BALL SQUIDGES

I like watching the bloop ball.

And listening. Very peaceful.

Well, I like looking at my beautiful things.

And I think these...yes.

These are my three favourites.

One, two, three. Lovely.

-One, two...

-Three! Your counting is interrupting my blooping.

Well, your blooping is interrupting my counting!

And counting beautiful things is a bit more important.

That's what you think. Bloop, bloop...

Hey, Five, look! My three favourite beautiful things.

Let's have a look.

Oh, better count them again.

-There's still three.

-But they've moved!

-Yes, but...

-Well, I suppose I can see there are three. But...

One, two, three. Just to be sure.

Bloop, bloop!

-Four!

-Aaaagh! Oh, sorry.

Got a bit bloopy there.

My beautiful things are all over the place!

I definitely better count them now.

There's still three things.

-Even I can see that, and I'm bloopy!

-Yes, but...

One, two, three. Ah!

There's a problem. Come on!

Don't go away!

Here we go again! A call coming in.

'Agent 28 here.'

Things are going wrong.

- But not for long! - Have a look.

Hold on! I'm putting it on screen.

-The boy had some marbles, but they wouldn't move.

-Not much fun!

-And then...

-Not much fun at all.

Really bad. And this girl had some dolls.

And they fell over. And then they disappeared!

-There's someone on their way soon.

-Thanks!

It's me, it's got to be me!

-What?

-It's got, got, got to be me that goes out!

-Why?

-Didn't you notice? Put them on screen, quick!

Didn't you notice how many things there were? Three!

Three marbles, three dolls.

This has to be investigated by Numberjack Three! Me!

-OK.

-Yes!

-Three is going out!

# We've got a problem, what shall we do?

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

# Need to get out there Who will it be? #

-Who's going out there?

-Number Three!

-Are you sure about this, Three?

-Yes! Just send me out there!

Ready for launch! Check the room's empty...

The room's not empty!

-Ringing the doorbell.

-DING DONG!

Nearly clear...

They've gone.

Here we go!

ALL: Three, two, one, zero!

Looking for a three...

Need a three to land on...

-Got one!

-Yaaaaaargh!

Unh! Yes, I did it!

Plenty more to do, Three.

I'm on my way.

-Three's going to need help.

-Agent calling.

What do you think?

-Things have been coming in threes. Three marbles, three dolls.

-Yeah?

You'd better watch out for more lots of three things.

Good thinking! Three!

Shhh! I'm on a secret mission.

I know, but watch out for things that there are three of.

I will.

Can you see three of anything?

Yes! Look! The three red balloons.

-Something might go wrong with them.

-Yes, you're right.

Oh, no! Argh!

POP! POP! POP!

Three! What's going on?

I don't know. The three balloons have all popped.

-Can you see anything suspicious?

-Well, I...

-I know that hat.

-It's the Number Taker's!

-Argh! I want to go home.

-Stick with it, Three.

-Give me all our information on the Number Taker.

-On screen.

# Number Taker, Number Taker Have you seen a Number Taker?

# Taking all the number he can see

# Picking, nicking, getting, netting

# As mean a Number Taker as can be

# With his number sucker-upper He's a number mucker-upper

# He's as mean a Number Taker as can be! #

He's mucking up everything that comes in threes.

-Where's he going now?

-You've got to follow him, Three.

-What?!

-He's looking for things in threes.

-To make them disappear.

-Right.

If the Number Taker spots things in threes, anything could happen.

He might see three things here.

One, two, three. The three clouds.

He might see three things here. Three wheels.

Or the Number Taker might find three things here.

Three flags.

Someone's got to stop him.

-Three has got to stop him.

-I hope she can do it.

I can see that meanie, Number Taker. He's looking for things in threes.

How many people?

-Phew! Only two.

-Oh, no!

-Can anyone spot what I can see?

-Three chairs!

I know. And so does the Number Taker!

He's got a magnet!

-He's taken one of the chairs!

-Not a good start to their lovely meal.

Oh, no! The second chair!

That's the third chair going.

That Number Taker is ruining their meal.

-Try to spot anything else that's in threes.

-Look!

More threes!

The lady's rings! And the buttons on the man's sleeve!

The Number Taker's in control again.

-Oh dear, oh dear!

-This is terrible!

-We've got to stop this.

Agents! Agents! Any ideas? How do we stop the Number Taker?

The Number Taker is controlling things that come in threes.

If there weren't any threes, he couldn't do anything.

-How do we stop there being threes?

-Change the number of things.

Add one more thing to three things, make it four things!

-A much better number.

-I'll get Number One into the Brain Gain.

Hang on, Three. Help is on the way.

# Brain Gain, Brain Gain To sort the problem, use our brains

# The way to get your brains all linking up together

# Joined up thinking! # Getting Brain Power now. Brain Gain!

Go! Three add one makes four.

-Three...

-Add one...

-Makes four!

Sending Brain Gain now!

Woah! Waaaaah!

Three add one makes four!

Three add one makes four.

There's four rings and four buttons.

The Number Taker can't control things any more. We did it!

-Oh, no! Trouble again.

-There's three people!

Quick! Get another person.

OK. Sorry about this.

Three add one makes four!

-Did the trick!

-We did it.

-The Number Taker's not happy.

-We did it! We did it!

-Watch out, Three!

-He's after threes!

I'm a three! Argh!

Help!

Help!

-More Brain Gain! Three...

-Add one...

-Makes four!

I'm four! I'm four.

-I can't look.

-Three! Four! Three! Four! Three! Four!

-You did it, Three!

-ALL: Yeah!

Hurray! You've got a very funny shape, Four.

-It's a very NICE shape.

-Maybe. But get me back to normal, please.

Four...take away one...is three.

OK. Four take away one...

-..makes three! That's better.

-Come on back now, Three.

All clear for landing.

ALL: One, two, three!

-Well done, Three.

-I did it!

-It's all on screen.

The boy lost his marbles.

And the dolls went.

There was all sort of problems for the man and the lady.

-Three things in trouble every time.

-Very silly.

Adding one and making things four sorted everything out.

And I had to become four.

-Hurray!

-Everything's sorted.

Good to be back with my beautiful things.

And with my bloop ball.

It was only when you turned into the same shape as me

-that you beat the Number Taker.

-He ran off

-because it was such a horrible sight.

-Are you saying I'm ugly?

Well...I wouldn't call you one of my beautiful things, but...

you are one of my favourite things.

Oh...oh...I've come over all bloopy again. Oh!

But just in case that Number Taker is still around,

watch out for things that come in threes.

If you see any, call the Numberjacks.
