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

0:00:32 > 0:00:35# The Numberjacks are on their way! #
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Right, hide and seek! Hide and seek! - Yes, calm down!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- I'll hide.- And I'll seek.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47- COUNTS TO TEN QUICKLY - Hey! That's a bit quick.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50It is, isn't it? I've been practising.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- But I haven't had time to hide. - That's not MY fault.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58The rules are count to ten and then start seeking.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00But you must start slowly.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04But I'm in a fast mood today. I can't do slow.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07But you must do it slowly, like this.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10One...

0:01:22 > 0:01:24nine...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Oh, are you all right?
0:01:26 > 0:01:30No, I am not! I can't count THAT slowly.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I'd fall asleep before I got to one.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35All right then. All right.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40- If you can't count slowly, count more numbers.- More numbers?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Count to ten and keep on going.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47OK. COUNTS TO TEN QUICKLY
0:01:47 > 0:01:49..11...

0:01:54 > 0:01:56No, no, no.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58You're supposed to be hiding!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03And you're supposed to be counting properly past ten, like this.
0:02:03 > 0:02:0711...12...13...
0:02:07 > 0:02:1214...15...16...
0:02:14 > 0:02:17..17...18...

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Three? Three!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'M the one who's supposed to be hiding.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Three!
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Your slow counting has made me go bonkers!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Aaargh!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38That's better.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41As I was saying...11...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44WHIRRING Thank heavens for that. Come on!
0:02:44 > 0:02:4812...13...
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- What's going on?- 17...18...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Agent 33 here. Things are going wrong!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10But not for long!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- This boy on the beach... - Hang on, I'll put it on screen.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- ..He had one sandcastle.- Very nice.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28And then suddenly he had lots more. One, two, three, four, five more.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Then another five more. ..Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- And with the one he already had, that makes...- 11!
0:03:38 > 0:03:44So instead of one sandcastle, he has 11 sandcastles all over him.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Right, we need to send someone out there.- Thanks!
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- Four's been doing some useful counting today.- Have I?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Looks like it's Number Four.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00# We've got a problem, what shall we do?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03# Who's going out there, who do we choose?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05# We've got a problem to explore
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- # Who's going out there? - Number Four! #
0:04:09 > 0:04:11ALARM SOUNDS
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Keep practising the counting, Four.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38OK. 11...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- '12...'- Checking the room's clear.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Only Jasper. He's not bothered.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Stand by, Four.- 13...14...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51And off you go!
0:04:56 > 0:05:01ALL: Four, three, two, one, zero!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Need a four to land on.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Found a four.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- 'OK, Four?'.- Yes, I'm OK.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Good luck, Four.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm looking for anything strange.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30And I think I've seen something strange.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36- I know who that is.- So do I. The Numbertaker.- Aaargh!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38We need some info on the Numbertaker.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46# Numbertaker, Numbertaker, have you seen the Numbertaker
0:05:46 > 0:05:50# Taking all the numbers he can see
0:05:50 > 0:05:54# Picking, nicking, getting, netting
0:05:54 > 0:05:58# He's as mean a Numbertaker as can be
0:05:58 > 0:06:02# With his number sucker-upper, he's a number mucker-upper
0:06:02 > 0:06:06# He's as mean a Numbertaker as can be. #
0:06:07 > 0:06:13- What's the Numbertaker up to? - I don't know but I bet it is mean.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I can see the Numbertaker.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- He's written a three.- He's bad, writing on the wall.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30He's writing some more.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- He's written a one in front of the three.- Why?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41There's five more. And another five. That's ten...
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And the other 3 make 13.
0:06:44 > 0:06:4813 candyflosses, yummy!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Somehow I don't think it will be good.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Oh no!- Her mum is going to be angry.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02What's going on here? What IS the Numbertaker up to?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07The Numbertaker is a Number MAKER today.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12He made the number 3 into 13 by putting a 1 in front of it.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13That's amazing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Just putting a one in front makes it ten more.
0:07:18 > 0:07:243 becomes 13. Too big a number to handle.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26That's how he made extra sandcastles.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I found some extra shots of what happened.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33It's the Numbertaker MAKING numbers.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37One sandcastle...
0:07:37 > 0:07:41and a one in front makes it ten more?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Which is 11.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Just putting a one in front makes it ten more.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51If the Numbertaker keeps putting a one in front of numbers,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54anything could happen.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59A racing car with four wheels may become a car with 14 wheels!
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Ten more wheels... Ten becomes 14!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08CRASH!
0:08:08 > 0:08:14A glove with four fingers and a thumb, five digits, may get bigger.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19A glove for ten extra digits, making 15 digits!
0:08:19 > 0:08:26And a crab with six legs will get ten more legs, making it 16 legs!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Far too many.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31That Numbertaker must be stopped.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36The Numbertaker's up to his tricks again.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- What's he up to now? - She's got one sunshade.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47She's got ten more! 11!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51We've got to stop this.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Any ideas? How do we get things to the number they were before?
0:08:58 > 0:09:03The Numbertaker put one in front to make the numbers bigger.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07We've got to get rid of the one - that means ten more.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12If it's 14, get rid of the one in front and it becomes four again.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I'll get the Brain Gain going.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16We're sending Brain Gain to sort things out.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26# Brain Gain, Brain Gain, to sort the problem use our brain
0:09:26 > 0:09:30# The way to get your brains linking up together, joined up thinking. #
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Getting brain power now. Brain Gain!
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Rub out the one - that means ten more.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Rub out the one that means ten more.
0:09:45 > 0:09:4811. 11 goes back to one.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57There's 13.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Get rid of the one and make it three.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03This is good. We'll sort the Numbertaker.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05We need more Brain Gain though.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- You got it. One! One!- What did you say, Three?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15I said one! Oh no! I should've said rub out the one.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17You might've made an extra one.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Oh! That's weird.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Careful, that Brain Gain might turn a number into ten more.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Wooooh! Aaaah!- Four, what's up?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Wow-eeee!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33That's not four any more.
0:10:33 > 0:10:40That's 14. A one next to a four... means I'm 14. I'm so grown up!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Four, we've got Brain Gain work to do.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Yeah, hang on a minute. I'm 14, a teenager.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Nearly a grown-up. - Four! We've got work to do.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02Wait a minute, I've got things to do. Call me Mr Cool, yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Oh no! Teenagers are a bit wild sometimes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I'm not Four, I'm 14, the coolest dude you've ever seen.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16We've got to get Four back to normal.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19We've got to get him back to being Four.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25I'll send the proper Brain Gain this time to turn 14 back to four.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Rub out the one that means ten more.
0:11:28 > 0:11:3214 get rid of one is four again.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- Yeah, watch 14 go! - Wait till he stops.- Yeah!
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Get rid of the one that's making four into 14.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Woah! Aaaah!
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- I'm Four again.- Good.- It was fun.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53But you've got work that a teenager couldn't handle.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54He's too busy singing.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Ok then, let's get rid of those ones.
0:11:58 > 0:12:0111 sunshades back to one.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Now sort that Numbertaker.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Er, which one?
0:12:04 > 0:12:09That funny Brain Gain you sent through has turned one Numbertaker
0:12:09 > 0:12:12into 11 Numbertakers.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15They don't like each other.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18They're going to suck each other up!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21They're disappearing!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25ALL: Hurray!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Done it. Come back now, Four.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34All clear for landing.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39ALL: One, two, three, four!
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- Great work, Four.- Thanks. It was fun being 14.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- It was fun watching the Numbertakers disappear.- We have it on screen.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57One sand castle, 11 sand castles.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Three, one in front, that's 13.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Woah! That Numbertaker.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Making everything ten more than before.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Then Four was ten more. 14!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Oh my word.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19- Too many Numbertakers. Going... - Going...- Gone!
0:13:20 > 0:13:27- OK, One, you come up right next to me. And now we're 13.- Yeah.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Oh yeah! You must stay next to me or I can't be a teenager.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Oh, hi.- Hi.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Say it. BOTH: 13.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- That's good.- If one was in front of seven, or eight, or nine,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I wonder what numbers that would make.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Find out and call the Numberjacks.
