TRANSCRIPT

Paula
So, Graham and Harry have three letters. Ned and Clare have one – at last! And Ned has a secret… Astrid and Eden have found all three letters, and they're looking for the fourth.

Astrid
Right, so, we're looking for an elephant.

Eden
I love elephants.

Astrid
They're at the bottom of Nelson's Column. Yes, I can see them! They're on the column, at the bottom.

Eden
Erm, Astrid, they're not elephants…

Astrid
Are you sure? Oh, no…

Eden
Where are the elephants?

Astrid
Those are lions on there.

Ned
Apples, oranges, pineapples…

Clare
Bananas!

Paula
Clare and Ned have found another letter.

Eden
Excuse me, have you seen an elephant?

Astrid
Eden, what are you doing?

Eden
Elephant?

Helen
Excuse me, did you say you're looking for an elephant?

Eden
Yes! Please. Do you have an elephant?

Helen
No, but there are elephants at Liverpool Street.

Eden
Liverpool Street? Real ones? We don't want real ones.

Helen
No, they're elephant statues! They look like this!

Eden
Ah! Thank you!

Eden
Finally, look, an elephant!

Astrid
Oh no. There's loads! Upthere. Overthere.

Eden
Come on. Let's find it.

Eden
Up there!

Astrid
Eden, that's a goat.

Astrid
Look under the trunk!

Eden
No.

Astrid
Next to the tail? No.

Eden
Astrid, I've got it! It's in between the legs. It's a Y.

Paula
So, Astrid and Eden have found another letter. Ned and Clare have two letters now – they're happy, at the moment… Graham and Harry are not as lucky as the other teams today…they can't find their letter.
