0:00:52 > 0:00:55OK, ready, go!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hang on a minute. It's my turn to go first.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- I won the last game. The winner goes first.- You went first last time.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Because I won the time before that. - Hmm.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- I think we should take it in turns. - We are. It's your turn, come on.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- I meant at going first. Snap!- No, it isn't.- Yes, it is, look! Two kings!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16OK.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Sn... - 'Ho-ho! Ho-ho!'
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Hold on, Sid. It's time.- Great!

0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Could it be me?- Could it be me?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It's me!
0:02:06 > 0:02:07# Yes, it's me!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09# Yes, it's me!
0:02:09 > 0:02:15# I'm really, really, really Really happy it's me! #
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Look, there's the dressing up room.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20# Let's play! #
0:02:20 > 0:02:22This is really exciting.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Let's find out what we're playing today.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Wow! I've got a firefighter's helmet, a caveperson's outfit
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and clown shoes?!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38That can't be right. Let's try something else.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48Wow! Now, this is more like it! So, what are we playing today?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Well, I'm wearing an outfit fit for a king!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We're going to play Kings and Queens.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Hello. I'm King Sid. I could get used to this!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, what do we need to know?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Royal palaces are very big and have many hundreds of rooms.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12A palace sometimes has a swimming pool, a helicopter landing pad,
0:03:12 > 0:03:16a doctor's surgery and even its very own post office.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The king or queen of a country is called a monarch.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Important people from around the world come to visit them
0:03:22 > 0:03:26and sometimes bring unusual gifts, even live animals.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30The animals are always given away to a nice safe home.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35When a monarch attends a posh dinner, people usually don't
0:03:35 > 0:03:40start eating until the monarch picks up his or her knife and fork.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45So, that's everything we need to remember. Do we need anything else?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Wow! A stick with lots of jewels on.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, I have no idea what this is for,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57but it looks pretty kingly to me. I'm sure it will come in useful.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00We've got everything we need. Let's go!
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- Rebecca, can you guess what we're playing today?- Wow!
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- Are you playing a prince? - No. I'm a king, King Sidney.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19- From now on, I'm in charge.- You most certainly are. You look amazing!
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- Very smart.- Thank you. Wish me luck. - Good luck, Your Majesty.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Come on, let's play Kings and Queens.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Whoa! Wee!
0:04:41 > 0:04:48So, where are we? Ah! This looks like a palace. But is it our palace?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Oh, look. Here comes a guard. Let's ask him.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Excuse me.- Yeah. - Can I ask you something?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Oh! Yes, Your Majesty! Your Highness!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I wasn't expecting a royal visit today.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- We're very honoured to have you, sir.- Yeah, hi.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Is there anyone home?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Yes, sir. Look at the roof, sir. - Right... I'm looking at the roof.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Looks like a roof to me. Why would I look at the roof?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Is the king up there? - The flag, sir. The flag is flying.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22In this palace, if the flag is flying,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24it means the monarch is at home.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- So the king is home. - No, the queen, sir.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29The queen's at home. Let's go and see her.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Thanks very much. - You're very welcome, Your Highness.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Any time I can be of assistance, Your Highn...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Oh. Oh, he's gone.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Oh, well. Never mind.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Excuse me again. Oh, sorry. You look exactly like...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54The...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Never mind.- I did not know we had a royal visitor today.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00How may I be of service?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Thank you. I was wondering how to get inside the palace.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- It's a very big place. - Yes, it is, sir.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09We have over 100 rooms in this palace.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13100 rooms?! Wow! What does the queen need all those for?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17There's one for eating, the dining room, one for sleeping,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21the bedroom, and one for watching TV, the TV room.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- I suppose there's one for standing around and thinking.- Yes, sir.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- The standing around and thinking room.- Oh.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- I suppose sir would be wanting to go inside?- Yes.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Sir would like to do that very much. - Well, you will find the queen inside.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- She's having her portrait painted. - Ooh, I'd like to meet the queen.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43If you just go through there, you will find her.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Have a jolly good stay now. - Everyone's so polite around here.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Thanks a lot. Bye-sy bye. - Bye-sy bye, sir.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Wow! Look at this place. Pretty fancy, or what?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Wow! These are great. Look at that vase!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Oh, hello, Mr Knight in Shining Armour.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I have to say, I'm feeling rather kingly in this royal outfit.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I wonder what's in here then. Probably loads more cool stuff.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Oh, hello. It's the queen.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Your Majesty. How lovely to meet you.- Ew, hellew!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Luh-ly to mee-you too.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Pardon?- I said, how luh-ly to mee-you too.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- I can't understand what she's saying.- I am sorry.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I can't move my lips because I'm having my portrait painted.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- I've got to keep awfully still. - Eh? Oh! Right!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46And relax, please, Your Majesty.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Oh! Thank you! That's much better.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Oh, jolly nice to meet you!- Hello.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I still can't understand you, though.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Oh, that's because I'm ver-posh! - Oh! Right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04- And who might you be?- I'm King Sid. - Jolly nice to meet you, King Sid.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09It's so nice to meet another royal person. One meets so few.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Yes. I must say, you're looking very nice with your crown and outfit.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Thank you ver-much.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19One has to look one's best when one is having one's portrait painted.
0:08:19 > 0:08:26One has one's orb. The trouble is one appears to have lost one's sceptre.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32- Sceptre? What's a sceptre?- Kind of like a wand. It's made of gold.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Just like one's jolly old orb here.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38The orb and the sceptre, they rather go together.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41And whilst having one's portrait painted,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45it's very bad form not to have them both.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Oh. Hold on.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I think this might be a sceptre. Yes, I think it is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Your Majesty, you can have this, if you like.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Really? Oh, thanks awfully!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- That's all right. There you go. - Oh. This is a good one, yes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Good sceptre.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm with Her Majesty now. Over and out.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Hello, Your Majesty. Sorry to bother you.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13How is the portrait coming along? Are you finished yet?
0:09:13 > 0:09:18No, she's still working on my head. I think I'll be here a little longer.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Oh. Oh, dear.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Oh, no. what seems to be the problem? Maybe I can help.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- And you are?- Sid.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- No, I don't seem to have a Sid on my list.- Try King Sid.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38King Sid?! Oh! Why didn't you say so, Your Majesty?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- How lovely to meet you. - Charmed, I'm sure.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The thing is, I have a whole list of official duties for the queen
0:09:46 > 0:09:49to do, all of which must be done today.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52And the queen can't do them, because she's having her portrait painted.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- Precisely.- OK, that's easy. I'll do them for her.- You?!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- I mean, "you", Your Majesty? Are you sure?- Yes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'm feeling in a kingly mood today.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, you can start off by doing the royal post,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10and then I have a couple of hundred other things for you to do.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- There's a lot to do.- If you'd like to get started on the royal post,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'll see you in a tick.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20The royal post?! I don't even know what that means!
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Where am I supposed to go next? I don't want to let the queen down.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Oh! Yes! I know!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I remember! Do you?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Sometimes palaces are so big, they have their very own post office.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39That's where we need to go. We need to find the post office.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- See you later, Your Majesty.- Hmm? What? Oh! OK! Thanks awfully!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Hmm, what a jolly nice chap!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Right, so this must be the royal post office.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Oh, she gets a lot of letters.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I haven't had this much post in my whole life.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01And this is just today's.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05So, you found your way here. Good, good.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09First, I need you to sign all of these birthday letters.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Right, OK. So she's sending all these ones?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Who gets a letter from the queen on their birthday?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Sometimes, people who are 100 years old are lucky enough to get
0:11:18 > 0:11:20a special letter on their birthday.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Oh! 100 years old! Wow! That's a lot of candles on your birthday cake!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- < Special delivery! - Oh, no! What now?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- I wonder what that could be. - What on earth is this?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oops.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41One parrot. Now who on earth would want to send something like this?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It says it's from the president of Birdland.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47His name is Henry, and he likes to eat birdseed.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Who's a pretty boy, then?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Good morning, Your Highness. - Oh! He talks!
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Nice crown, Your Highness. - Ha-ha! Brilliant!
0:11:58 > 0:12:03A parrot! What on earth are we going to do with this now?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08Oh. Well, a parrot is a nice gift. But a queen doesn't need a parrot.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13What are we going to do? Oh, I know! I remember, do you?
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Important people sometimes give unusual gifts to a monarch,
0:12:18 > 0:12:19even live animals.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22But they're given away to a nice home where they'll be taken care of.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- That'll be nice, Your Highness. - All right, Henry.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27We'll find you a nice home.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31No, a parrot. Not a carrot!
0:12:31 > 0:12:35You can take it? Great! That's wonderful news!
0:12:35 > 0:12:40I'll send it right over. And maybe I'll send over some carrots!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Hello?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- So what's the news?- The bird sanctuary have a home for a parrot.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50They were looking for one of just this type.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Especially a talky little bird like you!- You look lovely, Your Highness.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- I'm going to miss you, parrot. - I'm not sure I will.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02That voice is going right through my head.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Well done, King Sid. You've done a royally terrific job.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Thank you. - It's coming up to one o'clock.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- I think it's time for the royal banquet.- Yummy!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I'm looking forward to some tasty treats!
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Maybe they'll have some carrots!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20PHONE RINGS
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Hello?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28So then the parrot said to me, "Nice crown, Your Highness!"
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- It was so funny! - And was it?- What?- A nice crown?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Yes, it was the one I was wearing,
0:13:35 > 0:13:41- but what was funny was that the parrot had said it.- Yes. How lovely.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47Anyway, we can't sit here having fun all day. It's lunchtime. Yum-yum.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Here goes.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Ahem.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53AHEM!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Urm... One welcomes everyone and I...
0:13:57 > 0:14:02One would like to extend a particularly warm welcome
0:14:02 > 0:14:04to our special guest of honour...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I'm sorry, I've forgotten your name.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11SHE WHISPERS
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Of course. The President of Ladyland.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16APPLAUSE
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Let the feasting begin.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Let the feasting begin.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Let the feasting begin!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Come on, everyone. Get stuck in!
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Oh. What's going on? Why isn't anybody eating their food?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Do you think there's something wrong with it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Oh! I know! I remember! Do you? When a monarch attends a posh dinner,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44people usually don't start eating their food
0:14:44 > 0:14:48until after the monarch has picked up his or her knife and fork.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Come on, get stuck in.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Ah, yes. So tell me again about this parrot.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06It said you had a nice crown, but why did it say that, exactly?
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Phoof! Wow! What a day! How have you been getting on, Your Highness?
0:15:18 > 0:15:24It's been jolly tiring, sitting here doing this...all day.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29- But I think the portrait is finally finished.- Great! You must be pleased.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- I am. Shall we take a look?- Yes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Ah!- Ah!
0:15:46 > 0:15:51- Now, that is...interesting.- Yes. I was thinking more...- Unusual?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Yes, that's the word. Unusual.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It will go nicely with the others.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Well, it's been simply wonderful to meet you, King Sid.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06And you've done jolly well doing all my jobs. You really saved the day.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It was my pleasure. I enjoyed it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- And I'd like to give you something to say thank you.- How kind!
0:16:12 > 0:16:14For you, King Sid.
0:16:14 > 0:16:20- I give you this special medal for all your terribly hard work.- Wow!
0:16:20 > 0:16:25One has an honour! A medal from the queen! Thank you, Your Majesty.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Not at all. I actually quite like giving medals.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Well, it was great fun being a king. We'd never have done it
0:16:32 > 0:16:36without remembering everything we needed to know.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Monarchs live in royal palaces, and some even have post offices.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Visitors from around the world sometimes bring unusual gifts,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49even live animals.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Who's a pretty boy, then?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54The animals are always given to a nice safe home.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57And when a monarch attends a posh dinner,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00people usually don't start eating until the monarch starts.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Come on, get stuck in.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Oh! I think it's time one went home.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Goodbye, Your Majesty.- Goodbye, King Sid. Lovely to meet you.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Oh, not a pair.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Oh, neither is that one.- Hey, Rebecca. Hey, Sid. How did it go?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Well, if one is honest, one is feeling rather tired.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34"One is feeling rather tired," is one?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36What happened to your voice?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39It's just the way one speaks when one is a king or a queen.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- What was it like? Did you get to tell everyone what to do?- No.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Being a king wasn't about bossing people around.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It was more about signing birthday letters, posing for pictures,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54entertaining, talking a lot. My face is aching from smiling.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- That's you, Sid. King Smiley!- Get off!
0:17:59 > 0:18:05- Oh, what's that?- Ah, this is a medal. I was decorated.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09But you can have it for being a brilliant best friend.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Oh, thanks, Sid! Do you fancy a game of Snap?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17All right, then. And you can go first this time.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Playing Kings and Queens was brilliant fun,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22but what do you like to play?
0:18:25 > 0:18:30I like playing Police Officers and talking on my radio.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I like catching baddies.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I like playing Ladybirds and flying round the garden.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40SHE LAUGHS
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I love playing Tennis Players and winning all my matches!
0:18:47 > 0:18:51It's fun to play. Start playing today.
