4 and a Bit 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! #

OK, I go first.

And this one.

All right. I think I'll do the same.

There...

and there.

I wonder what it's going to be.

-Add one of these.

-That's good for me.

I know what it's going to be!

One more piece from me.

And from me.

Yes! It's a person.

A little person.

Do you like it?

I think we did a good job.

-Well, you just made your side match the same as 5's.

-So?

So you could you have made some things a bit different.

-I didn't WANT them different.

-You could have made the person wave.

Hello, little person.

But I like my side being the same.

Or you could have made him dance a bit.

Dance, little person.

# La, la, la, la, la. #

I just wanted my side to be exactly the same as yours.

I'm going to dance with the little person. # La, la, la, la, la... #

Careful, 3.

-Look what you've done to the little person.

-He's all right.

No, he's not. Half his head's fallen off, for a start!

Don't worry. We can put it all back.

-How?

-Your side used to match my side.

-Yes.

So we can put it all back together.

Put my side of the head back to match.

And the body and the arm match.

And the leg matches.

There he is. Both sides match. Exactly the same.

-The alarm. Come on!

-Bye, little person.

Agent calling in.

Agent 17 here.

What's up, Agent 17?

-Things are going wrong.

-Not for long.

This boy and his card.

Hold on. I'm putting it on screen.

He's making a card, but look what's happening to one side.

That side doesn't match any more.

And this dad was cutting a cake in half.

But look!

One side of the cake's changed too.

-Can you send someone?

-Right away.

4, do you think YOU could do it?

Uh...why not?

# 4, 4

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

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

-# Who's going out there? #

-Number 4.

Checking the room's clear.

All clear.

4, 3, 2, 1, zero!

Got to find a 4.

Need that 4 to land on.

Found a 4.

Hang on!

Agent 22 here. The builder's got a problem.

-I'm on my way.

-The builder's having trouble with his wood.

He's going to have to saw that extra bit off.

That's better.

But look.

That's one weird piece of wood.

He's going to be here all day.

Agents calling in. Hello, Agents.

Agent 41 here. The two sides should be the same. They should match.

The sides matched then they didn't.

The sides of the cake matched then they didn't.

And the two sides of the wood still aren't matching. I think I know why.

Look, the Shape Japer's here.

EVIL LAUGHTER

-Watch out, 4.

-We need information on the Shape Japer.

Putting it on screen.

# Looks like the Shape Japer's back

# Shape Japer

# She's really very strange

# Shape Japer She loves to make things change

# Changing faces, changing size

# Changing shapes every single time

# Changing shapes is the Japer's game

# The Shape Japer's back again. #

EVIL LAUGHTER

Get after her, 4.

He looks all right.

Oh, no!

EVIL LAUGHTER

Oh, no! She's started changing people.

The man's going to get into trouble

just because his two sides don't match.

-The Shape Japer's coming back.

-Now what?

An extra leg, that's what!

Now his two sides really don't match.

If the Shape Japer keeps on making sides not match,

anything could happen.

If you wore glasses and the sides didn't match,

that would look weird

and your glasses might fall off.

The two sides of the dancing cow match each other.

But she might get an extra horn.

Or her legs might be one side and none on the other.

And the butterfly has a pair of beautiful matching wings.

But if the Shape Japer made its wings not match

it wouldn't fly properly at all.

That Shape Japer has got to be stopped.

We need to make everything so both sides match.

And I've got just the Numberjack to do it.

Number 8, happy to help.

Both my sides definitely match.

Starting the Brain Gain machine.

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

# Get your brains all linking up together, joined-up thinking. #

Getting brain power now.

Let me at it.

Brain Gain - both sides match. Brain Gain!

Wow! This is strong Brain Gain. Here goes.

Both sides match!

Both sides match.

Both sides match.

Sort that poor man out.

Both sides match.

He's fine. Both sides match.

Hooray!

Both sides match. Both sides match.

Oh, yes!

8's making too much Brain Gain.

Ow, that's strong stuff.

What's happened?

The extra strong Brain Gain has made both your sides match.

I've never been the same both sides before.

It takes a bit of getting used to.

Careful with the Brain Gain, 4.

Oh, dear!

I can't stop this both sides matching Brain Gain.

His two sides match all of the time now.

So his legs have got to move exactly the same.

EVIL LAUGHTER

We're causing more trouble than the Shape Japer.

Sorry. Got a bit carried away.

We need a number that can stop both sides matching when they shouldn't.

Can I help?

-Great!

-My two sides are completely different and I love it.

OK, get ready for some new Brain Gain.

Sides don't match. Sides don't match.

Wow!

That's better.

I'll try and sort that man out.

Sides don't match.

Sometimes the sides match.

And sometimes they don't.

Got to sort the Shape Japer out now.

Let's send her both types of Brain Gain.

Sides don't match.

Agh!

Sides match. Don't match.

Match. Don't match.

Match. Don't match.

Agh!

Ugh!

Agh!

-That's got rid of her.

-Done it. Come back now, 4.

On my way.

All clear for landing.

1, 2, 3, 4.

Well done, 4.

Thanks. It was weird having matching sides.

Right. Much better not to.

We've got everything on screen.

The two sides of the card didn't match.

Or the two sides of the cake.

And the wood was not matching on both sides.

Nor was the man.

-All that Shape Japer's fault.

-We tried to fix things.

I was a bit too keen.

That was strange - everything had matching sides when they shouldn't.

And I put things right.

Sometimes matching is good.

Sometimes NOT matching is good.

Everything's sorted.

Even the Shape Japer!

Yes, yes, YOUR sides definitely don't match.

-That's the way I like it.

-..And your sides DO.

Which is fine by me.

OK, Agents, what about the other numbers?

Find another number that has sides that don't match

and a number that has sides that DO match. Then call the Numberjacks.
