Slips and Trips Hoof and Safety with Nuzzle and Scratch

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there were two alpacas from

the Andes called Nuzzle and Scratch.

They worked for the Two By Two Animal Agency.

Well, "worked",

might not be exactly the right word.

And things didn't always go according to plan.

Stop, Nuzzle, stop!

That seems to have done the trick. Ha ha.

Their hearts were in the right place,

and they muddled along in true alpaca fashion.

And what would you like?

-To be hairdressers.

-Or astronauts.

But what happened to Nuzzle and Scratch? Where are they now?

-Well, viewers, they're still out there.

-Yay!

And they're about to begin their toughest and

most important job ever.

Thousands of hopeful Safety Rangers

are queuing up to be chosen for CBeebies' very own Safety Hoof Camp.

But with only two places, we have to choose the best.

Who will they be?

Nuzzle and Scratch?

Safety is fun.

Together with their new boss, the super safe Miss Mulberry,

Nuzzle and Scratch are busy at work

in state-of-the-art Hoof Camp safety training

head quarters in a top-secret location.

Their mission - to learn about safety

and help keep you safe, too, and to earn a few rosettes along the way.

Welcome to Nuzzle And Scratch's Hoof And Safety.

# Here we are - Nuzzle and Scratch

# Best by far - Nuzzle and Scratch

# Oh, we're alpaca Safety Rangers

# Protecting you from dangers

# No two others can match Nuzzle and Scratch

# Nuzzle and Scratch! #

Da da la-da-1a da da-da-la-da da-da-la da da da da da...

Madam Blueberry.

It's Mulberry.

-Miss Mulberry.

-Yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyhow, sorry we're late.

Yeah, sorry. We had to make sure

Norris was safe for his journey.

Ooh, well done, boys.

Yes, he certainly looks very safe.

But why is he wearing wings?

He's the Hoof Fairy.

Can we get a rosette, Miss Blackberry?

Boys, boys, boys, boys, you know you only get a safety rosette

when you've been on one of my special missions.

So, do you think you've got what it takes

to tackle trips and slips?

-Bring it on.

-That's a Safety Ranger talking.

I'm only doing my job, ma'am.

I think it's time for a Safety Rangers' hoovie gathering

at the televisual communications monitoring device.

Oh, right. Televis...com...what?

-What does she mean?

-I don't know.

That's the TV, boys.

Oh, the TV, hoovie.

-Why didn't she say that?

-Of course it is.

-That's it.

-I like these seats.

-Settle in.

-Very comfy.

-All right boys?

-Yep.

-Yep.

Hey, cool Safety Rangers.

Whenever we use the stairs, we must remember to walk down

-the stairs carefully and hold onto the handrail.

-OK.

-Yes.

Uh-oh.

What's he doing?

-Oh!

-Oh, no! Cartoon Nuzzle. Oh, no!

Oh, poor alpaca.

Shiny floors can be slippery.

Walk carefully and don't run.

It's very important to put your toys away, otherwise...

Ouch! That looks like it hurts.

So, remember these simple things to stay safe at home.

OK, Safety Rangers, I hope you were watching carefully,

BUZZER SOUNDS

because that means it's time to be tested.

-Oh, no, tested? Oh! Oh!

-Oh! Oh! Mummy, Mummy, Mummy...

Boys, remember, I tell you every week that it's time to be tested,

then you run around panicking going, "Oh, no, tested!",

and I tell you that you get tested after every safety hoovie, and

then you remember that you really love it

and you start running around and dancing and singing happily.

Any questions, boys?

Well, um, just one.

-Something is following me.

-What?

That's your tail, Nuzzle.

Oh...

Alpacas ready...

hoovie steady, it's time to play...

..Name That Hazard.

One buzzer for you, Nuzzle, and one buzzer for you, Scratch.

Safety Rangers, I'm sorry I can't give all of you buzzers,

but you can use your voice to make a buzzing noise when you think

you spot a hazard, like this. Bzzzz.

Buzzz!

Buzz!

THEY BUZZ AND LAUGH

You see? Everyone can be a Safety Ranger.

OK, here we go.

BUZZER

-What's the hazard, Nuzzle?

-I know this one. Oh, wait a minute.

Oh, it's pairs. No, no. Chairs. Oh!

Stairs.

Very good, Nuzzle.

You got there in the end.

Now, stairs can be a hazard if you...

If you run down them instead of walking and don't use the handrail.

Groovy hoovie.

That's Safety Ranger teamwork at its best.

And did you spot the hazard?

BUZZER

What's the hazard, Scratch?

It's the shiny polished floor.

The very good, Scratch.

And the shiny polished floor can be a hazard if...

If you aren't careful when you walk on them and slip and hurt yourself.

I think that was teamwork, too, Miss Blueberry, which means Groovy...

Come on. Groovy Hoo...

Go now. Oh, missed it.

That's teamwork, boys.

-You go first.

-No, you buzz in.

Go first. BUZZER

What's the hazard, Scratch?

Leaving toys out after playing. Nozzle.

Yes, especially in places where you would not expect to find toys to be.

Someone could trip and hurt themselves.

Very good, boys. That's tip-top teamwork in action.

You spotted all three hazards.

Now I think we need to see some...

Groovy hoovies.

Go now. You missed it.

-ALARM SOUNDS

-The alarm!

Boys, that means it's time for Hoof Camp.

No sponge fingers until your training is complete.

Quick sticks, boys.

Hoof Camp.

Today, Nuzzle and Scratch, I have a little present for you.

BOTH: We love presents.

-Is it ear scrunchies?

-Is it sponge fingers?

Ta-da!

Oh! A doll's house.

Actually, Nuzzle, this is Norris's house.

Oh, I love what they've done with the decor.

I want to live there!

I mean, two alpacas and a doll's house.

What could possibly go wrong?

Right, boys, first things first.

Norris needs to get his safety gear on.

Perfect. Now, let's have a little look at these stairs.

Can you spot the hazard, Safety Rangers?

I'll use Norris here to show you.

Norris wants to go downstairs to play, but he's in quite a hurry.

Oh!

Oh, indeed, Norris!

Good job you had your crash helmet on.

Yes, it was.

But, more importantly,

we must never run on the stairs,

because it's very easy to trip

and fall down them.

He didn't use the handrail either,

Miss Blackberry.

Well spotted, Nuzzle!

It's very important to use the handrail when going down the stairs.

Naughty, Norris, you must walk carefully

and hold the handrail with your hoovies from now on.

I know I put them in here!

What are you looking for, Miss Friscoberries?

My a super-flashy flash cards.

Oh, you mean these old things?

Oh, no!

My super-flashy flash cards are now covered in super-fuzzy fur balls.

I think we'd better start again from Scratch.

-Oh, no.

-Uh-oh.

Oh why?

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?!

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?!

I'm waiting!

All right, let's start again from Nuzzle.

Hooray!

Only if you promise to learn today's Safety Time Rhyme.

-I promise.

-Right, listen carefully.

You too, Safety Rangers.

Here goes.

Shiny floors can make you trip,

so be careful not to run and slip.

Take it away, boys.

Shiny floors can make you trip.

Be careful not to run and slip.

Now you too, Safety Rangers.

BOTH: Shiny floors can make you trip.

Be careful not to run and slip.

By George, I think they've got it!

Norris has been very untidy.

He's left all his toys out after playing with them.

We would never do that, Mrs Noodleberry. Would we, Nuzzle?

-No, never, Scratch.

-Really?

Norris's mummy thought Norris had tidied up all his toys.

She wasn't expecting one of them to be lying in the middle of the floor

when she came into the room and she tripped over it and hurt herself.

Poor Mrs Norris!

Norris, you should have put all your toys away

and then this would never have happened.

That's right, Scratch.

And whilst we're on the subject,

I hope you boys remembered to put away all of your toy... Aagh!

Oh, no! Oh, Miss Strawberry, are you OK?

Yeah. You really should be careful not to fall or slip.

You might hurt yourself.

-An easy mistake to make for a beginner.

-Yeah.

-Norris.

-Where are...?

-Look at his little house.

Yes, it's time to pick an alpaca. Which one will it be?

Will it be Nuzzle, the fluffiest alpaca in town?

Or will it be Scratch, the scruffiest alpaca in the world?

Let's find out!

-Pick me.

-Pick me.

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-No, please, Pick me.

I'm going in! Ha-ha!

Safety Ranger Scratch,

you have been picked for today's very important Safety Mission.

Yes, let's go. See you later!

Not so fast!

You need to know what your mission is.

Oh, yes.

Your scrummy Safety Mission

is to find a very tasty sponge finger somewhere in the house.

-And remember to look out for the hazards.

-OK.

Nuzzle, your job is to stay at Hoof Camp HQ

and guide Scratch through his mission

with the use of this walkie-talkie.

Whoa! Walkie-talkie.

-Walkie-talkie.

-Wow.

Let the mission begin!

Testing, testing, one, two, testing.

Nuzzle, are you there?

Roger, Roger.

Who's Roger? No, it's not Roger.

-It's Scratch.

-Oh, sorry.

You look like Roger from here. Where are you and what can you see?

I'm in a hallway.

-I think I am upstairs.

-Good stuff.

Now, can you see the sponge finger?

-No.

-How about any of those safety buzzer things?

-Hazards, Nuzzle.

-Oh, yeah. Hazards.

Sorry. Right, keep all eyes peeled

for the first hazard while I have a look at this map.

I will, old bean. I'm going to need your help, too, Safety Rangers.

Shout out if you see a hazard about.

Right, Scratch.

-Take three paces.

-Ok.

One, two, three. Whoa!

I've found the hazard, Nuzz. Stairs.

What was that thing about stairs? Nudge, I need help.

-I'm at the top of the stairs.

-Well, don't worry, Scratch.

Let's think.

Ooh, the handrail, Scratch.

Of course. Always hold the handrail when using the stairs.

And never run.

And never run.

Here we go. OK, going down the stairs holding the handrail, yeah.

-HE HUMS A TUNE

-Ooh...

Alpaca walking down the stairs safely.

Attaboy! Now on to hazard number two.

The map says the next hazard is really close. Can you see the hazard?

-No.

-Can you see the hazard, Safety Rangers?

But I can see the sponge finger!

No, stop, Scratch!

Don't move a muscle. Stay right where you are.

What are you standing on?

Um... The floor.

What kind of floor, Scratch?

Oh, um... A shiny polished floor.

Oh, no. I need help.

The Safety Time Rhyme!

Come on, Safety Rangers, let's help Scratch out.

Shiny floors can make you trip.

Be careful not to run and slip.

Shiny floors can make you trip. Be careful not to run and slip.

So remember, Scratch, no running.

Now, there's one more hazard, Scratch.

I can almost taste that sponge finger.

Saying no more, Nuzz, I'm on to it.

Sponge finger, here we come!

Whoa! Can you see that, Nuzz?

I sure can.

If you hadn't spotted the hazard,

you might have tripped and hurt yourself.

Well, we don't want that, Nuzzula, no, no.

I shall tidy up.

Very good. You get an extra point for that, Scratch!

Piggy go, piggy... Football.

OK, all clear.

Oh, Blah blah.

Very good, Scratch, you did it. But did you get the sponge finger?

HE LAUGHS

Yum yum!

Da da-da!

Well done, Scratch!

You completed your mission.

I did indeed, Miss Raspberry Beret, but really it was teamwork.

I couldn't have done it without my good friend Nuzzula here.

I hereby award you, Nuzzle, and you, Scratch, with your advanced

slip and trip avoidance rosettes.

Time for that sponge finger eh, Scratch?

Mmm, mmm. Oh, yeah, now, about the sponge finger,

I couldn't find it any... Whoa! Oh, no!

What have you done with the sponge finger?

-I didn't eat it.

-Why did you eat it?

Smile, boys!

-I didn't eat it...

-That is not fair.
