On and Off Numberjacks

# In an ordinary sofa In an ordinary room

# There are extraordinary heroes who are standing by to zoom...

# To wherever they are needed They are speeding out today

# The Numberjacks are on their way

# They will help you with your problems

# They are waiting for your call

# No problem is too big for them

# No problem is too small

# Things may all be going wrong but you can bet it's not for long

# The Numberjacks are on their way

# The Numberjacks are on their way! #

-Wow, the body blocks are really big today.

-Look great, don't they?

Great for jumping up.

-Great.

-I've got to try this.

-You go ahead.

One...

two...

three...

four...

and five.

Great stuff!

And...

five, four,

three, two,

one and zero.

Brilliant. OK if I go next?

-Go ahead.

-Right.

Watch this.

-GULPS

-I'm watching.

One...

two...

three...

Looking good, Six.

..four...

five...

six!

Yeah!

That was good.

And this is going to be fast and backwards.

Six, five,

four, three,

two, one, zero!

I don't have to do that, do I?

No, just do a simple jump up, so you end up on your own body blocks.

-OK.

-Take it steady.

-Don't worry. I will.

One...

two...

three...

-Oh!

-Steady.

It feels a bit high up here.

You've only got one more and you'll be on your own number.

All right.

Phew!

Yeah!

-I did it! I'm on number four.

-ALARM BLARES

The alarm! Come on!

Don't leave me.

We've got to go.

Just jump back. You can do it.

I can't!

Someone out there needs our help.

Oh. All right, then.

Four, three, two, one, zero.

I did it!

Agent 16 here.

-Come on!

-I got stuck on top of my body blocks.

-We're all here now.

Agent 16 called in.

Things are going wrong.

But not for long.

This boy's got a problem.

Hold on. I'm putting it on screen.

The things keep moving.

They're not staying on, they're coming off.

Weird.

Certainly strange.

He's getting a bit worried.

OK. We'll send someone right away.

Great. Thanks.

-Right, who wants to go? Four, are you ready for a mission?

-Er...

Yes, I am. Why not?

# We've got a problem What shall we do?

# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?

# We've got a problem to be solved Who's going out there?

# Number Four! #

Good luck to you, Four.

Thank you very much.

Checking the room is clear.

Only Jasper on the sofa. He won't mind. All clear.

Stand by, Four.

Off you go.

ALL: Four, three, two, one, zero!

Scanning for a landing. Need a four.

Found a four.

-You all right, Four?

-Yes, I think so. ..Yes.

OK, Four, good luck.

I'll keep my eyes open for weird goings-on.

What's going on with these things?

Agent 33 here.

The animal was ON the truck

and then he was OFF the truck.

The block was ON the pile, then it was off.

Four, it looks like things that have been put ON something

-are coming OFF.

-Right.

Look out for more problems like that.

I think I can see one right now.

He's on the skateboard...

He's off!

-He should've worn a helmet!

-He didn't just FALL off.

Something MADE him come off.

-More problems!

-Tell us.

The man can't stay on his unicycle.

On screen.

It's hard to stay on anyway,

but something's making it much harder.

He's coming off!

No, he's not!

Yes, he is!

He can't stay on.

He can't even get back on!

-These problems are getting worse.

-I think I've found another problem.

-He looks all right.

-I don't think so.

The lunchbox won't stay on his lap.

-It's on the bench now.

-On his lap!

-Bench!

-Lap!

-Bench!

-Lap!

Bench!

We've got to find out what's making everything go wrong.

I think I can guess. Mixing things up,

so instead of on, things are off.

-And listen...

-LAUGHTER

-I know that laugh!

-So do I. Look!

It's Spooky Spoon.

LAUGHTER

-Quick! Get the data on Spooky Spoon!

-Coming up.

Oh-oh.

# One, two, three, she's mean, she's bossy, she's very cruel

# Thinks she's great, thinks she's cool

# She's only plastic but she thinks she's fantastic!

# Who does she think she is? Spooky Spoo-oo-oon! #

We've got to sort her out, Four.

SHE LAUGHS It's little Numberjack Four!

How are you, you horrible thing?

I'm not horrible, but you are.

Ooh! Cheeky!

You don't want to be rude to me, you know, not to Spooky Spoon,

the coolest, loveliest, bestest thing ever.

-Now look...

-No, YOU look!

-I

-am doing what

-I

-like doing.

M-M-Mixing things up!

Things that should be on are now off, and it's all thanks to me,

Spooky Spoon!

If we don't stop Spooky Spoon mixing things up,

anything could happen.

You might be lying on your bed...

-Ow!

-The next minute, you're on the floor.

The candles and decorations are all on your cake...

and next minute, they're off it.

Or a clock could be on the mantelpiece...

and then it's off the mantelpiece.

Oh, disaster!

We've got to stop that Spooky Spoon.

Yes, look what she's doing now.

A man on a unicycle - not very interesting.

SHE CHUCKLES

The unicycle on a man - much more fun!

Oh! Man on bench.

Very, very dull.

Bench on man. Much better.

But the man doesn't like it.

So?! I don't like you.

-But I'll tell you what I do like.

-What?

Me.

Me! Me-e-e!

Look, we've got to help these people.

OK. What do we do?

Things aren't in the right place.

They're off when they should be on.

Send Brain Gain to put things back to where they belong.

OK. Get in the Brain Gain machine.

# Brain Gain! Brain Gain! To solve the problem use a brain

# The way to get your brains linked up together - joined-up thinking

# Getting Brain Power now! Brain Gain! #

We're sending Brain Gain to put things back.

Brain Gain coming up! On, on, on!

On, on, on!

Putting things back on.

Back on the bench.

Everything back on.

-Brilliant.

-Yeah, well done, Four.

Oooh, yes!

Well done, Four.

-You've spoilt my fun, you have.

-Good!

So, I need a bit more fun...

with you!

Now look here...

No, you look there.

-Looks like a good place for you to be on.

-Aaah!

Aaah!

Don't panic, Four.

Oh, yes, Four - DO panic!

Ha ha ha-ha!

You can balance, you know you can.

Yes, I can balance.

But how do I get down?

Look, there's a shelter not too far away.

Jump onto the shelter and down onto the bin...

and onto the ground.

Oh, very easy(!)

We're going to get you onto the shelter. Ready?

Oh...

Yes.

Off the pole, onto the shelter.

Yes! I'm on the shelter.

Off the shelter and onto the bin.

Yeay! On the bin!

Off the bin and onto the ground.

Yes! Good to be on the ground again.

And good to deal with that Spooky Spoon.

Give me all the on and off Brain Gain you can.

You got it.

Loads of on-off Brain Gain.

On, off. On, off.

On, off.

On the bin.

-Oh!

-Off the bin... Onto the shelter.

Off the shelter...

-Onto the pole!

-Oh no!

And off you go.

On your way, Spooky Spoon.

ALL CHEER

Done it! You can come back now.

All clear for landing.

ALL: One, two, three, four!

Great work, Four.

-Thanks.

-Sorted out that old Spooky Spoon.

We've got it all on screen.

The toys weren't staying on things.

The skateboarder wasn't staying on his skateboard.

Or the man on his unicycle.

That man had a hard time with his lunchbox.

All that Spooky Spoon's fault - mixing things up.

-We sported things out.

-But the Spooky Spoon sorted Four out.

No problem.

Four got off that pole.

-And Spooky Spoon got on it, and on her way.

-Hurray!

Think you can do it again, Four?

I think so. I might even try jumping onto Five.

Great! Be careful.

What can you find that is on something else?

Have a look, check things out, and call the Numberjacks.
