0:00:02 > 0:00:04BEATBOXING
0:00:04 > 0:00:08THEY SCAT
0:00:29 > 0:00:30- JURGEN:- Shut up.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34It's Monday morning at the zoo,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37where all the animals are preparing for the day.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- And...?- And what?
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Well, normally at this point in the show something funny happens.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Right, yes, yes, it does.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Can you think of anything?
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Oh! Well, you've kind of put me on the spot there.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Er... No, I can't really think of anything.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Right, well, I'll probably just carry on.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Yup.- And hope no-one notices.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Yup.- Right, well...
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Hello.- Everyone at the zoo has their own home.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- All right?- Hi. There's Gorilla Island where the gorillas live.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Guten Morgen.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Morgen. The baboons live on Baboon Rock.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18You bet your caboose we do.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And the flamingos live on Flamingo Lagoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I live here too, you know.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Why is it not called Duck Lagoon?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Or Pelican?- Yup, fair point, Barry, or Pelican.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32He lives here, too. I mean, Duck Lagoon sounds better, though, yeah?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I'm not sure I want to get involved.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- My dear little duck... - My name is Angela, actually.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38- Well, Andrea...- Angela.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Some birds have a certain star quality and some simply don't.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45If they call it Duck Lagoon, no-one would come to visit...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Oh, is that a camera? Yoo-hoo!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Hi.- Hello, sweetie.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Yes, hello.- I used to be in nature films, you know.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Oh, get lost, you bunch of show-offs.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Well, Andrea...- It's Angela.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Sorry. Well, Angela, you may be in for some good news,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04because over in the office Senior Head Keeper...
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Ouch! ..because Senior Head Keeper of birds Mr Pete Smallbones
0:02:07 > 0:02:10is getting ready for a big day. Morning.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Morning.- You all right?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yeah, good, thanks.- So, what is going on today, then?
0:02:14 > 0:02:20Well, we are moving our 52 flamingos from the lagoon to an aviary just
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- near the office.- Wow, Andrea will be pleased.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24- Yup.- It's Angela.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yeah, sorry. Sounds like a big job, then, Pete?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31We've got to literally physically carry one at a time
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- from almost one end of the zoo to the other.- Did you hear that?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You may well be naming this place Duck Lagoon after all.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40The flamingos are moving.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Finally!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43We are getting rid of those pink prima donnas.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46It's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Duck Lagoon.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49What about Goose Lagoon?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Yes, yes, Deirdre, that is also an option,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56but the most important thing is they are moving!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Did someone say "moving"?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I think they were talking about your performance, darling.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Well, yes, that does sound like me.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Oh, look, a camera. Yoo-hoo!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Yes, hello.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The zoo opens in one-hour's time
0:03:09 > 0:03:12and Pete Smallbones' band of bad boy bird bearers
0:03:12 > 0:03:16have to round up, then move each and every flamingo one by one
0:03:16 > 0:03:19to their new home, all before the public arrive.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Geoffrey, what is all that hullabaloo over by Flamingo Lagoon?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It's called Duck Lagoon now.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27They're moving the flamingos.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Well, where are they moving them to?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I don't know, probably somewhere bigger and better.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34What? You mean someone has a bigger and better house than me?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, maybe, but so what?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38We've got everything we need here.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43A lovely climbing frame, a great big house, beautiful garden,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45food whenever we want it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47What do you mean, food whenever we want?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Oh.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- See?- Yes, Geoffrey.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Now shut up. If there is a bigger and better house in the zoo,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I am going to find it and I am going to live in it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Matthew, food, now!
0:04:04 > 0:04:05HE GRUNTS
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Stage one of the great flamingo move involves heralding the birds towards
0:04:13 > 0:04:14a tiny wooden shed.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Do you know who I am?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm calling my agent.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21While the team nonchalantly paddle towards the flamingos,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24a giant sheet is erected.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Keepers Pete and Ian then corral the flamingos
0:04:28 > 0:04:32into the shed with their special arm holdy-outy technique.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36We are stars, being herded like mere sheep!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Oh, what a performance!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Thank you, darling, thank you.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Finally, as the zoo's opening time creeps ever closer,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48all 52 flamingos are in the shed, ready and waiting for stage two...
0:04:49 > 0:04:54..the move, but the flamingos aren't the only ones leaving home.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I've been walking for ages.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I haven't seen any other bigger and better homes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Oh! Stupid, massive Gorilla Island.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Hold on. What's that?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08That looks nice.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Hello.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13- Hello.- Hello, hello?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Hi, I'm looking for a bigger and better place to live,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21and to be honest, your place looks pretty nice.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Oh, well, thank you very much.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Can you tell me what facilities are on offer?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Sorry, what?- Facilities.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33You know, like a bouncy castle, Jacuzzi,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36195-inch widescreen TV.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38No, we don't have any of that stuff.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40We've got lots of space, though.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Lots of nice shade, platforms to sit on.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45And I mean, the food is just lovely.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh! It all sounds very positive.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Any negatives?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Um... Well, I mean, obviously there's lions in here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59- Oh? And?- Well, we do sort of have a tendency to eat anything that moves.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Oh.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Including gorillas.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05OK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Thank you for your time anyway.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09OK, bye.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13The flamingos are now being moved one by one across the zoo.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Bye-bye, thanks for visiting Duck Lagoon.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18We haven't decided that yet, Angela.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20All right, Barry, stop making a fuss.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21This is totally undignified!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Being transported in a human's armpit!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh, look, a camera. Hello, darlings!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Hello.- I've been in nature films, you know.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'm available.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32How's it going, then, Pete?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Not bad. Although this one is biting.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40He's nibbling my...bum.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Hello again.- Hello. - Are you the director?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- No.- OK, lovely, let's do lunch.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Right. Well...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50with 20 minutes until the zoo opens,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Pete and his team have now moved half
0:06:52 > 0:06:54the flamingos to their new home.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Oh, hello, darling!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58But over on the enormous expanse that is Gorilla Island,
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Jurgen is still looking for somewhere bigger and better to live.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Wow, that place looks enormous!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09They even have their own mountain.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Yoo-hoo!
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Excuse me!
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Horse monkey.- Who are you calling "horse monkey", huh?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Sorry. Sorry.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22It's just you have got quite a long snout, like a horse.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24You ain't no oil painting yourself, buddy,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28in fact you are so ugly I can't tell if that's your head I'm looking at
0:07:28 > 0:07:29or your neck just threw up.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31That's really funny, that's really funny.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yes, whatever.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Listen, I would like to know what sort of facilities are on offer
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- on your mountain. - Yes, of course, sir.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44We got an infinity pool, free bananas all day every day,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48water slides, Jacuzzi... I mean, you name it, we've got it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Really!- No!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's basically a big rock full of monkeys throwing poop at each other
0:07:53 > 0:07:57and shouting a lot. How do you like them facilities? Huh?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's not really what I'm looking for, to be honest.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02OK, thanks.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04"Horse monkey!" Really!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08The bird team now only have a few more flamingos left to move,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11but as the zoo is about to open, time is of the essence.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16So they've brought in help from the zoo's rapid delivery system,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18a very slow miniature car.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh. Careful!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- THUD! - Exciting!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I think we're filming a chase scene.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Mind the...bins.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Let me direct you. Keep going back, back, back, yeah,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32you are absolutely fine, that's it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Yeah. THUD!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Apart from that...thing.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Sorry.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Ow! You just drove over my toe.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Anyway, with all the flamingos now safely on the way to their new home,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and the zoo now open for business,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51the rest of the birds on Duck or Pelican or
0:08:51 > 0:08:52even Goose Lagoon...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55We've settled on Goose, Duck, Pelican...
0:08:55 > 0:08:56And Seagull...
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Yes, Goose, Duck, Pelican, Seagull Lagoon.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04That rolls off the tongue. Well, whatever it's called,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07with the flamingos gone you can all sit back and enjoy
0:09:07 > 0:09:09the peace and quiet.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- JURGEN:- Yoo-hoo! Hello!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Oh, no!- Hi.- Hello.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I've been looking for somewhere bigger and better to live,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20and to be honest, I really like the look of your lagoon.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24It has a nice island, lots of trees.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Is the pelican included?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I'm not an ornament.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29I mean, it's not a deal-breaker.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Yes, I'll take it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Oh, no! Oh, hold on.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Actually, it looks like you've arrived just in time for dinner.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Excellent. What are we having?
0:09:41 > 0:09:47I hope you like seeds chucked into dirty pond water for dinner.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49What? No juicy tomatoes?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- No.- Or crunchy carrots?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- No.- Or crispy...?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58No, just seeds chucked into dirty pond water.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00That's all we eat, ever.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Are you still moving in?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03No, it sounds awful.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Bye.- Finally I've got the whole place to myself.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- Ourselves.- Yes, yes, Barry, ourselves, that's what I meant.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Ah! It's like the flamingos were never here.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20And cut!
0:10:20 > 0:10:26- FLAMINGOS: Hurrah!- I think it's going to be a box-office smash.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28So you're back, then?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Yeah.- Realised that maybe it ain't so bad here after all?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33- Yeah.- Fancy some dinner?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Yeah.- Here, Matthew, do the honours.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Matthew, you throw like a baboon. - MATTHEW:- I heard that!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, I think you've learned some valuable lessons today.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Hm.- But catching really ain't one of them.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Geoffrey.- Yes, boss?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Shut up.
