0:00:04 > 0:00:08THEY SCAT
0:00:11 > 0:00:14THEY HARMONISE
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Shut up.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- Morning, Duchess!- Morning!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36It's Monday morning at the zoo, and the keepers are preparing for
0:00:36 > 0:00:41yet another day amongst the elegance and natural beauty of nature.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Dave! Stop scratching your bottom, it's disgusting.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47HE BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Yes. Thank you, David.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Getting around is an important daily part of daily life at the zoo,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and all the animals do it differently.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Uhh-oh-ooh!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Some use four legs...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Others use two. Orang-utans use their arms.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Fur seals use their tummies.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And baboons... Well, they use other baboons.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Giddy up, horsey, giddy up! - Don't talk to your mother like that!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hmm. That looks quite fun, actually. Anyway, where was I?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Kangaroos, on the other hand, have a
0:01:18 > 0:01:21completely unique way of getting from A to B.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Is it now?- Yeah, now. Go on. Come on, we're filming.- Wahoo!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Kangaroos get around by hopping.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30But all is not well with our Australian friends,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and vet Christa has come to take a closer look.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- Because Topaz, the kangaroo, has got a problem.- She can't hop.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42So she shuffles, rather than hops, which,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44for a kangaroo, is not very good.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46So what's the, er, plan, then?
0:01:47 > 0:01:53- Oh.- We keep an eye on her.- Good. Excellent, er, vetting.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I don't know what all this fuss is about, I'm absolutely fine,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I'm tip-top, I'm fit as a flea.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Barbara! Have you seen Topaz? She looks terrible.- I know.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I had an uncle who lost his hop once.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09It's a terrible disease, they called it Uncle Nigel's hoppity-stop-hop.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11W-w-what happens?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14He had to walk on his hands for the rest of his life.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Hashtag, devastating.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Seriously?- Seriously, Muriel.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20It starts in your legs, then it ends up in your face.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Then all your hair falls out. Uncle Nigel, he was never the same again.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Totally ruined Christmas dot com.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28That is total rubbish Barbara, I don't have the
0:02:28 > 0:02:31hoppity-skoppity-bop-hop or whatever your weird uncle had.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- I can hop any time I like. - Well, go on, then.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Fine, I will. Watch me.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38THUMP
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh. Oh, dear.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44While Christa considers how best to mend our
0:02:44 > 0:02:47malfunctioning marsupial, over on Gorilla Island,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51silverback Jurgen is also starting to feel a bit unwell.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- There is absolutely nothing wrong with him.- Yes, there is!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57This happens every single time any of the other animals get any
0:02:57 > 0:02:58attention from the vet.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I am ill. I have a sniffle.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01HE SNIFFS
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I think it's Uncle Nigel's hoppity-blobbity-hop-stop-blop.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Jurgen! You never had a hop. You're a gorilla. Gorilla's don't hop.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Yes, but look at my feet! The hair's fallen out.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You never had any hair on the bottom of your feet.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16I want a second opinion.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Dave?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19HE BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Oh, shut up.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Back in the kangaroo enclosure, and vet Christa
0:03:24 > 0:03:27has come up with a plan. And it involves a gun!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- That's a bit extreme, isn't it? Oh, that's not a real gun, is it?- No.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- It's a tranquiliser gun, isn't it? - Yep.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- So you're not going to?- No. - You're just going to, er...- Yeah.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Yeah, I knew that. - Right, where is she?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Oh, yeah, yep, yeah, I've seen this all before.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44This is exactly what happened with Uncle Nigel
0:03:44 > 0:03:48and his hoppity-stop-hop. They shot him too, it was so tragic.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Hashtag put her out of her misery.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Nah, I think they're just sedating her
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- so they can have a look at her legs. - No, they're definitely shooting her.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57They've got to get it before it spreads dot com.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- You mean, it's contagious? - Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I mean, have you checked your hop recently, Muriel, have you?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04No, I have not!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09With the gun loaded and Topaz safely inside the shed,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Christa moves into position.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Here we go. - Hi, Christa, I like your hair today.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19What's that in your hand? Ooh, that's not a...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Ow, ow!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Oh, macaroni! Argh... fluffy rainbows.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28THUD, SHE SNORES
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Nee-na nee-na nee-na... - AS Topaz is taken off to hospital...
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Nee-na nee-na nee-na...- Wait, can you stop doing that?- OK! Ha-ha.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Sorry!- Thank you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39So, as Topaz is taken off to hospital,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Jurgen's case of Uncle John's gibbity-boppity-flibbity,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46hoppity-boppity-thing seems to be getting worse.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Oh! My eyes have gone all puffy! - There's nothing wrong with you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Apart from maybe a case of attention-seekeritis.- Jeffrey!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Wait... Is that a real illness?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, as real as hoppity-bop-stop, or whatever that is.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02HE SNIFFS
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Oh, and my breath smells awful!
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- No change there, then.- Ugh! I need you guys to take this seriously.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12OK, OK, OK, so like, tell us your symptoms again.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Oh, OK, OK, so...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I hate you, Dave.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35In the vet centre, using a combination of voodoo
0:05:35 > 0:05:41and medical science, Christa and her team begin the operation.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43But first, they need to shave her back.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The kangaroo, that is, not Christa.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49She doesn't need it, that would be weird.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52But back in the enclosure, Uncle Bonzo's
0:05:52 > 0:05:56shibbity-stoppity-doo-wop-doo-bop seems to be spreading.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00HE BELCHES
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Look, Muriel, Shane's got it now. That is a classic symptom.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Hashtag panic, Muriel. Panic.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Seriously? I think he's just a bit of a pig.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13All right, that's enough now, Shane.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16You mark my words, Muriel, we'll all be hopless by tomorrow.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- You've got to get yourself checked. - I am.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- What's my hop looking like, Doc? - Well, I can't see anything.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Oh, great!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26No, I mean, I can't actually see anything.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- It's totally pitch-black down here. - Oh!
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- You are definitely a real doctor, yeah?- Er....
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Yes...
0:06:39 > 0:06:42After some voodoo chanting and some medical scanning,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Dr Christa has finally discovered
0:06:44 > 0:06:46the cause of the lost hop.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50So, a kangaroo kick can do quite a lot of damage,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and that's what we think happened to this kangaroo.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Barbs, Barbs, do you hear that?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It wasn't Uncle Nigel's hippity-hoppity-skoppity
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- skip-skop-stop after all. - Yeah, well, I'm still not convinced.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- I mean, what does that woman know anyway?- You mean, the vet?- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- With her X-rays?- Yeah.- And the scans?- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- And her seven years of medical training?- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- And her 14 years of professional... - That's enough now, Muriel!
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Barbara? Did you kick Topaz?- No! Well... Maybe just a little bit.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Barbara!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Now that they know how it happened, it's a race against time to see
0:07:27 > 0:07:31if the team can finally restore Topaz's lost hop.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34All Christa can do now is wait.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37She needs to be patient about her patient.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40But over on the island,
0:07:40 > 0:07:45our pretend patient is causing Jeffrey to lose patience.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- You are not sick!- I AM sick!
0:07:48 > 0:07:53I'm sick to death of your lack of respect, JEFFREY!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57And you, Dave. And stop scratching your bottom hole.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58It's a filthy habit.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00But it's so itchy, man!
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Right. What colour is my back? - BOTH: Silver.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- And what colour are your backs? - BOTH: Not silver.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So who is the boss?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- BOTH: You.- So, let's try not to forget that, huh?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18A little bit of respect for the boss, hmm?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19All right, look,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23me and Dave have got you a bunch of flowers to say, "Get well soon."
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Hmm, yes, that's more like it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Dave, you are holding the flowers with the same hand you were
0:08:28 > 0:08:30scratching your butt with.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Oh, yeah! Sorry. Oh! It smells of poo now.- Yes. Well, it would.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Do you, like, still want it?- No.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- No, I don't.- Oh! I think I've got some poo in my hair, too.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Oh, it's gone everywhere! - And you wonder why I feel sick.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, poo everywhere, it's totally gross!
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Topaz has now woken up, and vet Christa has come to see
0:08:55 > 0:08:58if the operation was a success.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Hashtag gross. Look! I told you her hair has totally fallen out,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- it is definitely Uncle Nigel's... - Oh, zip it, Barbara!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Muriel, have I got a bald patch?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Oh, it's only tiny, you can barely see it, to be honest.- Hi, Topaz!
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- Argh! What the hoo-ha's happened to your hair?- Zip it, Bronwyn.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- And, Barbara, are you going to say sorry to Topaz?- What for?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22For kicking her! And for lying about it.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25And for making up all of this rubbish about your Uncle's
0:09:25 > 0:09:27hippity-hoppity-lollipoppity stoppity-hop!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oh, that.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Yeah. Hashtag... I'm really sorry, Topaz.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Oh, Barbara, don't worry about it. I actually feel much better now.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It's the moment of truth.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Has the doc's op unlocked the stopped hop?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- There she is. Ooh-ooh, hopping! - Woohoo! Look at me go! Woohoo!
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- She's hopping. Yep.- I can't believe it! Gosh, I feel so free!
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- Oh, macaroni!- Very short hops, but she's hopping.- Ha-ha-ha!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00With the hop safely returned,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04and with Uncle Stevo's beep-bop-aloo-bop a-wham-bam-boo
0:10:04 > 0:10:07shown to be a load of old rubbish, hopefully Jurgen has....
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Oh, I've got this weird tingling in my ear lobes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Is he still pretending he's ill? - Yep.- Argh! I've gone blind!
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Oh, no, it was just my fingers in my eyes. Oh! We have to call Christa.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Don't worry. Dave said she's on her way.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Yeah, dude, she's on her way over now.- Excellent.- With her gun.- What?
0:10:26 > 0:10:27- And her hair-shavers.- What?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's cool, she'll probably just want to shoot you,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32and then shave you to find out what's wrong.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Oh! Actually, I sort of, erm, I feel a lot better, actually.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Oh, look, there she is!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- What?!- She's taking aim.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Argh! Get out of my way, I'm coming through, argh! ARGHH!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48He totally fell for that!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Well, that...is embarrassing.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Shut up.
