enough of all this cutie-wootie, huh?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Sorry, as I was saying.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27..the gorillas aren't getting a look in.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Are you, Jurgen?
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- Gerti! Gerti!- Hello, Jurgen? What on earth is Jurgen doing?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38He's convinced we need a cute pet to bring the crowds back.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- I've told him it won't work. - And who's Gerti?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's his new pet goldfish. He keeps losing it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Shut up, Geoffrey!- I've got a pet.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50No, you don't, Dave.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Back with the lions, the throngs are still thronging.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58The time has come for the cubs to finally meet their dad
0:07:58 > 0:08:03for the first time. Everyone who's anyone has turned out to watch.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Yeah, we're going to meet Dad!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Yay, yay! - I can't wait to pull his tail.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I'm going to jump on his head.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Oh!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Neil, it's nearly time. Are you ready?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I... OK, well, I'll give it a try.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Oh, come on, Neil.- Oh, come on. - You can do this.- Come on, Neil!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Be strong, be confident, be courageous.- I can...
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I can do this.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I am a lion.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I am king of the jungle!
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Neil, here they come!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Dad! Dad!- Oh, don't hurt me! Don't hurt me.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Don't hurt me. Please, don't hurt me!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Dad, come and play with us. - Play with you?- Yes!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah, play with us, Dad.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Ha-ha!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Well, I know how to play!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, that tickles.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Whoohoo! You're the best dad ever!
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Oh, he is. I love you, Dad. - Being a dad's easy.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I thought I had to be strong, confident and courageous.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Yes, you do.- No, you just need to be big...and hairy.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- That I can do.- Oh, look, I knew he'd be a great dad.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh, he's brilliant, isn't he, Mum?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Hm, whatever.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17With the lions finally together as one big happy, adorable family...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm the daddy! Oh, Jenny!
0:09:19 > 0:09:24..things over on Gorilla Island are, well, much less adorable.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Does this look cute? - No.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29How about this?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30- No.- What about this?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Geoffrey, what about this? Do I look cute?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37No! Will you give it a rest, boss?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Look, I think you have to accept that as a massive western lowland
0:09:41 > 0:09:45gorilla, you're probably never going to be considered that cute.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47But, wait, look!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49The people, they're coming back.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52See, I am super cutie.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56They are coming back but that's not because you're cute, boss.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00It's because they like seeing a big hairy ape.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Hmm.- Yeah, it's like, be yourself, dude.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Big, stupid, playing around like an idiot.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Oh, hold on!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Dave?- Hmm?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- What are you eating? Is that Gerti...- Uh-oh!- ..my goldfish?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Agggh!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19No! No, Dave! Gerti!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- There you go. Perfect! - No, Dave! Agggh!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Look, boss, the people are loving it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Give me back my fishy!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Sorry, dude! That was yummy.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I hate you, Dave.
