That theme tune has brought back memories! I must have seen it at school, which is odd as usually a programme that wasn't preceded by the ITV Schools Roto or a Yorkshire Television frontcap wasn't shown, by virtue of simply being too modern.
First thoughts were Earth Warp, which was repeated in 2004/5 on the CBBC channel.

That's Tiny Planets. I Want a similar show with a UFO which was live action.
That doesn't sound much like Tiny Planets. They had a sofa, not a spaceship, and never explored Earth. It's possible msim has conflated it with something else, but I wouldn't presume to declare what he's thinking of based on that description.
Could be The Experimenter if it was live action.
I do recall another series which had two CGI aliens viewing everyday life on Earth from their spaceship but I don't know what it was called.

Having tried Broadcast for Schools, this is the closest thing I could find. There's not much detail but it was only shown on BBC NI.

As great as Aquila was (and no doubt still is), the TV show was more drama cum sci-fi than educational. Okay the big UFO thing that they flew around occasionally went through buildings and walls but didn't really hang around "discovering how things work".

That's not related to Noseybonk is it? Also. I don't think it was earth warp. It was a similar show that aired around 2003 on Cbeebies.
I Don't really know if it was Earth Warp or not. The UFO i saw in the show had a Toddler to Child-Like intelligence. It was non verbal and extremely curious. I Really think it was from the makers of Big Cook Little Cook.
Also i think it might have the letter ''Z'' in it's title. It had some CGI effects that were also in Big Cook Little Cook. Mainly 3D Objects that were displayed against a background. Like ''what instruments do we need to make this cake or for the band?''
Had to edit because i realized I Triple-Posted. Which is not allowed on any forum.
This is the first thing that came to mind, from Channel 5's Havakazoo.

Big Cook Little Cook is (or was) an in-house BBC Production, it would appear. Doesn't really narrow it down.
Having looked down the list of BBC children's programmes off Wikipedia, and your recollection that it has a Z in the title, narrows it down to... absolutely nothing that aired between 2000 and 2003 as a new series. Therefore it can only have been a repeat you saw.
Was it Space Pirates by any chance? That is set on a UFO, it aired on CBeebies but dates from 2007.
Of course the other option is that it was a film you saw.
