Try A TriangleThe ZingZillas have come up with a really upbeat Big Zing which celebrates Drum's drumming. They think the song is great. Over the balcony in Todd's garden, though, they notice Todd wearing a pinny just like the ones the Beach Byrds wear. He can't stop to talk because he's off to work at the Coconut Hut.

Todd is master of ceremonies and quickly starts the show with a whack on his big gong - everyone, including Auntie Dot, shakes.

There is no time to worry though because the ZingZillas are up first. - Aloha FlowerE6
Aloha FlowerZak offers to look after DJ Loose's Aloha Flower for the day. So DJ explains that an Aloha Flower needs two things, plenty of shade and plenty of water to keep it healthy. Zak takes the Aloha Flower and leaves it in the shade in the Clubhouse, but forgets to keep it watered. The ZingZillas gather in the Glade to hear Beats of Polynesia, a Hawaiian group. Meanwhile, the sun has moved and as it shines directly on the flower, the flower wilts. DJ is due to get back soon so in a panic Zak snatches up the Aloha Flower and dashes off to hide it. He hides the flower, but Todd discovers it. Todd persuades Zak to water the Aloha Flower. Zak does so and it immediately starts to perk up. Zak remembers that was the other rule! Keep it watered! He dashes back to the Coconut Hut with the Aloha Flower just as DJ arrives. - The Golden CoconutE7

Banana BluesIt's early in the morning and Zak is still fast asleep. DJ Loose introduces Tang, Panzee and Drum to Stuart Zender who is playing slap bass guitar. The ZingZillas love the tappy, slappy sound and DJ explains the technique is called slap bass because of the way you slap the guitar strings with your thumb. With a bit of practise Panzee plays slap bass too and she can't wait to play it to Zak. - Tang's Photo AlbumE9
Tang's Photo AlbumIt is the Big Day Off on ZingZilla Island. There's no Big Zing so Panzee decides to go to play on the beach, Drum decides to play in the jungle and Zak decides to have a sleep in the Clubhouse.

It makes Drum want to dance too so Panzee finds her a tutu to wear. - Panzee's Poorly KneeE11

Still hurting she sings It's Not Bad To Be Sad. When the song is finished the others decide she needs to sit down and take the weight off her knee. Zak and Tang go to and ask DJ for advice.

The Red ButtonTodd is playing skittles in the garden and having knocked them all over he is keen to show Drum his new invention which will automatically stand the skittles back up. All he has to do is press the big red button. However when he does so Drum sits down and the skittles don't move. Todd realises that he has invented a sitting down machine rather than a standing up machine. Drum thinks the machine is great fun and while Todd's back is turned she rushes off to have some fun with it around the island. They head to the glade where they watch Matt Gooderson playing keyboards and making lots of sounds and music with lots of different switches and buttons. Drum loves it and wants to press buttons to make sounds in the Big Zing. Todd rushes off to invent something with sound-making buttons on it. - Trombone TroubleE13
Trombone TroubleThe ZingZillas hear a cool new sound coming form the glade and go to check it out. DJ loose introduces them to Chris Lowe who is playing the trombone.

Luckily the trombonist lends him his spare trombone and DJ tells him to take good care of it. However Zak and Panzee get so excited about having a go on the trombone they end up pulling it apart. Neither of them realise that the slide is meant to come off and think they have broken it. Instead of telling the truth to Tang and Drum, Zak hides the broken trombone in a bush and tells them he's given it back to the trombonist to polish. - Panzee's Wish StallE14

Zak and Tang are astonished - Panzee can make wishes come true - just be rubbing her ear! Panzee decides she is going to make everyone on the Island's wishes come true and she heads off. In a jungle clearing nearby Panzee sets up a wish stall but she discovers that she can't actually make wishes come true.

Meanwhile the ZingZillas have gone into the jungle, found the cinema and are ready to watch the film. Todd, the projectionist tells them they are going to watch their favourite Big Zings.

Making a ChoiceThe ZingZillas listen to Jonathan Mayer who is playing the sitar. They love the way the strings make a bendy sound and Drum suggests they create a sitar Big Zing. The stories in his comic have given Zak lots of ideas but he can't decide which one to sing about. Todd can't decide what to paint. Over at the Coconut Hut Tang and Panzee can't decide what drink to have either and back in the Clubhouse Zak still can't decide what to sing about. They realise they should sing all about making choices - after all they've had difficulty choosing all day! - The Singing BowlE19
The Singing BowlThe ZingZillas are practicing The High Notes and Low Notes Song. Zak sings all the low parts and Panzee sings the high part. But she can't reach the highest note.

It is the perfect note for the song, but where is it coming from? Drum races off to find out. Meanwhile Zak and Tang sit with Drum in the Glade and watch Frank Perry play notes by tapping bowls around him. It is the perfect sound for the Big Zing. Back in the jungle, Todd gets out his Noise-A-Tron - a device that detects which direction a sound is coming from. - HomeE21
HomeDJ Loose reminisces about how he used to go on tour when he was in a band. He explains that going on tour is a bit like going on holiday. Panzee and Zak think the ZingZillas should go on tour too. As luck has it there is ship about to leave the bay and so they'd better get a move on. They love the idea of leaving the island and even decide to do the Big Zing on the boat. They rush back to the Clubhouse to tell the others. But Tang is none to thrilled about going on tour - he thinks he'll really miss his island home.
