01:37 - "ONCE UPON A TIME" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(voice-over)

One day, I was sick, at home, and saw my cat playing with a thread reel. That's when I asked myself:

"Why don't animals drive?"

I know! The cheetah doesn't drive, because it's always speeding.

(skidding sound)

And the slow turtle, because it jams motorways.

(traffic and horn sounds)

The firefly doesn't drive, because it doesn't have a reflective vest.

(horn sound)

And the sloth, because it falls asleep behind the wheel.

(snoring sound)

The giraffe doesn't drive, because it's too tall.

(xylophone sound in crescendo)

And the parrot, because it's always on the phone. Bla, bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla!

The shark doesn't drive, because it hates the seat belt and getting stuck in it.

(seat belt sound)

And the turkey, because it drank and got drunk.

The bull doesn't drive, because it gets mad at the red light.

(bull sound)

And the mole, because it goes into tunnels with no headlights.

The octopus doesn't drive, because it gets distracted while doing eight things at the same time.

And the crab, because it loves to drive in reverse.

The elephant doesn't drive, because it's heavy and has a big snout.

And the kangaroo, because there's no safety seat for the kids.

The snake doesn't drive, because it zigzags down the road.

And the mouse? The mouse, because it eats cheese and forgets about the rules.

(mouse sound - "Rules? Rules? Ahhh, I don't remember...")

The gorilla doesn't drive, because it´s always monkeying around.

And the dinosaur, why doesn't it drive? That one's easy! Duhhh, because it's extinct!

PRESENTATION 4

Host 1 (Filipa) - All children have rights and deserve to be respected, right, Andreia?

Host 2 (Andreia) - They do, indeed. And it's important that everyone pays attention to these issues.

Despite being young, children have lots of important stuff to say.

04:01 - "KIDS RIGHTS" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(intro voice-over)

Children have rights and they must be respected!

(child voice-over)

No to race, colour, sex, language, religion, nationality and social or economic status

discrimination.

Every child has the right to have a name and a nationality. They have the right of citizenship in a

country.

In the future, if all children's rights are complied with, we might live in society as good adults and

contribute for other children to also live happily. Thank you!

PRESENTATION 5

Host 1 (Filipa) - That’s true. Are you there and are you having fun, zigzagger? Cool. So stay there,

because we'll keep you company, and in a while we'll talk about plants, is that it?

(Andreia pretends she is smelling something)

Host 2 (Andreia) - I can smell it already! I can smell it already! I smell something. What could it be?

Well, it looks like we'll talk about a fig tree. I like figs very much, what about you?

Host 1 (Filipa) - I love it, I love it! It's one of my favourite fruits.

Host 2 (Andreia) - I think this one is a strangler. Let's understand why.

05:00 - "BOTANICAL GARDEN" PROGRAMME

INTRO (The world of plants is... in the Botanical Gardeeeen!)

(voice-over)

Hello, my name is Raquel Barata and I'm a biologist, more specifically a botanist, because I study

plants. Tell me, do you know the Moreton Bay fig tree?

What if I said the fig tree strang... No, I'm not spoiling the end.

This tree I'm talking about grows really fast and takes a lot of space in the garden.

(sound effect: space sound)

Its aerial roots grow until they reach the ground and become trunks that support very large

branches.

(sound effect: tree branches)

Actually, this species is indigenous to a tropical rainforest, where usually there's no space available

for new plants. So, what happens is that the growth of these aerial roots is a fantastic competition

trick. Do you know which one it is?

The figs are carried by birds, who eat them, to other tree tops. These figs' seeds manage to sprout

there and begin to form leaves and aerial roots. These roots start growing too fast and wrap around

the host tree, until they strangle it completely.

Afterwards, once they reach the ground, they take their place in the Tropical Rainforest, exactly

where the other tree was. This is why this massive tree is also called a Strangler Fig tree.

You can see it in Lisbon's Botanical Garden or in the Tropical Botanical Garden.

JINGLE

It's awesome. It's awesome!

15:35 - "ONE MINUTE OF SCIENCE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(child)

Can anyone become a superhero?

(voice-over)

Well, all the super-heroes you know from films and cartoons don't respect the laws of physics at all.

(sound of Superman I film)

- Superman?

- That´s

me.(voice-over)

Physics studies a lot of things, such as, for example, forces and movements. Why do objects fall when

you drop them, or rise from the ground and fly?

(skidding

sound)

(voice-over)

Super-heroes’ special powers are inspired on other living beings’ abilities, whose body has adapted

to flying or jumping heights bigger than their own size. For example, Superman flies but, in order to

fly, he would need wings, so the air could support him while moving really fast.

(sound of Superman I film)

- Superman was here!

(voice-over)

And why does he use his underpants over his trousers? Well, that's not physics, but it's a mystery,

alright.

(sound of Batman, the Dark Knight film)

- No, I don´t wanna hurt you.

(voice-over)


10

As for Batman, he would only be able to jump from high buildings and land on the ground

unscathed, with wings or a parachute. But we all are superheroes, when we invent something that

allows us to overcome our physical limitations. That's why we built airplanes, telescopes, space

ships, submarines, robots, that allow us to venture beyond our physical abilities.

(sound of Batman, the Dark Knight film)

However, on the other hand, have you ever imagined how hard it must be to prepare breakfast,

take you to school, work, help with your homework, play with you and read you a bedtime story?

Hummm, superheroes are real and they're called "mom" and "dad".

INTRO

(music playing really low: Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz)

(voice-over)

Sorry, but can you raise the volume? I can't hear anything!

(music volume gets higher)

Ahh, now that's better!

Janis Lyn Joplin; I'm going to talk about her in today's Let's get loud!

Janis Joplin was an American singer and songwriter, born in Texas, in the United States of America, in

1943, and is considered the first big female rock star ever.

When she was in school, Janis used to entertain her friends by singing to them. While a teenager,

she was already a music artist, and also a painter, and that made her stand out from the other

children.

Life in school was not easy for Janis, but that didn't stop her from fighting for her dream: to live

for Music.

Janis Joplin died really young, at only 27 years old. There are some important musicians that died at

27 years old, and that's why there's a group called "The 27 Club".

Nirvana's front man, Kurt Cobain; The Doors' front man, Jim Morrison; Jimmi Hendrix, a great

guitarist; and Amy Winehouse, are some of the musicians who have died at the young age of 27.

Have you ever heard about them?

Janis Joplin's song I want to show you is called "Mercedes Benz". The lyrics are a critic to those who

believe happiness depends on money and material assets.

Janis Joplin never had a Mercedes, but she did have a very special Porsche. Generally, cars come in

the same colour throughout, right? Well, Janis Joplin's Porsche looked like a painting, because it had

mountains and trees painted on it, a blue sky with clouds and a bird flying, stars and planets. Look

for a photo of Janis Joplin's car, you'll love it.

(singing) Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

That's how it begins. The original version of this song had only Janis Joplin's voice, but I'll show you

one with instruments playing, so that it's more exciting!

Let's hear Mercedes Benz, from Janis Joplin? So…

LET'S GET LOUD!

(song: Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz)

27:06 - "THE WORLD EXPLAINED" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(voice-over)

Did you ever hear about volunteering or being a volunteer? It's a solidarity activity to contribute to

resolving problems that affect society in general, for example, helping sick people or people with less

possibilities, who live on the streets. President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has been talking about this

situation.

(voice of the President of the Republic)

There are thousands more then what we first thought, and in parts of the country we had never

imagined. For example, Santarém has a homeless people problem, in a scale we had never imagined.

(voice-over)

The environment, also helping animals, rehabilitating buildings... There's so much you can do. It's a

free choice, it must be made with joy without asking anything in return.

And you? Have you ever done volunteering in the Scouts, at school, your sports team or any

association?

(stadium sound, in a soccer game)

(voice-over)

Today, I'll open Brave Nation with a riddle: who was born in Madeira, came to the mainland very

young and scores amazing goals? Gooooaaal!!!

Well, of course it's Cristiano Ronaldo, the best soccer player in the world!

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on February the 5th, 1985, in Madeira, and the first

soccer team he played in was Andorinha Football Club.

(swallow's funny sound)

At 12 years old, Ronaldo left is family and came to the mainland to play for Sporting. Do you know

where he lived? He lived in a house inside the Alvalade stadium. Lucky him, you must be thinking!

Well, in truth, Ronaldo felt alone because he was away from his mother and brothers, and that

motivated him to focus on his career, because his dream was to become the best player in the

world.

After Sporting, CR7 played for Manchester United, and he now plays for Real Madrid and he really,

really is the best soccer player in the world. Maybe even the best soccer player in the universe.

He's a brave player from our brave nation!

(sound from Antena 1 radio archives - celebrating Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in Euro 2016)

(track: Kampe Wikstrom - Welcome to the jungle)

(voice-over)

Hello, my name is Elizabete Malafaia and I'm a palaeontologist.

(character's voice)

Hi, Elizabete!

(voice-over)

Today, I'm going to talk about a dinosaur with a hard head.

(sound effect: pachycephalosaurs)

(voice-over)

No, it doesn't mean he was stubborn! It means this dinosaur had a thick and compact skull. It's

called pachycephalosaurs.

(character's voice)

What does it mean?

(voice-over)

It means "thick-headed lizard", a reference to the unique shape of its skull. They were herbivore

dinosaurs, feeding of plants, and biped, because they moved on two legs. They could measure up to

4 metres long, approximately. Their eyes were on the front of the skull, which gave them eyesight in

3 dimensions.

(character's voice)

I see you wearing glasses!

(track: Kampe Wikstrom - Welcome to the jungle)

(character's voice)

Before you leave, what if I want to learn more things about dinosaurs in the meantime?

(voice-over)

You can learn more about the pachycephalosaurs, and other dinosaurs, at the National Museum of

Natural History and Science.

Is it the sound of a whistle, a chimpanzee or the house phone?

(sound effect: drum roll)

And the correct answer is... it's the sound of a whistle, of course!

(sound effect: applause)

INTRO

(voice-over)

It's a place that welcomes people from many places.

(sound effect: crowd)

We need a ticket to access some of the doors.

(sound effect: airplane door opening)

The special ones, those that can take us to other further places, other cities, other countries.

(sound effect: airplane takes off)

It has a main building and a lot of outside space. It also has long lanes.

They can be tarmacked or a dirt track. Depending on the country and the size of this… place… we're

talking about.

When we get closer, we always see a control tower.

(sound effect: control tower and crowd)

There, you can see lots of people with one or several suitcases. There are scales and conveyor belts

for luggage.

And those who are going somewhere else must have a passport or Citizen Card, depending on

their nationality and destination.

In this place I'm telling you about, there are several types of transportation, a means of transport

with wings.

(sound effect: airplane sound)

Air transport.

(sound effect: airport)

Which place is it? Did you find out?

It's an airport, of course!

41:35 - "DO RE MI" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(voice-over)

Pump up the volume and shake your body!

(song: Kraftwerk - The Robots)

(child's voice over)

The instrument Joana is going to talk about is very different from the others. It doesn't have cords,

you can't blow it nor does it need a drumstick to play. If it's not connected to electricity, this

instrument won't emit any sound. Do you know what instrument I'm talking about?

(song: Kraftwerk - The Robots)

(voice over)

(song: Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene part 4)

The synthesiser is an electronic musical instrument, which emits a sound created by electric energy.

When it was invented, in 1957, the synthesiser was very big and couldn't be transported anywhere, it

could only be turned on inside a laboratory because it was too heavy to transport onto a stage.


20

(song: A-ha - Take on me)

(voice-over)

Through the years, this machine became smaller and easy to transport. Bands were able to take

them for concerts, the same way you take a guitar, drums or bass guitars.

Do you want to know how the people who invented the first synthesisers easy to transport are

called? Their names are a bit complicated, but here goes: Robert Moog and Herbert Deutsch. Robert

Moog and Herbert Deutsch! Have you ever heard about them?

(song: New Order - Blue Monday)

(voice-over)

Usually, synthesisers have the shape of a keyboard, but they can also have the shape of a violin, a

guitar, drums or wind instruments. Synthesisers are machines that mimic the sounds of other

instruments. They're copycats!

Nowadays, many bands use synthesisers on their music; songs you listen to every day. It's really true!

So, let's listen to a couple songs in which the bands chose to use a synthesiser.

(song: New Order - Blue Monday)

(song: Heróis do Mar - Paixão)

(song: MGMT - Kids)

(song: Depeche Mode - Just can’t get enough)

(voice-over)

As you can see, synthesisers mimic other instruments and allow the musicians to invent new sounds

and do crazy mixes! Now that you know so much about synthesisers, would you like to have one and

learn to play it?

(song: Depeche Mode - Just can’t get enough)

(frog sound effect)

PRESENTATION 22

Host 1 (Filipa) - Before we say goodbye, we will talk about frogs in “No problem without solution”. We

will play with numbers and the Mathematics next.

44:51 - "NO PROBLEM WITHOUT SOLUTION" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(voice-over)

Hi, zigzagger! Our problem today has frogs.

There were some frogs by a pond on a sunny day. Six jumped into the water, four stayed

watching. How many frogs were in total?

(sound effect: someone thinking and doing maths)

(voice-over)

Bahhh, even two-year-old babies can do the maths. 6 + 4 equals 14!

(sound effect: mistake sound)

What? What? It's not 14?

Even two-year-old babies now this... 6 plus 4 equals 10, of course!

Infinites and millions!

(horse neigh sound effect)

45:42 - "WORLD'S MOST UNBELIEVABLE FACTS" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(track: Great Britain popular instrumental songs)

(voice-over)

Did you ever see those statues with knights riding horses? Usually, the horses are in different

positions.

If the horse has both front legs in the air, it means the person riding it, the knight, died in battle, in a

war.

If the horse has only one leg in the air, that person died due to war injuries. After the war, while in

bed.

If the horse is standing on all four legs, the person died of natural causes. Probably of sickness or

old age.

Now, never forget this and keep an eye for it next time you pass by a statue. Ah, and question

who's the knight, of course!

(sound effect: horse neigh)

SONG: Expensive Soul - Limbo

(lyrics) It's you I want to leave with,

But, sometimes, I must pretend

And say I'm alright,

Better off with no one.

It's you I want to marry with,

But, sometimes, you make me think

And, babe, I don't know,

what's yet to come.

One, two, three,

What's coming

Is about you

If you want, I want,


If you want,

I want you even more!

Ok, ok, ok!

Host 1 (Filipa) - Do you know who Cristóvão Colombo was? We will learn about it ate the “Seafaring

Heroes” programme. And then we will talk about the sense of smell in “X-Ray”.

47:46 - "SEAFARING HEROES" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(track: Ferrari, Kessler, Solaris - Class Clown)

(sound effect: seagulls and ocean waves)

(voice-over)

Christopher Columbus was a great navigator. Maybe he was born in Portugal, or maybe in Spain,

but most likely he was born in Italy. No one is 100% certain.

He was the leader of the expedition that found America.

(sound effect: “hello” in English)

(voice-over)

He was just another one that made a mistake, left hoping to find India and ended up on the shores of

the Caribbean, in the Gulf of Mexico.

(sound effect: seagulls)

(voice-over)

He was the first European to expand, explore, conquer and colonise the American continent, and is

responsible for the first trade routes to the Americas. He may not have been Portuguese, but he's a

brave seafarer. Bravo, Christopher Columbus!

(sound effect: sea, seagulls and ship horn)

(track: Ferrari, Kessler, Solaris - Class Clown)

48:41 - SONG: Zig Zag Fado (written by Zig Zag radio)

(lyrics)

This song you are listening to is fado, indeed.

It was born in Portugal

And goes from Amália to Camané.

It´s antique, sad and talks about saudade

But at Zig Zag radio

We have no time for sadness.

With you, this radio his such a treasure.

49:19 - "X-RAY" PROGRAMME

INTRO

(voice-over)

Huuummm.... I can't believe it! There are apples in the oven. The house smells so good, like apple

It smells of apple cinnamon!

There must be a very wise leprechaun living inside my nose, who sends letters to my brain explaining

what's happening in my kitchen. He's nosy, tells him everything!

(child's voice)

X-ray!!!

(voice-over)

We can guess what's cooking just by smelling it. You know straight away if it's worth sneaking into the

kitchen to taste some cookies or if it's… steamed cauliflower day. We are able to guess what's happening around us just by smelling it, because we have our… olfactory sense.

(sound effect: nose sniffing)

We have five senses and one is olfaction. Tiny particulates come out of food or the soil, or from

animals or flowers, from people, and travel through the air into our nose. They blend in the mucosa

inside our nasal cavities and, in that moment, information is coded like a computer code and sent to

the brain. And the brain is awesome! It can distinguish thousands of thousands of thousands of

different smells.

Did you know there are people whose job is to differentiate aromas, and through scents, to gather

the most pleasant scents to create perfume? Some noses are fantastic!

However, the human being isn't the best "sniffer" in the world, it's not the animal with the best

olfaction. Dogs, for example, are admirable, they can track a scent across several kilometres!

52:50 - “WHAT IF I WAS…” PROGRAMME

(voice-over)

(girl’s voice) If I wasn't a girl, I would like to be a fox, because that way I could do whatever I wanted to

and no one would punish me.

(boy’s voice 1) I would be a dragon, because dragons spit fire, they are giant and they fly.

(boy’s voice2) Tasmanian devil, because they´re sweet and cute and they are a mixture between a cat

and a dog.

(cat and dog sound effect)

53:21 - “ZIGZAGZOO” PROGRAMME

INTRO

(child’s voice)

How does the orangutan drink water?

(voice-over)

Hi, my name is Tiago Carrilho and I’m a biologist at the Zoo.

The Sumatran orangutans are animals that live in the same forest as the Sumatran tigers. They live

pretty high, approximately 25/30 metres high in the trees. And in those trees, the ficus elastica trees,

the water accumulates in the leaves.

What do they do? In order not to come down to the floor, because of the tigers, they squeeze the

leaves of the ficus elastica tree and are able to drink almost like they were doing it from a glass.

FINAL INTRO (voice-over)

Zoological Garden, for the animal’s life preservation!

It's Bomber Menta, no one can hold it! (x4)

(sound effect: knock on the door)

(Dr Horribledorf)

- Come in.

(Clemente)

- Hello, doctor. Hum… what have I done wrong?

(Dr Horribledorf)

- Easy! Don't be nervous, my office is smell proof. You're welcome to fart, if you want.

(Clemente)

- Uff, great! But, why did you call me here, doctor Horribledorf?

(Dr Horribledorf)

- I need you to go on a mission.

(Clemente)

- How so?

(Dr Horribledorf)

- I've been observing your powers. With a simple fart, you can evacuate a whole school. What

I want you to do is, get inside my teleportation machine and go to Beijing. To our rival

school, Chop Suey Villain Muchi.

(Clemente)

- And what do you need me to do, doctor?

(Dr Horribledorf)

- Take this green potion. It'll leave you calm and focused. Once you arrive at their school

yard, take this red potion, which not only increases the smell of your farts, but also makes

you invisible.

(Clemente)

- Right!

(Dr Horribledorf)

- As soon as the school is evacuated, go inside my arch-enemy's office, Miau Chai Tsung

Cokorama, and steal the blue box. Now, get in, my little one.

(sound effect: space sounds)

(Clemente)

- Hum, I'm at the door. I'll have to get in by the sewer pipes.

(Narrator)

While entering the sewer pipes, Clemente realises he already was inside the school when he arrived.

He was at the door, but on the inside. Anyway.

(Clemente) - Ok, I’m already inside.

(Narrator)

Clemente hides on the bushes and drinks a little from the green potion, to stop the farts, because he

was, in fact, very nervous.

(Clemente)

- Where's the yard? Ah, it's up there.


27

(Narrator)

Then, he drinks the red potion and starts to run, invisible.

However, he was only half the ways and the fart wanted to come out. He hurries, gets to the yard

and...

(sound effect: fart and people screaming)

(Narrator)

Invisible, he manages to enter the evil Miau Chai Tsung Cokorama's office.

(Clemente)

- How am I going to steal the box with him here?

(Miau Chai Tsung Cokorama)

- I can see you, shorty. Did you come to seal the blue box? Take it.

(Clemente)

- How can you see me?

(Miau Chai Tsung Cokorama)

- One of my several powers is to see invisible people. It was just a matter of time until

Horribledorf sent you to steal the blue box. You can take it. And you're welcome to this

school, whenever you want. Hurry up, the teleportation machine is running out of battery.


(Narrator)

Clemente is happy because the plan was easy to execute.

(Dr Horribledorf)

- Great job, young Clemente. Now, I have to leave my super, mega, fancy technological office

to open the box in the yard. Finally! The documents with the codes to rule the world!


(Dr Horribledorf)

- What? What is this? He switched the papers! These are just drawings of turnips and

tomatoes and courgettes, only vegetables! And he knows I can't look at vegetables, it affects

my power!

(Clemente)

- Doctor, you're turning into a toilet! I'm getting nervous...

(Dr Horribledorf)

- No!!!
