0:00:02 > 0:00:04# In an ordinary sofa in an ordinary room
0:00:04 > 0:00:08# There are extraordinary heroes who are standing by to zoom!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11# To wherever they are needed They are speeding out today
0:00:11 > 0:00:13# The Numberjacks are on their way
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# They will help you with your problems
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# They are waiting for your call
0:00:21 > 0:00:25# No problem is too big for them
0:00:25 > 0:00:26# No problem is too small
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Things may all be going wrong but you can bet it's not for long
0:00:29 > 0:00:32# The Numberjacks are on their way
0:00:32 > 0:00:35# The Numberjacks are on their way! #
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Are you ready, Five?
0:00:39 > 0:00:45- Yeah!- This is going to be a tricky jump.- We'll be fine.- OK.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- One...- Two...
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- It's me!- Whoa!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Oh. Did I surprise you?
0:00:52 > 0:00:56We were just about to do a very tricky jump.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- I could do it.- Watch.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01One, two, three!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Whooo!- Wahey!- Whooo!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Wow! I couldn't do that!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- It takes a lot of practice.- OK.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17- That's all right. I'll go and find Four.- See you later!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Four will be really glad to see me.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Now, the important thing is not to head the ball too hard...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- It's me!- Oooh!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Oh no! Look what you did, Three!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Oooh!- I didn't know what you were doing!
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- It was going well till you got here! - I'm sorry!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42No-one wants me today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Come on, quick!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Agent!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Hello, Agent 25 here. Things are going wrong!
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- But not for long! - This girl's got a problem.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Hold on, I'm putting it on screen.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- It's just got a wheel missing. - But why is there a wheel missing?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35It just went.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38OK. We're sending someone out.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Thanks.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Well, I think I should go.- Why?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45There should have been four wheels.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48It's a problem about four, so I should sort it.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52But there were three wheels, so I should go.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Four!- Three!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Well, maybe...- You should both go!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Yeah!- Yeah! - You look after Three, now.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Of course.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Come on! Get ready for launching!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Shall I go first?- Go for it!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11# Who's going out there, who do we choose?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13# Need to get out there, who will it be?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- # Who's going out there? # - Four and Three!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Good luck!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Ready for launch! Checking the room's empty...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49All clear. Let's go!
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Four! Three! Two! One! Zero!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12We've...got a problem.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14What's gone wrong?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17The launcher's broken. Three's gone without me!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Just my luck. Hope Three's all right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Closing the doors!
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- Three's on her own! - Finding her a three to land on.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Finding threes...
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Got a three!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49All right, Three?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Yes. Where's Four?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56We had a problem with the launcher. You're on your own!
0:04:56 > 0:05:02- Oh.- Any luck with the launcher, Four?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's going to be a long job, Six.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10You're going to have to handle this alone, Three.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I...I can do it. I'll check the car.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22- Yes. One, two, three wheels.- That's why it's not working properly.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27I'm sure a car could work somehow with three wheels.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Another Agent calling in!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Agent 34 here. More problems in the cafe.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35She's folding the napkins!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Is that the problem?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42No, this is. Look.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52One of the table legs has disappeared!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55One, two...three legs only!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Hope nothing else goes!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Oh no! Another leg gone!
0:06:04 > 0:06:09What's going wrong with all these things? Is there a link?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Agent 88 here.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16There are three wheels on the car instead of four, and it don't work.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- The table and chair have got three legs.- Three doesn't work.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Of course three works! Three is a very good number.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29It's not working as well as four at the moment.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Ha ha ha!- The Shape Japer!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- What do we know about the Shape Japer?- Checking out the data.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Looks like the Shape Japer's back.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44# Shape Japer, she's really very strange
0:06:44 > 0:06:48# Shape Japer, she loves to make things change
0:06:48 > 0:06:53# Changing faces, changing sides
0:06:53 > 0:06:56# Changing shapes every single time
0:06:56 > 0:07:01# Changing shapes is the Japer's game
0:07:01 > 0:07:04# The Shape Japer's back again. #
0:07:04 > 0:07:09But why is the Shape Japer interested in numbers today?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Ha ha ha!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13What's she laughing at?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Three! Ha ha ha!- What? Me?
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- She's laughing at everything with three.- That's not fair.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Maybe the Shape Japer likes a different number.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28But what number? And why?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32It's no good. I still can't fix the launcher.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36The Shape Japer is a square, so she likes Number Four.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- But why?- Cos a square has got four corners, and four sides.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Four! Ha ha ha ha!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47After her, Three!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- She thinks four is best! - Well, she has a point.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58I'll find some things where three does work very well.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00CHEERING
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Sounds interesting. I'll check it out.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08And I'll get back to fixing the launcher.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Got to find some threes!
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- We'll look!- Check the faces. Anything there that comes in threes?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Eyes...one, two. No good.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29Lots of twos around. Two legs, two arms...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31We can see lots of fours, too.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Four wheels on the buggy...
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- Four legs on the table. - Four! Ha ha ha ha ha!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47I WILL find things with three in!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49We're all looking!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Look! A buggy with three wheels!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yes!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Look! A three-legged stool!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Oh, yes!- What's happening over there?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08It's the three-legged race. Sort of three legs.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yes, yes, yes!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15We need more threes! Any shapes with three corners and three sides?
0:09:15 > 0:09:21Look at the sandwiches! They're triangles, with three sides!
0:09:21 > 0:09:28- Four! Ha ha ha ha!- We need more triangles to beat the Shape Japer!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I can't see any more triangles.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Then I'll have to make some. I bet I can.- How?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Get some straws to make a shape with three sides.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I'll power up the Brain Gain machine!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50# Brain Gain, Brain Gain
0:09:50 > 0:09:52# To sort the problem, use our brains
0:09:52 > 0:09:56# The way to get your brains linking up together, joined-up thinking. #
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Getting brain power now. Brain Gain!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Three straws together. Make a triangle!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Three fingers together make a triangle.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Make a triangle!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Three straws make a triangle!
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Yes! Three corners and three sides!
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Ha!
0:10:28 > 0:10:32We've got her worried, but we need a bigger triangle!
0:10:32 > 0:10:36I'll find some things to make a bigger triangle.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I wonder...
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Yes, why not? Three children to make a triangle!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Three children to make a triangle!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Three corners! And three sides!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yes. Well done, Three.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59See, Shape Japer? I found lots of things with three in them.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- And make triangles!- Nah!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04We've got her worried.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Square! Ha ha! Ha ha!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11She's still going on about four sides!
0:11:11 > 0:11:16If we could turn that square rug into a triangle, that would show her.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I'm sure I've seen a square being turned into a triangle...
0:11:20 > 0:11:22When? Try and remember!
0:11:22 > 0:11:27When did we see a square being folded into a triangle?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Back in the cafe. The waitress folding the napkins.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34I'll put it on screen.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40- Yes! Look at that! - I'll do that with the picnic rug.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41We'll help.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Square into triangle! Square into triangle!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Square into triangle!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yargh!
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Yes! Triangle! Three corners, and three sides!
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Now, fold that Shape Japer, too! Square into triangle!
0:12:04 > 0:12:08She won't like it. Square into triangle!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Aaaaagh!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Aaaaagh!
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- I've fixed the machinery.- Great. Come back now, Number Three.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Checking the room's clear... it's clear!
0:12:33 > 0:12:36One, two, three!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well done, Three!
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- That was a bit tricky! - Got it all on screen for you to see.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51The girl's car should have had four wheels.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53The table needed four legs.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58That Shape Japer! Saying things with three don't work!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Just cos she was square today, she liked four!
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- But we found lots of things with three.- And we made triangles, too!
0:13:06 > 0:13:11- Three corners, and three sides! - Yeah!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15And we turned a square into a triangle!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17And got rid of the Shape Japer.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- And everything back to normal. - Hurray!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- So, I'm in the middle.- Yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31For this game, you need three people to play. To you...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Oooh!- I'll get it, I'll get it!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- What's the matter? - I was just wondering.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43If we'd folded a corner of that rug again, what shape would it have made?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Find out, and call the Numberjacks!
