0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hey, Sid, I've been all over the house

0:00:44 > 0:00:47looking for things for our pictures

0:00:47 > 0:00:49and look what I've found.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Pasta? For lunch?

0:00:51 > 0:00:54No. I've found everything we need to make...

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Oh, a woolly jumper.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58No, a collage.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Brilliant!

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Just one question - what's a collage?

0:01:02 > 0:01:05It's when you stick lots of bits and pieces

0:01:05 > 0:01:08and odds and ends to a piece of paper to make a picture.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So what are you going to make? - I haven't decided yet.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Hold on, Sid. It's time.- Great!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19- # It's time to play! - # Whose turn is it today?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21- #Let it be me! - #Let it be me!

0:01:21 > 0:01:22- # Me!- Me!- Me!

0:01:24 > 0:01:28- # Let it be me! Let-let-let it be me.- Me!

0:01:28 > 0:01:30# Let it be me!

0:01:30 > 0:01:31# Let it be me.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34BOTH: # Let it be me Let it be me

0:01:35 > 0:01:39# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me

0:01:39 > 0:01:42# Let, let, let, let, let, let-let-let it be me!

0:01:42 > 0:01:46# Let it be me Let it be me

0:01:46 > 0:01:50# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me. #

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Could it be me?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Could it be me?

0:01:55 > 0:01:56It's me!

0:01:56 > 0:01:59# Yes, it's me Yes, it's me

0:01:59 > 0:02:02# I'm really, really, really, really happy! #

0:02:02 > 0:02:04It's me!

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Look, there's the dressing-up room!

0:02:08 > 0:02:09# Let's play! #

0:02:09 > 0:02:11This is really exciting.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15So, what are we playing today?

0:02:19 > 0:02:24Whoa. So, I'm wearing work boots, a pirate's outfit

0:02:24 > 0:02:25and a jester's hat.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27This can't be right.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, so now I'm wearing dungarees,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36I've got a tool belt and a sponge for cleaning things.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38So, what are we playing today?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41I know. We're playing window cleaners

0:02:41 > 0:02:45and we're going to clean windows. So, what do we need to know?

0:02:48 > 0:02:52A window cleaner is a person who cleans windows for a job.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55They clean the windows of all types of buildings.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Houses,

0:02:56 > 0:02:57shops,

0:02:57 > 0:03:00and even big tall towers.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Window cleaners use soapy water to clean windows.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08They use ladders when they have to reach high up.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12And they sometimes have to use a scraper

0:03:12 > 0:03:15to get rid of stubborn stains like bird droppings.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22So that's what we need to remember, but do we need anything else?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Bread? Stale bread?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I wonder what we are going to need that for.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Well, I guess we'll find out.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35So, we've got everything we need. Let's go.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Hi, Rebecca, how's the collage coming along?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Really well. I'm making a clown and I made

0:03:40 > 0:03:45- the shape of his face out of pasta shells.- That's looks really good.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Wait till I start sticking on his hair.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Shall I use the red or the blue? - How about both?- Both? Good choice.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Guess what we're playing today. - A giant baby?

0:03:54 > 0:03:59- No, we're playing window cleaners. - Of course! Have a great adventure.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I will.- I'm going to carry on with my clown collage.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'm going to use these jewels to make his colour.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- They can be the clown jewels! See you later.- See you later.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Let's play!

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Come on, let's play window cleaners.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Wee! Whoa!

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Let's play!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26So, where are we?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31What a lovely little village.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36I wonder if there are people around here who need their windows cleaned?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39I certainly hope so.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Can you smell those flowers?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Mmm. Those flowers smell lovely.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I wonder where they are.

0:04:52 > 0:04:57Ah, hello. I like your flowers. They look beautiful.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Oh, thank you, young man. It's nice of you to notice.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Well, I could smell them from all the way over there.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07They smell lovely and I really like the display.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh, I'm pleased you like them.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- So, is this a flower shop, then? - No, dear.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Then what do you sell? - Well, can't you see?

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Is this a mud shop?

0:05:19 > 0:05:23A mud shop? Whoever heard of one of those?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25No, I sell sweets.

0:05:25 > 0:05:31Delicious sweets. Can't you see the gobstoppers and jelly laces?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Not really. Because your window's a bit dirty.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Eh?

0:05:36 > 0:05:41Oh, you're right! My windows are really dirty.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, no, what am I going to do?

0:05:43 > 0:05:47It's today's the day they judge the County's Cleanest Village Award

0:05:47 > 0:05:49and our village was sure to win.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52But not with my windows looking like this.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Don't worry, madam. I can clean your windows for you.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58I am a window cleaner after all, you see.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Well, no time to lose. The judge will be here at 12 o'clock.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03CLOCK STRIKES

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Oh, now look. The village clock says 10 o'clock now, so that's, what...?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09He'll be here in two hours.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Don't worry, madam, I'll have your windows cleaned in no time at all.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Mrs...? - Sweettooth. Gladys Sweettooth.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Don't you worry, Gladys. I'll clean your windows

0:06:19 > 0:06:22quicker than you can say 'squiggle my squeegee'.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Squiggle my squeegee. Are they done?- What?

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Let's play.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Right, here we go.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33It doesn't look any cleaner to me.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36If anything, it looks worse.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oh, yes. You're right.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Perhaps it needs more water.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Oh, dear.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48The judge will be here soon and my window looks dirtier than ever.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Oh, dear. I don't know what's wrong.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54There must be something that I'm not doing.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, hold on. I remember, do you?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Window cleaners use soapy water

0:06:58 > 0:07:01when they want to get windows nice and clean.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04I've got plenty of water but I haven't got any soap.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07You haven't got anything to make my water soapy

0:07:07 > 0:07:09by any chance, have you?

0:07:09 > 0:07:14I've got just the thing. I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Perfect. Sparklier windows, here we come.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- How's it looking?- Delicious. Keep going. Nearly there.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32- All we needy is a little squeegee. - Ha-ha.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Well done, Sid. My windows look lovely.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Now, can you see what I sell?

0:07:42 > 0:07:47Gobstoppers, strawberry flavoured laces, coloured candy,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50and look, my favourite,

0:07:50 > 0:07:51jelly fried eggs.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54And, hopefully, now we're in with a chance

0:07:54 > 0:07:57of winning the County Cleanest Village Award.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Which reminds me, I need to finish polishing my gobstoppers off.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Thank you, Sid. Goodbye.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Goodbye. You're welcome. Ha-ha.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08A grand job, if I don't say so myself.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09And I do.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Oh, and that means it's 11 o'clock now,

0:08:12 > 0:08:14which means there's just one hour

0:08:14 > 0:08:17before the judge gets here to inspect the village,

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- which just gives me enough time to clean a few more windows.- Excuse me.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Oh, I wonder who that can be.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Hello, can I help you?

0:08:30 > 0:08:35I do hope so. I've been watching you clean Mrs Sweettooth's window.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39And I thought to myself, what a good job that window cleaner is doing.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42I could do with some help, you see. I've got a problem.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45My cottage windows were lovely and clean, you see.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50But I accidentally turned on my own muck spreader, you see. And look...

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Mucky windows.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Do you, do you...? - Do I see? Yes, I do.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I don't see how we're going to win this year's

0:08:57 > 0:09:01County Cleanest Village Award with my windows looking like that.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- And time is ticking away. - Don't worry. Ace window cleaner,

0:09:04 > 0:09:09Soapy Sid, to the rescue. I'll get your windows sparkling in no time.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Do you see?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15There. Lovely, clean windows.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16Oh, hold on.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19The upstairs window is dirty as well.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22How am I supposed to get up there? I can't get anywhere near it.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26I know. I'll try throwing my sponge up there instead.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Hey, do you mind?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34You're meant to be cleaning my windows, not my face.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Yes, sorry about that.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39I was trying to get up high to your window there.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh, no. How am I supposed to get up there?

0:09:42 > 0:09:46I can't get anywhere near it. What am I supposed to do?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Hold on. I remember. Do you?

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Window cleaners, when they need to reach up high, they use a ladder.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I need a ladder.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00And I think I know exactly where I can get one from.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Gladys, may I borrow your ladder?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh, help yourself, my dear.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Thank you.

0:10:11 > 0:10:16Hold on, hold on. Let me give you a hand, and by hand I mean foot.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Do you see? Safety first. - I see. Absolutely.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Let's get cracking.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Well done, Sid. And still 20 minutes until the judge arrives.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Glad to be of help. Good luck with the competition.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Right, well after all that work, I think I deserve a nice cup of tea.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Excuse me!- Or maybe not.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50I wonder if I could just borrow you for one teeny, tiny second.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- I am the mayor of this lovely little village.- Oh.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59Well, it's an honour to meet you, your honour... Your Majesty, er...

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Please just call me Tess.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06You've done such a wonderful job of making to our village sparkle.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10I wondered if I could call upon you to clean just one more window.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Well, there isn't much time left,

0:11:12 > 0:11:14but I guess I can do just one more window.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Splendid, Sidney. It's just over here.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Erm, I can't see any windows.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31The only thing I can see

0:11:31 > 0:11:36- is that clock right at the top of that tall tower.- Exactly.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40And it's that window in front of the clock I'd like you to clean.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42You see, it gets terribly dirty

0:11:42 > 0:11:45with all the birds that live in the clocktower.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Oh, I'm going to need a very tall ladder for that.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49Oh, don't worry, Sid.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54There's a window cleaner's platform attached to the front of the tower

0:11:54 > 0:11:55for that very reason.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57But you'd better hurry, though.

0:11:57 > 0:12:02Right. Leave it to me. I'll have that window cleaned in record time.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Mustn't forget the safety harness.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12There. Right now, there isn't a moment to lose.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22Ah, this seems like a good place to check the time.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's 10 to 12.

0:12:24 > 0:12:2710 to 12! That means I've only got ten minutes

0:12:27 > 0:12:30to finish cleaning this window before the judge arrives

0:12:30 > 0:12:32to inspect the village.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33It really is a long way up.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Maybe I'm afraid of heights after all.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Ah, hello little birdie.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm only here to clean this window.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45This window really is dirty.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48What funny looking spots of dirt.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50I wonder what they are.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Birdie! What did you do that for?

0:12:52 > 0:12:56The mayor did say it was the birds making these windows dirty.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00I'd better get rid of these birds before I clean this window.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03OK. Shoo! Shoo, birdies, shoo away.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08I need to find a way of getting rid of them long enough

0:13:08 > 0:13:11for me to clean this window and for it to stay clean.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13At least until the judge has been.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Ah, hold on. I know what I can use. Do you?

0:13:18 > 0:13:22This loaf of stale bread. I knew it would come in handy for something.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25I can use it to feed the birds.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29That definitely got their attention. We're going down.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Sh!

0:13:57 > 0:14:02There. Lots of happy birds, one happy window cleaner.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06I'd better get this window cleaned before the judge arrives.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07Right.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, it's not working.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20What's going wrong?

0:14:20 > 0:14:25There's plenty of soap in the water. Am I forgetting anything else?

0:14:25 > 0:14:29How can I clean this window before the judge arrives?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Oh, hold on. I remember. Do you?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Window cleaners sometimes use a scraper

0:14:35 > 0:14:39to get rid of stubborn stains like bird droppings.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42This scraper will get me out of a scrape.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50There, that did the trick.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54And it looks like the judge is just arriving, so that means it's...

0:14:54 > 0:14:55CLOCK STRIKES

0:14:55 > 0:14:5712 o'clock. Ee-yow.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Oh, excuse me.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Are you by any chance the judge of the Cleanest Village competition?

0:15:05 > 0:15:08That's right. I'm Miss Markham. And you are?

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I'm Soapy Sid, window cleaner extraordinaire.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15- I cleaned lots of windows in this village, you know.- Is that right?

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, I have to say, this window is remarkable.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22Remarkably dirty, that is. I can hardly see a thing through it.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Excuse me, Miss Markham.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Thought so.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31- May I borrow your glasses for a moment?- If you think it will help.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Ah, I knew it.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36My windows aren't dirty at all.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39The judge, Miss Markham, had been looking at them

0:15:39 > 0:15:43through dirty glasses. Luckily, I'm a window cleaner

0:15:43 > 0:15:46and I know all about cleaning panes of glass.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49There you are, Miss Markham.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56My goodness, it has got bright all of a sudden.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00Oh, and look, this window is spotlessly clean.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04As is this whole village, even the clocktower.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11Well, this is by far the cleanest village I have seen all day.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14And a worthy winner of the competition.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18I must go and present this rosette to the mayor. Excuse me.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Goodbye. Thank you.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24Gladys, did you hear that? We won the competition.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Oh, brilliant news. Well, we couldn't have done it without you.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31And here's a special thank you for you.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Oh, jelly fried eggs. Yummy.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Well, you said they were your favourite.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Don't eat them all at once.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42- I won't. Thank you.- Goodbye.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Well, it's been a day of good, clean fun.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48But we'd never have got those windows clean

0:16:48 > 0:16:51without remembering everything we needed to know.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55Window cleaners use soapy water to clean windows.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01They use ladders when they need to reach high up.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04And they sometimes have to use a scraper

0:17:04 > 0:17:07to get rid of stubborn stains like bird droppings.

0:17:09 > 0:17:14Ah, Sidney, I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18You helped us to win the County's Cleanest Village competition.

0:17:18 > 0:17:23Thank you. It was nothing, you know. All in a day's work, your honour.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Er, Your Majesty. I mean, your Highness, er, Tess.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Well, you did just the most wonderful window cleaning we've ever seen.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36But how on earth did you keep those birds off the clocktower?

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Well, it wasn't easy.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42But in the end, I just remembered I needed to use my loaf.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48So, it looks like it's time to go home. Goodbye everybody.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49Goodbye, Sidney.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Hi, Rebecca. How's the collage coming along?

0:18:00 > 0:18:01See for yourself.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Ah, that looks brilliant. Only, where are his eyes?

0:18:05 > 0:18:08That's just the thing. I finished everything else,

0:18:08 > 0:18:11but I can't find anything for the clown eyes.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Well, I really took a shine to being a window cleaner

0:18:14 > 0:18:18and for doing such a good job, I got these as a thank you.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Take one. In fact, no, take two.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Thanks.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Hold on. These are perfect for the clown eyes.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Look at that. Thanks, Sid. - Glad I could help.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Now maybe I can start my own collage soon.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38Playing window cleaners was great fun. What do you like to play?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42I like playing ninjas and I jump like this.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48This is how I bounce the ball when I'm playing basketball.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54When I play horse rider, I ride my horse like this.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04- It's fun to play. - Start playing today.- See you soon.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Go to...
