-Hey, Sid.

-Whoa!

-Look what I found!

-A teddy bear.

-Not just any teddy bear. This is Mr Bonce.

-Mr Bonce?

Yes, it's a teddy bear I had when I was really small.

-SQUEAKY VOICE:

-"Hello, my name is Mr Bonce."

Oh, no, he doesn't talk like that. He talks like this.

DEEP VOICE: "Hello, my name's Mr Bonce."

I think Mr Bonce is missing something.

Yes, he used to have this toy cat he used to play with,

-but we lost it.

-No, no, look - he's missing one of his button eyes.

Oh, yes, he is, too. He used to have two.

-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!

-Let 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 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 is the dressing up room.

# Let's play! #

This is really exciting.

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

What's this? A king's crown, a kilt and farmer's wellies?

I don't think so. Let's try something else.

So, what have we got on here?

A top with dogs printed on it, some special rubber gloves,

and what look like surgeon's trousers.

So, what are we playing today?

I know! We're playing vets, and we're going to look after animals.

So what do we need to know?

First of all, Sid, vets are animal doctors.

They look after farm animals and pets.

Farm animals have very different needs to pets.

Pigs, for instance, do not sweat.

Instead, they cool themselves by rolling around in the mud.

This protects them from insects and sunburn.

Vets look after animals when they are having babies.

Baby animals can be very different from grown-up ones.

Fully grown Dalmatian dogs have spots,

but their puppies are born without spots.

Vets tell people what is best for their animals,

such as what kind of food to eat and what not to eat.

The chocolate we like to eat, for example, is not good for a pet dog.

Well, that's everything we need to remember, but what else do we need?

A biscuit in the shape of a fish.

I wonder what I'll need that for. I guess I'll find out.

So, that's everything we need. Let's go!

"I had my eye last time I looked." Don't worry, we'll find it.

Hey, Rebecca. Guess what we're playing today?

You're wearing pyjamas, so you're playing at someone going to bed.

No, look at my shirt. It's got dogs on. We're playing vets.

Great, you'll get to meet loads of animals.

-I hope so.

-Have fun.

-Will do. Bye.

-Bye. "Bye."

-Bye-bye, Mr Bonce.

# Let's play! #

Come on, let's play vets!

Yeah! Wheeee!

# Let's play! #

Right, so, where are we?

Looks like a high street. And that looks like a vet surgery.

Come on, let's go inside and see if we can be of any help.

-Hello!

-Where did I put my watch, now? It was on this table, I'm sure.

-Hello, I'm Sid.

-Hello. Take a seat.

Animals on the floor, humans on the chair.

I haven't actually got an animal with me.

-The doctor's surgery is three doors up.

-No, I'm a vet.

-A vet?

You're a vet! Thank goodness. A vet. Fantastic!

He seems very pleased to see me. Can I help?

We're all hands on deck today. Very, very busy.

So, if you could help out Val with the patients.

-Right, who's first?

-PHONE RINGS

Oh, excuse me. I'm Patrick, the receptionist.

-Hello, Patrick.

-Hello, Vick And Val, The Vets.

PHONE RINGS

Hello? It's still ringing.

Hold on a minute. It's that parrot.

RINGING SOUND

He's very good at copying the sound of the phone.

-Hey, you naughty bird.

-Hey, naughty bird.

-He's very good at voices, as well.

-Yes, a little bit too good.

-So, where should I go?

-If you just go through to the surgery,

-Val will show you what to do.

-OK, thanks.

Now, where did I put my watch?

# Let's play! #

So, this must be the surgery.

This is where they make a lot of animals feel better.

-Oh, hello. And you are?

-I'm Sid. I'm here to help. You must be Val?

Yes, that's me. It's good to see you. We're rushed off our feet.

-Well, I'm here to do whatever I can.

-Excellent.

We've got a sneezy cat, a wheezy gerbil,

-and a guinea pig with a sore throat.

-Quite a few, then.

A rat with a runny nose and a hamster that keeps running off.

Wow! Loads!

And that's just the first hour. Then we wait and see what turns up.

Let's get started. I'm ready for action.

If you call the first one in, I'll go and see this hamster -

-if I can find it. See you soon.

-See you.

Right, here we go.

-Hello? Hello?

-Oh, hello. How can I help you?

Hello, love. Thank you.

-It's my puppies.

-Oh, dear. Yes?

I'm ever so worried. Take a look at them.

Well, they look OK.

Oh, but they are not. It's the spots I'm worried about.

-Spots? They've got spots, have they?

-No, they're Dalmatian spotty dogs.

Their mum's got loads of spots, but they haven't got any.

Yes. Oh, dear. How will I fix this one?

My first patient and I'm stuck already.

I'm not going to be much of a vet at this rate, am I?

Oh, hold on! I remember. Do you?

Baby animals are different to the grown-up animals.

Yes, and puppy Dalmatians are born without any spots.

It's OK. They're not supposed to have any spots.

-Oh! Are you sure?

-Yes, it's OK.

Just take them home, treat them well and wait for the spots.

-They'll turn up, all right.

-Thank you, Mr Vet. I feel much better now.

Did you here that, boys?

-The lovely vet said your spots will arrive soon.

-Lovely.

Aren't they sweet? Well, off you go, then.

Thank you, doctor. I mean, vet. Lovely.

-Bye-bye.

-Yeah, nice to meet you. Bye-bye.

-Yes! One happy customer!

-Sid, can you come here, please?

I need your help, quickly.

What's going on here? Coming!

I'm sure I had it here somewhere. Things just keep disappearing.

-There you are. It's bad news, I'm afraid.

-Oh, dear. What?

-There's trouble down at the farm.

-Trouble at the farm.

Yes. Thank you, bird. We need someone to go down there right away.

-OK, leave it to me.

-There you go. And take this with you, too.

Right. What's it for?

It's for carrying animals in, just in case you need it.

-Carrying animals.

-Leave it to me.

-You funny bird.

-Funny bird. Squawk!

Right, here we are. It's nice to get out in some fresh air.

What a beautiful day. It's quite hot, though. Phew!

Ah, hello, you must be the vet. I'm Fran the farmer.

-Thanks for coming so quickly.

-Nice to meet you, Fran.

-No problem at all.

-It's Perky.

-What is?

-My pig.

-Your pig is perky?

Oh! That's his name, Perky!

She's very unhappy. I think it might be this warm weather.

She hasn't been running around like she usually does.

This pig definitely looks too hot.

Hmm. What can we do? Give her some ice? Let her have a swim around?

Hold on - I remember! Do you?

Pigs keep cool by rolling around in the mud.

-Fran, this pig needs mud. Lots of it, and make it sloppy.

-Mud? Hmm.

Well, it's been so hot here recently that all the mud is baked solid.

-No sloppy mud at all.

-Oh, no. What can we do?

I know! Follow me.

Fran, your pig is too hot. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yes, of course! We can spray the mud with the water and make it sloppy.

Exactly. We need to find some mud.

-Now, when I shout, will you please turn on the hose?

-Gotcha.

Mud, mud, mud. Ah! One hole full of mud.

But all baked nice and hard.

This needs water. OK, Fran. Switch it on.

Right!

That's it! Great, one hole full of mud getting nice and sloppy.

You can switch it off now, Fran.

SHE SNORES

What's she doing?

Great - she's fallen asleep.

Fran? Fran?

-Fran!

-Cornflakes! What?

-Oh, hello. How are you?

-I'm fine, thanks.

I was calling you to turn off the tap.

Oh, right, yes. Of course. Sorry.

Oh, it's so hot I must have dropped off.

Right, well, we need to get this pig... Oh.

..into that mud over there.

-Where's she gone?

-Oh. Perky?

-Perky?

Maybe she's back over there.

Perky?

-Perky!

-Woo-hoo! Perky!

-Perky, Perky, Perky!

-Here, Perky, Perky, Perky, Perky!

Perky? I can't see her anywhere.

-No, she's completely vanished.

-Perky!

-Perky?

Where are you, Perky?

-Perky, Perky, Perky!

-Here, Perky, Perky, Perky!

She's not here, either.

First we had a sick pig, now we've got a missing pig.

-I haven't been much help, have I?

-Not to worry.

I'm sure she'll turn up when she wants to. She usually does.

-Thanks for your help, anyway.

-No problem, Fran.

-I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help.

-Take care.

-See you. Bye.

-Oh, hold on. What's this? Fran?

-Yes?

-Come here. I found Perky.

-Perky!

Ha ha ha! And she's much happier now.

Look at her enjoying that mud! THEY LAUGH

OINK OINK!

-Well, thank you so much for coming.

-No problem at all, Fran.

-I'd better be going now.

-Just one other thing.

-What's that?

-It's a stray cat I keep seeing around here.

Could you take it away with you and give it a good home?

A stray cat? What does it look like?

It's black and white with a white tip on its tail.

I haven't seen a cat like that,

-MIAOW!

-but I'll have a look around.

Don't worry, if there is one, I will spot it.

Right you are. Thanks very much.

OK, I'd better be going. Oh! Funny.

-All right then, see you.

-Nice to have met you.

-Bye!

-Bye!

Where is it? I had it about two minutes ago. Sid, you're back.

You haven't seen my pencil sharpener, have you?

No, I've been down on the farm.

OK. Anyway, you've got one more patient.

-Show me the way.

-Just through the surgery. She's got a dog. Poochy.

Right. Let's do it.

-Hello, Poochy!

-No, my name is Snippet. Mrs Snippet.

-It's my dog that's called Poochy.

-Yes, I...

-It's a disaster.

A complete disaster. Poochy is very unhappy. Aren't you, Poochy?

-Very unhappy.

-Oh, dear. What seems to be the problem?

All his friends came round for his birthday party,

then Poochy had some lovely choccy-woccy birthday cake,

didn't you, my little soldier?

-Now he isn't very well.

-What can we do?

Erm... Oh, hold on! I remember. Do you?

Yes, the wrong kind of food can be bad for an animal.

The chocolate that we like to eat isn't good for our pet dogs.

-It's the chocolate cake you gave him.

-Oh. But he does rather like it.

Yes, but our kind of chocolate isn't good for animals.

I'm so sorry, Poochy-woochy pie.

Mummy didn't mean to make you sick on your birthday.

WOOF!

-Thank you very much.

-No problem, Mrs Snippet.

Just give him plenty of water

and the right kind of dog food from now on.

-OK, I will. I promise.

-Good.

Right. Well, I think that's me done. All patients seen.

Well, I did it.

I managed to look after all the animals that needed my help.

-Yes, there is only this parrot left.

-Well, it looks quite happy to me.

-What's wrong with him?

-Oh, nothing. He is the office pet.

Oh, Patrick, look! In the cage!

-Your pencil sharpener.

-Oh, yes, and my watch.

I wonder how that got in there.

Well, some birds, like that parrot,

can be attracted to shiny objects like buttons and sequins,

and even your pencil sharpener and watch. You'd better get them out.

Look! There is shiny buttons, hair clips, everything.

-No wonder I couldn't find anything.

-Can I have that button, please?

I know someone who could really use it.

-This one? Yes, of course. There you go.

-Thanks.

MIAOW! MIAOW!

-Hold on a minute - did that bird just miaow?

-Yeah, I think it did.

MIAOW! MIAOW!

-No, wait a minute - it came from over there.

-Oh!

-There's a cat in here!

-Yes, so there is.

-It's black and white.

That's like the stray that was missing on the farm that Fran

wanted me to find a home for.

-I think it must have popped in there while I wasn't looking.

-Yes.

He's very cute, but very shy. He won't come out.

Here, puss-puss-puss-puss.

-Here, puss-puss-puss-puss.

-No, he won't even pop his head out.

Hold on!

That fish biscuit - maybe it's a cat biscuit.

Let's see if I can tempt him out with this.

Come on then, puss-puss-puss-puss. Look - little biscuit. Yes!

Aww! What shall we do with him?

Fran said he's a stray and needs to find a new home.

Well, I was wondering if I could take him home to live with me.

-He is very cute.

-That's a lovely idea.

I think you'd give him a good home and you'd look after him properly.

Well, I know how to look after him, all right.

I do work in a vets, after all! THEY LAUGH

Of course! Well, being a vet was completely brilliant,

but we'd never have done it

without remembering everything we needed to know.

Pigs cool themselves by rolling around in the mud.

Fully grown Dalmatian dogs have spots,

but their puppies are born without them.

And the chocolate that we like to eat is not good for a dog.

Well, it's been lovely having you here, Sid.

You've been a brilliant vet.

Thanks, Patrick. I think it's time we went home. Bye-bye!

-Bye-bye!

-Bye, Val.

-Bye, Sid!

And then I raced back from the farm just in time to help Poochy.

That sounds great. It must have been brilliant being a vet.

-It was awesome!

-I wish we had a vet that could fix Mr Bonce's eye.

-I can't find it anywhere.

-Let me help.

A button!

-And it matches his other eye perfectly.

-A perfect match!

-Mr Bonce is as good as new.

-Glad I could help, Rebecca.

And you, Mr Bonce. Playing vets was great fun. What do you like to play?

I love playing queens. This is how a queen waves.

When I play mechanics, I fix cars.

When I play athlete, I warm up like this.

It's fun to play. Start playing today.
