0:05:25 > 0:05:29Shhh! I'm on a secret mission.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I know, but watch out for things that there are three of.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34I will.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Can you see three of anything?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Yes! Look! The three red balloons.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Something might go wrong with them. - Yes, you're right.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Oh, no! Argh!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50POP! POP! POP!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Three! What's going on?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I don't know. The three balloons have all popped.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Can you see anything suspicious? - Well, I...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I know that hat. - It's the Number Taker's!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Argh! I want to go home. - Stick with it, Three.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Give me all our information on the Number Taker.- On screen.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19# Number Taker, Number Taker Have you seen a Number Taker?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23# Taking all the number he can see
0:06:23 > 0:06:27# Picking, nicking, getting, netting
0:06:27 > 0:06:30# As mean a Number Taker as can be
0:06:30 > 0:06:34# With his number sucker-upper He's a number mucker-upper
0:06:34 > 0:06:39# He's as mean a Number Taker as can be! #
0:06:39 > 0:06:43He's mucking up everything that comes in threes.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49- Where's he going now?- You've got to follow him, Three.- What?!
0:06:49 > 0:06:55- He's looking for things in threes. - To make them disappear.- Right.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00If the Number Taker spots things in threes, anything could happen.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03He might see three things here.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08One, two, three. The three clouds.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14He might see three things here. Three wheels.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Or the Number Taker might find three things here.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Three flags.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Someone's got to stop him.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- Three has got to stop him. - I hope she can do it.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43I can see that meanie, Number Taker. He's looking for things in threes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45How many people?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Phew! Only two.- Oh, no!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Can anyone spot what I can see? - Three chairs!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I know. And so does the Number Taker!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He's got a magnet!
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- He's taken one of the chairs!- Not a good start to their lovely meal.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, no! The second chair!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31That's the third chair going.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That Number Taker is ruining their meal.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Try to spot anything else that's in threes.- Look!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44More threes!
0:08:44 > 0:08:49The lady's rings! And the buttons on the man's sleeve!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51The Number Taker's in control again.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- Oh dear, oh dear!- This is terrible! - We've got to stop this.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Agents! Agents! Any ideas? How do we stop the Number Taker?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16The Number Taker is controlling things that come in threes.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20If there weren't any threes, he couldn't do anything.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- How do we stop there being threes? - Change the number of things.
0:09:24 > 0:09:31Add one more thing to three things, make it four things!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- A much better number.- I'll get Number One into the Brain Gain.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Hang on, Three. Help is on the way.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47# Brain Gain, Brain Gain To sort the problem, use our brains
0:09:47 > 0:09:50# The way to get your brains all linking up together
0:09:50 > 0:09:54# Joined up thinking! # Getting Brain Power now. Brain Gain!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Go! Three add one makes four.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Three...- Add one...- Makes four!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Sending Brain Gain now!
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Woah! Waaaaah!
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Three add one makes four!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Three add one makes four.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23There's four rings and four buttons.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27The Number Taker can't control things any more. We did it!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Oh, no! Trouble again. - There's three people!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Quick! Get another person.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52OK. Sorry about this.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Three add one makes four!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Did the trick!- We did it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- The Number Taker's not happy. - We did it! We did it!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Watch out, Three!- He's after threes!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I'm a three! Argh!
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Help!
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Help!
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- More Brain Gain! Three...- Add one...- Makes four!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'm four! I'm four.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41- I can't look.- Three! Four! Three! Four! Three! Four!
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- You did it, Three! - ALL: Yeah!
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Hurray! You've got a very funny shape, Four.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- It's a very NICE shape.- Maybe. But get me back to normal, please.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Four...take away one...is three.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06OK. Four take away one...
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- ..makes three! That's better. - Come on back now, Three.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18All clear for landing.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25ALL: One, two, three!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Well done, Three.- I did it! - It's all on screen.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37The boy lost his marbles.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40And the dolls went.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44There was all sort of problems for the man and the lady.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- Three things in trouble every time. - Very silly.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Adding one and making things four sorted everything out.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00And I had to become four.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- Hurray!- Everything's sorted.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Good to be back with my beautiful things.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And with my bloop ball.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16It was only when you turned into the same shape as me
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- that you beat the Number Taker. - He ran off
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- because it was such a horrible sight. - Are you saying I'm ugly?
0:13:25 > 0:13:31Well...I wouldn't call you one of my beautiful things, but...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34you are one of my favourite things.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Oh...oh...I've come over all bloopy again. Oh!
0:13:39 > 0:13:43But just in case that Number Taker is still around,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47watch out for things that come in threes.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50If you see any, call the Numberjacks.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03# The Numberjacks are on their way
0:14:03 > 0:14:05# The Numberjacks are on their way! #
