Pens, Doors and Soggy Paws 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.

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, viewers, they're still out there.

Yay!

They're about to begin

their toughest and most important job ever.

Across the country, 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 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 alpacas, Safety Rangers

# Investigating dangers

# No two others can match Nuzzle and Scratch. #

Nuzzle and Scratch! Hoof and Safety.

SHE HUMS

Hi, Miss Mulberry.

Check me out. I am king of the Safety Rangers.

What, what. Hello.

I'll take those, thank you very much.

If you want one of these little beauties, you will have to spot

the three hazards in today's safety mission.

And today, my furry hazard hunters, you'll be learning all about

hazards in the home.

-In the home? What?

-Things like electricity.

Eleccy-whatsy?

Electricity.

Oh, don't worry, Nuzzle, it'll all be explained in the Safety Hoovie.

Come along, boys, let's go over here. Quick as you can, Nuzzle.

-Coming.

-That's it.

-Are you comfortable, Scratch?

-Yes.

There we go. Are we ready?

-Yes.

-Yes.

Hey, cool Safety Rangers.

Home sweet home.

Where every Safety Ranger loves to have fun with friends.

Look, Nuzz, they're colouring in.

Oh yes, that's a picture of you, Miss Mulberry.

And what a fine picture it is, too.

Always put your pens down before you run around.

If you trip and fall holding a pen, you can really hurt your eye

or someone else's.

Let's play hide-and-seek.

Coming! Ready or not!

Never put your fingers or hoovies near the edges of doors. Ouch!

They can get trapped.

That's the safe way to do it, guys.

Ha ha, found you.

I think they should all probably have a little sit-down now.

They've earned it, with all that drawing and hide-and-seek and so on.

TOILET FLUSHES

Oh, haven't you forgotten something?

Oh, yes. Very good.

Lots of things around our house run on electricity.

Eleccy-whatsit?

It gives power to your television,

the lights, and even some of your toys.

But, remember, wet things do not mix with electricity.

Oh, dear.

So, always, always dry your hands after washing them

before you ever press a switch or button. Let's see that again.

Always put your pens down before you run around.

after washing them before you ever press a switch or button.

Oh, look, they're watching us.

Yeah, I've seen this one.

So, Safety Rangers, those were some of the hazards around the home.

And now, it's time for your test.

Test?

-Oh, no.

-Should we just have a quick game of ping-pong?

No. It's time for your test on the Safety Hoovie.

You get to press some shiny red buzzers.

We do?

Yes, boys, you do.

A test is really fine.

-With a brain like his or a brain like mine.

-We try to do our best.

Or just take a lucky guess.

Ping-pong.

Who will buzz the quickest?

Who has got the fastest hoof?

It's time to play Name That Hazard.

-Ready on your buzzers, boys?

-BUZZ!

Ready. BUZZ!

-Ready.

-And Safety Rangers at home, you can buzz in, too, with your own

loud "bzzzzz" noise if you think you find a hazard.

So, here we are in our happy home.

But can you spot the first hazard?

-Oh.

-BUZZ

Too many pens and not enough hooves?

BUZZ No. That's not it. I know, I know.

Yes, Nuzzle.

Don't run around with pens in your hands because if you trip...

-..they can poke you.

-Ow, ow.

-Thank you, don't poke me.

-Sorry.

Well done, Nuzzle. That's right.

On with the test.

BUZZ

Miss Mulberry, that door is a hazard.

Well done, Scratch.

But do you know why?

Yes. The door can shut and trap your fingers, or hoovies,

so keep them well away.

Well done, Safety Rangers.

Two out of three so far.

Let's see if we can spot the last hazard.

BUZZ

Er, I remember, it's that funny long word, Nuzzle. You know the....

Um. Oh, electricy, whatsy, thingy.

Yeah. Electricity. Yes. Electricity and wet things don't mix.

Excellent work, Safety Rangers.

You spotted all three hazards.

Groovy hoovies.

-Er, no, go and go again. Oh.

-KLAXON

-You know what that sound means, boys.

-Dinner's ready?

No, Nuzzle. It's time for hoof camp.

Safety Rangers, let's hoof up. Hoof up? What am I saying?

Hoof camp.

Now, to help us with today's hoof camp, boys,

we have a very special guest.

Special guest?

Yes. I'm going to go and get my smart fur on.

Ladies and fur balls, let me introduce

Poppy the balloon alpaca.

But it's a, it's a, it's a balloon.

Madam, may I have the pleasure of this first dance.?

# Lady In Red... #

You're so full of air.

Do you think you might like a nice skiing holiday with me this year?

Have you ever skied before, Poppy?

Like I said, Poppy's not real, she's just a balloon.

Now, pay attention, alpacas.

Poppy is holding a pen and she's doing a spot of drawing.

-Anything wrong with that?

-No, no,

it's safe and fun.

Absolutely posi-hoovely.

Is the picture for me, Poppy my sweet?

But now Poppy is going for a trot and she's still holding the pen.

No, be careful, Poppy, you might trip.

Argh! Argh!

Poppy, are you all right? Your eye looks really sore.

Oh, don't worry, Scratch, she's only a balloon.

But did you spot the hazard?

Yes, we should put those pens down before we run around.

Yeah, they can poke our eyes or get stuck in our nose

and if we trip, they could really hurt.

Excellent work, Safety Rangers.

-And well done, Poppy.

-KISSES HER

Now, pay attention, Safety Rangers.

When I use this door with Poppy, I want you to shout out "Safe"

or "Unsafe", and you can join in too.

Here we go.

-Safe.

-Very good, Nuzzle.

Now, how about this time, boys?

Poppy is waiting by the door while I shut it.

Yay! Unsafe! Unsafe!

Poor Poppy.

Well done, Scratch.

Poppy had her hoof too close to the door, but it's all right

because she's only a balloon and so nobody got injured.

Imagine if this was your hand or your hoovie.

You could be really hurt.

Now, here's a safety rhyme to help you remember

the hazards of wet and electricity.

Make sure you're as dry as can be, before you turn on the TV.

Can you remember the rhyme?

Say it with us, Safety Rangers.

Make sure you're as dry as can be.

Before you turn on the TV.

Correct. You remembered all three hazards. Your training is complete.

-Groovy hoovies.

-I got to do the hand, you've got to give me the hoovie.

Oh, I've got my cards in my... oh. Sorry, Scratch.

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.

-No, pick me.

-Mine.

-Pick me.

-Me. Pick me.

-Pick me.

I'm going in.

Safety Ranger Scratch,

-you have been picked for today's very important safety mission.

-OK.

You must go into the house and spot

the three hazards we've learned about today, and then collect the

secret sponge finger and return to the safety pen. Are you ready?

Ready, Safety Sergeant, sir!

Nuzzle, it's your job to guide Scratch safely through his mission.

Are you ready?

-Yes, miss.

-Well, in that case, let the mission begin.

Looking out for hazard number one.

Receiving you loud and clear, Scratch.

And can you help us look for the hazards too, Safety Rangers?

Oh.

I've just got time to make a get-well card for Poppy.

Scratch, stay focused.

You're supposed to be hunting hazards, not colouring in.

You're right. I've got to find some hazards.

What, wait a minute, Scratch. You're still holding on to your pen

and I'm sure that's something to do with...

Come on, Poppy, don't just sit there, help me spot the hazard.

Hang on, that's it. Scratch, put your pen down before you run around.

Wow, thanks, Nuzz. Got it.

Phew, that was a close one, Scratch.

Today's mission is really difficult.

I can't spot another hazard anywhere.

Oh, well let me take a closer look.

I can see a hazard.

Can you?

That's right, Safety Rangers,

Scratch's fingers are too close to that door frame.

Well done.

Scratch, that's the hazard.

Thanks everyone, that was close.

Now I can safely close this door.

Scratch? Scratch?

Where have you gone?

I can't see you. TOILET FLUSHES

Oh, hello. Sorry about that but, you know,

when you've got to go, you've got to go.

Oh, well hurry, Scratch, it's time to find the last hazard.

OK, Nuzzle, can I just wash my hoovies properly?

There we go.

Somebody's left the TV on! Tut-tut! What a waste of electricity.

Hey, we know a rhyme about that, don't we? How does it go?

Make sure you're as dry as can be before you turn on the TV. Whoa!

My hoovies, I forgot to dry them.

Well done, Safety Ranger Scratch.

I knew I could rely on you.

Mission accomplished.

And when you get back there's a sponge finger with your name on it.

Oh yeah, just doing my job, ma'am.

Dry, dry, dry. Dry all of them.

BLOWS NOSE

Ha ha.

There we go. One alpaca returning to base.

-Great work, Scratch.

-Yes, indeed.

Nice job, Safety Rangers.

And here are your domestic protection

and senior hoof washing rosettes.

It means we're as safe as houses.

A great team effort, everybody.

And here's someone who'd like to say a very special thank-you, Scratch.

Oh, Poppy.

Poppy, Poppy, I did it all for you, my balloon lady friend.

Oh yeah, and a free sponge finger, of course. Ha-ha.

What sponge finger?

What do you mean, you can't eat?

# You have to be safe You have to be safe

# You have to be safe when you're about

# You have to be safe, you have to be safe, you have to be safe

# You have to be safe, You have to be safe

# You have to be safe I'm finding out

# You have to be safe You have to be safe

# You have to be safe. #

-Nuzzle and Scratch.

-Hoof and safety.
