| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to The Week Junior Show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Eve and Joe from the Week Junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14-year-olds. |
| 0:13.6 | This week, the team will be talking about Gnomes at the Chelsea Flower Show, a unique new car upgrade in China and weather beaches should ban sun loungers. |
| 0:22.7 | Now make sure you're listening closely, because at the end of this episode, we'll be asking |
| 0:26.4 | your question about what you've heard. And if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize. |
| 0:31.0 | But more on that later. In this week's magazine, there is a story about a town in Italy |
| 0:35.5 | that's been overtaken by peacocks. So I was wondering, |
| 0:38.6 | of course, what's an animal you would like to see living in your neighbourhood? Eve, how about you? |
| 0:44.3 | I would have to go for giraffes. I love giraffes so much. I think they're so cute. |

| 1:18.7 | It would be like, I don't think this TV show's on anymore, but 64 Zoolane, which I used to watch when I was a kid, where the giraffe would pop its little head in to the girl's bedroom window. |
| 1:32.2 | I mean, that's quite fun, isn't it? |
| 1:34.5 | Yeah, that's a good one. |
| 1:35.5 | Joe, can you top metaphorically, of course, a giraffe? |
| 1:39.3 | I'm not sure. |
| 1:41.3 | My animal that I quite like to see in the local neighbourhood is raccoons, |
