00:00Look up, look down, look all around, up in the air or on the ground.
00:14Come for a walk, come for a ride, there's so much to see, so come outside.
00:24When you use the bath, or when you use the sink, pull the plug out, let the dirty water go.
00:38When you use the lavatory, it all flows down the pan.
00:43What am I describing? Do you know?
00:47It's sewage.
00:54Quack, quack, quack.
01:17Hello, my dears. It's only us.
01:19I'm just buying some jokes and tricks for a children's party.
01:38Do you think they'll like this one?
01:41It isn't real.
01:45It's pretend.
01:46There you are, auntie.
01:50Thank you very much.
01:53Bye.
01:54Bye-bye. Do call again.
01:56Come along, Pippin.
02:04Hello.
02:05Hello, auntie Mabel.
02:07What's going on here?
02:08They're just checking some pipes underground.
02:11Oh.
02:11Bye-bye.
02:30Pippin.
02:33Did you do that?
02:36I'll clean it up.
02:37Never mind.
02:42Never mind.
03:04Never mind.
03:05There you are, Pippin.
03:25This dirty water is going to the same place as Pippin's poo.
03:31I can show you where it goes.
03:33Come outside.
03:35Hello again.
03:39Hello.
03:40Could I go down and have a look?
03:42It's quite dangerous, but if you really want to go, we'll take you down.
03:45I'd like to.
03:53These clothes will protect me from germs and diseases.
03:58You can't come down, Pippin.
04:00You have to stay here.
04:01This is my safety harness.
04:11It's a long way down.
04:12Oh, look.
04:26We're inside a huge pipe.
04:29It's called a sewer.
04:36This is where all the dirty water and the poo go.
04:41They flow along inside the pipe and get all mixed up together.
04:47And the mixture is called sewage.
04:50This is how we start toλλen.
04:52I'll make it, but I'll try it, but I'll take it.
04:54I thought it was dirty.
04:55It's not that I'm dirty.
04:56I'll take it.
04:56I'll take it, baby.
04:57This is how I dip into it.
04:58I'll do it.
04:58I've got to wash it on my face.
04:59I'll do it.
05:00I'll make it.
05:01I'll do it.
05:02I'll cut it all right.
05:03I'll do it.
05:34I thought it would be very smelly down here, but it isn't.
05:40If there was a rainstorm, the water could be this deep.
05:51That's someone's bath water.
05:55The sewage is going off to a place where it's cleaned.
05:59Let's go with it and see what happens.
06:04I don't think we'll go that way.
06:18Right. Pippin, it's time to fly.
06:21Are you looking for your lead, Pippin?
06:46You've got it on, silly girl.
06:51Pippin, it's time to fly.
06:56Pippin.
06:57Pippin.
06:58Pippin.
06:59Pippin.
07:31See all those houses down there, Pippin?
07:49They all have pipes underground, taking the sewage away.
07:55There it is, Pippin!
07:58The sewage works!
08:01Do you remember the big tunnel I was in,
08:21where all the messy, yucky sewage flows along?
08:24Well, this is where it ends up.
08:29And it comes here to be cleaned.
08:33Here it comes!
08:34All the rubbish, the bits of cloth and so on,
08:59are taken out by this machine.
09:13Then the sewage goes into these tanks,
09:16where the solid bits sink to the bottom.
09:20Can you see your poo in there, Pippin?
09:24The water moves on to these tanks, where it's cleaned.
09:33It takes hours and hours.
09:35The water's lost its brown colour now.
09:46And when it's clean, guess where it goes.
09:50The clean water flows into the river.
09:58But what about the poo?
10:01Come with me.
10:02And here it is.
10:06It's called Sludge.
10:15It's dried and piled up here.
10:18It's called Sludge Cake.
10:21No, definitely not the sort of cake you would eat.
10:32You never guess where those lurries are taking it.
10:42It's taken to fields, where it's spread on the ground,
10:46and it helps the plants to grow.
10:51So when you flush the lavatory,
10:54the waste goes round and round,
10:56then flows away along the drain,
10:59to a sewer underground.
11:02Dirty water, solid sludge,
11:04all mixed up with the rain.
11:07It's waste that's being cleaned,
11:09and then some of it's gonna be used again.
11:14It flows along a tunnel,
11:17and it all ends up out here.
11:19The water moves through different tanks,
11:22till it's clean and crystal clear.
11:25All the dirty water that went pouring down the drain,
11:30is clean enough for rivers then.
11:33Some of it's gonna be used again.
11:36Solid bits of waste that we saw tumbling down the drain,
11:43are spread on fields to feed the plants,
11:46and that's how some of it's used again.
11:50And now you know all about sewage,
11:57and I'm ready for a nice cup of tea.
12:03Now, where was I?
12:05Ah, yes.
12:07Tricks for the children's party.
12:09Oh, what have we got here?
12:13Oh!
12:15Look, the pretend poo.
12:18I'm sure I can trick somebody into thinking this is real.
12:21No, I don't.
12:38Pippin, my goodness me, what have you done on my floor, you naughty girl?
13:08It's the pretend one, you tricked me, Pippin!
13:38Pippin, my goodness me, what have you done on my floor, you naughty girl?
13:57What have you done on my floor?
14:02Oh!
14:07Uh-huh!
