0:01:00 > 0:01:03it's catching the invisible ball in a paper bag. Watch this.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'll just get the ball out of my pocket.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Up in the air and... Wahey!
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Amazing!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11OK, I've got a trick for you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14How can you pick up this coffee mug without touching it?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Oh, that's easy.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19TRILLING

0:02:10 > 0:02:11Could it be me?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Could it be me?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16It's me!
0:02:16 > 0:02:17# Yes, it's me
0:02:17 > 0:02:19# Yes, it's me

0:02:23 > 0:02:24# It's me! #
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Look, there's the dressing-up room.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30# Let's play! #
0:02:30 > 0:02:31This is really exciting.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So what do you think we are playing today?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43So I've got on a woolly hat, a scuba diving outfit
0:02:43 > 0:02:47and a pair of elf shoes?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48This definitely isn't right.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Let's try again.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56OK, so this time we're wearing a red hat,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00a big bow tie, some funny trousers
0:03:00 > 0:03:01and shoes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04So what do you think we are playing today?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Yes, we're going to be clowns. So what do we need to know?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12A clown works in a circus and makes people laugh
0:03:12 > 0:03:16by doing tricks and being silly.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Some clowns don't speak.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Instead of talking, they act things out.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Clowns often pretend to be clumsy
0:03:24 > 0:03:28and they make people laugh by putting one foot behind the other
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and pretending to trip up.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35And clowns will sometimes play silly tricks with custard pies...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37to make the audience laugh.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Good. So that's what we need to remember.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43And do we need anything else?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50A spring? I wonder what that's for?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh, well, I'm sure it will come in handy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56OK, we've got everything we need. Let's go.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58# Let's play! #
0:03:58 > 0:03:59SID EXHALES
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Hey, Sid, we're being clowns!
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Oh, yes! Brilliant spotty bow tie.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Thanks. Well, I'm off. I'll see you later.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10OK. By the time you get back, I'll have worked out
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- how to move this mug without touching it.- I hope so.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- See you later, bye. - # Let's play! #
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Come on, let's play clowns.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31# Let's play! #
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Right, so where are we?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39That must be the big top, where the circus happens.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Right...
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And be quick. I've got shopping to do.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- I'm going! - Hello, are you going to the circus?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Yes. Have to buy the tickets, worse luck.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Oh. Don't you like the circus, then?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54No, not this one. This one's rubbish.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So why are you going?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- My nan's making me.- Well, it might not be as bad as you think.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I know, I'll tell you a clown joke.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07I say, I say, I say. Why was the clown sad?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Because he broke his funny bone!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13SHE LAUGHS
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Nan, do we have to go?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Yes. Hurry up!
0:05:23 > 0:05:24HE GROANS
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Hmm.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Maybe I should work on my joke telling.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32# Let's play! #
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oh, wow!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38This is THE biggest tent in the world!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Another clown!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Hello. Oh, you don't look very happy.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49What's your name?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Why won't he talk to me?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Oh, hold on, I remember, do you?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00That's it - some clowns don't speak.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Instead of speaking, they act things out instead.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05He must be a non-talking clown.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I just need him to act out what he wants to say.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Right, here goes.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So what's the matter, Mr Clown?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17HORN SOUNDS
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Bless you. Nasty cold you've got there!
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Oh! You have a cold.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25HORN SOUNDS
0:06:27 > 0:06:28No, thanks.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Wow, amazing!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Where are you going?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44To bed?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47But where am I going?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Oh, no.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I need to find someone who's in charge.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54# Let's play! #
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Maybe this chap can help.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Hello, my name's Rebecca.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Ah, you must be the replacement clown.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Couldn't believe it when Wizzo got a cold.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07And today of all days.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What's so special about today?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Today is the day that the circus will close down
0:07:12 > 0:07:16unless we put on a fantastic show and get people coming back.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Right.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20So we're relying on YOU and Coco
0:07:20 > 0:07:24to put on an amazing, a brilliant, a spectacular show.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27We are relying on you two to save the circus.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29No pressure, then.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So what are you waiting for? You need to rehearse!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Oh, yes, of course. Rehearse. Right, let's save this circus.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38# Let's play! #
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I need to find Coco the clown.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44This might be him.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Coco?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49No thanks, I've just had one.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51COCO LAUGHS
0:07:53 > 0:07:56No, I meant, is your name Coco?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yes, I know, I just...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Never mind. Who are you? - I'm Rebecca.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- I'm here to help you with the show tonight.- Great!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Have you been a clown a long time? - About ten minutes.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Right. Then I'll need to teach you some tricks.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'm all ears. And a funny nose.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13REBECCA LAUGHS
0:08:15 > 0:08:18First, I'm going to show you a balloon trick.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Ta-da!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Oh, wow, this is great!
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Can I try?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Best of luck.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Hey where'd it go?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I think you need some practice.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43But first, let me show you the hat trick.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45If I may borrow your hat.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48OK, you take the hat like this...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51then you put it down on the floor like this.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Then you step away from the hat.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Now you try and pick it up.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58This should be easy.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Hey, what happened?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04It's attached to an invisible wire.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Well, I can't see anything.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Right. That's kind of the point.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Excuse me.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17This is exciting. I'm learning loads of great clown tricks.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19What do we do with that?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22So I walk around and every time I turn around,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24you duck so it misses you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25THEY LAUGH
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I think we'd better practise all of this.- I think you're right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30# Let's play! #
0:10:06 > 0:10:08# Let's play! #
0:10:08 > 0:10:09It's time for the show.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I'm so nervous.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Where's Coco?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Make way. Coming through.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Ah, Rebecca. Are you ready for the big performance?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I don't know. I'm a bit scared.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Don't be scared. Be yourself.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25No, don't be yourself, be a clown.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29A good one, because if the audience don't like the show
0:10:29 > 0:10:32no-one will come to see it, then circus will close
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- and we'll all be out of a job. - Thanks.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I don't feel nervous at all now. Ooh, mummy!
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Right, the show is about to begin. - Hold on, Coco isn't here yet!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Well, you'll have to do something on your own.- I can't.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- I don't know any tricks on my own. - You'll think of something.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our magnificent circus!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53PEOPLE CHEER
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Oooh!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Coco! At last. Come on, we're on!
0:10:57 > 0:10:58How do I look?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Great. Where's your bow tie? - Aah, my tie!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I forgot to put it on. I'll go and get it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04No, wait! Coco, come back!
0:11:04 > 0:11:08And now it's time for our spectacular clown act -
0:11:08 > 0:11:11it's Coco and Rebecca!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Oh, no. I'm going to have to go on by myself.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15SHE GULPS
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Wish me luck.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Here they are, it's Coco and...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It's Rebecca the clown!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Hi. Hello. Erm...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35HE SIGHS
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- I knew it was going to be rubbish. - What are you waiting for?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Come on, Rebecca, do something funny.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Come along now, Rebecca, you can do it!
0:11:46 > 0:11:50What trick can I do? I have nothing.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Oh, hold on, I remember, do you?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Clowns often pretend to be clumsy and fall over.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00They make people laugh by putting one foot behind the other
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and pretend to trip up. That's what I could do.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Right, here goes.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09LAUGHTER
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It worked, they liked it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14HE LAUGHS
0:12:14 > 0:12:16That's good, that is.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21LAUGHTER
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Phew, I found it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Just in time. I've been keeping them happy,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- but now we need to put on a show. - Let's do it!
0:12:39 > 0:12:45Ladies and gentlemen, we are the amazing Coco and Rebecca.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56LAUGHTER
0:13:06 > 0:13:07# Let's play! #
0:13:11 > 0:13:14That was brilliant fun.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16They loved the plank trick, turning around,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19you ducking down - whoopsie daisy.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Oh, well, that's me done. I'm going to go for a rest.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- AUDIENCE:- More! More!- Hold on...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- They want us to do some more.- More?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30We haven't got anything else, we've done our tricks.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34We have to think of something. They're calling us back.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- COMPERE:- One more time, Coco and Rebecca!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'll go out and do something to make them laugh.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Think of something, make it quick!
0:13:41 > 0:13:45We've done all our tricks, but the audience want more.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47What are we going to do?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Oh, hold on, I remember. Do you?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Clowns will often play silly tricks with custard pies.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Let's do that!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19LAUGHTER
0:14:23 > 0:14:25LAUGHTER
0:14:33 > 0:14:34LAUGHTER
0:14:38 > 0:14:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Great pie routine!
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Yes, listen to them cheering.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I'm going to get cleaned up. You are a brilliant clown, Rebecca.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Thanks, Coco. So are you! It's great fun making people laugh.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Rebecca, the audience loved your tricks.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59This show will be the talk of the town.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Maybe we won't have to close the circus after all.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm glad I could help. I think I'd better be going.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Go? You can't go.- Can't I?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09No. The show is only halfway through.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- You have to go on at the end for the finale.- Finale?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Yes, the show always ends on one big last trick.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18The audience are expecting it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22You do have one last big fantastic trick, don't you?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25One big last fantastic trick? Of course.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Just give me a moment, I've just got to...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30That was great fun.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Coco! Coco! We have to do another trick.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- What?!- We need to do one last fantastic trick.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39If we don't, the audience will be disappointed,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42they won't tell their friends, the circus will close
0:15:42 > 0:15:45and everyone will lose their jobs! Oh, panic!
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I know, I'll tell a joke. Why did the clown cross the road?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52The audience expect a trick, not some rubbish joke
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- you found in a cracker. - You're right. We're doomed.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58We haven't got one last fantastic trick. It's all over.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Hold on. I know what we can use, do you?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I knew this would come in handy.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06What are you going to do with that?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Just you wait and see! Come on.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12# Let's play! #

0:16:26 > 0:16:30I present to you the Flying Clown.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54- Well done, Coco.- I had so much fun clowning around with you.- So did I.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Give Wizzo my best, hope he gets better soon.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Will do, Rebecca, and thank you, yeah.- Bye.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Well, we did it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05We helped to save the circus, but we'd never have done it
0:17:05 > 0:17:09without remembering everything we needed to know.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Instead of speaking, some clowns will act things out.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16They often make people laugh by pretending to trip up.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20And clowns will sometimes play silly tricks with custard pies
0:17:20 > 0:17:23to make the audience laugh.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I guess it's time we went home.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Rebecca, the audience loved you, they loved the show.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34We're going to have a full house for a long time to come.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I'm glad I could help, but I guess it's time for me to go. Bye!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Goodbye, Rebecca.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'm still trying to work out that trick
0:17:52 > 0:17:55about lifting the coffee mug without touching it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- How was it being a clown? - It was amazing! We saved the circus.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Let me show you how to pick up that mug without touching it.- OK.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06All you need is a balloon and a balloon pump.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I love playing foxes and running really fast.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Playing Vikings is fun and I get to blow on the horn like this.
