Steve stands in the studio. He's slim, clean-shaven, in his fifties, with short curly brown hair. He's wearing a gray suit, white shirt, and blue tie.
A wall screen behind him reads "The week in review."

Music plays as an animated slate reads "The week in review."

In animation, Zamzoom, a young purple space alien and his quick-witted robot partner Orbie high-five before getting into a space ship. Orbie is a blue and yellow floating ball with a robotic arm.

Zopzee, Zamzoom's little sister, appears and hugs Zamzoom. She has short pink hair and big eyes.

The title of the show reads "Zamzoom's Animal Adventures."

Zamzoom spins a globe and says WHERE WILL WE LOOK FOR EARTH'S
ANIMALS TODAY?
I LOVE THIS PART.

Orbie says THE FRENCH ALPS.

Zamzoom says WOOHOO! YEAH!
WHAT'S AN "ALP"?

Orbie says LET ME CHECK.
THE FRENCH ALPS ARE A GROUP
OF MOUNTAINS
THAT STRETCH ACROSS FRANCE.

Zamzoom says WOOHOO! FRANCE!
WHAT'S "FRANCE"?

Orbie says IT'S A COUNTRY. IN EUROPE.
LET'S GO!

The space ship is about to land on the Alps.

Zamzoom says NOPE, NO ANIMALS HERE.

Orbie says JUST A SECOND. KEEP YOUR BOOTS
ON! WE HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED YET!

Zamzoom says OKAY, I'LL LAND. BUT I'M TELLING
YOU, I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING.
SINCE WHEN DOES THIS LANDING
BUTTON MAKE THAT NOISE?

They space ship shakes landing roughly.

Orbie says WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR?

Zamzoom says THE BUTTON WAS WHISTLING!

(Marmot whistling)

Zamzoom says WAIT! THE SOUND IS COMING FROM
UP HERE! WHAT?

Orbie says OVER HERE!
IT'S A CREATURE CALLED A MARMOT.
THEIR FUR IS JUST THE RIGHT
COLOUR TO BLEND IN
WITH THE SURROUNDINGS, SO THEY
CAN HIDE FROM PREDATORS.

Zamzoom says SO THAT'S WHY WE COULDN'T SEE
ANY ANIMALS HERE!

Marmots run and stop.

Zamzoom says LOOK! THEY'RE ALL YELLING AT
EACH OTHER!
WHY ARE THEY SO ALARMED?

Orbie says ANALYZING. IT IS AN ALARM CALL.
MARMOT GUARDS SIGNAL TO EACH
OTHER WITH THAT PIERCING
LOUD WHISTLE WHEN THEY SPOT
DANGER,
LIKE WHEN A HUNGRY PREDATOR IS
FLYING OVERHEAD.

Zamzoom says WHERE? WHERE?!

Orbie says OOOOHHH!
THEY THOUGHT OUR SHIP WAS A
FLYING PREDATOR!

Zamzoom says OH! UH OH.
SORRY EVERYONE! SORRY. EXCUSE
US. WE'RE HARMLESS!
CARRY ON EVERYBODY!

Orbie says UM, THAT DIDN'T WORK!
THEY'RE DISAPPEARING INTO THE
GROUND!
OH, PHEW, HEHE. IT'S NOT US.
THERE'S AN ACTUAL PREDATOR.

An eagle flies nearby.

Zamzoom says THERE'S AN ACTUAL PREDATOR!

Zamzoom hides in a burrow.

Orbie says THE MARMOTS DIG UNDERGROUND
TUNNELS, CALLED BURROWS
WHERE THEY CAN HIDE FROM DANGER,
STAY WARM
AND RAISE THEIR FAMILIES.

Zamzoom says BUT LOOK! THEY'RE PLAYING AND
HAVING FUN!

Orbie says NOPE! PRETTY SURE THAT MARMOT
CHALLENGED THE
OTHER ONE FOR ITS TERRITORY.
IT'S A KNOCK-DOWN, DRAGE-OUT
WRESTLING MATCH!

Zamzoom says OKAY GUYS, TAKE IT EASY!
YOU'RE GETTING A LITTLE ROUGH
OUT THERE!
LOOKS LIKE THAT DISPUTE'S
SETTLED.
AND NEXT ON THE AGENDA; DINNER!
WHAT ARE THEY EATING WITH THOSE
GIANT TEETH OF THEIRS?

Orbie says THEY'RE HERBIVORES. THEY ONLY
EAT PLANTS.

Zamzoom says OH! I WONDER WHAT THAT TASTES
LIKE.

Orbie says STOP! MARMOTS CAN EAT PLANTS
THAT ARE
POISONOUS TO OTHER ANIMALS!

Zamzoom says ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU ENJOY
THAT MARMOT.
I'M SURE IT'S DELICIOUS.

Back in the ship, Zopzee appears on a screen.

Zopzee says I WOULD LIKE A PET MARMOT!
COULD YOU GET ME A PET MARMOT?
HUH? COME ON... PLEASE?
FOR THE BEST LITTLE SISTER EVER?

Zamzoom says NO WAY! THEY'RE SCRAPPY LITTLE
FIGHTERS
AND ANYWAY THEY ARE PERFECTL
ADAPTED TO LIVE
IN THEIR MOUNTAIN BURROWS.
I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND BURROWING
THOUGH.
I'VE STILL GOT DIRT IN MY MOUTH!

Zamzoom spits dirt and Orbie chuckles.

The end credits roll.
