0:00:50 > 0:00:54Yeah, when they're like this, I call them my Buddy Sticks.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57And watch them move!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That's fantastic!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And they love lining up.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27One, two. That's really good, Six.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I love my Buddy Sticks.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32One day, I might let them come on a mission with me.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- ALARM GOES OFF - Hey, an agent calling in.- Let's go!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50We have the call coming in.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Hi, agent 72 here.- Go ahead.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Things are going wrong! - But not for long!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- There's a girl trying to do some drawing.- Putting it on screen.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Oh, I hope it's a good picture.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Oh! It won't be now. - The pen keeps changing.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20She's doing her best!
0:02:20 > 0:02:24She's not going to be able to draw if the pen keeps changing.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- We'll get someone out there right away.- Thank you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Who's going, Six? - I think this is a mission for me!
0:02:32 > 0:02:36# We've got a problem What shall we do?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41# Here's a problem, needs a fix
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- # Who's going out there? - Number Six. #
0:02:45 > 0:02:47ALARM GOES OFF
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Good luck, Six!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- My Buddy Sticks are coming later. - Ready for launch!
0:03:13 > 0:03:17And I'm scanning the room...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21..and it's all clear.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Here we go, then.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Six, five, four,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32three, two, one,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34zero.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Looking for a six.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Looking...
0:03:46 > 0:03:50and yes! Found a six. There you go.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59Huh...uh! Right, I'm ready to get things sorted.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03More problems!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05There's a man at the hotel.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Watch his trousers.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Oh, dear!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- That's not good.- And look at this.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- It's the knife and fork. - They look all right.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24It's not easy to eat like that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Or like that!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Oh, no! More problems?!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's the cleaner. He has problems too.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Six! There's lots going wrong.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I know. What's happening with the cleaner?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I think I can guess.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I was right.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55And I bet...
0:04:58 > 0:04:59..yes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- Things keep changing.- Can anyone see HOW things are changing?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Things keep getting longer.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And then shorter.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Things are changing length.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18There are pairs of things with the same length.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Then one thing in each pair changed,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24and they weren't the same length any more.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Who could be doing this?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I think I know.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Ha, ha!- The Shape Japer!- Ha, ha, ha!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Data on screen.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Looks like the Shape Japer's back.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44# Shape Japer She's really very strange
0:05:44 > 0:05:49# Shape Japer She loves to make things change
0:05:49 > 0:05:53# Changing faces, changing size
0:05:53 > 0:05:57# Changing shapes every single time
0:05:57 > 0:06:01# Changing shapes is the Japer's game
0:06:01 > 0:06:04# The Shape Japer's back again. #
0:06:04 > 0:06:07We can beat the Shape Japer!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10We've got to get the things back to the right length.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13But how do we know what the right length is?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Agents! Any ideas?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- We do know what lengths the things WERE...- How?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Each pair of things started off the same length.- Oh, yes!
0:06:23 > 0:06:28So, make the thing that changed match the thing that didn't change
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and it will be back to the right length.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We can do that.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Hang on, Six. We'll be sending you Brain Gain very soon.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46# Brain Gain, Brain Gain To solve the problem, use our brain
0:06:46 > 0:06:50# The way to get your brains linking up together - joined-up thinking. #
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Getting brain power now! Brain Gain!
0:06:54 > 0:07:00Make the pairs match in length! Make the pairs match in length!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Sending Brain Gain now!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Make the pairs match in length!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12The two things are the same length.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Make the pairs match in length!
0:07:22 > 0:07:27The girl's got another pen we can match lengths with.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Did the trick!
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Hooray! We sorted the Shape Japer.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh, no, we haven't.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Things are changing length again!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Oh, no!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Can we make the tie the right length again?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04No. We don't know what the right length is.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07We haven't got anything to match it with.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The cleaner's having more trouble.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Ha, ha, ha, ha!
0:08:13 > 0:08:19Oh, no! How can we make the mop the right length again?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We haven't got another mop to match it with.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Oh, dear. If the Shape Japer keeps changing the length of things,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28anything could happen.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32A slide might get very short
0:08:32 > 0:08:37or it might get very long and a bit too whizzy...
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Or trees might get very short...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46..or get very tall...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Or roads might get very long...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55..or very short!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02We've got to stop the Shape Japer changing the length of things.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Yes. She's up to her tricks with lots of people's ties.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31She's changing the length of lots of people's mops.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Ooh!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Oh, no! Everybody's ties and mops have changed length.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49We could change them back to normal if we knew how long they were before.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53But they've ALL been changed. We've got nothing to match them with.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Wait a minute, wait a minute!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I've found one man the Shape Japer has missed,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02and he's got a tie AND a mop!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I'm on my way.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Yes! We can find out how long things are supposed to be
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and change them back.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14We can borrow the man's tie and mop.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17And we can use them to measure everybody else's.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Oh, no! Ooh! Ooh! We've got a problem! Whoa!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25The man won't lend us the tie and his mop.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- Why not?- He's worried the Shape Japer will see them and change them too.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We can't use them to measure the things that have changed.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Is there any way we can do it
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- without taking them away? - Use the Buddy Sticks.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41They're good at measuring things.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Wow! Yes! Buddy Sticks! Buddy Sticks!
0:10:46 > 0:10:50OK, Buddy Sticks, your mission is -
0:10:50 > 0:10:52measure this man's tie
0:10:52 > 0:10:54from one end to the other.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55One,
0:10:55 > 0:10:56two.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- The tie is two Buddy Sticks long. - Now the mop, Six.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Measure the mop!
0:11:01 > 0:11:02One,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04two,
0:11:04 > 0:11:05three,
0:11:05 > 0:11:06four,
0:11:06 > 0:11:07five,
0:11:07 > 0:11:08six!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The mop is six Buddy Sticks long.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14OK. We know how long things are supposed to be.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Let's get some Brain Gain out there!
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Ties are two sticks long! Ties are two sticks long!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Two sticks long!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Two sticks long!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Two sticks long!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Don't forget the mop, Six. - We're on the case.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51Mops are six sticks long! Six sticks! That's hard to say.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Six sticks long!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Six sticks long!
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Ooh!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Six sticks long!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Your measuring sticks are brilliant, Six!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yes, watch them measure the Shape Japer.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23One, five!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Ha, ha, ha, ha...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- ooh!- One, five!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- One, five!- Ooooh! Ooooh!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Come back now, Six.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42ALL: One, two, three,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44four, five, six!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Well done, Six. - And the measuring sticks.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I've left them to finish off the measuring job.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Let's see what the problem was.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01The girl's pen changed length.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- So did the trousers and the knife. - And the brush.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09But we matched them up and got them back to the right length.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13But the ties didn't have anything to match up with,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- because all the ties had changed. - And so had all the mops.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Except, there was just one of each,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27which the sticks could measure and go and sort things out.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31ALL: Hooray!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Lucky we had your sticks to help us measure, Six.- Yeah.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Have YOU got some things that are long and thin
0:13:40 > 0:13:42you could use as measuring sticks?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47If you have, do some measuring - any problems, call the Numberjacks.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02# The Numberjacks are on their way The Numberjacks are on their way. #
