0:00:02 > 0:00:05THEY BEATBOX
0:00:05 > 0:00:07THEY SCAT
0:00:12 > 0:00:14THEY HARMONISE
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Shut up.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35It's Monday morning at the zoo.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Where some of the most elegant and beautiful examples
0:00:38 > 0:00:40of the natural world can be found.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Oh, thank you very much. Very kind. Hm.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I was actually talking about the birds.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47What? Birds?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49How very dull.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51What can a bird do that I can't do?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- You mean apart from fly? - No-one was asking you, Geoffrey.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- And lay eggs.- Geoffrey?- Yes, boss?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Shut up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03There are 129 species of birds at the zoo.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07And many of them live in and around Flamingo Lagoon...
0:01:07 > 0:01:10INDISTINCT CHATTER ..a beautiful, tranquil place.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Never break in like that, you overgrown sparrow!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Like this?- No!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Excuse me...- What?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19You two, you know you don't need to break in through the fence.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21You could just fly over with your wings.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Oh, yeah. Good point.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Yeah, good point.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Well, get on with it, then, Sid.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30THEY STRUGGLE Right, where was I?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34It's a beautiful, tranquil, watery haven.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37But recently, rumours have begun to surface that there
0:01:37 > 0:01:40are monsters lurking in the lagoon.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And the source of these rumours is senior head keeper of birds,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Mr Pete Smallbones.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50No, that's actually his name.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Sometimes you'll feel them.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Like I say, you can almost feel them around your feet.- Oh.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Other times, you kind of almost get
0:01:56 > 0:02:00the Loch Ness Monster kind of breaking of the water from the body.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02But there's a problem - you see,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05not everybody at the zoo believes the stories.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Mark.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Mark, have you heard about Pete's monsters?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Pete Smallbones?- Yeah.- Yeah, I wouldn't take any notice
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- of what Pete says, to be honest. - Oh.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17- Hi, Chas.- Hi.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- You all right?- I'm good, thanks.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Great.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Have you heard about Pete's monsters?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- I have heard about them. - Well, what have you heard?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27I've heard that they're there.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Do you think he's going to find them?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- I don't think he is.- Clearly.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Pete Smallbones, totally off his rocker.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Yeah, Gaz, totally off his rocker. - Yeah, all right, Sid.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Back to work.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40THEY STRUGGLE
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I think the rest of the zoo were certainly sceptical, to say the
0:02:44 > 0:02:48least, but the monsters of Flamingo Lagoon, they're definitely here.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- And how often have you seen them? - I think there's two just over there.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Where? Oh. Is that...?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Pete? They're ducks.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Actually, they're white-faced whistling ducks to be specific.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- I'm going to check. - No, they're definitely ducks.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Hold on. Aren't you supposed to be head of birds?- Yeah.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- You should know this stuff. - Yeah.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Meanwhile, rumours of the monsters of...
0:03:09 > 0:03:12LOUD AND ECHOING: ..Flamingo Lagoon...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- ..are spreading through the zoo. - Oh, Jimmy.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Have you heard? There's monsters in the water.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Man, what you talking about? Oh.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Wait a minute. I feel something.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I told you, Jimmy. Quick, out of the water, Jimmy!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Oh, here comes the monster! - I can't look!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28JIMMY BREAKS WIND LOUDLY
0:03:32 > 0:03:34That really was a monster.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Man, you're one dirty tortoise.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You are one dirty tortoise.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44But over on Gorilla Island, Jurgen is...
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Hold on, where is he?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47He's...in there.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- What's he doing in there? - He's refusing to come out.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- He says it's for his own safety. - What?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Sh-h-h! There is a monster in the loose.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Oh, not you lot as well. Where?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00By the climbing frame.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Look.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Oh. Oh, that's not a monster.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It appears to be some kind of fluffy rodent.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08That's what I told him.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10It's actually called a marmot.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's basically a massive squirrel.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- JURGEN GASPS - What?! A squirrel?
0:04:14 > 0:04:15- I've heard they're deadly.- Deadly?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Erm, not really.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20JURGEN GASPS
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Geoffrey, it's looking at me!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Right, I think I'll just leave you boys to it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Back at... LOUD AND ECHOING: ..Flamingo Lagoon...
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Keeper Pete has a foolproof plan to prove the existence of his monsters.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So, what is it, then?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Got a waterproof camera on the end of this pole,
0:04:41 > 0:04:46and what I'm hoping to do is get some footage of our monsters.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Right, well, good luck.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Yeah, good luck with that, mate.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54He's totally lost his marbles.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Eh, Sid? Sid?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Oi, where's Sid gone?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Sid?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Meanwhile, Pete continues his search.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05- Found anything yet, Pete?- No.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- I can't see anything at the minute. - Ah, funny that.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12While there appears to be no monsters in...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14LOUD AND ECHOING: ..Flamingo Lagoon...
0:05:14 > 0:05:15over on...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18LOUD AND ECHOING: ..Gorilla Island... Oh, no.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Hang on, that one is just Gorilla Island. Sorry.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Over on Gorilla Island,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Jurgen's monster invasion shows no signs of imprisoning.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27The situation has got worse.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31The tiny monster has brought reinforcements.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35That ain't reinforcements, that is a rabbit.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37A rabbit?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40You mean the monsters with the deadly poisonous saliva?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Erm, no.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- You're thinking of a Komodo dragon. - Yes, Geoffrey.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46That's it. A Komodo rabbit.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Erm, no, Jurgen.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51No.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Sid!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Sid! Sid!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- It's like the Loch Ness Monster, isn't it?- No.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Or Jaws.- No, it's not, Pete.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It's nothing like that, really.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Do you not think it's time you gave up on the whole monster thing, Pete?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05I'm not so sure, my friend.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I can't find Sid anywhere.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09What if he's been eaten by the monsters?!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Well, what's he look like? - Well, he looks just like me.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Maybe not as good looking, but, you know -
0:06:14 > 0:06:16yellow beak, white feathers.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19What, just like that white feather that's floating suspiciously
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- on the lagoon that's supposed to be full of monsters?- Yeah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Just like that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Sid! He's been eaten by the monsters!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29They're real! The monsters are real!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32And it seems that Gaz isn't the only convert to Peter's monster theory.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Sam, you've actually seen some down here just along the water's edge?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I've actually seen some down here, just along the water's edge.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40That's what I said.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42So, can you show me where you've seen them?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45This is unexpected. I thought Pete was making this up.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I actually came to get some water out one day,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- and there was one swimming along the edge of the bank.- Wow.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51What did it look like?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I only saw a flash of it, but they're very long.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Well, what colour was it?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Sort of a greenie grey.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I have filmed them once.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I filmed them when I was over feeding the flamingos.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Really? Well, let's see it, then.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Wow, this is exciting. I'm actually a bit nervous.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Proof. Proof that there are actually monsters.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I can't wait. I cannot wait!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13What was that it, then?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Yeah.- It's hardly Godzilla, is it?- No.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- No, I've made bigger ripples in the bath.- No.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I have. Anyway, it seems that maybe the rumoured
0:07:22 > 0:07:25monsters of the lagoon might well exist.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh, Sid, you were like a brother to me.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Not favourite brother, of course.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33But a brother nonetheless.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36But thankfully the monsters over on Gorilla Island
0:07:36 > 0:07:37are nowhere to be seen.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Geoffrey?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Have they gone?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Yes, the coast is clear.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47No killer rabbits or bloodthirsty squirrels to be seen.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Dave, is he telling the truth?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh, yeah, yeah. No squirrels.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Can't see any rabbits, but...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Oh, my gosh.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- What's that?- What?!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Oh, dude, it's huge!
0:07:59 > 0:08:00And hairy.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- And it's looking right at me! - What is it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I think...
0:08:05 > 0:08:07it's a gorilla.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Dave, it's me - Geoffrey.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- We're all gorillas. - Oh, yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Yeah, it's just Geoffrey.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Coast clear, dude.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17OK, I'm coming out.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20HE WHIMPERS
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Here, Jurgen, why are you so scared of small fluffy animals?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY - Who's scared?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I'm not scared.- Hey, guys.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Has anyone seen a big squirrel and a rabbit round here?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I borrowed them from the petting zoo.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh, they were yours, where they?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- What did you borrow them for? - Well, like pets, I guess.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Yeah, fair point.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Anyhoo, if you do see them,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47can you send them my way?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I don't want Jurgen freaking out.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50JURGEN GROWLS
0:08:50 > 0:08:53He's been petrified of tiny creatures
0:08:53 > 0:08:56ever since he got beaten up by a hamster when he was just a boy.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- A hamster?! - HE SNIGGERS
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Shut up. It was actually quite traumatic.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It was a very big hamster.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05DAVE LAUGHS
0:09:05 > 0:09:07You'd better not be laughing, Dave.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Geoffrey?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Shut up, both of you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Beaten up by a hamster!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15That's a good one.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Well, that's one monster mystery solved, but over in...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21LOUD AND ECHOING: ..Flamingo Lagoon...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23There was movement here, literally.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Oh, come on, Pete.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Ooh.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I think something just touched my leg. Oh!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I have seen them prey on flesh, so if you go down...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- What?- It might latch onto your neck.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36All right, Pete. That's enough.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Oh, he's rubbing against the camera. - Right,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm getting out of here. Argh!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's going to kill me, Pete! What is that?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46What is that? What is that?!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Eels.- What, eels?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yeah. These guys are European eels.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Well, ooh-la-la.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I don't give a monkeys where they come from, Pete.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You said they were monsters.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Well, sometimes you have to make your own amusement, don't you, so.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01No, Pete. No, you don't. But if there's no monster...
0:10:01 > 0:10:02then what happened to...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04GAZ SOBS
0:10:04 > 0:10:09We are gathered here today to talk about Sid. Sid was a mate.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Not a best mate, of course, but a mate nonetheless.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I'm going to miss his ugly little face.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Ugly little face, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19And revolting personality.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Revolting personality, yeah.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23And his terrible sense of humour.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Wait, what, Sid?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- I thought you'd been eaten?! - What?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, I ain't. I've just been for a poo. A big one.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Queue was massive.- Oh, right.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I mean, not I was bothered or nothing.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Why are your eyes all watery? Have you been crying?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39No, it's...hayfever.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Anyway, shut your beak and help me break in.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I can't believe you lot actually believed there were
0:10:46 > 0:10:49monsters in the lagoon.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Wait a minute, what's that? What's that?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Argh!
