0:00:02 > 0:00:03# In an ordinary sofa In an ordinary room
0:00:03 > 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
0:00:21 > 0:00:24# No problem is too big for them
0:00:25 > 0:00:26# No problem is too small
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Things may all be going wrong But you can bet it's not for long
0:00:29 > 0:00:32# The Numberjacks are on their way
0:00:32 > 0:00:35# The Numberjacks are on their way! #
0:00:35 > 0:00:40- Ohh!- Right. If you are sure you are in a sensible mood...
0:00:40 > 0:00:41THEY GIGGLE
0:00:41 > 0:00:45..then I will allow you to look after my beautiful things.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51Numberjack One. I've sorted you all with the shapes with straight edges.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Straight.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58And Zero, you look after the ones which have curvy edges,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01cos you're very curvy yourself.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02HE GIGGLES
0:01:02 > 0:01:05These are all the curvy ones.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And these are all the...
0:01:09 > 0:01:12all the straight ones.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And this one is curvy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So it goes with the...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20No, you're supposed to be looking after them.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24HE GIGGLES
0:01:24 > 0:01:29All right. If you like, we could sort them by colour instead.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Zero, you can have all the greeny ones to look after.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Greeny.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39And One gets all the bluey-purpley ones, to match your colours.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Green.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Purpley-blue!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Purpley-blue.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Green.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Green.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55See, now they are sorted differently.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58All the ones with the same colour together.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Whoo!
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Oh. I wish you'd get a bit more into things.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Into it. Yes?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08BLEEPING
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Oh, no, see you later.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Come on.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Zero and One weren't very helpful with my beautiful things.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Really? Well, we need to be helpful now.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- What's up, Agent 12? - Things are going wrong.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34But not for long!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The girl's toys are behaving strangely.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Putting it on screen.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52The toys keep on moving all by themselves.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00It's not really by themselves.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Something's moving them. We're on our way.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Thank you!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06And who's it going to be?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Today, it's...Number Four!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Whoo-hoo!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14# We've got a problem What shall we do?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19# We've got a problem to explore...#
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Who's going out there?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Number Four!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24ALARM BLARES
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Good luck, Four!- Thank you! I'll probably need it.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Checking the room is clear.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Only Jasper on the sofa.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Hello, Jasper. - Otherwise, all clear.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13'Four, three, two, one,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15'zero!'
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Scanning for a 4 to land on. Found a 4.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Aaagh!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Are you all right, Four?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Yes. Yes, I am.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Better check those toys out, first. - I'm on my way.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43What's happening with the toys?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Why do they get into different groups?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49It's very strange. We may need some help from the agents.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Agents, why are things making different groups?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Agent 108 here.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02They're in groups because there is something the same about them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04What is the same about these toys?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07They're all toy animals.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Yes, and the others are all toy trucks.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I get it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Aagh! They're in different groups now. Sorted out differently.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Now, all the big toys are together, and all the small toys are together.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25OK, we're getting somewhere.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Sounds like more problems.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Agent 63, here.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33There are problems at the picnic in the park.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Problems at the picnic in the park? I'm on my way.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Putting it on screen.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43The people keep getting moved into different groups.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Four, there are problems with the people.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Problems with people at the picnic in the park?
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Can anyone work out how these people are being sorted? How about now?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Looks like one group is all grown-ups.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00And the other group is all children.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yes, but watch out for the groups changing.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09What's the same about people in each group now?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Maybe it's their clothes?- Yes, yes!
0:06:11 > 0:06:16One group is people wearing red tops.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20And in the other group everyone is wearing blue tops.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Whoa! Back to grown-ups and children again.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30This is spoiling their picnic.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Who could be doing this mean stuff?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34HIGH-PITCHED LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I know that laugh.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You-hoo! It's me-ee!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41'Spooky Spoon!'
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Better check what we know about her. - Uh-oh!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47# 1, 2, 3 She's mean, she's bossy
0:06:47 > 0:06:48# She's very cruel
0:06:48 > 0:06:51# She thinks she's great She thinks she's cool
0:06:51 > 0:06:56# She only plastic but she thinks she's fantastic
0:06:56 > 0:06:57# Who does she think she is?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01# Spooky Spoon! #
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Well, hello, little Numberjack Four!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08You've got to stop mixing things up.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12But I'm not mixing them up.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm sorting them out.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Trouble is, I keep changing my mind
0:07:20 > 0:07:23how I want them sorted out -
0:07:23 > 0:07:24by colour...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30..or by how old they are.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32So hard to choose!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34SHE LAUGHS
0:07:34 > 0:07:36You're spoiling their picnic!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Really?!- Yes, and it's not very nice.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44It isn't. Oh, you're right, Four.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Naughty, naughty Spooky Spoon.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52I'll go away now and leave everyone in peace.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh... Good!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Toodle-ooo!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Well, I think we've sorted that out.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Are you sure, Four?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Oh, yes. Sometimes it just needs a few sensible words
0:08:07 > 0:08:09from someone like me.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- 'Don't want to worry you...' - Oh, it's no worry for me!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Argh! They've been mucked about again.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Yes. Ha-ha!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I get bored so easily.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27'How are they being sorted?'
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I think it's by how old they are.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31'Yes, it is.'
0:08:34 > 0:08:35It's not now.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38'Why have these two been put together?'
0:08:38 > 0:08:40'And those two?'
0:08:40 > 0:08:44You'll never work it out. Ha-ha-ha!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47We've got to work it out so we can sort it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Maybe it's the things they're holding.- On screen.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54What is it about these things?
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- Oh! I know! It's like my beautiful things.- What?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02The ball and the Frisbee are curvy things,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05and the kite and the book have got straight edges.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Great! We know what Spooky Spoon is up to.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12If she keeps grouping things in different ways,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14anything could happen.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Spooky might group people because of their hair.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22People with straight hair together...
0:09:22 > 0:09:26and then people with curly hair.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33On the road, she might group all the cars together
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and all the trucks together.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And then into new groups - all the blue vehicles together
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and all the silver ones.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45We've got to stop that Spooky Spoon.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I'm ready. Send me some Brain Gain.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52OK. I'll get the Brain Gain machine going.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01# Brain Gain, Brain Gain, to solve the problem use our brains
0:10:01 > 0:10:04# The way to get your brains all linking up together
0:10:04 > 0:10:05# Joined-up thinking. #
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Getting brain power now. Brain Gain!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Let's get some Brain Gain to stop Spooky grouping things.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Making Brain Gain to stop Spooky grouping things.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Wait! There's a problem with Four.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27Waiting for your silly Brain Gain, are you, Numberjack Four?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Might be.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- The Brain Gain's building up. - We can't hold it much longer.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Well, I'm afraid you can't wait here.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- But...- This place is for, mm...
0:10:42 > 0:10:48big things like benches, and you're not big. Ha-ha.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50So go away, hm?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Ahh!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53We've got to send it now!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Sending Brain Gain now.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Oh, no! Four isn't there to use the Brain Gain.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I'm back! But I need more Brain Gain.
0:11:09 > 0:11:16I've changed my mind. I only want green things here, like the grass.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I can be green!
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Huh! I only want tiny things!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25You can't get rid of me!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Big things!- I can fit in with anything you say.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Er, all right, then. Wibbly-wobbly things. Ha-ha!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37I can do it, I can make myself wibbly-wobbly.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Oh!- Send that Brain Gain quick!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Sending Brain Gain.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Stop Spooky putting things in groups.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53No more problems for the picnic people in the park!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01No more problems for the girl!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- And as for you, Spooky...- What?
0:12:07 > 0:12:12We're putting you in the group of things that are...a long way away!
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Ah-ha-ha, ooh. Ahh! Ahh! Whoa-ah-ah!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- That's better.- Come back now, Four.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33One, two, three, four!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Great work, Four!- Thanks.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I liked it when you were wibbly-wobbly.- I didn't.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43We've got it all on screen.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50The toys were being put in groups - animals and trucks.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53In the park, the people were grouped by age.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The children together, and the grown-ups.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Then it was the curvy things together,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01and all the straight-edged things.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Spooky tried to send me away because I wasn't big.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08You kept changing to whatever sort of thing she said.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- Even wibbly-wobbly!- The Brain Gain got everything back to normal
0:13:13 > 0:13:19- and sent Spooky to be with the things that are far away.- Hooray!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- We've come to help you sort your beautiful things.- Great!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Maybe you could do some sorting - sort us Numberjacks.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Can you think of different ways of sorting us?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34What things are the same about SOME of us, but not others?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Sort us out in different ways and call the Numberjacks.
