Transcript

00:01Somewhere, hidden amongst thorny brambles,

00:05is a little kingdom of elves and fairies.

00:10Everyone who lives here is very, very small.

00:15I'm Ben Elf.

00:18And I'm Princess Holly.

00:22Come on, let's play!

00:24Wait for us!

00:30Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom

00:37Today's adventure starts at the little castle.

00:44Books!

00:47But the witch had eaten too much cake and fallen asleep.

00:52So the fairy tiptoed past the sleeping cat, waved her wand,

00:57Abracadoo! Abracadie!

01:00Unfreeze the children and set them all free!

01:03And in a flash, the witch's spell was undone.

01:07As the sun came up and the stars went away,

01:11all of the children found themselves safely back in their beds.

01:15The End

01:16Mummy, why did the witch freeze all the children?

01:20Oh, I don't know.

01:23Maybe the witch didn't like the noise the children made

01:25and just happened to know a spell for freezing them.

01:28Yes, thank you Nanny Plum.

01:31Not eating for a year and a day must have made the children very hungry.

01:37No!

01:38The witch had frozen them solid, like frozen peas.

01:42Now frozen peas don't get hungry, do they?

01:45No!

01:47Queen Thistle, where do the stars go in the daytime?

01:50I'm sorry, Ben.

01:52You said the sun came up and the stars went away.

01:56But where did the stars go?

01:58Er, well, let's see what the book says.

02:02Hmm, it doesn't say where the stars went.

02:06Nanny Plum, do you know where the stars go in the daytime?

02:11Er, no.

02:14Perhaps we should ask King Thistle.

02:17He knows how the world works.

02:20Yes, let's go and ask Daddy.

02:28Henry.

02:34Enter!

02:36Daddy, Daddy, can we ask you a question?

02:40Yes, of course, Holly.

02:41What is it?

02:43Can you tell us where the stars go in the daytime?

02:47What?

02:49Where do the stars go when the sun comes up?

02:51Well, they go, yes, they go.

02:54Er, I'm actually rather busy at the moment, Holly.

02:56Our storybook said the stars went away

02:59But it didn't say where they went

03:02Oh, I see. Well...

03:05There are plenty of books in the Royal Library

03:08One of them might have the answer

03:11Good idea, Queen Thistle! Come on, everyone!

03:17Wow! It's very untidy in here

03:20That's because these are magic books

03:23You are very naughty books

03:26Flying about and fidgeting

03:28Choc-choc, go sort yourselves out

03:32ABC, neatly, please

03:37How do we find what we're looking for?

03:39These are magic books

03:41You just ask them

03:43Excuse me, books

03:45Where do the stars go in the daytime?

03:50Do you have anything about stars?

03:52At all?

03:57Ooh! Look at all the fancy writing

04:01What does it say?

04:03Has it got the answer?

04:05It says

04:06Little star, we ask you

04:09To make our wishes all come true

04:12Oh, it's just a spell for wishing on a star

04:16Oh, I think these magic books are only for making spells

04:21Not for answering questions

04:23But Nanny, why don't you know the answer?

04:27I'm Nanny Plum, not an astrophysicist

04:31Astrophysicist? What's that?

04:34Oh, it's just someone who knows a lot about stars and space and things

04:39Elves know a lot about things? We can ask my mum and dad

04:45Are your mum and dad astrophysicists?

04:48Er, maybe? Let's go and see

04:51Hello!

04:52My goodness!

04:53Mum, dad, are you astrophysicists?

04:55No, we're elves!

04:56Do you know where the stars go in the daytime?

04:59Er, no!

05:00Nobody knows the answer

05:02Maybe we could ask the wise old elf

05:03Yes, he's wise, he's old and he's an elf

05:08No, we're elves

05:10Do you know where the stars go in the daytime?

05:16Er, no

05:17Nobody knows the answer

05:20Maybe we could ask the wise old elf

05:23Yes, he's wise, he's old

05:27And he's an elf

05:29This is the wise old elf's study

05:39Where he thinks about things and is wise and stuff

05:43Enter

05:46Hello

05:48Good afternoon, everybody

05:50How can I help you?

05:53Wise old elf, we have a question

05:56The answer wasn't in our storybook

05:58It's an elf question, not really a fairy matter

06:02So we thought, as you are the wise old elf

06:06Yes, of course

06:08Ask me any question, anything at all

06:12Ahem, where do the stars go in the daytime?

06:19Er, ask me another question

06:22On sport, perhaps

06:24You're not really wise, are you?

06:28You're just old

06:29So, old elf

06:31You don't know the answer?

06:33Er, no

06:35But I do know where to find it

06:38Where?

06:39Follow me

06:41Is it far?

06:44All of this searching for answers has made me a bit tired

06:47We can take the lift

06:49Mind the doors

06:57Mind the doors, please

06:58Where are we going?

07:03We are going to the great elf library

07:08Great elf library, indeed

07:11It's probably just a dusty old cupboard

07:13Goodness me!

07:18Shh!

07:19This is a library

07:20We must be quiet

07:23Wow!

07:25It's huge!

07:28There are so many books here

07:29How do you stop them flying about and fidgeting?

07:33These are not magic books, your majesty

07:36Oh, well how do you ever find what you are looking for then?

07:41We ask the wise old librarian

07:45So where is this wise old librarian?

07:48Can I help you?

07:54Are you the librarian?

07:56Yes

07:56Do you know where the stars go in the daytime?

08:04Yes

08:05The answer is in the astrophysics section

08:08Second row, reference 520.34

08:12This way

08:14But we already looked in books for the answer

08:17What books did you look in?

08:20We looked in my story book

08:22And we looked in magic spell books

08:25Well, there are different books for different things

08:29There are books with stories in

08:32Ooh, look, witches

08:35And books about how things work

08:38Wow, a bucket book

08:40There are books about music

08:43Oh, palm music for elves

08:46My favourite

08:47Books about animals

08:50Oh, chickens

08:51That's interesting

08:52Books about vegetables

08:54Oh, yes

08:56I like vegetables

08:57Especially peas

08:58You can find out any answer

09:01If you look in the right book

09:03Ah, here we are

09:05A book on stars

09:08Is this going to have the answer?

09:10Let's see

09:11Is everybody comfortable?

09:14Yes, Queen Fischl

09:15On clear nights

09:17We can see the stars

09:19Twinkling in the sky

09:21The light we see from each star

09:23Is tiny

09:24The tiniest little spot of light

09:27We can only see it

09:29Because the sky is so dark

09:31Black

09:32The night sky is pure blackness

09:35Yes, it is, Holly

09:36But when the morning comes

09:39And the sun rises

09:40The sky gets brighter

09:41And the stars disappear

09:43But Mummy, where do the stars go?

09:47They don't go anywhere

09:49What?

09:51They're still shining in the sky

09:52We just can't see them anymore

09:55Because the sky is so bright

09:56It's obvious

09:57It's obvious

09:58I knew that

10:00And when the sun goes down

10:02And the sky gets darker

10:04We can see the stars again

10:07When the sun goes

10:09Of course

10:10So, Daddy

10:12Where does the sun go?

10:15Well, it...

10:17Ah

10:17Wise old elf

10:19These books

10:21Should answer that question

10:24Your Majesty

10:26This is a library

10:32We must be quiet

10:35Hooray!

10:56Listen to the planets

10:57You

10:58Aa

11:03Yeah

11:05Oh

11:13It's me
