And just like that, Lady Penelope cut Parker’s strings off. It can upset anyone who is familiar with Thunderbirds in the ‘90s, but DVLA horrifyingly abused Parker by letting him be aware that he’s a puppet and not a human. Inside, those puppets can act like they’re human, but it’s all about the worth and skill you need to discover your inner human nature - you don’t need to research early apes to discover human worth, all you need now is faith, trust and a little bit of belief to discover there’s a puppet inside your human body.

Learn The Language Of Your Ancestors
Walking With Beasts is more than a story about the rise of mammals - sabre tooths, basilosauruses, Leptictidium and the like - it’s about how our ancestors evolved from nocturnal, frightened monkeys to brave, strong humans we were today. It’s a show which brings human worth into our lives, bringing realistic heart and peril as thoughts in our wandering minds as we see these CGI beasts running around eating each other and fighting every peril that comes their way. There’s no series as bloody and as philosophical as Walking With Beasts. Rawr!
Where Are The Beasts?
When we want to learn the language of our ancestors, it can be very tricky to link it up with our sensual love of some scenes from Walking With Beasts, mainly, the human backstory that evolves throughout the mammals' history. The nocturnal godinotia, the apidium, the Australopithecus and especially the humans who came when the mammoths arrived on the plain, all ending with that scene of humans in a museum.
Picture this, right: you're watching Walking With Beasts in 2001 and you don't know what to make of some scenes, like the ants eating the baby bird. Gross! Who'd want to see that? Giant ants eating a baby bird could give you nightmares! But what you're really falling for is the Earthquake scene from the first episode - strong music, loud shrieks from the apes, the gas making its way through the forest and killing every animal in sight - just enough to make you grip the edge of your seat in horror and excitement.
It's exciting, okay, but you're very sorry for those who had to live through this terrible disaster, mainly the monkey characters. What gave you this kind of relief is that when you watch the fourth episode, the Godinotia have evolved to Apidium, who were frightened because a shark ate one of their own kind, and then Australopithecus, who were brave enough not to run from predators, but outsmart them using all the technology and tools they had before we even had AI or smartphones.
It may be stupid to you, but those apes really shed light on what us humans grew to appear as today. They walked upright, they made tools for themselves, they even fended off a Dinofelis! Brave monkeys. However, one thing still bugs me: how are you going to live this moment if you're too stressed to even find anything fascinating?
It's not just about watching the series, it's about developing a technique you will need to understand what this series meant to you. Walking With Beasts isn't just about mammal evolution, it's also about human philosophy and peril, giving us a better chance to look deeper inside our hearts and find out more about ourselves. And that's where Walking With Cavemen comes in - the backstory proved so popular that our ancestors got their own spinoff series - except, it's not narrated, it has a host: Dr Robert Winston, who also presented The Human Body.
So in order to understand what makes you deeply human, when you have reflection time, try this strategy: keep a diary of all the times you found out you were human enough to know everything that happened around you: your emotions, the sensations you were feeling, and the ways and strategies you planned solutions to your problems. The beasts will thank you la-
*STATIC*
But wait! There's more!
Actually, there isn't more.
For God's sake!

How To Make: A Big Book Of Draff Facts!
It's a common fact we know from CBeebies' series Pablo: autistic children know a lot of facts, and so does Pablo's friend Draff. He has quite a job, trying to write down every single fact whether real or made up, he knows about.
Which is why I present: the Big Book Of Draff Facts. It's a book full of your very own facts, whether real or made up, about something or someone you love. And I'm going to show you how to make it!
You will need:
- A green notebook (or any other colourful notebook for that matter)
- Some colourful pens
- Some stickers
- Some washi tape
- First thing's first: decorate the borders of the page with a coloured washi tape of your choice. For this demonstration, we'll choose red. When you've finished each side, cut off the tape using a pair of scissors.
- Decorate the top of the page with some stickers of your choosing. If I were you, I'd choose some Disney stickers.
- Get out the colourful pens and write down what you know and don't know. We're going to colour-code these facts: yellow for real facts, and blue for facts you can make up.
- Continue for the next few pages.
- And viola! You've got a whole book of facts, just like one Draff has!
And, you may hate me for saying this, don't forget to watch Pablo on iPlayer. If you don't want to see Pablo's grown up adventures at school, then I suggest you see old episodes of Pablo where he discovers what matters most to his childhood and his needs when he has autism.
All of us have different needs, and judging by Pablo's needs and wisdom, this Draff book will do you good to keep up with knowledge you make up and some you know. Good luck!

Animal Bytes, featuring the Aldabra Tortoise. Stitch told me these creatures aren't in Hawaii, but you can check it out by clicking the link below! Have fun!

A Letter From Lady Penelope About Contentment
Dear friends,
Some ideas aren't meant to be shared, and that's exactly what my pure sweet little one plans to do. She can't share them all with you right now due to content that may be too sensitive for younger viewers, but what I can tell you is that she's keeping them all to herself, wheras other sensitive content such as those from Fritz The Cat and the films featured on that god-forsaken After Midnight block just keep on coming through.
Now my friend is always thinking up new ideas. And a few? She'll share right now. In fact, she told me to share them with you. First and foremost, she has ideas inspired by Alan and Tin Tin wearing their white Polo jumpers - in these stories, they're cuddling her toddler self so much their musings reveal they always play at being sheep and lambs with her when they are wearing them. Another story idea features dear little Orko from the 2002 He Man series joining Furaha's street gang and having fun around town. Finally, there's a Robot Dreams inspired idea concerning my stay at the apartment of an abandoned girl in Britain during the popularity of Thunderbirds. And if you aren't alone, there's an all new Bluey series that's better than its Cookalongs show, named Fancy Restaurant. Go on, take a look:
Speaking of Bluey, I bet you haven't noticed the new piece of art KBee Coral put up on her Instagram page. It's a picture of all the future Heeler children wearing those darling Halloween costume - and Snowy looks so adorable with her white fur and little pink nose. In fact, my favourite kind of rabbits are white ones with little pink noses. Kittens looking like this are my absolute favourite too - I'm always gentle to animals and children. Especially my little one - she's always thinking up new ideas.
My darling little one will have more new ideas in the future. But for now, keep on creating!

Diary - The Softness And Peace Of A Mountain Friendship
Brains, Alan, Tin Tin and I were fast asleep in a pile of furs in a mountain cave. It was kind to our skin, and not too itchy or irritating. Outside our mountain cave, we could hear pure mountain water flowing gently. The mountain atmosphere was peaceful and soft.

Camomile Tea Journal - Softness Of Man - Following Mummy Everywhere
During the soft, gentle stone age, my toddler self followed Lady Penelope across the rocky plain towards the peaceful steam vents. I was fascinated by the steam rising up from them, and it kept us nice and warm, especially when the cold wind blew around us as we are very far away from the meadow where we live.
Camomile Tea Journal - Brains In The Desert
Brains was on his own in the desert, enjoying the wonderful silence of being alone in a place where he can truly be himself. However, he was feeling lonely and in need of some company, but then Tin Tin, Alan and I snuggled up beside him when he was going to sleep near an oasis.
