Here's planet Earth.
It's a big place, isn't it?
For us, it can feel enormous.
So big, in fact,
that sometimes it can be a difficult place to find our way around.
And, perhaps, there are other places out there in space
which, like our Earth, can be, well,
a bit of a puzzle.
Ah. But not here.
This small, blue place is the Clangers' planet,
and the Clangers know their way around it very well indeed.
Ah, there are the Clangers.
It looks like they're waiting to go somewhere. Ooo-o-o-oo-ooo?
Ooo-ooo!
Woo-ooo?
Woo-o-ooo-oo...
Oh, they're off to visit the Iron Chicken for tea.
And they're late.
Woo. Doo-ooo.
I think Major Clanger had forgotten all about it.
That's a lot of Clangers for the Music Boat.
I hope it can manage.
Woo-woo.
Do-ooo!
What's that?
A mysterious planet they've never seen before.
Woo-o-oo-oo, woooo-o-o-o-o-oo.
Doo-ooo. Do-oo-oo-o-ooo.
Mother's not sure about going somewhere else.
They're late for tea, remember?
Do-oooo. Doo-o-oo-ooo.
But Major wants a quick look.
What an extraordinary thing!
ALL: Ooooo!
Wooo-o-oo-o-oo-o-ooo-oooo.
Major wants to investigate.
Ooo-o-o-ooo.
And Tiny too.
Doo-oo-ooo. Do-ooo-o.
Mother Clanger's right - they're going to be very late indeed.
What will the Iron Chicken say?
Do-oo-o-ooo?
No, not Small too. Woo-o-oo.
Mother wants Small to stay with her.
They can wait for Major and Tiny together.
Oooo.
Do-oo-oooo!
Mother's telling them not to be long.
BOTH: Woo-oooo!
What a curious place this is.
Wooo. Woo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo.
Doo-oo-o-oo-oo.
Hmmm.
Is that a good idea?
BOTH: Oooo!
Do-ooo.
It looks like Major finds this place absolutely fascinating.
Well, I never!
That's something you don't see every day.
Oooo... Woo-ooo-oooo-ooooo!
And now they're the right way up again.
Very odd.
THEY LAUGH
Woo-oo woo-oo.
Doo-oo, doo-o-o-oo-ooo.
Yes, Major Clanger.
I think it's time you went back, too.
Woo. Do-ooo-oooo.
Oh.
That hole they came in through no longer seems to be there.
That can't be right.
Oh, dear.
I think they're a bit lost.
Wooo. Woo-o-o-oo-oo-ooo-o-o.
Mother Clanger is tired of waiting.
She's going off to look for them.
Ooo-oo-oooo.
And Small's coming too.
Hmmm.
Mother THINKS this is where Major went.
'Oo-ooo. Ooo-ooo.'
Do-ooo. Do-oooo.
Woo-ooo!
Doo-oooo!
BOTH: Woooo!
Ah, now they're reunited.
Thank goodness for that.
Wooo. Doo-oo-o-oo-oo-ooo?
Now, which way to go?
Doo-ooo. Wooo. Mother thinks it's this way.
Do-o-oo. Small thinks it's that way.
Woo-ooo? Oh, dear.
Nobody knows which way. Woooo-oooo!
Now they're all lost.
But at least they're all together.
What a puzzle this place is.
Look! There's a Sky Moo,
and she's seen the empty Music Boat.
Moooooo...
Doo-o-ooo-ooo.
ALL: Doo-ooo! Doo-ooo!
'Doo-ooo!'
Moooooo...
The Sky Moo's heard the Clangers.
Oh!
She's flying away.
Moooooo...
Ah, she's gone to get help.
'Moooooo...' Wooo!
That's woken Granny Clanger up! 'Moooooo...'
Here we are, back at that strange planet.
And here's the Sky Moo again, with Granny.
DISTANT WHISTLING
Moooooo...
I hope Granny doesn't wander off.
She'll get lost too.
Woo-ooo.
'Woo-ooo.'
Doo-ooo?
BOTH: Woo! Doo!
'Woo! Doo!'
Ah...
I think Granny has a plan.
Ooo-oo!
ALL: Ooo-oo, ooo-oo!
'Ooo-oo, ooo-oo!'
Ooo-oo!
'Ooo-oo, ooo-oo!'
'Ooo-oo!'
Ooo-oo!
ALL: Ooo-oo?
Woo-o-o-oo doo?
BOTH: Ooo-oo!
Woo-o-oo-o-oo, ooo-oo, do-oo-o-oo-ooo.
Major's delighted to see Granny,
but now she's lost too!
Doo-oo-ooo!
Ah, clever Granny!
She's left a trail of wool behind her,
so they can find their way out again.
ALL: Woo-oooo!
Hurrah! Woo-oooo!
They've found their way out at last!
Woo-oooo! Woo-oooo!
There's the Iron Chicken.
She looks a bit sorry for herself.
Baau-ba-ba-baauh!
She's wondering where everyone is.
Woo-oo, doo-o-oo.
Ah! Baau-ba!
Here they are at last.
Doo-o-o-oo-oooo. Mother's sorry for being so late.
Ba-ba-bauh. Ba-baa-ba-ba-baauh?
The Iron Chicken says that's OK,
but where have they been?
She was a bit puzzled.
THEY LAUGH
Do-oo-o-oo-ooo!
That's right, Major - you've been puzzled too.
'Woo-oo.'
Aauh?
Here comes Granny.
What a lovely surprise for the Iron Chicken.
Bau-ba-a-baauh. Ba-ba-ba-a-baaauh.
Woo-oo doo-o-oo-o. Doo-oo-o-ooo-oo-o-oooo.
Baauh.
Mother says she'll tell the Iron Chicken all about it,
over a nice cup of tea.
Woo-o-oo-ooo.
Well, it wasn't such a good idea
for the Clangers to wander off like that.
Thank goodness for Granny Clanger
and her clever idea to use her ball of wool.
Moooooo...
Oh, yes!
And thank you to the very helpful Sky Moo too.
ALL: Doo-ooo!
