0:00:36 > 0:00:40Right. Last story. Which story do you want?

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Day Night, Day Night!

0:00:41 > 0:00:46- I told you that story yesterday. Do you really want it again?- Yes.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Well, all right, then.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52This is the story of when the Numberjacks had a problem.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56It was the middle of a dark, dark night.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58The Numberjacks were all asleep.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00But then, the alarm went off.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02ALARM BLARES

0:01:02 > 0:01:06The Numberjacks made their way sleepily to the control room.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Come on, you two.

0:01:14 > 0:01:19- I was asleep!- We were all asleep. - Let's see who's out there.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24HE YAWNS Agent 37, here.

0:01:24 > 0:01:29The agent was in pyjamas, because it was the middle of the night.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32There's something strange going on in the street.

0:01:32 > 0:01:38A man was washing his car in the middle of the night.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Numberjack Six was launched to find out what was going on.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50Six, five, four, three, two, one,

0:01:50 > 0:01:52zero!

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Numberjack Six went streaming through the dark sky.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02It was hard to find Six a number to land on.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Is that a six? Or that?

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Come on, Four! - It's hard to see. It's dark.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Course it is. It's night-time.

0:02:12 > 0:02:17But at last, they found a number for Six to land on.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Even Numberjack Six was a little bit scared,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24out on his own in the dark, dark night.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27He saw the man still washing his car.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Very strange.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32And then there was news of more problems.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Agent 58, here.- Go ahead.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41- Instead of being in bed, children are getting up in the night.- On screen.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52They're getting dressed and everything.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55And there were more strange goings-on.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58This time, a man getting UN-dressed.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02The Numberjacks were amazed.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06He's putting on sun cream to stop getting sunburn.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10That's silly. He's only got the moon to worry about.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21- You don't need sunglasses! There's no sun!- What is going on?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Agent 99, here.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30I think daytime things are happening at night.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31The agent was right.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Things that normally happen in the day were happening at night.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39And who do you think was mixing things up like that?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- (Spooky Spoon.)- Yes.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Spooky Spoon was out and about.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48# She's mean, she's bossy She's very cruel

0:03:48 > 0:03:51# She thinks she's great She thinks she's cool

0:03:51 > 0:03:55# She's only plastic but she thinks she's fantastic

0:03:55 > 0:04:00# Who does she think she is? Spooky Spoon! #

0:04:00 > 0:04:05Yes, Spooky Spoon was flying through the night, making trouble.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10Hee-hee-hee! # Oh, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho! #

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Don't like Spooky Spoon.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16No. But the Numberjacks can beat her

0:04:16 > 0:04:19with Brain Gain to put things back to normal.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21And that is what happened next.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26# Brain Gain, Brain Gain, to solve the problem, use our brains

0:04:26 > 0:04:29# The way to get your brains all linking up together

0:04:29 > 0:04:31# Joined-up thinking. #

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Getting Brain Power now. Brain Gain!

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Brain Gain to stop daytime things happening at night-time.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Sending Brain Gain.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54Numberjack Six helped get everything back to normal.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15And when everything seemed fine,

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Six came flying back home.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23But was that the end of the problems?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26No, no.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29What happened the next day was this.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33Children were in their nightclothes in the day!

0:05:33 > 0:05:39And not just children. All sorts of strange things were going on.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Now what was the problem?

0:05:58 > 0:06:01The Agents were calling to help.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Agent 37 here. A bit tired because I was up last night.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Oh, tell me about it! - What's going wrong now?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12People are doing things at the wrong time.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17- This time, they're doing night-time things in the day.- Oh, no!

0:06:17 > 0:06:21If Spooky Spoon keeps on mixing up day and night-time things

0:06:21 > 0:06:24anything could happen...any time!

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Playing football in the dark isn't much fun.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34You wouldn't be able to see the ball. It could go anywhere!

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Or in the daytime at school. You shouldn't go to bed then!

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Especially if you're the teacher!

0:06:42 > 0:06:46And even the sun might get confused about day and night

0:06:46 > 0:06:51and the sun and moon wouldn't know when it was time to be in the sky.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Oh, it would be very confusing for everyone.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Daytime things at night. Night-time things in the day.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02What could the Numberjacks do?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Brain Gain!- Yes.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08This time, Five went out to get things back to normal.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14And with the Brain Gain,

0:07:14 > 0:07:18she stopped people doing night-time things in the day.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43It looked like everything was back to normal.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46And Five flew back home.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51- But was THAT the end of the problems?- No.- No, it was not.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Spooky Spoon was up to her tricks again.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Ooh!

0:07:55 > 0:07:59I'm going to mix things up again.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02I am! Whoo-hoo!

0:08:02 > 0:08:04And she DID mix things up.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Children were playing football

0:08:08 > 0:08:12and changing into their pyjamas at the same time.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18And a lady was eating a sandwich and cleaning her teeth at the same time.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25What was going on now?

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Spooky has mixed things up so people are doing two things at once.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Checking that.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35- You play football in the day. - And get ready for bed at night.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Not both at the same time.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42- You eat your lunch in the day. - And clean your teeth at bedtime.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Not both at the same time!

0:08:45 > 0:08:50And look at this. He's putting on his morning clothes.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53His afternoon swimming things.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57And his night-time bedclothes.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58ALL: All at once.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee! Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee!

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Oh dear, oh dear.- Dear.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Spooky had mixed things up. People were doing things

0:09:16 > 0:09:19from different times, at the same time.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24- Same.- So, the Numberjacks decided to sort things out once and for all.

0:09:24 > 0:09:29We've got to get all the things being done at the right time of day.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33And we'll all take it in turns to put things right.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Numberjack Three went out in the morning.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49Right. What things do people do in the morning?

0:09:49 > 0:09:55- Get up and get dressed.- Have breakfast.- Go to school and work.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00Right. I'll need Brain Gain to help everyone do those morning things.

0:10:04 > 0:10:10Three sorted it so that people got up and got dressed...

0:10:10 > 0:10:13they had breakfast...

0:10:14 > 0:10:18..and they went to work.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23The things you do in the morning were all sorted out.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Three had done her work and come back.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Later in the day, it was Four's turn to fly out.

0:10:37 > 0:10:43Ooh. Right, what sort of things do people do in the middle of the day?

0:10:43 > 0:10:48- Be at school.- Have their lunch. - Play in the park

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Numberjack Four sorted out the things people do in the day.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Like being at school...

0:10:56 > 0:10:59..having lunch...

0:11:01 > 0:11:05..and playing in the park.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Three and Four had sorted out the morning and daytime.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Now it was Five's turn to sort out the evening.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15OK, what do people do in the evening?

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Have their tea.- Get ready for bed.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23- And what else do they do? - Have a story.- Yes.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26And so people did the evening things.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Having tea...

0:11:28 > 0:11:30getting ready for bed...

0:11:34 > 0:11:36..and having a story.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37Like us.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42And all the evening things were sorted, and Five came home.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45And then there was one more Numberjack ready to go out.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Number Six!- Yes.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Much later, in the middle of the night.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Number Six went out again

0:11:53 > 0:11:58to check all the night-time things were back to normal.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Everything's quiet. No-one's washing their car,

0:12:02 > 0:12:05and people are in bed as they normally are.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Ha-ha! I'm not in bed!

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Well, you should be.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14Making Brain Gain to put Spooky Spoon to bed.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20But I'm... I'm not tired!

0:12:20 > 0:12:25- Oh, ah, ooh, ah!- But we're tired of you. Night-night!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Come back now, Six.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Everything was back to normal.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36When Six got back, the Numberjacks watched it all on screen.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42First, daytime things were happening at night.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Night-time things were happening in the day.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48The things you'd do at different times of day

0:12:48 > 0:12:52- were all happening at the same time. - We had to sort it out.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55I went first, in the morning.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Then I sorted out the things to do in the daytime.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02And I sorted out things in the evening.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04And finally, I went out at night again

0:13:04 > 0:13:10- to send Spooky Spoon off to bed. - Hooray!

0:13:11 > 0:13:17And that is the story of when the Numberjacks sorted out the morning,

0:13:17 > 0:13:20the daytime, the evening and the night-time.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25The time little Numberjacks are asleep. Night-night!

0:13:25 > 0:13:29I wonder, what things do YOU do in the daytime?

0:13:29 > 0:13:31And what things do you do at night?

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Are there any things you do ALL the time?

0:13:35 > 0:13:40Have a think and call the Numberjacks. But not too loud.
