ZingZillas - CBeebies - BBC

Tang finds a twisty object covered in creepers, which may be perfect for the Big Zing.

A band of primate friends play music in their tropical island paradise. Todd is having a good sort out and Tang finds a twisty object which is covered in creepers.

Tang is intrigued by a twisty object which is covered in creepers and goes to show the others. Panzee thinks it looks like a twisty vase and would look lovely with flowers in it. When she asks if she can have it, Tang isn't so sure, but when Panzee offers to swap a banana for it, Tang says yes. 

Panzee is thrilled and heads straight off to look for some flowers over at the Coconut Hut. The Beach Byrds are also rather taken by the twisty vase - only they think it would make an excellent fruit bowl. They offer to swap some feathers for it and Panzee agrees. With feathers in hand Panzee joins the others and DJ Loose over at the glade. They watch a wonderful performance by oompah band, the Bavarian Stompers. 

The ZingZillas decide to do an oompah Big Zing. When DJ explains that this style of music is called oompah because of the sound the tuba makes, Tang suddenly realises that the twisty thing Todd gave him is in fact a tuba - not a vase or a fruit bowl. 

Tang really wants to play the tuba in the Big Zing, so he offers to swap the banana for the tuba, but the Beach Byrds aren't interested. Tang decides to look for something else that will make an oompah sound instead - Todd offers him the use of some bellows.

In the clubhouse, Panzee has been busy making oompah hats with the feathers the Beach Byrds gave her. Tang explains that he's going to try and use the bellows to make the oompah sound he wants for the Big Zing but when they rehearse the bellows just don't sound right. They really need the tuba back to make the Big Zing work, but the Beach Byrds won't swap. Panzee thinks they may swap the tuba for the hats she's made though...
