The Whoo Wack Iconicles

# Let me take you to a world that I've seen

# My best invention the Iconi-Screen

# They're friends and animals The Iconicles

# So come along with me and I'll tell you more

# Iconicles

# There's Rumple and Miss Moo Splish and Splash and Skitter, too

# I'll show you their worlds The Iconicles

# I just can't wait for you to meet them all

-Ho-ho!

-Ha-ha!

-He-he!

# Iconicles Iconicles. #

Done! Brilliant!

Oh! Hi, there. This is my latest invention.

I bet you can't guess what it does. I'll give you a clue.

These are my favourite walking shoes.

Cleaning all this mud off would normally take ages.

That's why I invented the Shoeshine 3000!

You pop one of the dirty shoes in here, then you close the door,

switch it on, and seconds later a sparkling-clean shoe pops out here.

It would be great to have a friend help me test it out.

# With a wave of my hands Let's explore

# Wonderful lands never seen before

# The Iconi-Screen, my most amazing machine

# The I-I-I-I-coni-Screen

# Wild wilderness Around the garden bench

# Down on the Farm and by the Water's Edge

# Guess which Iconicle is coming to play

# Can you guess which world we'll visit today? #

Now, this is where the fun really begins.

Ah! Yes! How about Splish and Splash?

I'm sure they'd love to help me test my invention.

BOTH: Wh-ee-ee-ee!

BOTH: Wh-ee-ee-ee!

THEY GIGGLE

-Hi, Splish! Hi, Splash!

-Hi, Nat.

-Hi, Nat.

I wondered if you two would like to help me test my new invention.

-We'd love to, Nat!

-Excellent!

-A nice bit of shade.

-I can hear voices.

-Is somebody here?

-No. They're coming from the Iconi-Screen.

Let's see what's going on before we test my invention.

It's Curly and Elvis. I wonder what they're saying?

I love to much on carrots. They're good for my teeth. And so crunchy!

Oh! Carrots are too much trouble to pull up at my age.

Juicy grass is my favourite nibble.

Will you be quiet, please?

There are ducks here, namely me, trying to sleep.

Sleep? But it's nearly lunchtime.

Dapper? Is that you? You look terrible!

Your quiff looks a little...droopy. Hee-hee-hee!

Huh! Even the most handsome duck would look droopy

if somebody was going around making strange noises,

waking them up every time they dropped off to sleep.

Strange noises?

It sounds like this.

Whoo-WHACK! Whoo-WHACK!

I've been hearing that noise every night for the past week.

And I've not had a wink of sleep since it started.

Every night? I've not heard a loud noise.

If you didn't hear it, maybe it was YOU making the noise!

Oh-ho-ho!

Me? This is the first time I've been near the duck pond all week.

And, anyway, I was sleeping in the top field all last night.

What about you, Elvis?

Me? I never go to the duck pond at night.

So, where were you last night, Elvis, exactly?

Well,...

it's hard to say exactly where I was because...I was asleep, you see.

Honestly, Dapper! Elvis was sleeping in the top field with me.

Neither of us made the whoo-whack noise.

If Miss Moo made her usual bedtime check,

she'll tell you where we were.

Right. Let's go and ask her, shall we? Follow me.

Waah!

-Are you following me?

-Yes. Just like you told me to.

I've got me eye on you, Elvis.

Don't worry, Elvis. Miss Moo will sort this out.

Coo-ee! Miss Moo-ee!

Hello, Curly, Elvis, Dapper.

What can Miss Moo do for you?

Someone is making a terrible noise outside my nest every night.

Whoo-WHACK! Whoo-WHACK!

I've been hearing that noise every night for the past week.

Someone is doing it on purpose to keep me awake.

So, was it you that came creeping into the duck pond last night,

Miss Whoo-whacker Moo?

MISS MOO LAUGHS

-Eugh!

-Oh, Dapper! You are so moo-staken!

It wasn't Miss Moo, Elvis or Curly.

They were asleep in the top field all night,

and I was asleep in the barn.

-But...but...

-But have no fear.

Miss Moo will help you find out who is making the noise.

Now, if it wasn't any of us, who could it be?

-Who likes to play tricks?

-Of course! It must be Bryn!

He's always playing tricks! Take me to Bryn.

He must be the whoo-whacker. Giddy-up!

-Whoo-whack! Ha-ha! Whoo-whack!

-Whoo-whack!

GIGGLING

That's a pretty good impression, Splish. It is a strange noise.

I wonder what it is. OK. Time to test my new invention.

SPLISH AND SPLASH GIGGLE

It's called the Shoeshine 3000.

It makes dirty shoes as clean as new.

BOTH: Oh!

I'll show you how it works.

You take one dirty shoe and place it in here.

Close the door and press this big red button, here.

Splish, would you like to start it up for me?

Yes, please!

WHIRRING

Wow!

GIGGLING

It's worked!

This walking shoe was muddy and now it's clean.

GAMES ALARM

Hey, it's time to play Spot the Iconicle. Do you want to play?

Come on.

Did you spot the hen down on the Farm today?

Err...

Oh! I think I saw the hen next to the stable door.

Let's see if you're right.

Follow me.

There's the hen.

Oops.

Aw, unlucky, Splash.

Did you get that right? If you did, well done.

OK, you two.

Time to use the Shoeshine 3000 to clean the rest of my muddy shoes.

I'm faster! Race you!

How about this muddy football boot?

BOTH: Eugh!

Can I press the button this time, Nat? Please!

Of course!

WHIRRING

Yay!

Great!

BOTH: More! More! More!

The big one, there!

Eugh! Yucky!

This is amazing!

WHIRRING

BOTH: Three, two, one... Yey!

GIGGLING

Excellent!

Clean again!

MACHINE WHIRRS THEN IS SILENT

It might be overheating a bit.

Tell you what, why don't we take a break from shoe cleaning?

-Aw.

-Oh.

And go and see if we can find out who is making

those whoo-whack noises down on the Farm?

BOTH: Yes, please!

Oh, hello. Juicy apples.

Maybe I'll have just one teeny-weeny apple.

Ah! Bryn can't be far away now.

So, trying to hide were you? Mr Whoo-whacker!

Hee-hee! Mr what?

Don't pretend you didn't do anything. I know what you've been up to, Bryn.

Oh.

Maybe I did taste a little weeny apple or two,

just to see if they were ripe enough to eat.

I told you! Bryn is the whoo-whacker!

No, I'm not!

What is a thingy-whacker?

A strange noise is keeping Dapper awake at night.

But I'm asleep all night!

Don't worry, Bryn. I'm sure it's not you.

What? But it must be him! Or one of you.

There's nobody else it could be.

Apart from...

ALL: Err...

MISS MOO SIGHS

She has a beak, feathers, stays awake all night.

She's an owl!

Err...

-ALL: Jasmine!

-Yes! Oh, goodness!

Without Miss Moo, what would you all do?

-So Jasmine is the whoo-whacker.

-I didn't say that.

Well, not in so many words, Miss Moo, but I'm running out of suspects.

Suspects? I thought we were helping.

WHIMPERING

Why have we stopped?

Listen.

WHIMPERING CONTINUES

Woo! Perhaps we should all go back outside now.

Very interesting. Miss Moo will investigate.

Aaa-aa-aa-aah-ATCHOO!

Eugh. Sorry, everyone.

I've got terrible sneezes.

SNIFFS

So it was you making the annoying noise

that's been keeping me awake all night.

Noise?

It sounds like the wind blowing through the barn shutters.

HOWLING WIND

And the whack of a kicked bucket.

CLANG

And you think I've got nothing better to do than make

silly noises like that?

But owls are awake when everyone else is asleep, so it has to be you.

The only noise I make at night is the occasional t-wit and t-woo,

thank you very much.

Dapper, you've asked us all if we made your sound

and we've all said no.

It's almost as if you don't trust us.

I'm sorry. I do trust you. I'm so tired.

I need to sleep and, every time I do, the whoo-whacker appears to wake me.

What can I do?

Don't worry. Tonight we'll all help you discover the whoo-whacker.

Hmm. So Jasmine didn't make the whoo-whack noise.

I'm sure Detective Dapper will find out who did.

I hope so for his sake. That duck needs his beauty sleep.

GIGGLING

I want to make adjustments to the Shoeshine 3000.

I'll get tools from the crazy cupboard. See you in the workshop.

OK, Nat.

GIGGLING

I wonder what would happen if we put

something else inside to clean, instead of shoes.

Let's try that pot of coloured thingies.

OK, Splish.

GIGGLING

Now put them inside and close the door.

Oh!

Let's push more buttons and see if we can make it go faster.

OK.

It's going faster...

-And faster...

-And faster...

And faster!

BOTH: Uh-oh!

I think it's broken.

It's because you wanted the coloured thingies inside, Splish.

No. It broke because you wanted to push different buttons, Splash.

It was your fault. BOTH: Your fault!

-Splish?

-Shh! Nat's coming.

-Splash?

Grr!

Ah. Oh, there you are, Splish. Where's Splash?

-Don't know, don't care.

-Ah, have you two had a row?

-Hmph!

You know, you won't solve anything by turning your back on it. Mm.

Maybe Splash could give me some answers.

Splash?

-Splash! What's going on between you and Splish?

-Hmph!

If you tell me what the problem is, I might be able to help.

-No, wait, Nat, it was Splash!

-What?! It was Splish!

-Ooh, ow!

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stop blaming each other and tell me what's happened.

We tried to clean something different from shoes

in the Shoeshine 3000.

That's not a problem, I'll just press the reset button.

Hm. Eh? Ah.

My paintbrush pot. What's happened to all the paintbrushes?

-Sorry, Nat. We put them inside, too.

-All of them. Sorry.

We didn't mean to break it.

Ah, well. At least I know what I'm looking for,

I might be able to fix things more quickly.

First, I need you both to promise you won't touch anything

without asking me - it may be dangerous.

-Understood?

-Er.

-Er. Er, er... Um...OK.

Good.

Now, while I'm fixing the Shoeshine 3000, why don't we all

go and see if Dapper's found his mystery whoo-wacker yet? Come on.

Right, everyone,

I want you all to listen out for Dapper's strange whoo-whack noise.

And if you hear it, tell Miss Moo at once.

-Baa!

-Hoo!

-Quack!

Tonight, I'm going to catch the whoo-whacker, whoever you are!

Ha-ha-ha...ohh!

He really DOES need to sleep, doesn't he?

We need to split up into two groups and listen for the noise.

Bryn, Curly and Elvis in one group,

Jasmine, Miss Moo and Dapper in another.

Now, split up and stay alert!

Ha! I'm staying right here and I'll be awake the whole time,

so that none of you can play a trick on me!

HE YAWNS

Huh! I'm awake! I'm a...wake.

-(There's no sign of it yet.)

-Perhaps we should trick it into coming out.

Whoo-whack!

Oh! There it is! Perhaps we should trick it into coming out!

BOTH: Whoo-whack!

-Listen! It's the whoo-whacker.

-Ohh!

-It's coming from over there!

Oh, dear.

Whoo-whack!

Oh! There it is! This way.

-Whoo-whack!

-OK, on three, we all pounce.

-I can't pounce.

Whoo-whack!

One, two...

-Leave this to me.

-..three!

ALL: Oof!

False alarm, everyone.

-Whoo-WHACK! >

-That's the whoo-whacker! Ha-ha!

Miss Moo will solve the mystery!

Whoo-whack! Whoo-whack! Whoo-whack!

THEY ALL LAUGH

Whoo-whack! Oh! There it is! There it is!

-Which one of you made that terrible noise?!

-Dapper, you silly duck.

It was the one person you didn't suspect - YOU!

-Me?!

-ALL: You snore!

Really?! I do? Oh. Oh, dear.

I am really very sorry for suspecting

one of you was the whoo-whacker.

-That's all right, Dapper.

-Quite enjoyed myself, really.

-I was awake anyway.

-No harm done.

Miss Moo suggests that, in future, you use these.

-Thank you, Curly.

-Pleasure.

What for?

To make yourself some earmuffs, so you can't hear yourself snoring!

THEY ALL LAUGH

So, Dapper was blaming everyone else

when HE was to blame for the whoo-whack noises all along.

Sound familiar?

Splash, I'm sorry I blamed you for breaking Nat's invention.

-It was just as much my fault, too.

-I'm sorry too, Splish.

I was wrong to blame you for all our mistakes.

Good. I'm Glad you both decided to share the blame.

OK, I think I've fixed the Shoeshine 3000.

-BOTH: Yay!

-Let's see, shall we?

SPLISH AND SPLASH LAUGH

-Right, let's test it out.

-Great!

SPLISH AND SPLASH: Three, two, one. Yay!

Wow! This is amazing.

My invention cleaned the boot, AND changed its colour.

It's turned turquoise.

It appears your mishap with the paintbrushes

didn't do much harm this time.

Next time, wait for me before you invent something.

-Yes. Sorry, Nat.

-Nat? Why don't we try putting another one in?

-How about the other football boot?

-Great idea, Splash.

Hm.

I wonder what colour it will be, Splash.

SPLISH AND SPLASH: Ready...

orange!

Oh! The boot's all clean, and turned orange!

BOTH: Again! Again!

-Let's try it with the other walking shoe this time.

-Brilliant!

THEY LAUGH

-SPLISH AND SPLASH: Whee! Blue!

-Huh!

BOTH: More, Nat, more!

-SPLISH AND SPLASH: Three, two, one. Wow!

-Look at all the colours!

It's like a rainbow!

Oh! This is an amazing new invention.

-It changes the colour of shoes and boots.

-Nat, you're so clever!

I can't call it the Shoeshine 3000 any more. Oh! I know!

I'll rename it - the Colour Changer 4000!

-Did we make a new invention, Nat?

-I think you did.

When you put in the paintbrushes,

that changed the invention into something better!

-Well done, you two!

-THEY GIGGLE

Hey! Want to help me with another invention?

It would be fun, but we should get back to the Water's Edge.

-HE YAWNS

-It's getting late.

THEY LAUGH

-Bye for now, Nat.

-See you soon!

-Bye!

THEY LAUGH

Whoa!

-See you soon!

-BOTH: Bye! Whoo-hoo!

THEY ALL LAUGH

And I look forward to seeing you again soon, too. Bye for now!
