ALL: Yeah! Ha-ha!

Look for bed story.

No.

Oh. No!

Oh, no!

Hi, Drum.

What are you doing?

Drum try to find bedtime story.

A story? Well, you've got plenty of them there.

No.

Well, what sort of story are you looking for, Drum?

Story about the island.

Island?

Hmm, oh, that's a bit trickier.

I'm not sure we've got any stories about the island.

Oh.

Perhaps I could tell you a story.

A story about the island.

Ooh!

Oh, yes.

I know a good one.

Snuggle up with me and I'll tell you the story

of Gravel and Granite's quiet night in.

Ooh! Good story!

I hope so.

Once upon a time,

towards the end of the afternoon,

all was quiet on the island.

Oh, well, no coconut clock today.

Nothing for us to do.

We've played all the games we could think of.

Yes, your idea for a game of hopscotch

didn't quite do it for me.

Oh, were the rules too hard?

No, Gravel.

We can't hop.

Oh.

Oh, there really is nothing for us to do on days like this.

Oh. Well, perhaps we should just have a quiet night in.

A quiet night in?

Every night's a quiet night in.

That's all we ever do.

Oh. Well, here comes Todd.

Perhaps he can think of something for us to do.

Afternoon, gentlemen.

And how are we today?

BOTH: We're bored.

Ooh. Why's that, then?

We haven't got anything to do.

Well, I had an idea, but Granite didn't like it.

Oh. Well, erm, how about, I don't know,

a nice quiet night in?

Ooh, that's just what I said.

And a very good idea it is, too, Todd.

Do tell us more. He-he!

Well, erm, you could watch your favourite shows in the television.

Eat snacks, maybe invite some of your friends over.

Ooh! I like the sound of that.

Good, good.

Glad I could be of service.

Right, now, I'm off to have a well-deserved sleep.

Oh, just one thing.

Oh, yes?

Yes, about the night in front of the television.

Yes?

We'll need a television.

Ah. Yes.

Oh, I'm sure Todd can help us out with that.

Well, erm, I was hoping for a well-deserved sleep.

It rather ruins a quiet night in front of the television

if there's no television.

Yes, I see.

It does.

Well, erm, I think I have an idea where I can find one.

Let me just go and see.

So, forgetting about his well-deserved sleep for a moment,

Todd went to see the only person on the island

who could help him find a television.

DJ Loose!

# Hangin' loose

# With DJ Loose

# Hangin' loose

# I've got the grooves

# Hangin' loose

# With DJ Loose

# I can guide you where to

# When there's things you need to know

# If you've music to produce, call DJ Loose. #

I hope you're able to make that old TV work,

Toddles, old boy.

I'm sure it will be fine, dear fellow.

Well, it is very old,

so it will probably show very old programmes.

Well, erm, we'll just have to see.

The sooner I can get the Stones watching the television,

the sooner I can get back to my cave for a well-deserved sleep.

-Yes. Hup...

-Good luck.

Ooh, I can't wait! This is so exciting!

Yes, I must admit, even I'm looking forward to this.

Gentlemen, your television.

Oh, I'm thrilled!

Marvellous!

Are you all right, Todd?

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

It was a little heavier than I expected.

Now, let me just get a picture.

Erm, yes, right.

Oh, I hope it's my favourite show.

What is your favourite show?

Ooh, erm, well...

It's that time of the day when we like to say,

"It's Big Zing time!"

That's it! The Big Zing!

That's my favourite show!

Oh, well, then,

let's have a little look, shall we?

MUSIC

# Umm

# Umm

# Umm

# Umm

# This is our island home

# Let me help you settle in

# Umm

# Umm

# You can call the place your own

# Let the guided tour begin

# Up where the bananas grow

# There's a clubhouse in the trees

# Umm

# Todd lives in the cave below

# Taking care of all you see

# Fun, friends, sunshine

# Music, anytime

# I danced a tune

# Called to, do it live!

# Oh-oh-oh!

# Leading through the jungle vines

# Following the mighty groves

# By the shore you'll further find

# All the amazing Moaning Stones

# Finally, there's DJ Loose

# Playing music on the sand

# Serving every kind of juice

# It's best you can lend a hand

# Umm. #

Fantastic, Todd!

A triumph!

Now we can watch Big Zings all night!

Oh, good, good.

I'm glad you're happy.

Well, after all that television shifting, I'll be glad

to get home to my cave for a well-deserved sleep.

Ahem. Just one thing.

Yes?

If we're going to have our friends over

to watch Big Zings on our television,

we're going to need a sofa.

A sofa?!

-A sofa.

-Oh, yes, we'll need a sofa.

Oh, right(!)

I couldn't invite my friends over

-and not give them something to sit on.

-No.

Oh, right. I'll see what I can do.

Marvellous!

So, poor old Todd went back to his cave

to find a sofa for Gravel and Granite.

No sleep?

No, I think Todd was too busy to sleep.

Oh, poor Todd.

Oh, well, I hope the Stones will be happy with this...

HE STRAINS

..sofa.

It's the only one I have.

It's taking a very long time for our sofa to arrive.

Yes. I do wonder whether we should have gone with

another sofa delivery firm.

Todd is terribly slow.

Hmm.

Shall we watch another Big Zing?

Why not?

MUSIC

# Rehearsing together every time we meet

-# Drumming together

-to a brand-new beat

# Singing together on the Big Zing's fun

-# Playing together makes it

-twice as fun

# Sitting together with a meal to share

-# Standing together

-let's you know I care

# Dancing together so we move as one

-# Playing together makes it

-twice as fun

# Rehearsing together every time we meet

-# Drumming together

-to a brand-new beat

# Singing together when the Big Zing's on

# Playing together

# Playing together

# Playing together

# Makes it twice as fun! #

Ooh, I liked that one.

Yes, they just get better and better, don't they?

-Huh.

-Ah.

If only our friends could share these precious moments with us.

Well, we'll need that sofa first.

Yes, where has Todd got to?

PANTING

This isn't quite the, erm,

well-deserved sleep I was hoping for.

STRAINING

Where is that Todd?

I've got better things to do

than wait around all day for my sofa to be delivered.

Ooh!

I think I can hear something.

Phew... Your sofa.

Oh, wow!

About time.

Oh, erm, sorry about the delay.

I had a little trouble cornering in the jungle.

Well, never mind, Todd. It's here now.

That's the main thing.

Yes. And I think I've earned my well-deserved sleep.

Indeed, you have.

And you may have your well-deserved sleep,

as soon as you've got the snacks.

Eh? Snacks?

-Snacks.

-Snacks.

Popcorn. Popcorn.

I love popcorn.

Oh...

Popcorn?

Right(!)

So, Todd went to the only place on the island

where he knew he'd be able to find some popcorn.

Coconut Hut!

# The Coconut Hut is fabulous

# The Coconut Hut is marvellous

# Day or night, it's always right

# Never shut, it's the Coconut Hut! #

Ooh, I thought it was never shut.

Hello? Anybody home?

# The coconut hut is closed. #

Well, yes, I know, but I have an emergency.

# Sorry, we're closed. #

Oh, dear.

I really need some popcorn.

ALL: Popcorn?

# Are you having a party? #

Well, actually, it's Granite and Gravel's.

# Are we invited? #

Well, you are very good friends of Granite and Gravel.

I'm sure that if you could make a little popcorn,

they'd be very happy to invite you.

It's just a shame that, erm, you're closed.

# Not any more! #

# We're open! #

Hoo-rah!

And so, the Beach Byrds made popcorn for Todd.

Lots of popcorn?

Ho-ho. Lots and lots and lots of popcorn!

FIZZING AND BLEEPING

I think, erm...

Hello?! I think I have enough now!

# We can't find the off switch. #

# Argh! #

Try pressing the red button.

NOISE DIES AWAY

# Argh! #

Right, well, eh, thank you.

I'll be off, then.

THEY LAUGH WITH RELIEF

Shall we watch another Big Zing, Granite?

Without popcorn?!

I don't think so.

Your popcorn.

Oh, wow!

Marvellous! Just in time.

Have a seat and watch a Big Zing with us.

You look worn out.

Busy day?

Just a bit(!)

Oh, why don't you watch television with us?

-Would you?

-What?

Oh, of course.

DRUMMING

Hai!

Yissa!

# Let me tell you all about the noises

# If you want to pound the only choice is

# Beating on the drum

# Beating on the drum

# Beating loud and proudly on the big drum

Ohh! Woo-hoo-hoo!

# When the sound bounces all around

# Till the noise surrounds all the gang

# It's so fine at this heart of minds

# Beating all the time

# To that bang, bang, bang!

# The energy of the island all about it

# Echoes all around me when you shout it

# Beating on the drum

# Beating on the drum

# Beating loud and proudly on the big drum. #

Oh, marvellous!

Huzzah! Huzzah!

This is a very good channel, isn't it?

Oh, it really is.

Huzzah!

I wonder when our friends are going to arrive?

I really have no idea.

Oh, what time did you arrange for our guests to be here, Todd?

Er...me?

I didn't arrange anything.

All I've been doing all day

is trying to have a well-deserved sleep.

No guests?

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Perhaps I can be of some service?

BOTH: DJ Loose!

Well, hello.

Hello. What you needs to make this party swing is a few Beach Byrds.

BOTH: Hurrah!

# Well, hello! #

Yeah! Now we've got a television.

-A sofa.

-Some popcorn.

And our very good friends.

It's time to par-t-y-y-y!

So, let's hear another Big Zing, Todd. Todd?

SNORING

Sshh!

Oh, well, now.

That looks like someone who's having a well-deserved sleep.

Perhaps we should watch a quiet Big Zing that won't disturb him, DJ.

That's a very good idea, Mr Gravel.

One quiet Big Zing coming right up.

# Drift away

# Into sleep

# With those dreams

# That you keep

# So safe, in the night

# Till daylight

# Comes

# Dream a little sea breeze

# Dream a little sea breeze

# Whispers through the palm trees

# Whispers through the palm trees

# Seagulls in the sunshine

# Seagulls in the sunshine

# Sailing off to bedtime

# Sailing off to bedtime

# Drift away

# Into sleep

# With those dreams that you keep

# So safe, in the night

# Till daylight

# Comes

# Drift away

# Drift away. #

The Big Zing was so lovely, that soon after it had finished

everybody fell asleep.

Granite, look.

Hmm?

Everyone's asleep.

Oh, I suppose that's what happens at the end of a quiet night in.

I really, really enjoyed it.

So have I, Gravel.

So have I.

SNORING

And with that, the Stones closed their eyes.

And when the Stones close their eyes,

the whole island falls into a deep, deep sleep.

Just like you, Drum.

SNORING

And you two, as well.

I suppose I should go to sleep, too.

Goodnight, everyone,

everywhere.
