Hey, Sid, I've been all over the house

looking for things for our pictures

and look what I've found.

Pasta? For lunch?

No. I've found everything we need to make...

Oh, a woolly jumper.

No, a collage.

Brilliant!

Just one question - what's a collage?

It's when you stick lots of bits and pieces

and odds and ends to a piece of paper to make a picture.

-So what are you going to make?

-I haven't decided yet.

-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!

-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?

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?

Whoa. So, I'm wearing work boots, a pirate's outfit

and a jester's hat.

This can't be right.

Oh, so now I'm wearing dungarees,

I've got a tool belt and a sponge for cleaning things.

So, what are we playing today?

I know. We're playing window cleaners

and we're going to clean windows. So, what do we need to know?

A window cleaner is a person who cleans windows for a job.

They clean the windows of all types of buildings.

Houses,

shops,

and even big tall towers.

Window cleaners use soapy water to clean windows.

They use ladders when they have to reach high up.

And they sometimes have to use a scraper

to get rid of stubborn stains like bird droppings.

So that's what we need to remember, but do we need anything else?

Bread? Stale bread?

I wonder what we are going to need that for.

Well, I guess we'll find out.

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

Hi, Rebecca, how's the collage coming along?

Really well. I'm making a clown and I made

-the shape of his face out of pasta shells.

-That's looks really good.

Wait till I start sticking on his hair.

-Shall I use the red or the blue?

-How about both?

-Both? Good choice.

-Guess what we're playing today.

-A giant baby?

-No, we're playing window cleaners.

-Of course! Have a great adventure.

-I will.

-I'm going to carry on with my clown collage.

I'm going to use these jewels to make his colour.

-They can be the clown jewels! See you later.

-See you later.

Let's play!

Come on, let's play window cleaners.

Wee! Whoa!

Let's play!

So, where are we?

What a lovely little village.

I wonder if there are people around here who need their windows cleaned?

I certainly hope so.

Can you smell those flowers?

Mmm. Those flowers smell lovely.

I wonder where they are.

Ah, hello. I like your flowers. They look beautiful.

Oh, thank you, young man. It's nice of you to notice.

Well, I could smell them from all the way over there.

They smell lovely and I really like the display.

Oh, I'm pleased you like them.

-So, is this a flower shop, then?

-No, dear.

-Then what do you sell?

-Well, can't you see?

Is this a mud shop?

A mud shop? Whoever heard of one of those?

No, I sell sweets.

Delicious sweets. Can't you see the gobstoppers and jelly laces?

Not really. Because your window's a bit dirty.

Eh?

Oh, you're right! My windows are really dirty.

Oh, no, what am I going to do?

It's today's the day they judge the County's Cleanest Village Award

and our village was sure to win.

But not with my windows looking like this.

Don't worry, madam. I can clean your windows for you.

I am a window cleaner after all, you see.

Well, no time to lose. The judge will be here at 12 o'clock.

CLOCK STRIKES

Oh, now look. The village clock says 10 o'clock now, so that's, what...?

He'll be here in two hours.

Don't worry, madam, I'll have your windows cleaned in no time at all.

-Mrs...?

-Sweettooth. Gladys Sweettooth.

Don't you worry, Gladys. I'll clean your windows

quicker than you can say 'squiggle my squeegee'.

-Squiggle my squeegee. Are they done?

-What?

Let's play.

Right, here we go.

It doesn't look any cleaner to me.

If anything, it looks worse.

Oh, yes. You're right.

Perhaps it needs more water.

Oh, dear.

The judge will be here soon and my window looks dirtier than ever.

Oh, dear. I don't know what's wrong.

There must be something that I'm not doing.

Oh, hold on. I remember, do you?

Window cleaners use soapy water

when they want to get windows nice and clean.

I've got plenty of water but I haven't got any soap.

You haven't got anything to make my water soapy

by any chance, have you?

I've got just the thing. I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Perfect. Sparklier windows, here we come.

-How's it looking?

-Delicious. Keep going. Nearly there.

-All we needy is a little squeegee.

-Ha-ha.

Well done, Sid. My windows look lovely.

Now, can you see what I sell?

Gobstoppers, strawberry flavoured laces, coloured candy,

and look, my favourite,

jelly fried eggs.

And, hopefully, now we're in with a chance

of winning the County Cleanest Village Award.

Which reminds me, I need to finish polishing my gobstoppers off.

Thank you, Sid. Goodbye.

Goodbye. You're welcome. Ha-ha.

A grand job, if I don't say so myself.

And I do.

Oh, and that means it's 11 o'clock now,

which means there's just one hour

before the judge gets here to inspect the village,

-which just gives me enough time to clean a few more windows.

-Excuse me.

Oh, I wonder who that can be.

Hello, can I help you?

I do hope so. I've been watching you clean Mrs Sweettooth's window.

And I thought to myself, what a good job that window cleaner is doing.

I could do with some help, you see. I've got a problem.

My cottage windows were lovely and clean, you see.

But I accidentally turned on my own muck spreader, you see. And look...

Mucky windows.

-Do you, do you...?

-Do I see? Yes, I do.

I don't see how we're going to win this year's

County Cleanest Village Award with my windows looking like that.

-And time is ticking away.

-Don't worry. Ace window cleaner,

Soapy Sid, to the rescue. I'll get your windows sparkling in no time.

Do you see?

There. Lovely, clean windows.

Oh, hold on.

The upstairs window is dirty as well.

How am I supposed to get up there? I can't get anywhere near it.

I know. I'll try throwing my sponge up there instead.

Hey, do you mind?

You're meant to be cleaning my windows, not my face.

Yes, sorry about that.

I was trying to get up high to your window there.

Oh, no. How am I supposed to get up there?

I can't get anywhere near it. What am I supposed to do?

Hold on. I remember. Do you?

Window cleaners, when they need to reach up high, they use a ladder.

I need a ladder.

And I think I know exactly where I can get one from.

Gladys, may I borrow your ladder?

Oh, help yourself, my dear.

Thank you.

Hold on, hold on. Let me give you a hand, and by hand I mean foot.

-Do you see? Safety first.

-I see. Absolutely.

Let's get cracking.

Well done, Sid. And still 20 minutes until the judge arrives.

Glad to be of help. Good luck with the competition.

Right, well after all that work, I think I deserve a nice cup of tea.

-Excuse me!

-Or maybe not.

I wonder if I could just borrow you for one teeny, tiny second.

-I am the mayor of this lovely little village.

-Oh.

Well, it's an honour to meet you, your honour... Your Majesty, er...

Please just call me Tess.

You've done such a wonderful job of making to our village sparkle.

I wondered if I could call upon you to clean just one more window.

Well, there isn't much time left,

but I guess I can do just one more window.

Splendid, Sidney. It's just over here.

Erm, I can't see any windows.

The only thing I can see

-is that clock right at the top of that tall tower.

-Exactly.

And it's that window in front of the clock I'd like you to clean.

You see, it gets terribly dirty

with all the birds that live in the clocktower.

Oh, I'm going to need a very tall ladder for that.

Oh, don't worry, Sid.

There's a window cleaner's platform attached to the front of the tower

for that very reason.

But you'd better hurry, though.

Right. Leave it to me. I'll have that window cleaned in record time.

Mustn't forget the safety harness.

There. Right now, there isn't a moment to lose.

Ah, this seems like a good place to check the time.

It's 10 to 12.

10 to 12! That means I've only got ten minutes

to finish cleaning this window before the judge arrives

to inspect the village.

It really is a long way up.

Maybe I'm afraid of heights after all.

Ah, hello little birdie.

Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.

I'm only here to clean this window.

This window really is dirty.

What funny looking spots of dirt.

I wonder what they are.

Birdie! What did you do that for?

The mayor did say it was the birds making these windows dirty.

I'd better get rid of these birds before I clean this window.

OK. Shoo! Shoo, birdies, shoo away.

I need to find a way of getting rid of them long enough

for me to clean this window and for it to stay clean.

At least until the judge has been.

Ah, hold on. I know what I can use. Do you?

This loaf of stale bread. I knew it would come in handy for something.

I can use it to feed the birds.

That definitely got their attention. We're going down.

Sh!

There. Lots of happy birds, one happy window cleaner.

I'd better get this window cleaned before the judge arrives.

Right.

Oh, it's not working.

What's going wrong?

There's plenty of soap in the water. Am I forgetting anything else?

How can I clean this window before the judge arrives?

Oh, hold on. I remember. Do you?

Window cleaners sometimes use a scraper

to get rid of stubborn stains like bird droppings.

This scraper will get me out of a scrape.

There, that did the trick.

And it looks like the judge is just arriving, so that means it's...

CLOCK STRIKES

12 o'clock. Ee-yow.

Oh, excuse me.

Are you by any chance the judge of the Cleanest Village competition?

That's right. I'm Miss Markham. And you are?

I'm Soapy Sid, window cleaner extraordinaire.

-I cleaned lots of windows in this village, you know.

-Is that right?

Well, I have to say, this window is remarkable.

Remarkably dirty, that is. I can hardly see a thing through it.

Excuse me, Miss Markham.

Thought so.

-May I borrow your glasses for a moment?

-If you think it will help.

Ah, I knew it.

My windows aren't dirty at all.

The judge, Miss Markham, had been looking at them

through dirty glasses. Luckily, I'm a window cleaner

and I know all about cleaning panes of glass.

There you are, Miss Markham.

My goodness, it has got bright all of a sudden.

Oh, and look, this window is spotlessly clean.

As is this whole village, even the clocktower.

Well, this is by far the cleanest village I have seen all day.

And a worthy winner of the competition.

I must go and present this rosette to the mayor. Excuse me.

Goodbye. Thank you.

Gladys, did you hear that? We won the competition.

Oh, brilliant news. Well, we couldn't have done it without you.

And here's a special thank you for you.

Oh, jelly fried eggs. Yummy.

Well, you said they were your favourite.

Don't eat them all at once.

-I won't. Thank you.

-Goodbye.

Well, it's been a day of good, clean fun.

But we'd never have got those windows clean

without remembering everything we needed to know.

Window cleaners use soapy water to clean windows.

They use ladders when they need to reach high up.

And they sometimes have to use a scraper

to get rid of stubborn stains like bird droppings.

Ah, Sidney, I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done.

You helped us to win the County's Cleanest Village competition.

Thank you. It was nothing, you know. All in a day's work, your honour.

Er, Your Majesty. I mean, your Highness, er, Tess.

Well, you did just the most wonderful window cleaning we've ever seen.

But how on earth did you keep those birds off the clocktower?

Well, it wasn't easy.

But in the end, I just remembered I needed to use my loaf.

So, it looks like it's time to go home. Goodbye everybody.

Goodbye, Sidney.

Hi, Rebecca. How's the collage coming along?

See for yourself.

Ah, that looks brilliant. Only, where are his eyes?

That's just the thing. I finished everything else,

but I can't find anything for the clown eyes.

Well, I really took a shine to being a window cleaner

and for doing such a good job, I got these as a thank you.

Take one. In fact, no, take two.

Thanks.

Hold on. These are perfect for the clown eyes.

-Look at that. Thanks, Sid.

-Glad I could help.

Now maybe I can start my own collage soon.

Playing window cleaners was great fun. What do you like to play?

I like playing ninjas and I jump like this.

This is how I bounce the ball when I'm playing basketball.

When I play horse rider, I ride my horse like this.

-It's fun to play.

-Start playing today.

-See you soon.

See you soon.
