Postman Let's Play

# Let's play! Do be do do be do be do

# Let's have an adventure, hooray! Do be do do be do be do

# Let's play!

# Who could we be today? What could we do?

# I'd like to drive a racing car or fly to the moon

# I could be a firefighter, a farmer or a vet

# A knight in shining armour, or I could be a chef

# Let's play! Do be do do be do be do

# Let's play! Do be do do be do be do

# Let's have an adventure today! Do be do do be do be do

# Let's play! #

Right, hold it still.

-There we go.

-We're making a rocket for a friend of ours.

-Alex.

He's sick in bed. And when he's sick, he loves to fly rockets.

-This will definitely cheer him up.

-Let's wrap it up.

Hold on. I think we're going to need some extra padding,

in case it gets broken.

-Yes, you're right. And I have just the thing. Wait right there.

-OK.

POPPING AND CRACKLING

-Sid, what's that noise?

-Bubble wrap!

We can wrap it in this, but not before I make a few pops!

-Ah, there you go, Rebecca.

-Thanks.

-Before you go, one more.

POPPING AND CRACKLING

-Oh, yes! That feels so good.

-Sid?

-Yes.

-Could I have it now, please?

-Sorry. There you go.

-Thank you.

This bubble wrap, there are no bubbles left in it. It's just wrap!

-Sorry.

-We can't use this. We'll have to use something else.

'Ho-ho! Ho-ho!'

-Hold on, Rebecca. It's time!

-Great!

-It's time to play!

-Whose turn is it today?

-Let it be me.

-Let it be me.

Me. Me.

# Let it be me!

# Let, let, let it be me!

# Let it be me!

# Could it be me?

# Let it be me, let it be me!

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me!

# Let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let it be me!

# Let it be me, let it be me!

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me! #

-Could it be me?

-Could it be me?

It's me!

# Yes, it's me! Yes, it's me!

# I'm really, really, really, really happy it's me! #

Look, there's the dressing up room.

# Let's play! #

This is really exciting.

Let's find out what we're playing today.

Wow! So, I've got a clown's head, a bee's body and a caveman's feet.

No, that can't be right.

So, this time I have on a pair of trousers,

a bright yellow jacket and a shoulder bag.

What are we playing today?

We're going to play Postman and deliver all the letters and parcels.

So what do we need to know?

Postmen and women take letters and parcels from one place to another.

This is called the mail.

People post mail into postboxes, so that postmen can collect it.

When they want to get mail out of the box, they use special keys.

Lots of letters and parcels have to travel a long way to be delivered.

Special trains take the mail on long journeys,

travelling through the night.

Letters and parcels need the address of the person

they are going to on them. They also need postcodes,

which are letters and numbers that help tell postmen exactly

where to deliver the mail.

So that's everything we need to remember,

but do we need anything else?

Wow! A foot pump?

How is this going to help me deliver letters and parcels?

Well, I guess I'm going to find out.

So we've got everything we need. Let's go!

-Rebecca, guess what we're playing today.

-You're playing at dancing.

-No. Look at me. We're playing Postman.

-Oh, that is so good!

-I wish I was playing Postman.

-Someone's got to find something

to put that in, so Alex gets his rocket.

OK. I'll do that. I'm sure we'll find something.

-Have fun.

-Will do. Bye.

-Bye.

Come on, let's play Postman.

Right.

Here I am, Postman Sid, ready to deliver all the letters and parcels.

So where am I meant to be, then?

-Whoa! Whoa!

-Oh, yo, dude.

Oh... Yo...dude.

-Hey, are you a postman?

-I am.

-Oh, cool.

You're just the dude I need, then.

Right. Well, Postman Sid at your service.

My mum asked me to post this parcel, right, but, like, it doesn't

fit into any of the postboxes, like, cos it's so completely too big.

I can see your problem. It is so too completely too big.

I was taking it to the sorting office cos they've got this, like, big

-postbox outside.

-The sorting office?

Where all the post is collected. That's where I should be, then.

-I know, I'll take it for you if you want.

-Solid.

-Pardon?

Thank you.

Oh. Urgh. OK, no problem. Um...

-Which way is the sorting office?

-It's just down there and to the left.

OK, thanks.

-Laters.

-Yeah, laters...

young...dude.

-Oh, my! Oh, deary me!

-Oh.

Hello. Can I help you?

-Oh, young man. I've gone and posted a card in this postbox.

-Ha-ha!

Well, that's OK. You're supposed to do that.

That's where you put the letters and the cards.

Ho-ho! Oh, you are a funny chap! Oh, of course I know that.

-Great. Good. Glad to have been of help.

-No, no.

What it is, I've posted it in there, but it hasn't got a stamp on it.

Oh, I see. Well, don't worry. I'll reach in there and pull it out.

-My hero!

-Stand back, madam. Right. OK.

Right, let's have a look in here.

There... I think... Nearly got it. Nearly got it... Urgh...

-I've nearly...got it!

-Oh, ho-ho! What a clever chap you are!

-Hold on.

-Urgh... My hand's stuck!

-Oh, my! Right. Oh!

-I tell you what, I'll give you a pull.

-Great idea.

On the count of three. One, two, three. Pull!

Pull!

-Oh! Let me help you up.

-Oh. Yes.

-Oh!

-Are you OK?

-Oh! Oh, yes. I'm absolutely fine.

Oh, my! What an adventure this is!

Right. There you go. There's your letter. I'd better be going.

-See you later.

-Oh, thank you very... Oh, hold on. Come back.

-What is it?

-This isn't my card.

-Isn't it?

-No, this one does have a stamp on it.

Oh, yes. So it does. I'd better pop this one back into the postbox.

-Which means yours must be in there somewhere.

-Oh, my! Oh, deary me!

That's Little Billy's birthday card. He's my grandson. He's a lovely boy.

But he'll never get that card if I don't put a stamp on it.

-Well, there must be some way of getting in there.

-Oh, look.

-There's a door on the front.

-Oh, yes. Maybe I can get that open.

-I hope so. That has to get to Scotland.

-To Scotland?

OK, don't worry. Leave it to me. Um... Oh, no.

How am are going to open this door? It's locked solid. Oh, hold on.

I remember, do you? Postmen carry keys to open postboxes.

Maybe I've got some here somewhere.

Yes! Keys! Problem solved.

Bingo!

-Marvellous. Now, can you see my card in there?

-Oh, yes. Here it is.

-One without a stamp on.

-Wonderful! Right then.

I'll just put my stamp on the front. There we go.

Oh, it is getting a bit late. And I was wondering,

would you mind taking this card to the sorting office?

It's only round the corner.

-Of course I will.

-Oh, thank you.

And I may as well take all these letters to the sorting office

while I'm at it.

Oh. Well, thank you so much, Mr Postman.

-Please take care of Little Billy's birthday card for me.

-I will.

Don't you worry. I quite like being a postman.

Urgh... I think!

Ah, here we are. The sorting office. Wow!

I've never seen so many letters and parcels!

-Ah, you must be the new chap.

-Yes. Postman Sid at your service.

-Clerk Mrs Postmistress.

-Postmistress.

That sounds like an important job.

Well, it jolly well is! Without me, none of this lot would get anywhere.

Ha-ha-ha! Oh, you've got some letters for me.

And a great big parcel.

Oh, marvellous! Letters over here and parcel just there.

-OK, will do.

-Right, then. Canada. England...

Oh, Scotland. I need a postman to take these up to Scotland for me.

Scotland? That's where Billy's birthday card is going.

Me! I can do that!

Oh, jolly good! Well, they need to get there by morning.

Absolutely vital.

-You can count on me.

-Marvellous!

OK, I'd better be off. I've got some elastic bands to sort. Ha-ha!

-Oh, excuse me. I think you dropped one of your elastic bands.

-Oh.

Silly me! Ha-ha-ha! Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Right. OK, so, we need to get these letters to Scotland by the morning.

Absolutely vital. And Billy's birthday card. Um...

Oh, Scotland's a long way from here.

How am are going to get there?

Oh, I know. I remember, do you?

Yes, trains take the mail on long journeys,

sometimes travelling through the night.

We need to get on a train. Right, let's go.

'All aboard the night train to Scotland.'

Wait for me!

Phew! Made it just in time.

Wow! Look at all these letters and parcels going to Scotland.

I think I'll have a nice cup of tea.

Whoa! It's quite hard to pour tea on a moving train.

Ah, a smooth bit.

One nice cup of tea.

Whoa! Oh, no! My tea!

Oh, no! The letters! I hope they're not all ruined.

Oh. No, I think they're OK.

Apart from Billy's birthday card.

The address is smudged, except for the letters and numbers at the end.

How am I going to be able to deliver it? Oh, no!

We've arrived.

And it's morning. Which means it's Billy's birthday.

And I've got to try and find him

and deliver his birthday card with no address to help me. Oh, no!

So how am I going to find him, then? Oh, I know. Billy!

Billy? Billy, where are you?

I'm Billy. What do you want?

-Little Billy, whose birthday it is?

-Och, no. I'm Big Billy.

My birthday was three weeks ago. I got a pogo stick and a new hat.

Best birthday I ever had.

You're not the Billy I'm looking for.

-Do you know any other Billys around here?

-I'm Big Billy.

And then there's Medium Size Billy who lives down the Glen.

And then there's the man who lives by the Loch,

-Absolutely Massive Billy.

-None of them sound like our Billy.

-No, not if he's little.

-So how am I going to find him?

I won't be able to deliver his birthday card, and all

-because I spilt tea on the envelope.

-Och, I'm sure you didn't mean to.

No, I didn't. But there must be some way of getting this card to him.

Oh, hold on! I know! I remember, do you?

Postcodes are letters

and numbers that tell postmen where to deliver the mail.

So all we need to do is work out what these letters and numbers mean.

-Och, I can tell you that.

-You can?

-Yes. I'm the local postman.

What a stroke of luck!

The postcode can tell you what street and town the house is in,

-but not the exact house.

-Well, it's a start.

It's meant to go to a village way up in the Highlands,

-in a street called Highland Avenue.

-Thanks.

-So how do I get there?

-You can borrow my postman's van.

-Great!

Yes, but there's only...one...small...problem.

My back wheel. Ah. It's as flat as a pancake.

Oh, no!

We've come this far and got so close,

only to be beaten by a flat tyre.

Oh, no! Oh, hold on. I remember something, do you?

Yes! This foot pump. I knew it would come in handy.

-We can pump it up with this.

-Brilliant! Right, let's get pumping!

-There we go.

-Nice work, son.

-Thanks, Big Billy.

Now I can drive up to Little Billy's house and deliver his birthday card.

I think I'll go and have a bite to eat with Absolutely Massive Billy.

-Now, there's a man who knows how to throw a big lunch.

-Thanks again.

Right. Let's get up to Highland Avenue.

Right. So this is where Billy lives, Highland Avenue.

And we're just in time for his birthday. So which house is his?

Is it this one?

Maybe it's this one.

Or maybe it's this one.

Let's give it a try.

KNOCKS ON DOOR That's the postman!

-Hello. Are you Little Billy?

-That's me.

-I've got a card for you.

Oh, that must be from my nana. I've been waiting for that.

She always sends me the best birthday cards.

It is! It's from Nana! Oh, thank you.

Mam! The postman's brought me Nana's card!

Well, we did it. We delivered Billy's birthday card right on time.

But we'd never have done it without remembering everything

we needed to know.

Postmen and postwomen have keys to open postboxes.

Sometimes trains take the mail on long journeys overnight.

And postcodes help tell the postman where to deliver the mail.

What's this I hear?

You brought Nana's card all the way here just in time for Billy's

-birthday.

-Really, it was nothing.

-Oh, it is. I can't thank you enough.

Here, have some of Billy's birthday cake.

I put it in a nice box for you

so you can eat it on the train on the way home.

Oh, thank you! I won't eat it on the train, though.

I'm going home a different way.

But I do have a friend that I can share it with.

-Oh. It is time we went home. Bye.

-Goodbye.

-See you, Billy.

Bye, Mr Postman!

We pumped up the tyre and delivered Billy's birthday card just in time.

Sounds like you were a great Postman, Sid.

Well, I had some help. How have you been getting on?

Well, I still don't know what to do about Alex's rocket.

Hold on, I have just the thing to put it in.

Now, it's got some birthday cake inside, but we can sort that out.

Oh! Lovely! Ooh! Perfect!

-Well done, Sid.

-Well, playing Postman was great fun.

What do you like to play?

I love playing Dragons. Listen to my roar.

ROAR!

Playing Kings is great fun. I am King Amidil and I wave like this.

When I play Racing Drivers, I drive really fast like this.

Vroom! Vroom!

-It's fun to play. Start playing today.

-Go to...

..and click on Let's Play.

See you soon.
