Yes! I love a bit of toast with my jam!

Ha-ha-ha!

OK, jammy toast, it's just you and me in the peace and quiet. Mmm!

CREAK

Hi, Rebecca. That's a very creaky door.

Oh, hi, Sid. It is, isn't it? CREAK

Very creaky indeed. OK, where were we? Oh, yes.

-You in my mouth.

-CREAK

Oh, is that the door again?

No, it's the drawer this time. That's creaky, too.

Have you finished creaking because I was just about to eat my...

Yes, carry on. I'm finished here.

Now, where were we? Ah, yes, you were going into my mouth.

This time, you definitely are, I promise. Ah...

-CREAK

-Rebecca!

-Sorry, Sid.

-I needed a spoon.

-Have you finished now?

-Yes.

-Are you sure?

-I really am.

-OK.

SPACESHIP NOISES

-Hold on, Sid, 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 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! #

So, what are we going to play?

Let's find out.

A clown outfit? Cowboy boots? And a chef's hat?

I don't think so. Let's try again.

What have we got on now? We've got a suit of armour and a helmet to match.

What do you think we're playing today? Of course!

We will be knights in armour and be really brave.

So what we need to know?

First of all, Rebecca, knights in armour lived a long time ago.

From a young age, they learnt how to ride a horse and use weapons.

Knights fought in battles for the king or queen,

but a big part of their job was to help the weak and defenceless.

Knights' armour covered all of their bodies. It was made of metal

and was very heavy, and had to be oiled

or it would get rusty and seize up.

Knights rode trusty steeds,

which is another name for brave horses that belonged to knights.

OK, so that's what we need to remember.

And do we need anything else?

Oh, a carrot? That's a surprise. I wonder what this is for.

I guess we'll find out. OK, we've got everything we need, so let's go!

# Let's play! #

OK, jammy-wammy toast, it's just you and me.

Hey, Sid. Can you guess what we're playing today?

Are we playing, Let's Not Let Sid Eat His Jammy Toast?

-No, we're playing knights in armour!

-Oh, wow!

I wish I was going on a knights in armour adventure

instead of staying in this creaky house.

Just think of all the jammy toast you can eat while I'm gone.

Oh, yes! Have a good time.

-I will, see you later.

-Bye!

Come on, then, let's play knights in armour!

Wooo!

Right, here I am. In my armour, ready to be a brave knight.

So where can I get some knighting action, then?

TRUMPET CALLS Did you hear that? Trumpets!

TRUMPET CALLS

I think it came from that castle over there.

It might belong to a king or a queen. Let's see if there's anyone in.

I think it's a good place to start our knight adventure.

Good morning.

-Halt! Who goes there?

-Who goes where?

-There.

-What, here?

-Yes. There.

-Oh, right.

I'm a brave knight and I'm here to do knight stuff

-and serve the king or queen.

-You want to see the king, then?

-Yes, please.

-You can't see the king unless you give me the password.

Ooh! I like guessing games. Right... Password...OK.

-Mouldy mangoes.

-Nope.

Inky stinky? Bingowingo?

-That's not it.

-Lumpy bumpy?

-Try again.

-Wobbly legs?

-Not quite.

-Jelly belly?

-'Fraid not.

I don't know.

-Smelly kippers?

-That'll do nicely.

-Oh, great!

-On you go.

-Thanks.

-Enjoy your stay.

Oh, wow! This is a grand room.

Of course it is. It's my castle.

Hello. And who might you be?

I am King Archibald I, ruler of this fine kingdom

and all-round general important person.

-What brings ye to my castle?

-I'm glad you asked me that.

I'm a knight in armour. I'm here to do brave, knightly things.

-All right, then. On your knees.

-Excuse me?

If ye wants to be a knight, I have to knight ye.

Oh, right, OK. Give me a moment. This could be tricky.

I'm not sure how well armour bends.

Give me a moment.

Try the other leg, ha-ha.

-OK, I'll try this.

-Ah!

Yes, now. Where is it? Ah, yes. Here we go, then.

On second thoughts, I think I'll be...

No, it's all right. This is how we knight people.

We put the sword on your shoulders, like this, and say,

I dub ye Sir Rebecca the Brave.

-Is it over?

-Yes, all done.

-Wow, lovely, thanks.

Sir Rebecca the Brave. I like it.

Now, I have for job you, brave knight.

Great, bring it on.

I hope he needs me to be brave because I, Sir Rebecca the Brave,

am very brave.

My daughter, Princess Snooty-Pants, is trapped inside the great tower.

That's a bit careless, isn't it?

-And I need you, brave knight, to rescue her.

-Consider it done, boss.

I mean, sir. Your Majesty.

Wonderful! You are indeed a brave knight.

You're just the sort of knight that I've been looking for.

Yes, that's right, I'm a knight. And that's what we do,

rescuing princesses from towers is all in a day's work.

Of course, all the other knights run a mile when I mention the dragon.

Dragon? You didn't mention a dragon.

Oh. Didn't I mention the dragon?

No. You didn't. So, this dragon?

Oh, you know, flappy wings, teeth, fire!

OK, right. Look,

I'm perfectly fine with rescues. I really am, but dragons, uh-uh.

-But you said yes. A deal is a deal.

-And a dragon is a dragon.

Aren't you forgetting something?

What exactly is the job of a brave knight in armour?

I don't know. What is the job of a knight in armour?

Oh! Hold on! I remember, do you?

Knights in armour used to fight in battles for their king or queen.

They also used to help the weak and defenceless. Right! I can do that.

So, you see, you have to work for your king.

And poor Princess Snooty-Pants

is trapped inside that tower, all alone,

weak and defenceless, with no-one to talk to but the mice.

My poor, defenceless daughter. Poor, defenceless Princess Snooty-Pants.

Oh, dear. I really don't want to go but I know I should

if I'm meant to be a knight in armour.

I will find the strength somehow. I can do this!

I can rescue Princess Snooty-Pants!

All right then, I'll do it.

OK, great, super. Off you go, then.

Oh, right. OK. Bye.

Good. Now I'll count some gold.

Here we go, then. Brave knights are we.

Let's go and rescue that princess from the tower.

I hope it's not far. Do you know what?

This armour is really, really heavy. I don't fancy walking much further.

DISTANT CRY Did you hear that?

DISTANT CRY

It sounded like someone who needed our help. Is that the princess?

Help! Help!

Oh, for goodness sake, come and help me. For I am in need of help.

Fear not, Princess. We're on our way,

as fast as we can in this heavy armour.

I've been trapped up here for ages.

Right, I'm coming as fast as I can.

THUNDER CLAPS

Oh, no! It's starting to rain. This is the last thing I need.

I didn't bring an umbrella, either.

This is very, very hard work.

SQUEAK

Is it me? Or is my armour getting stiff?

SQUEAK

Fair Princess, I am here to rescue you.

Well, let's not stand around chatting about it.

I'm ready to be rescued. So please, now, rescue me.

SQUEAK

Hold on, what's going on? I can't move.

Oh no!

I'm all rusty. I think the rain has seized up my armour.

This can't be happening.

What am I going to do? I can't rescue the princess if I can't move.

So, how can I start moving again?

Oh, hold on. I remember, do you?

Knights' armour had to be oiled or it would get rusty and seize up.

We need to get some oil. Excuse me, I'm stuck!

Hold on. I thought I was the one that needed rescuing.

Can you help me? My armour's got all rusty, and I need oil to unstick it.

You want oil? What do you think this is? A shop?

OK, Sir Whatever. Wait there.

-Don't move.

-That should be easy.

Well, I have good news and I have bad news. Which do you want first?

Um, I'll have the good news.

The good news is I found some oil.

And the bad news?

The bad news is it's the oil that I usually use to fry my turnips.

It's a bit old and smelly.

Oh.

Stand still, here it comes.

Oh, that tickles! It's really smelly.

They were very old turnips.

OK, let me see if this has worked.

SQUEAK

That's better.

I can move! I'm free!

So can we get going now, please?

Right, let's rescue this princess.

Fair Princess, throw down your hair so I may climb up.

OK, brace yourself!

Eh?

You've ruined my hair extensions! You naughty, naughty knight!

-Sorry, Miss.

-What shall I do now?

-Oh, dear.

What am I to do? Stuck in this room, behind this door,

all locked up, and no way out.

-A door? Does it have a key in it?

-Yes.

-Try turning it.

I could try that.

Oh, yes. Hey! It worked!

Huh, well that was easy.

It's me! I'm out!

-Great!

-What do we do now?

ROAR

-It's a dragon!

-What shall we do?

-Run!

-Great idea!

-So, what's the plan?

-Er, plan? What plan?

You're the knight doing the rescuing. How will we escape?

Err... Keep running?

That's just great. You came here without anything

for us to make a getaway with. What sort of knight are you?

ROAR

-A scared one!

-Argh!

ROAR

I can't go much further. What are we going to do?

We need to go faster.

Oh, hold on, I remember, do you?

Knights rode trusty steeds, which is another name for a horse.

We need to get a horse!

-There's one, over there.

-Great!

Let's get to our trusty steed.

NEIGH

Hello, horsey. Can you give us a ride, please?

NEIGH Ooh, easy, fella.

-Come on, just a little ride on your back, we'd be really grateful.

-Hurry!

You need to make that horsey help us before the dragon gets here.

Oh, no! What are we going to do? Err...

Oh, yes! Of course! This carrot. I knew it would come in useful.

Here you go, horsey. Munch on that.

I think he likes it.

ROAR

The dragon! Quick! On the horse!

ROAR

-OK, you can move now, please?

-Get us out of here!

Wahey!

GROAN

Phew! We did it! We rescued the princess. Didn't we do well?

Giddy-up, horsey. Let's get this princess back home!

Good knight, Sir Rebecca the Brave. You have brought back my daughter.

-What is that pong?

-Yes, sorry. That's me. It's turnips.

-Eh?

-You don't want to know.

-You are indeed the bravest of the brave.

Oh, thanks.

And so you must now accept Princess Snooty-Pants's hand in marriage.

-Eh?

-Cooey!

Oh, um... Yes, err...

I've really got to go, I've got to oil my armour. Yes.

Don't get stuck in any more towers, now.

My hero.

Well, we did it. We rescued the princess.

But we would never have done it

without remembering everything we needed to know.

'Knights in armour lived many years ago and helped the weak

-'and defenceless.'

-Help!

'Their armour was made of metal

'and if it got wet it would get rusty and seize up.

'And knights rode trusty steeds, which were brave horses.'

I think it's time we went home. Bye, everyone.

Goodbye, brave Sir Rebecca the Knight.

-Missing you already.

-See ya, bye.

And then my armour rusted up.

-But it was all right because we used this oil.

-Ah, great!

-Sounds like you had fantastic fun.

-I did.

I'm about to eat this pie, mmm. I can't wait. Would you like some?

-Yes, please. I'll get the plates.

-Good idea.

Mmm. Yes, pies, you and me today.

CREAK

Oh no! Not again! Everything still creaks.

Ah! I know. We can use this oil.

Can you hear this?

No, not a thing. Fantastic!

No more creaks now.

Playing knights in armour was great fun! What do you like to play?

I love to play racing drivers. I race around like this. Neeoow!

I would like to be a cave-girl and have crazy hair.

I would be really fierce, like this, rargh!

I like to play tennis and win all my matches.

CRASH

It's fun to play! Start playing today.

See you soon.
