And running on the spot.

Go!

Rebecca's trying to get me to exercise.

Come on, Sid. Let's work those muscles.

TEAR! Oh, no.

I've ripped my trousers!

Oh, no. That's a shame.

That means we have to stop exercising!

No, don't worry. I can repair them.

You carry on, do a few more squats.

I think I might try a few EYE exercises first.

Ah, that's better.

Right, I'll just get these sewn up.

-ALARM SOUNDS

-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!

-Me!

-# Let it be me! Let-let-let it be me.

-Me!

# Let it be me!

# Let it be me

BOTH: # 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? CLOCK TICKING

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!

So, what are we playing today?

BEEP

Whoa!

So, I'm wearing a Roman's helmet,

painter and decorator overalls

and flippers on my feet.

What am I going to do with that?

This isn't right.

BOING!

So, this time I'm wearing a uniform

and I have an apron with some scissors on.

So, what are we playing today?

Of course! We're going to be hairdressers.

-So, what do we need to know?

-BOING!

Hairdressers cut and style people's hair.

They work in shops called salons,

or go out and visit customers in their own homes.

When they wash people's hair, hairdressers use a

specially shaped sink so the customers can lie back comfortably.

When they cut hair, hairdressers

put a gown on their customers to stop their clothes getting messy.

When they have finished, the hairdresser shows the customer what

they've done using a hand mirror so they can see the back of their head.

That's what we need to remember. Do we need anything else?

DOINK!

Whoa. A handy grabber.

I wonder what we're going to need this for? I guess we'll find out.

We've got everything we need. Let's go.

# Let's play. #

-Look, Rebecca. I'm going to be a hairdresser.

-Great!

-Have you stopped exercising?

-Yes, I tried to fix my trousers but

I didn't do a very good job. I'm going to have to try again.

-Good luck.

-See you later.

# Let's play! #

Come on, let's play hairdressers.

Whee!

# Let's play! #

Whoa!

Right. So, where are we?

Oh, look, a hairdresser's.

This is the place.

Hello? Anyone here?

GENTLE SNORING

Oh.

Hello?

-SHE GASPS

-Oh, sorry.

-I didn't mean to scare you.

-You want a haircut?

Now, what haircut for you? Short back and sides?

-Oh, no...

-I must do something!

You're hair, it needs so much work!

OK, we start with a little cutting and see...

-No, you don't understand! I'm a hairdresser.

-Are you?

Oh, thank goodness!

SHE SIGHS IN RELIEF

I thought you were a customer. Thank goodness you are here.

We have a lot of customers wanting their hair done.

-Great, I'm Sid.

-Pleased to meet you, Sid.

I am Madame Frou-Frou. Now, let me show you around.

Here is where we make the teas and coffees,

here we have the magazines and the lovely biscuits,

because we must keep the customers happy, Sidney. Very happy!

-No problem.

-And we have a very important customer coming in today,

the mayor.

You must do a very lovely job for the mayor.

-But now, I must go and have a little rest.

-Oh, wait!

I'm not doing all the customers on my own, am I?

Yes, my darling.

I am very, very tired.

Right. So, that must mean I'm in charge, then.

-BELL RINGS

-And here's my first customer. Come in!

No, it must be the blue with the sequins. May I help you?

-Question is, may I help you, madam?

-What?

Look, I'm going to have to call you back. I have a man here.

-What seems to be the problem?

-Oh, no problem.

Are you the mayor?

-It's an honour to meet you, Your Highness.

-No, I'm not the mayor.

-And who are you?

-I'm Sid. I'm doing the hair today.

I hope you know what you're doing.

I need to look nice as I'm going to a special party.

Not a problem, madam. What would you like done?

I want it washed, dried, and I want an up-do.

-You want an up-do?

-I do. You do do up-dos, don't you?

-I guess we do.

I suppose she wants me to put her hair up. I can do that...I think.

This way, madam.

# Let's play. #

I just need to wash your hair first.

-If you could lean over here.

-Here?

I think so.

Won't be long.

Argh!

It's gone down the back of my neck! I'm soaked! Ah!

Oh, no! This is all going horribly wrong.

Why is she getting wet?

Oh, hold on. I remember, do you?

When washing hair, hairdressers use a specially shaped sink

so customers can lie back comfortably.

I'm sorry, I should be washing your hair in

a specially shaped hairdresser's sink.

Please, it's this way.

# Let's play. #

This is where we wash your hair. Sit down, please. Thank you.

And lay back here. Lovely, there we are.

Ah, that's better.

-SHOP BELL RINGS

-Oh, another customer.

-Excuse me, madam.

-But, my hair?!

-HORN SOUNDS

-Hello.

-How may I help you?

-I just need a little trim.

-No problem.

-You're not the mayor, are you?

-The mayor?

No, man. I just need a haircut.

I'm going to a very special party and I need to look really good.

Everyone's going to a party today. Walk this way, sir.

Here goes.

-So, are you watching the game this weekend, sir?

-Ah... Ah...

-Yes?

-Achoo!

-Oh, bless you.

-Hey, man, the hair's falling in my face.

-Oh, right. Sorry.

-Here we go.

-Erm, what are you doing, man?

-I'm cutting your hair.

-Don't you like it?

-It's going all over my clothes.

Sorry. Well, maybe if you tilt your head to the side?

-That's a little bit uncomfortable.

-Oh, yes. OK.

Oh, no. What am I going to do?

Erm... Oh, I remember. Do you?

Hairdressers put a gown on customers to stop their clothes

getting messy. I need to find a gown.

-Great idea, man.

-Ah, there we are.

Now your clothes won't get messy.

-Where were we?

-Sid!

Oh, the woman. I forgot about her.

-Excuse me, I'll be back in a moment.

-No problem, man.

-Hello.

-Where have you been?

-Sorry for the wait.

I just need to dry your hair.

Hold on tight!

Stop! What have you done?!

-Don't do it like that!

-That's how I dry my hair.

-Use a

-dryer. Oh, yes. Good idea.

This is fun.

-Will this take long?

-Pardon?

I said, WILL THIS...take long?

-No time at all, madam.

-SHOP BELL RINGS

Ah, except there's another customer.

-Won't be a moment.

-But wait?

My hair!

-Can I help?

-I'd like my hair done, please.

I can do your hair but I have to be quick. The mayor is due any moment.

-Ahem, I am the mayor.

-You are...

Of course you are! Your Majesty, I am honoured.

I'm here to get my hair done, please, as I'm going to a party.

Another person going to a party.

I was getting ready and decided to put a bit of colour in my hair

-but it went a teensy-weensy bit wrong.

-Can I see?

-Promise you won't laugh?

-I promise.

We can take care of that for you, Your Worship. No problem.

This way, please.

-I just need to wash your hair first.

-Sid?

-Ah, except I've got another customer.

-Oh, you...

-I'm actually...

-Here, have a magazine.

-Oh...

Sorry about the wait. Right, I need to do the back of your hair.

And I'll use the clippers for that. If you could just lean forward.

-He-he-he! It tickles!

-Oh, sorry about that, sir.

-He-he-he-he!

-Won't be too long, sir.

-Ah-ha-ha!

-Sid? Where are you?!

-Back in a moment!

-Ha-ha-ha!

-Sorry, madam. Very busy.

I can finish you now. I just need to put your hair up a bit.

-Sid!

-Oh, the mayor! Hello, madam, erm, mayor.

-Purple hair, erm, right...

-Mr Sid?

-Oh, erm!

-Wait!

Oh, I've had a lovely rest.

-Sid, what is going on?

-Hair, lots of people, no time!

Relax, Sidney.

A good hairdresser is always very calm. Now, breathe.

OK, there are lots of customers and I... I can't do it! Because...

OK, no problem. I will see to it.

You deal with the gentleman, I will deal with the mayor

-and the other lady. It will all be perfect.

-OK, thank you.

Thank you, Madame Frou-Frou. Thank you.

Calm.

Calm.

-Hello, sir. I can finish your hair now.

-Great!

-But please be quick, the party starts soon.

-I can do quick!

SCISSORS CLICK

There. Done. I'll just turn you to the mirror, sir.

Wow! I look great.

-Can you show me the back?

-Of course.

-But now I can't see the mirror.

-Sorry!

-But now I can't see the back.

-Oh, right.

Tell you what, I'll turn you slowly while you try to look.

Bit more, bit more, bit more...

-Aw. No, man, too far.

-OK, erm...

I know, I'll turn you quickly while you have a glimpse.

Hold on tight. Ready? Go!

-That didn't work either!

-Oh, no. This isn't working.

What am I going to do? How am I going to show the customer

what I've done? Hold on, I remember. Do you?

When they've finished, hairdressers show the customer

what they've done using a hand mirror so they can see

the back of their head. I need a hand mirror!

There you are.

Very good.

Thank you, sir. You're done.

# Let's play. #

-See you next time, sir.

-Thank you.

Bye!

One happy customer.

Sidney, well done.

I have also seen to the mayor and her hair now looks fabulous.

-Oh, is it still purple?

-No, it is lovely, big and brown.

-Ah, great.

We are doing well.

-How do I look?

-You look magnificent.

-Thank you.

-Don't forget your scarf.

Oh, I shan't be needing that, dear boy.

I want to show off my hair, not hide it. You have it.

-Oh, that's very kind of you. Enjoy yourself at the party.

-I will.

Toodle-pip.

Two happy customers.

Ah, Sid.

Madam, you look fabulous!

Yes, Madame Frou-Frou finished me off and now I'm ready for the party.

-Thank you for all you did.

-Oh, it was nothing.

Yes, I know, but you tried your best.

-Bye.

-Great. Now, I better say goodbye to Madame Frou-Frou.

OK, my darling. I will send my best hairdresser.

Best hairdresser, is that me?

OK, bye-bye, darling.

Oh, Sid. That was Mrs Prendergast, one of my oldest customers.

-She wants her hair doing at home.

-Don't worry, leave it to me.

-I'll be on my way.

-Here's the hairdressing equipment. Bye-bye.

-Bye.

# Let's play. #

-Oh, hello.

-Mrs Prendergast?

I'm Sid. I've come to do your hair.

Oh, how lovely. I've been expecting you.

-Come on in.

-Thank you.

Right, I'm ready. Shampoo and set, please.

No problem. Oh, what's that?

Oh, that? It's just a little cake I made.

It's my 90th birthday today.

-90? Well, happy birthday, Mrs P! Are you having a party?

-Oh, no.

Just a quiet one. I don't think anyone knows it's my birthday.

That's a shame. I'll have to make sure she feels special.

Just sit back and relax. This won't take long.

# Let's play. #

Almost finished. Just one last curler to put in.

-Whoops! Where did it go?

-Over there, I think.

Oh, I hope it hasn't landed in your cake.

Oh, no. There it is.

It's wedged behind the sideboard.

I can't quite reach it. Oh, no.

How am I going to grab the curler? Hold on, I know what we can use.

Do you? We can use this!

Right, if I can just reach down then maybe I'll get...

Yes! Got it.

Oh, you are clever, Sid.

Thanks, Mrs P. Now I can finish her hair.

Oh, it looks lovely, Sid.

-Have a lovely day, Mrs Prendergast.

-Oh, I will.

I'll have a little bit of cake with a nice cup of tea.

Well, you have a great birthday. Don't get up. Bye!

# Let's play. #

What a nice lady.

It's a shame no-one's doing anything for her birthday.

Hello. Who's this?

Oh, Sid, isn't it? What are you doing here?

I've just been doing a lady's haircut.

-I thought you were going to a party?

-I am, a surprise party, here.

For Mrs P? She thought everyone had forgotten her birthday.

Forget her 90th birthday? No fear!

-She's my mum and I'm throwing her a surprise party.

-Your mum?

She will be pleased.

-Surprise!

-What's this?

-Happy birthday, Mummy.

-You didn't think I'd forgotten, did you?

-For me? How lovely.

So, Mrs Prendergast doesn't have to spend her birthday alone after all.

-Oh, and who's this I see?

-Oh, hello, Sid.

I've come for the surprise party.

-You're here to celebrate her birthday, too.

-Of course.

I'm providing the music. She's my great aunt.

-Well, you better come on in as well.

-Thanks, man.

Oh, and who's this I see? Hello, Mayor.

Are you going to Mrs Prendergast's party as well?

Of course. She was my school teacher. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

What a day it's been. We'd never have managed without

remembering everything we needed to know.

A hairdresser uses a specially shaped sink to

wash their customers' hair.

They use a gown to cover them to stop their clothes getting messy.

And when they've finished a haircut,

the hairdresser will show the customer what they've done

using a hand mirror so they can see the back of their head.

-I think it's time we went home.

-It's been lovely having you, Sid.

-You've been a wonderful hairdresser.

-Aw, thank you. Bye!

Toodle-pip!

# Let's play. #

-Oh, hey, Sid.

-Rebecca, I had the most fun being a hairdresser!

-Good.

-Maybe you can do my hair for me now?

-Why not?

-So, what have you been doing?

-Well, nothing really.

-I was about to throw away my trousers.

-Why?

-I tried to mend them but look, it didn't really do the trick.

-Oh.

A-ha! I have something that may help.

-A scarf?

-Well, you can use it as a patch for your trousers.

-Great idea.

-They'll be as good as new.

-Playing hairdressers was great fun.

What do you like to play?

# Let's play. #

We love to play rowers and row our boat like this.

SPLASH

I love to play monsters and I like to pull scary faces.

Argh!

When I play Roman soldiers, I march like this.

-It's fun to play.

-Start playing today.
