0:00:02 > 0:00:03# In an ordinary sofa in an ordinary room
0:00:03 > 0:00:07# There are extraordinary heroes who are standing by to zoom...
0:00:07 > 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! #
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Right. Are you sure we've got enough boxes out?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42I think so.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44So will you finally tell me?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Why do you want so many boxes?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Well. You know I love my beautiful things.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53You've mentioned it once or twice.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58- And I love having them in my beautiful things box.- Yes?
0:00:58 > 0:01:04But I think it would be even lovelier to have them in lots of boxes.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Pff.- Let's do it!
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Woo!- Whoa!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Yeah!- Argh!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Ah.- Ooh.- Hey!- Argh!
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Ooh!- Hey!- Yeah!- Whoa!- Ah.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Be careful!- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:01:20 > 0:01:25My dream is to have one box for each beautiful thing
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and one thing in each box.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32My dream is a quiet lie down.
0:01:32 > 0:01:39In a moment, I'm going to see one beautiful thing, in each box!
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Huh! Oh...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Oh.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I'm not getting a good feeling.
0:01:48 > 0:01:55A beautiful thing looks a bit lonely just one in a box.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01- Oh?- And somehow not quite so lovely.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Oh, dear.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08In fact, let's go back to one box with lots of beautiful things in it.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Oh, dear me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And all these other boxes can be put away again.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16But we've just got them out!
0:02:16 > 0:02:22Sometimes, Four, you try something out, but it turns out it's wrong.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25You just have to think again.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27But all these boxes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28ALARM BLEEPS
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Quick! The alarm! Let's go!- Argh!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50We've got an agent reporting a problem.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Agent 58 here. Something's going wrong.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57But not for long!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00A boy's having trouble with his helmet.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Hold on, I'm putting it on screen.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Looks all right so far. - But not now.- No helmet.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- But now look!- Two helmets!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16He's only got one head!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Two helmets are nearly as bad as no helmets at all!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23This is a problem we need to sort out.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Thank you.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I think the Numberjack for the job is...Number Five.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29# Hey, Hey
0:03:29 > 0:03:32# We've got a problem what should we do?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33# Who's going out there?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34# Who do we choose?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36# Need to get out there
0:03:36 > 0:03:37# Who will it be?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39# Who's going out there?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40# Number Five. #
0:03:40 > 0:03:43ALARM WAILS
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Are you ready, Five?- Yes, I'm fine.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Checking it's all clear for launching.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Only Jasper.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Let's go!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25ALL: Five, four, three, two, one.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27ALL: Zero!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Finding a five to land on.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Got some fives.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Got a good five.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Ooh! Oh.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48K, Five?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Five's arrived.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Let me get going to sort that problem out.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58There are problems. Keep an eye on the plates.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Looks OK so far.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04That's weird.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Very strange.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And getting stranger.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Watch the chairs!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22What's going on?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24There aren't enough chairs.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Now there's too many!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Too few chairs again!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35We've got a call.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Agent 63 here. There's a girl having trouble.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Looks OK so far.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45But watch!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06That was quite funny.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Four! We're trying to solve problems here.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Sorry.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Agents, can you see a pattern?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Any idea what the problem is?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22The trouble is sometimes people don't have enough things.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And sometimes they've got too many.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28We need everyone to have one thing each.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32One chair each, one lipstick each, one each!
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Well, that sounds fair.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36But something's making things not fair.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38What can it be?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39SPOOKY SPOON SINGS
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, I think I know.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Ha-ha! Yes, it's me!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47We know all about Spooky Spoon.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48# Uh-oh
0:06:48 > 0:06:50# One, two, three
0:06:50 > 0:06:51# She's mean, she's bossy
0:06:51 > 0:06:52# She's very cruel
0:06:52 > 0:06:54# She thinks she's great
0:06:54 > 0:06:55# She thinks she's cool
0:06:55 > 0:06:57# She's only plastic
0:06:57 > 0:07:00# But she thinks she's fantastic
0:07:00 > 0:07:02# Who does she think she is?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05# Spooky Spoon. #
0:07:05 > 0:07:08OK, Five. You've got to stop her!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Look, Spooky.- I'm looking. Don't like what I see though.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Everything's getting mixed up thanks to you.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Oh, no need to thank me.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23The rule is - everyone should have one thing each.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Oh! Do you think so?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Yes. We're sending Brain Gain to make it happen.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Getting the Brain Gain going.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38# Brain Gain, Brain Gain
0:07:38 > 0:07:40# To sort the problem use our brains
0:07:40 > 0:07:43# The way to get your brains all linking
0:07:43 > 0:07:45# Up together, joined up thinking
0:07:45 > 0:07:47# Getting brain power now
0:07:47 > 0:07:49# Brain Gain! #
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Sending one thing each, Brain Gain.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00One each of everything!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06One chair each!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11One plate each.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Hooray!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18See, Spooky? One each is best.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Oh, yes. I couldn't agree more.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I don't like the sound of that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Just one each of everything.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31SPOOKY CACKLES
0:08:31 > 0:08:33What does she mean?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Oh, no. They don't look happy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40They've got one chair and one plate each.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Yes, but look what's on each plate.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Just one bit of cheese, one pea,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50one bit of carrot and one bit of spaghetti.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Oh, dear.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55You did say one each of everything.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Yes, we did!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Oh...
0:08:58 > 0:09:04One...table each! Ha-ha!
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- And one waitress each.- 'Oh, dear.'
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Oh, I like this idea of one thing each. Ha-ha!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Oh, no.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19If Spooky makes everything have one thing each,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21anything could happen!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25The whole world might have only one tree...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29and the tree might have only one branch...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33..with only one twig...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37..with only one leaf...
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- ..and only one insect with only one leg!- Oh.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46And there might be only one bird
0:09:46 > 0:09:49with only one wing so it couldn't fly.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53We've got to stop that Spooky Spoon!
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Yes. She's causing trouble making one each of things.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00And we thought one each was good!
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Sometimes we have to think again, look!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08That brush has got far too many bristles.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Ha-ha, ha! Just one bristle!
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Ooh. This class has got too many children.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Ha! Just one child.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Huh! And that chair has got far too many legs.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31CACKLES
0:10:31 > 0:10:33We've got to sort things out.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35One each doesn't work.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It works sometimes, but not always.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44We need a mixture of Brain Gain.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48How about sometimes the rule is one thing each
0:10:48 > 0:10:51and sometimes the rule is lots of things each?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I can send that Brain Gain.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57One thing each or lots of things each.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Whichever is best.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Got to use this carefully.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10He needs just one helmet, but the bike needs two wheels.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19The girl needs one brush, but the brush needs lots of bristles.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30That man needs one chair, but the chair needs four legs.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39And you need one plate, but with lots of bits of food.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45And the class needs one teacher, but lots of children.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53And what about me?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I think that very tall tree
0:11:56 > 0:11:59needs one Spooky Spoon.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05SPOOKY YELPS
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Everything sorted.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Come back now, Five.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17All clear for landing.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23ALL: One, two, three, four, five!
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Well done, Five.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- You sorted everything out! - We didn't get it right first though.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35We got it right in the end!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37And it's all on screen.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The boy didn't have just one helmet.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The girl didn't have one lipstick.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48In the cafe they didn't have one chair and plate each.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51We thought we'd sorted it with one thing each.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55But that meant they only had one bit of each food.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And a brush with one bristle is no good.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Nor is a class with just one child.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Sometimes you need one thing and sometimes lots of things.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It's not always the first rule you think of.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Well! The last of those extra boxes are put away.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23I am one Numberjack who is very happy to have one friend who helped me.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Yeah, yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I also like having one box.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33But that box is best with lots of things in it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Oh, beautiful, lovely things.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43So, have you got anything that it's good to have just one of?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And things it's good to have lots of?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Have a think and call the Numberjacks.
