Look at the twinkling stars and shimmering planets,
all hanging there in an endless sky.
What a fascinating place space is.
There are things out there that are very strange, very mysterious.
Take that box for instance.
Whatever is a box like that doing floating around in space?
How did it get there?
Where did it come from?
What's inside?
CRASH!
Oh, the box has landed on the Clangers' planet.
And here are two Clangers, come to take a look.
Doo dee doo-doo?
What could it be?
Doo dee-doo.
Hm, a mysterious box...
Doo dee-doo?
Whoo.
..with curious things inside.
They're like little black pouches.
There must be something inside them,
something strange and exciting.
Oo-oo oo.
Oh, no, there isn't.
Doo-doo.
Oh, dear. What a disappointment.
FROGLET CROAKS
Hm.
FROGLET CROAKS
What's he doing?
Oh.
Oh!
How extraordinary.
Doo-doo, dee-do?
What...?
BOTH: Whoo!
Well, there seems to be more to these pieces of cloth
than meets the eye.
They're like... like, strange holes...
FROGLET CROAKS
TINY CLANGER LAUGHS
..and one hole leads to the other.
How extraordinary.
Dee-doo, dee-doo.
Doo doo-dee-doo-doo, dee doo-doo.
Small's wondering how far a Clanger can travel through these holes.
Doo-doo, dee-doo dee-doo.
They're going to do an experiment.
Tiny has taken one of the holes down to the living cave.
Dee-doo-ee-doo.
Dee-doo-oo.
Whoo!
It works! Dee-doo.
Yes, Tiny has discovered that a Clanger can travel
all the way down to the caves.
How wonderful.
Dee-doo dee-doo.
Major must know about this.
He loves new discoveries.
Dee doo dee-doo-doo.
They're telling him all about these amazing new holes
and how they've been experimenting with them.
Doo-doo. Dee-doo-doo. Doo doo dee doo-doo-doo.
Dee doo-oo.
Major doesn't have time to hear about their games.
He's too busy working.
He doesn't realise they have found something very special.
Doo doo-doo doo dee-doo.
Very well, they'll just experiment without Major Clanger.
Doo doo-dee-doo dee-doo.
Now, Small wants to see if the holes
can transport Clangers even further...
Whoo, whoo.
..through space!
Woooo!
Dee-doo.
JAUNTY NAUTICAL MUSIC
Small's gone up to the Iron Chicken's nest...
Bwuck.
Bwuch-bwuch-bwuch.
Doo-doo doo dee doo.
..and he wants her to put that strange hole in her nest.
Bwuch. Bwuch-bwuch-bwuch.
Well, all right then, if that's what Small wants.
Dee-doo.
Doo. Dee-doo. Doo-dee-doo.
Small is calling Tiny to come up to the nest.
Doo-doo-oo!
Bock-bock-bock!
Dee-doo-doo-doo. Bock-bock-bock-bock.
Bock-bock-bock-bock.
TINY AND SMALL CLANGER LAUGH
Look at that! The hole's even worked through space. Ha-ha!
How wonderful. It certainly gave the Iron Chicken a surprise.
Here's Mother. She's come up from her garden.
Dee-doo-oo?
FROGLET CROAKS
Oo-doo?
'Bock-bock-bock.'
Mother can hear the Iron Chicken.
Dee-doo. Doo-doo-dee-doo.
Dee-do.
'Bock. Bock-bock-bock'
BOTH: Ooo!
Hm. How very odd.
Oo?
Oo-oo?
Oo. Dee-doo.
And off they both go.
Oo, wee-oo.
Ah, bock-bock.
Doo-doo. Doo dee doo-doo.
Well, isn't this nice?
It's been ages since the Iron Chicken had so many visitors.
Time for a chat and a nice cup of tea.
CLANGERS AND IRON CHICKEN CHAT
Major Clanger has finished his important work.
He's made a new invention and he wants to tell everyone about it.
Oo-oo, doo doo doo-dee-doo-doo.
Oh, it's a polisher
to keep his armour nice and shiny.
BOING!
Oo.
Oh.
FROGLET CROAKS
Oo-oo. Doo-doo doo-doo?
Major wants to know where everyone is.
The place is deserted.
FROGLET CROAKS
Oo-oo oo?
Yes, they're all in there.
Oo-oo, dee-doo dee-doo.
Doo doo-dee doo?
Major doesn't believe the Froglet for one moment.
He thinks it's playing a cheeky trick on him.
They can't be inside the cloth.
Doo doo, doo-doo-dee-doo.
FROGLET CROAKS
Oo? Doo-dee doo?
Doo dee doo. Oo-oo.
FROGLET CROAKS
Oo! Oo-oo.
Major thinks the Froglet is trying to trick him again
and he's not going to fall for it. Not this time. Oh, no, not again.
FROGLET CROAKS
Oo-oo, oo-oo. Doo.
ALL: Doo-doo-oo!
Whoo!
Major can't believe his eyes.
Where did they all come from?
CLANGERS LAUGH
Doo-dee-doo?
Yes, Major, that piece of cloth really is a hole.
No-one believed it at first but they soon discovered it was true.
And here comes Small Clanger with the other hole.
Doo dee-doo-doo.
Fascinating, aren't they?
Doo doo-dee doo doo-doo?
Doo doo-doo.
Yes, Tiny and Small tried to tell Major about them
but he wouldn't listen.
Doo-doo.
Major's apologised for not listening to Tiny and Small...
Doo doo doo.
..and to the Froglet for not believing it.
Doo doo-dee-doo-doo? Dee doo, dee-doo-doo?
A-ha! Major's thought of an experiment of his own.
What happens if he puts one hole inside the other?
Oo-oo!
That's one thing Small and Tiny didn't try.
Whoo!
Ah.
FROGLET CROAKS
That's what happens.
Doo-doo. Doo-dee-doo.
Oh, well. Never mind.
Time for soup.
The universe is a funny old place,
full of things we can hardly begin to understand,
like those holes.
So, thank goodness for the simple things in life,
Like soup.
Goodbye.
ALL: Doo-doo.
