Young voices say, THE DAY HENRY MET…

(Bells)

The voices say, …A BATHYSPHERE!

(Children laughing)

(Trumpet music plays)

Henry and a woman with red hair walk towards a movie studio. Inside, Henry walks past sets of lights towards an orange bathysphere.

Henry says, HELLO, BATHYSPHERE!

The bathysphere says, HELLO, HENRY!

Henry asks, HOW ARE YOU TODAY, BATHYSPHERE?

The bathysphere says, I'M GREAT, THANKS, HENRY.
TODAY IS OUR FIRST DAY
OF FILMING A MOVIE
ON THIS BRAND-NEW SET
SO EVERYONE HERE IS VERY
EXCITED. SAY HELLO, CREW!

The lights, a camera and a director’s chair say, HELLO, HENRY!

Henry says, HELLO, EVERYONE! AND WHAT KIND OF
FILM ARE YOU MAKING?
WE'RE FILMING A SUPER-DUPER
DEEP SEA ADVENTURE MOVIE HENRY!

Henry says, WOW! I'VE NEVER MET
A REAL MOVIE STAR BEFORE!
BUT WHAT IS A BATHYSPHERE
EXACTLY?

The bathysphere says, I'M A VERY SPECIAL
KIND OF DEEP SEA VEHICLE, HENRY.

(Dramatic music plays)

The bathysphere turns on his lights.

He says, WITH MY 8CM THICK WINDOWS
AND SOLID STEEL WALLS.
I CAN TAKE PASSENGERS
ON AN INCREDIBLE 9KM JOURNEY
STRAIGHT DOWN
INTO THE CRUSHING OCEAN DEPTHS.
THAT'S DEEPER
THAN MOUNT EVEREST IS TALL.

Henry says, WOW! YOU MUST'VE SEEN SOME
AMAZING THINGS
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN?

The bathysphere says, I'M AFRAID NOT HENRY. I'VE BEEN
TOO BUSY WORKING ON MY ACTING SKILLS.
IN FACT, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
TICK OFF A SINGLE THING
IN MY TRUSTY SEA LIFE SPOTTERS'
CHECKLIST.

The bathysphere tosses Henry a checklist.

The checklist says, HELLO, HENRY!

The bathysphere groans.

He says, ONE OF THESE DAYS,
I'M GOING TO DIVE
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
FOR REAL INSTEAD OF JUST ACTING
HERE ON THIS FILM SET.

Henry says, WELL, THERE'S NO TIME
LIKE THE PRESENT.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT A SHOT!

The bathysphere says, OH I'D LOVE TO HENRY…

The checklist hops back inside the bathysphere.

The bathysphere says, …BUT I'D NEED
A MARINE BIOLOGIST WITH ME TO DO THAT.
THAT'S A SPECIAL SCIENTIST WHO
STUDIES LIFE UNDER THE OCEAN.
WITH THEIR HELP, I’M POSITIVE
I COULD TICK OFF EVERY BOX
IN MY TRUSTY SEA LIFE SPOTTERS’ CHECKLIST.
IF ONLY THERE WAS ONE AROUND!

Henry says, THAT GIVES ME A GREAT IDEA,
BATHYSPHERE!
I COULD BECOME
A MARINE BIOLOGIST
AND WE CAN TRAVEL TO
THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
AND LOOK FOR ALL THE THINGS
IN YOUR TRUSTY SEA LIFE
SPOTTERS' CHECKLIST TOGETHER!

Henry stands in the bathyspheres open hatch. The bathysphere rests on a ship with a crane in the ocean. Henry wears a red winter hat and blue shirt.

The bathysphere says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!
NOW HOP ABOARD, CLOSE THE HATCH,
THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE AS
I HAVE TO BE BACK ON SET LATER.

Henry hops in the bathysphere and closes the hatch.

Henry says, WILL DO, BATHYSPHERE. WILL DO!

The crane lifts the bathysphere off the ship and lowers it into the water. Henry holds the two controls in the bathysphere. Colourful fish look at the bathysphere.

Henry says, WOW! IT SURE IS BEAUTIFUL
DOWN HERE, BATHYSPHERE!
AND LOOK AT THAT AMAZING-LOOKING
FISH OVER THERE!

A large pink fish swims past the bathysphere.

The fish says, HELLOOOOO!

The fish swims away.

The bathysphere says, WELL-SPOTTED, HENRY!
THAT'S A SUNFISH
AND IT'S THE FIRST THING
ON OUR LIST. TICK IT OFF, QUICK!

Henry ticks the sunfish off the check list.

Henry says, THAT'S ONE DOWN,
PLENTY MORE TO GO!
BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN,
HERE WE COME!

Henry stirs the bathysphere downwards. The bathysphere dives down further in the ocean.

Henry says, HELLO, GIANT SQUID
WRESTLING WITH A SPERM WHALE!

The bathysphere travels past the giant squid and sperm whale. The squid has its tentacles wrapped around the sperm whale and tickles the whale. The sperm whale giggles.

The squid and the whale say, HELLO, HENRY!

Henry checks off giant squid and sperm whale from the list. Three shrimp admire an anglerfish’s light.

Henry says, HELLO, SHRIMP!
HELLO, ANGLERFISH!

The shrimp says, HELLO, HENRY!

The anglerfish says, HELLO!

Henry dives past the shrimp and anglerfish. The angler fish chomps at the shrimp. It misses and chases after the shrimp. The shrimp shriek. Henry checks off shrimp and angler fish from the checklist.

Henry says, HELLO, HYDROTHERMAL VENT!
HELLO, YETI CRABS!

The hydrothermal vent and yeti crabs say, HELLO, HENRY!

The bathysphere dives past the hydrothermal vent and yeti crabs. Henry checks them off the list. The bathysphere stops diving.

The bathysphere says, YOU'RE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.
THERE’S JUST ONE LAST THING LEFT
ON THE LIST -
WE NEED TO FIND A STRANGE
UNDISCOVERED SEA CREATURE…

Henry circles the question marks on the checklist.

The bathysphere says, …BUT TO DO THAT,
I THINK WE'LL HAVE TO DESCEND
INTO THE DEEPEST, DARKEST MOST
UNEXPLORED PART OF THE OCEAN -
THE SUPER-DUPER
TRENCH OF DOOM!

Henry says, WELL, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR,
BATHYSPHERE?
DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!

The bathysphere dives even deeper into the ocean. It reaches the bottom of the ocean.

Henry says, HERE WE ARE, BATHYSPHERE!

The bathysphere lands on the bottom of the ocean.

Henry says, THE BOTTOM OF THE TRENCH!
BUT...I CAN'T SEE A THING!
IT'S PITCH BLACK!

The bathysphere says, YOU'RE RIGHT, HENRY. WE'LL NEVER
FIND A STRANGE UNDISCOVERED
SEA CREATURE IF WE CAN'T SEE.
TRY TURNING ON THE FLOOD LIGHTS.

Henry turns on the flood lights. Light blasts out from the bathysphere. Giant colourful sea creatures swim around the bathysphere.

(Bubbling)

Henry and the bathysphere scream.

They both shout, STRANGE UNDISCOVERED
SEA CREATURES!
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

Henry and the bathysphere quickly shoot up from the ocean floor. They pass the hydrothermal vent and yeti crabs.

Henry says, BYE BYE, YETI CRABS!

The yeti crabs say, TOODLES!

Henry says, BYE BYE, ANGLERFISH!

The bathysphere passes the anglerfish.

In a flat tone, the anglerfish says, BYE!

Henry says, BYE BYE, SPERM WHALE!

The bathysphere passes the giant squid holding the sperm whale.

The sperm whale says, GOODBYE!

Henry and the bathysphere speed upwards through the rest of the ocean. They’re lifted out of the water and onto the ship by the crane.

Henry says, PHEW!

Henry opens the hatch to the bathysphere.

He says, BACK AT THE SURFACE,
SAFE AND SOUND!

The bathysphere says, AND NOT A STRANGE UNDISCOVERED
SEA CREATURE IN SIGHT!

The colourful giant undiscovered sea creatures burst up from the ocean water line. Henry and the bathysphere shriek.

The pink sea creature says, SORRY, HENRY!
SORRY, BATHYSPHERE!
WE DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YOU.

The orange sea creature says, IT'S JUST THAT WE DON'T GET
MANY VISITORS.

The green sea creature says, AND YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS
GAVE US AN AWFUL FRIGHT.

The blue sea creature says, WE WERE JUST WONDERING IF YOU'D
LIKE TO SEE OUR SYNCHRONISED
SWIMMING ROUTINE.

Henry says, IT WOULD BE OUR PLEASURE!

The bathysphere says, WE DID IT, HENRY! WE REACHED
THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN,
COMPLETED MY GUIDEBOOK...

Henry holds up the guidebook. He checks of the last item on the list.

The check list says, WELL DONE, HENRY!

The bathysphere says, ...AND MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS
ALONG THE WAY. WELL DONE!

Henry says, THANKS, BATHYSPHERE!
BUT I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT
WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
NOW LET'S GET THIS SYNCHRONISED
SWIMMING STARTED!

Everyone shouts, HURRAY!

Henry sings, THE DAY HENRY MET
A BATHYSPHERE.

Everyone sings, HE LAUGHED ALONG WITH EVERYONE.

The giant squid swims beside the bathysphere underwater. The sperm whale swims past.

Henry sings, THE DAY HENRY MET
A BATHYSPHERE.

Underwater, the giant sea creatures do their synchronize swimming around Henry and the bathysphere.

Everyone sings, HE MADE LOTS OF
FRIENDS AND HAD SO MUCH FUN.

A woman calls, HENRY!


Henry says, THAT'S MY MUM CALLING ME,
BATHYSPHERE.
I BEST BE OFF.
IT WAS REALLY NICE MEETING YOU!

The bathysphere says, THE PLEASURE WAS ALL MINE,
HENRY,
AND THANKS FOR HELPING ME DIVE
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
AND FIND THE THINGS ON MY TRUSTY
SEA LIFE SPOTTERS' CHECKLIST.

Henry says, YOU'RE WELCOME AND
GOOD LUCK WITH THE FILM SHOOT!

The bathysphere says, BYE BYE, HENRY!

Henry says, BYE BYE! I'M COMING, MUM!

Henry leaves.

The bathysphere winks.
