On the Buses Hoof and Safety with Nuzzle and Scratch

Once upon a time, not so very long ago,

there were two alpacas from the Andes, called...

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's done the trick!

Still, 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, they're still out there...

BOTH: Yay!

..and they're about to begin their toughest and most important job.

Across the country, thousands of hopeful safety rangers

are queuing up to be chosen for CBeebies' safety hoof camp.

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

Who will they be?

Nuzzle and Scratch?!

BOTH: 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 Headquarters

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

# Investigating dangers

# No two others can match Nuzzle and Scratch

# Nuzzle and Scratch. #

Vroom, screech! Vroom!

I love buses. Going up hills, down hills, left and right!

Vroom, vroom! Ding, ding!

Oh, stopping soon, madam, vroom, vroom.

-Round the bend!

-SCREECH

Oh! There's my very good friend, Nuzzle.

Norris, now here's some sponge finger for you.

And here's some for me.

Now, don't forget to...chew, chew!

Coo-ee! Nuzz! Hello!

Oh, no! No, Nuzzle! Don't go in the road!

Not on the road! No-o-o-o!

Ah! Ah! Ow!

Oh, Nuzz! Poor bussy, bussy. Are you OK, bussy, bussy?

Norris, are you OK? Poor Nozzy, Nozzy.

Ching, ching, boys!

Ooh, it looks like today's Safety Mission has pulled up just in time.

Ding, ding!

Today, we are going to learn all about buses.

Now before you get on board, it's time for a...

-BOTH: Safety hoovie!

-That's right. Come along, boys.

Vroom!

Come along, boys. That's it.

All settled?

-Reverse in.

-Vroom, vroom, vroom.

Whoa! OK, got it.

Hey, cool Safety Rangers.

Buses

Buses.

Buses.

They're great, aren't they?

Yes, they are! Vroom!

Whenever you wait for a bus, stand well back from the road.

Wait until the bus has stopped before you get on or off.

-Look out!

-Heh-heh.

Bus.

Beep, beep.

Sit properly and hold onto something to make you nice and safe.

If you have nowhere to sit on the bus, hold on tight.

We don't want you falling!

I'm driving.

Well done, that's the way to do it.

Let's see that again.

Whenever you wait for a bus, stand well back from the road.

Wait until the bus has stopped before you get on or off.

Sit properly and hold onto something to make you nice and safe.

If you have nowhere to sit on the bus, hold on tight.

We don't want you falling!

Well done! That's the way to do it.

That all looked very easy. Norris and I will be fine on a bus.

Come on, Nozzy. Let's catch ourselves a big one, eh?

Not so fast, Nuzzle.

Let's see what you've remembered from the safety hoovie as we play

Name That Hazard.

KLAXON WAILS Oh! Oh, no!

Shush, shush, shush, do not worry.

I shall try and find the hazards for you.

Come, Miss Summerfruit, test me! Test me!

You can catch me! Catch me!

But, Nuzzle, I test you after every safety hoovie.

-You do?

-I do. And you love it.

-Oh, well, in that case, Miss Mulberry,

-test us.

-Like we've never been tested before. What, what, what?

Boys, remember to ding if you see a hazard.

Now let's play Name That Hazard

DING DING DING

Hazard! Hazard, Miss Strawberry Cheesecake.

Scratch, the film hasn't started yet.

I know that, Miss Raspberry. Your pointy pointer is pointing!

-You could poke your eye out if you're not careful.

-That's true.

-I'll be extra careful.

-OK.

-OK.

And you can "ding, ding", too, if you think you spot a hazard.

Run the film!

-DING DING

-Hazard!

-Yes, Scratch?

A bus is a hazard.

Well, it can be sometimes, but it's not always a hazard.

-Now, ding if you see when you need to be careful.

-OK.

-OK.

-Oh, oh!

-DING

Careful, stand back from the road.

Well done, Scratch.

Ooh, ooh! DING

And wait until the bus has stopped before getting on.

Wow, Nuzzle. Let's see if you're right.

Yes, you were right.

Now, anything else?

-Keep watching.

-OK.

-Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

-DING DING DING

The bus is full. Hold on tight, little child!

Excellent hazard spotting, Scratch!

Now look. There are some spare seats on the bus, so they can sit down.

but you must remember to sit properly and hold on tight.

-Ah, nice and comfy.

-Yeah.

-DING DING

Wait, little boy. You might fall. Wait until the bus has stopped.

Nuzzle and Scratch, I am so proud of you.

You spotted all three hazards.

Groovy hoovies!

-Go. Go now.

-No, you...

-No, you go.

Now, boys. I am sure you'll do just as well

on the next stage of our hoof and safety test...

SHE TRUMPETS

Hoof Camp!

Hoof Camp.

Now then, boys. Eyes down, chins up, up, up!

It's time to start your training.

Training? I thought we were doing bussing today.

-Beep beep, fares please.

-Yeah!

But training is just as much fun.

Watch. Woo-woo!

-Oh, yeah!

-Chuff, chuff, chuff.

-You're right. Training IS fun.

-Woo-woo! Tickets, please. All aboard.

-Woo-woo!

Boys! Boys!

Not train training! Hoof Camp training.

Look!

Oh, yeah, the model thing.

Now, here is the road,

here is the bus stop

and here is a bus.

-And here is Norris wanting to get on.

-Yes.

Norris can show us what to do.

Now then, boys. Are you ready? Let's start from...Nuzzle.

Why do you always start from Nuzzle?

You always say, "Start from Scratch".

Nuzzle says, "Why do you always start from Scratch?"

You say, "Let's start from Nuzzle."

You start from Nuzzle, always never start from Scratch always never!

He's right, you know.

Right. Well let's start from Scratch.

Thank you very much.

OK. Norris, stand well back from the road, please.

That's very good. Thank you, Nuzz.

And then the bus is coming. Beep, beep.

Wait till the bus has stopped. That's it. Then you get on.

Whoa! Whoa there! Scratch to Miss Mulberry.

I'm afraid Norris is too big for the bus. I repeat.

Norris, too big, for bus.

Not to worry. Look.

Oh. We're looking, but... what are we looking at?

Ah, yes. This is a mop and those are two chairs.

Let's pretend that the chairs are the seats on the bus

and the mop is the pole to hold onto.

No need for me to hold onto the pole, Miss Snozzberry.

I'm just going to take a little seat... WHOA!

No, I won't do that. Oh, OK.

It doesn't matter. I don't need to hold the pole.

-Look, no hooves.

-That's because the bus isn't moving, Scratch.

-Let's pretend the bus IS moving.

-OK.

-Oh, OK.

We're going along the road...

round a corner...

going this way and that.

Yeah. It's still easy, though. Look, no hoovies.

Whoa!

Hold on tight. That is a good idea. Thanks, Miss Mulberry.

I have a rhyme that might help you remember what to do on a bus.

Hold on tight, or your might...

-Have baked beans for dinner!

-..fall.

Yeah, yeah, OK.

-Hold on tight, or you might...

-Fall.

-Hold on tight, or you might...

-Fall. Oh, yay. Yeah.

By George, I think they've got it!

Now, the bus is slowing down.

It's stopping.

It's...stopped.

-Oh, can we get off now?

-Can I let go now?

-Of course you can, boys.

Very good work.

You see? I'm great at this, Norris.

Er...Norris? Norris! Where are you? Oh, where's Norris?

There you are, ha-ha!

Wait, Nuzzle! Imagine if that was a real road.

You must never go in the road to pick up anything you've dropped.

What if there were cars or lorries or a bus that was coming?

What should I do?

You should let your grown-up get it for you.

-But only when all the vehicles have passed.

-OK.

-Ooh!

-She's going to get Norris for me.

-She is.

-She's my grown-up.

-There you are, Nuzzle.

-Thank you, Miss Mulberry.

Now. I think it's time to pick one of you for your mission.

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

Will it be Nuzzle, the fluffiest alpaca in town?

Or Scratch, the scruffiest alpaca in the world?

Let's find out!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

-Pick me!

I'm going in!

Nuzzle and Scratch, you have done brilliantly with your training.

Now it's time to put your learning to the test.

Safety Ranger Nuzzle,

you have been hoof-picked to go on this very important Safety Mission.

You will go on a bus journey with me and you need to show me

all the things you should do.

-Scratch.

-Yes, hello.

-You must help Nuzzle from base. Is that clear?

All clear, Miss Mulberry.

Good luck, Nuzz, my old Nuzzula.

Thanks, Scratch.

He's such a brave guy.

You know, how I wish I were there with him, to hold his hoof.

Hee-hee!

Ooh! Hah. Hee-hee.

Well, here we are, Nuzzle. Ready to start the mission?

Ready, aren't we, Norris?

Oh, look! Here comes the bus now!

Ooh, standing well back.

Well done, Nuzz, you're standing back.

Wait for the bus to stop.

Ha-ha!

Ha-ha! Come on, Miss Mulberry. On you get.

I'm impressed, Nuzzle.

Very good work.

Ooh, ha-ha.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh. Well, there's only one seat so you sit down, Miss Mull of Kintyre

and Norris and I will stand.

-Now don't forget to sit nicely and hold on tight.

-Yes.

-OK.

Ha-ha. Nuzzle to Scratch. All going well. I repeat. All going well. Over.

Great, Nuzz. Don't forget the rhyme. Hold on tight, or you might...

You're breaking up. I can't hear you well.

-You're wearing tights?

-No! I said, hold on tight, or you might...

Oh, yeah! Hold on tight, or I might...

Huh? Eh...

Whoa!

-Ugh.

-Oh.

-..fall!

-Yes.

-Are you all right, Nuzzle?

-I'm fine.

I'm fine. I remembered.

I remembered. Just a little too...ah! ..too late.

Don't worry, Nuzzle. Just make sure you don't forget next time.

Now, I think we want to get off at the next stop.

-What do you have to do?

-Wait until the bus has stopped.

What's that, Norris? Oh, you want me to ring the bell?

If that's what you'd really like, I'll ask. Miss...

Of course you can ring the bell.

As long as you see your stop and want to get off.

We can't have you ringing the bell all over the place.

-Remember to keep holding on.

-OK. Ha-ha!

-Beep, beep.

-DING

Ha-ha. There. Just for you.

Come on.

Thank you, Mr Driver.

-Well done, boys. Good work.

-Ha-ha-ha!

Brrrrrmmmmmm. Beep, beep.

-Nuzzle.

-Yeah?

-I'm very proud of you.

Apart from that little wobble

when you remembered too late to hold on tight,

you behaved brilliantly.

Yeah, really good work, Nuzzula.

Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Miss Mulberry.

Or you, Scratch.

Or you, Norris.

Norris?

Nor... Norris!

I must have dropped you when I got off the bus.

Ahh!

Miss Mulberry, could you pick Norris up for me, please?

Of course I can, Nuzzle, but only when the coast is clear.

Clear, yeah.

-Yeah.

-Right.

-Here you are.

-Oh, Norris.

And here's something else for you, too.

Oh. Ha-ha-ha!

And here's one for Norris.

Oh, Norris gets a little rosette.

Ahh. What about me?

Oh, don't worry, Scratch.

You're a super-duper top trooper Safety Ranger, too.

Thank you very much. Brrm.

Hey! Hold on very tight!

Ding, ding!
