0:00.0	Hello, everyone. I'm Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon, and I'm just popping
0:04.4	in to tell you about my new book series, Witchway to Anywhere. It's a story about four children
0:10.0	who discover that there are alternative worlds beyond our own, and that they can travel to them
0:15.3	with the help of a magical map and a very special gift. Of course, this leads to epic, unexpected
0:21.9	adventures. Witchway to Anywhere, and its sequel, Witchway Round the Galaxy, are both available
0:27.5	to buy now. Happy reading! Hello, welcome along. If you're looking to search around the universe
0:34.5	to discover some of the science secrets lurking nearby, you've come to the right place. My name's

1:31.0	and we need to try and get along and cooperate. Also, we'll take some time away from this planet and
1:37.1	head to deep space high, the smartest school in the solar system, and we'll look down at the Earth
1:43.8	to see how and why it moves. Planets moving all sorts of ways you might not realise,
1:50.7	like under your feet. It's a mad muddle of movement down there. Come on, let's see for ourselves.
2:01.2	And I've got your questions, as always, this week. They're on bugs and bones. It's all on the
