0:00:32 > 0:00:35# The Numberjacks are on their way! #

0:00:35 > 0:00:37I'm ready to jump.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39OK, we need the measurer.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Ah! Don't do that, Measurer.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46Measurer, please show Numberjack Two how far he has to jump.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Not too far.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53OK, Two, that's not too far... but not too close.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Good luck, Two.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Uh-uhh!

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Yes!

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Oh, well done, Two!

0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Now, Measurer, show Four how far he has to jump.- Not too far.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Cor! That IS too far!

0:01:10 > 0:01:12She's just teasing.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20- There you go.- I could just jump as far as Two's body block.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23That's too close for you. Go for yours, Four.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Uhh! Oh, yes!

0:01:28 > 0:01:32And now, how far have I got to jump, Measurer?

0:01:35 > 0:01:36That's much too close.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39She's teasing you now, Six.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Still quite close.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Not very close.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47That's quite far.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Very far away indeed.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53I can do it!

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Huhh!

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Yes!

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- BLEEPING - Let's go!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Come on, we've got an agent calling in.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Agent 58 here.- Go ahead.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Things are going wrong. - But not for long.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27There's a girl getting really fed up.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Putting it on screen.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Oh, dear!

0:02:36 > 0:02:41She'll never be able to cuddle it if that keeps happening.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Can you send someone? - We certainly can. We'll send...

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- me!- Thank you.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Get ready for launching.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53# We've got a problem What shall we do?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58# Here's a problem needs a fix

0:02:58 > 0:03:01# Who's going out there?

0:03:01 > 0:03:02# Number Six. #

0:03:02 > 0:03:05SIREN WAILS

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Good luck, Six.- Thanks.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Ready for launch. And I'm scanning the room.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37It's all clear.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Go for it, Six.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Six, five, four, three,

0:03:47 > 0:03:50two, one, zero!

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Looking for a six.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03And looking...

0:04:03 > 0:04:06And found some sixes.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09That is a six.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Whay-hey!

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Hup!

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Oh!

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Right...let's get sorting things out.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Oh, dear! More problems.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Agent 37 here. There's a lady who can't sit down.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Oh, dear!- Is it her bottom?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31No, it's her chair!

0:04:31 > 0:04:33It keeps moving.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41I can see what's happening.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's weird.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45There's another problem.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07He's trying to creep up on it.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Getting close.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14He'll never get on his bike.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20Agent 18 here, there's trouble at the cafe.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Not another moving chair!

0:05:22 > 0:05:24No, moving plates.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm definitely putting that on screen.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Oh, dear! What is going on today?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59What's happening to the chair, the bike and the plates?

0:05:59 > 0:06:03They're all being moved too far away.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07People try to get close, but things keep moving too far away from them.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'll have a look at that bike.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Oh, a blob!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Getting some close-ups on the chair.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- And the plates.- More blobs!

0:06:17 > 0:06:19I think we know what this means.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21The Problem Blob!

0:06:24 > 0:06:28# If you spot a blob of slime

0:06:28 > 0:06:33- # Guess what big slob came by - Uh-oh!

0:06:33 > 0:06:36- # Wet, big and blobbery - Blobbery

0:06:36 > 0:06:43# Making trouble is the blobbery slobbery Problem Blob. #

0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm looking for the Blob.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48There he is!

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Blob-blob, blob-blob, blurgh-blurgh!

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Oh, no! More blobs!

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Things could be moving too far away again.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00Or maybe this time it might be different.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02What's happening now?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Now things are getting closer. - That's very close.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Too close to the people.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Oh, dear!

0:07:21 > 0:07:23What's going to happen to the plates?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh! That IS very close.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Things are either too far away...

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Or much too close.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Oh, dear! Anything could happen.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46If you were playing in the park,

0:07:46 > 0:07:49if your friends were suddenly too far away,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51you couldn't play with them.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Or if you were reading and your book got too close,

0:07:57 > 0:08:00you wouldn't be able to read it at all.

0:08:00 > 0:08:05Or if you were in Africa looking at a wild animal, like a lion,

0:08:05 > 0:08:09you wouldn't want it to be too far away to see it properly...

0:08:09 > 0:08:11or too close!

0:08:12 > 0:08:16You want things just the right distance away.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- We can do that.- Getting the Brain Gain machine going.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Get things not too close, not too far away.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29# Brain gain, brain gain To solve a problem, use our brain

0:08:29 > 0:08:31# The way to get your brains all linking

0:08:31 > 0:08:33# Lock together joined-up thinking. #

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Hitting brain power now.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Not too close, not too far away.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Sending Brain Gain now.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Not too close, not too far away!

0:08:56 > 0:08:58We did it!

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Actually, I'm not sure we've done it exactly right.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07The chair's close enough now, but look...

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Oh, dear! What's going wrong now?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14The chair's close enough to the lady,

0:09:14 > 0:09:16but it's in the wrong position.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18It should be behind her,

0:09:18 > 0:09:20but it's in front.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22What about the man and the bike?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25The man needs the bike in the right position.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28He wants to be beside the bike to get on,

0:09:28 > 0:09:30but now the bike's moved behind him.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33And look at the people eating.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38The plate should be in-between the knife and fork,

0:09:38 > 0:09:40not next to the knives.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I can feel more Brain Gain coming up.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Yes, please!

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Plates, in-between knife and fork.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Bike, next to the man.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Chair, behind the lady.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Yes!- The lady's happy.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25And so is the man.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31And they're happily eating.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well done, Six! We must have sorted things now.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38Yes, just got to sort everything out. Aha!

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I don't think we've quite got things sorted.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Where is Six?- Scanning for him.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48He must have been blobbed far away.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52He's far away... and far above the ground.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Yes, I'm high up. And I'll need help jumping down.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- We've got to know exactly where I'll land.- It could be dangerous.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I mustn't land in the water,

0:11:02 > 0:11:04or on the rose bush.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08We've got to get the Brain Gain exactly right.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12OK, if I land near the chair, it should be OK.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Make sure you tell us the position exactly, Six.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Help me to land in-between the rose bush and the water

0:11:19 > 0:11:21and in front of the chair.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Here goes.

0:11:23 > 0:11:29In-between the rose bush and the water and in front of the chair.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30Good luck, Six.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35In-between the rose bush and the water

0:11:35 > 0:11:38and in front of the chair.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39Hup!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42In-between the rose bush and the water

0:11:42 > 0:11:45and in front of the chair! Phew!

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Well done, Six!

0:11:47 > 0:11:50And now we need two last bits of Brain Gain.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Ready!

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Get the teddy beside the girl.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04And get the Problem Blob far away.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Far, far away!

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Blurgh! Bleurghhh!

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Bleurghhh! Bleurghhh!

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Come back now, Six.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24One, two,

0:12:24 > 0:12:26three, four, five,

0:12:26 > 0:12:27six!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- We did it!- Well done, Six!

0:12:33 > 0:12:36And you can see it all on a screen near you.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41The teddy was too far away from the girl.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44And the chair was too far away too.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47- And the bike.- And the plates.

0:12:47 > 0:12:52We got them closer, but they were in the wrong position.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55So we put them in the right position.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56Behind the lady...

0:12:56 > 0:12:58next to the man...

0:12:58 > 0:13:00and between the knife and fork.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Then I was in trouble.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06But I landed between the rose bush and the water

0:13:06 > 0:13:08in front of the chair.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11And the Blob was sent a long way away.

0:13:11 > 0:13:16OK, Measurer, can you stretch out a little bit

0:13:16 > 0:13:18so it's still quite close?

0:13:19 > 0:13:22And now stretch out so it's really far away.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Ohhh!

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Watch out!

0:13:27 > 0:13:30I wanted to see how far out it could go.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Well, it was very close to me!

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Sorry.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38I wonder...what things are very close to you?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41And what things can you think of that are far, far away?

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Have a think... and call the Numberjacks.
