Dive, Dive, Dive Iconicles

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

# My best invention, the Iconi-Screen

# They're friends and animals Iconicles

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

# Iconicles

# There's Rumple and Miss Moo

# Splish and Splash and Skitter too

# I'll show you their world The Iconicles

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

# Oh-oh I-I-Iconicles

# Iconicles. #

There, that should do it. Oh, good to see you. Like my new drum kit?

Yeah, me too. Not that I can play it properly.

You see, I've agreed to play in my friend's band.

He wants me to play drums.

I should have told him I can't play, but I didn't want to let him down.

And now I'm in trouble because I have to play tonight.

I may not be a good drummer, but I am a good inventor. Da-da!

This is the Drumbo 250. It's a drum machine.

I'm hoping it'll teach me the song I have to play tonight.

I have to put in the name of the song and copy what it plays.

DRUM MACHINE PLAYS A TUNE

I don't think I've got the hang of it. I need some help.

And I know where to find it. Come on!

# With a wave of my hand, let's explore

# Wonderful lands never seen before

# The Iconi-Screen my most amazing machine

# The I-I-Iconi-Screen

# Wild wilderness surround the garden hedge

# 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.

A drummer needs rhythm, but they also need lots of energy.

Who do I know that has that?

-Skitter! He's got lots of energy.

-Ooh.

Wa-hey!

Wa-hey!

Hey-hey!

Weee! Yay!

-Hey, Skitter, how are you today?

-Busy, busy. You know me, always busy.

Lots to do.

-Ooh, what's these?

-Drums. I have to learn how to play them by tonight.

-Drums keep the beat in a piece of music.

-Ah, is this a drum too?

-No, that's a machine I invented to help me.

-Mmm.

DRUM MACHINE PLAYS A TUNE

DRUM MACHINE SQUEALS AND STOPS

Oh no. Sorry, Nat. I'm sure I can help.

Perfect. Grab this, Nat. Nice, I like it.

And the saucepan over there.

Even better. And what about this can? I like it!

Hey, Skitter, this looks just like my drum kit. This goes here.

I think we need a few more cans. That yellow one goes there.

-Green one there. Skitter, you've got your own drum kit.

-Brilliant.

Ooh, I like it!

SKITTER PLAYS A TUNE ON THE DRUMS

-Wow, that's great.

-Hey, what's that?

Oh, it's snow. Hey, it's snowing at the water's edge.

SPLISH AND SPLASH GIGGLE

Weeee!

That made us so dizzy!

Again. Ready. One, two, three, go!

Weeee!

Wind, north, north-westerly. Visibility, crystal clear.

-Uh-oh! Too fast.

-What? Oh!

BOTH: Sorry, Scotty! Sorry!

# Ay-ay-ay, watch me twist and watch me twirl. #

-Weee!

-Argh!

What was that?!

And now, Salty, the world famous diving seal

will attempt his most famous Salty the seal, brilliant dive.

-Please cheer after...

-Salty! Sorry, Salty!

Check this out! Woah! Weee! Wooo!

Wow, that was the best dive ever.

Best? I can do way better than that, dudes.

-No way!

-Yeah, way.

-My best dive is the triple turn with the walrus wriggle.

-Ooh.

-Could you show us, Salty?

-Showing you is too easy.

-How about I teach you?

-Yes, please.

-Are you both old enough?

-Ah-ha.

-Big enough?

-Ah-ha.

-And brave enough?

-Brave?

Sure you are. OK, let's go!

-Low, middle or high?

-Low, middle or high what?

-Diving board.

-Low.

-Middle.

-Huh?

-Low.

-Middle.

-Say again. BOTH: High!

Now, that I understood. OK, follow the seal. That's me.

BOTH: But, Salty...

-After you, Splash.

-No, after you, Splish.

-Come on, dudes.

Splish and Splash look pretty nervous.

Trying something makes you nervous. You don't want to look silly.

I think they should tell Salty how they feel.

Skitter, I have to tell you something.

I'm quite nervous too about playing the drums.

-I don't think I can do it.

-No, you'll be just fine.

What you need is a break from drumming.

Games alarm! We can play a quick game and then get back to drumming.

Spot the Iconicle. Are you ready to play?

Do you remember where you saw the starfish today?

I'm sure I saw a starfish jumping out the way of the snowball.

-Let's see if Skitter's right.

-No, wait.

I saw it at the bottom of the ice cliff. That's it!

Check this out! Woah! Weee! Woo!

-Wow, that was the best dive ever.

-Best...?

-Yes, well done, Skitter, you're right.

-Yes, yes, yes.

Now we've had our break, you need to teach me how to drum.

Let's go, go, go!

All you have to do, Nat, is copy me.

Right, OK.

OK, time for plan B. These coloured drums give me an idea.

Skitter, we don't have much time.

And what are you doing in my kitchen?

Bananas? Skitter, what?

Tomatoes.

Kiwis.

-Oranges. Skitter, this isn't helping.

-Yes, yes, yes.

The fruit will help me turn you into a drummer.

-How?

-I'll explain.

You need to match the colour of the fruit to the colour of your drums.

So, put a banana on the yellow drum and an orange on the orange drum.

And a kiwi on the green drum and a tomato on the red drum.

-Done.

-When I hop once by the yellow banana, you hit the yellow drum once.

If I hope twice, you hit it twice.

Got it. I do the same when you hop behind every piece of fruit.

-Exactly.

-Sounds good, partner.

Kiwi, two hops. Orange, four hops.

Banana, three hops.

Orange, four hops.

-This is magic!

-Shall we go faster?

Wa-hey! Ho ho! Here we go. Wee-hee!

-Ha-ha!

-Oops. Sorry.

-Nat, you'd better get that back.

Hey, Skitter.

I wonder if Splish and Splash told Salty how nervous they were?

This is very high.

Oh! Too high.

-Everything OK back here?

-Everything's fine.

-Great.

We'll be at the top soon.

-Are you scared of being so high?

-Are you?

-Only if you are.

-Me too.

-Come on, Splash.

-OK, Splish.

Hello, world!

Splish, now I'm up so high, I don't feel very brave.

I feel more like a big jellyfish than a little bear.

-Do you think Salty knows?

-OK, are you ready to dive?

-BOTH: Ready...

Cool. This reminds me of a dive I did at your age. It was exciting.

-My first big dive and I was so, so...

-Scared?

-Fantastic. As ever.

-Oh...

-OK, let's get ready.

-We'll need to stand right on the very, very edge.

Like this.

-Are you dudes OK?

-Just cold.

-Right, let's get you warmed up a little.

To do my triple turn with a walrus wiggle,

you have to push your arms out and up

like you're having a big morning stretch.

Then you need to bend down and touch your toes before you dive.

Then, as you fall, you need to open out like a starfish.

All the way down there. Pull you paws in and splosh, you hit the water.

THEY GULP

-Easy peasy. Ready?

-Mm-hmm.

-Mm-hmm.

-Then let's do it!

Splish, Splash, where are you?

You won't find them here, Scotty, I haven't seen them all morning.

Carmen, count yourself lucky.

Those two cubs sent me flying into a snowdrift earlier.

They are naughty little bears and so funny.

That may be, but they need to learn to be more careful.

It could be dangerous.

-Scotty, look ups!

-Look ups?

-Ay-ay-ay!

-What?

-Splish and Splash!

-Oh, my, now that IS dangerous.

-It's far too high for such small cubs.

-You must rescue them.

-Don't worry, I'll stop this. Chocs away!

-I hope Scotty is not too late.

Hurry!

Nothing to worry about. Scotty will save the day.

But can you save me from being the worst drummer ever?

Yes, yes, yes. Of course I can and there's no time like the present.

Here we go.

-Hey hey!

-OK, tomato...

-Banana, one, two...

-Wa-hey!

-Kiwi.

-Hey, hey!

-It's getting faster.

-Wee-hee!

-Stop, stop, stop!

-Sorry, I got carried away.

-Ha-ha!

Let's take a break.

I know what. We've forgotten all about Splish and Splash.

Let's see if Scotty's saved them.

-Ready, steady...

-Stop!

Woah! Ah! Ooh!

-Nice moves for a puffin. Now, where was I? Oh, yeah, go!

-No!

-Nobody is going anywhere.

-Chill, Scotty.

-We're all doing my triple turn dive.

-With a wiggle walrus.

These bears are too small and too scared to dive from here.

-Scared, they can't be. Can you?

-Well, we weren't scared down there.

Exactly. Down on the ground is different to being this high up.

-Am I right?

-BOTH: Mmm-hmm.

You should have said, guys, it's no problem.

Let's go back down before somebody has an accident.

BOTH: Weee! Weee!

Hey, cool moves, dudes. Check this out.

-Woah, weee! Woo!

-Wait for me.

-Hey, where are the cubs?

-I was just about to ask you that.

-Weee!

-Ay-ay-ay!

-Look out below!

CUBS GIGGLE

Sorry!

-Are you both all right?

-Yes, thank you.

We're happy to be back on the ground.

Hey, forget the diving lessons,

I think you two need some skiing lessons first.

What we need are stopping lessons!

THEY LAUGH

-Oh! Oof!

-You're not the only one.

-I'm fine. Just fine.

-BOTH: We're sorry.

-For what, dudes?

-For not being brave enough to dive.

-Not brave enough indeed.

-Of course you were brave. Extremely brave if you ask me.

-But how? Why?

Because you admitted you were scared.

I remember when I was a young chick, my friends wanted me

to test out my wings by flying from a high ice cliff.

-Were you scared?

-Very and I told them so too.

And do you know what they did?

They took me to a lower perch where I felt safe

to test out my wings and it was great fun.

-So we were brave to tell you we were scared?

-Very brave indeed.

-If you're brave, how do you fancy going for a dive?

-Hmm... What?!

High, middle or low?

-BOTH: Low.

-Great choice. The lowest diving board it is.

Let's rock and roll.

I suppose they won't get up to any mischief on the low board?

Not at all. Well done, Scotty. My hero.

Me, I'm not so sure. Well, perhaps you're right...

THEY LAUGH

-I can do way better than that, dudes.

-Let's go. Wa-hey!

BOTH: Yeah!

Ta-da! How about that for a dive? Hey, where did everyone go?

Here we are.

Safe and sound.

THEY LAUGH

Splish and Splash should have spoken up.

Maybe you should tell your friend you can't play the drums.

-Won't he think I'm silly for not saying so before?

-No.

He'll be pleased you told him the truth.

Nat, where are you going?

I'm going to call my friend and tell him I can't play the drums.

-Hi, it's Nat. I've got some bad news.

-Go for it.

I can't play the drums. Yeah, I'm absolutely hopeless.

What's he saying?

He thanked me for letting him know

but said there's not going to be a gig after all.

The guitarist is ill, the gig's been cancelled. Hold on, I play guitar.

-It's my best instrument.

-Oh, yes!

If I play guitar, who's going to play drums?

Er, what about your drum machine?

I've got the perfect drummer right here. Once I fix it.

OK, I'll see you at the gig later. Bye.

Give me some beats, Skitter.

I can't wait to play at the gig later.

First things first. You've got to fix the Drumbo 250.

And I need to get home and find some supper. See you, Nat!

Good luck with the band.

Thanks for everything, Skitter.

It's silly to pretend you can do something when you can't.

Yes, yes, yes. See you later, Nat. Hey!

-Bye, Skitter.

-Bye, Nat.

I'm so glad I owned up to my friend that I couldn't play the drums.

Now, how to fix this. I'll see you next time. Bye.
