0:01:03 > 0:01:07Oh, oh! This is the longest staring competition ever.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22I've been working on my stare. I can go for ages without blinking.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- You blinked. I win.- It's Larry. Look!- Now, don't get over-excited.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It's just the Super Numtum comic.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- The Super Numtum comic?! - ALL: Charge!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Nee-naw, nee-naw, nee-naw...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Today I'm going to perfect he double-paw take down.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Hope you're ready, Neville.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51What are you doing, Little Sandy?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- I'm looking for a lesser-spotted ladybird.- Ooh.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56It sounds ever so rare.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And I'll have to be very quiet to find it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04In that case, I'll practise my wrestling very quietly too.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- SQUEAKING - Oof! Ooh!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- I thought you said quietly.- Sorry.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Nee-naw, nee-naw!- Whatever is the matter, Larry?- The Numpups.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I'm trying to give them their Super Numtum comic,
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- but whenever I get close enough, they just run at me.- Oh, dear.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I expect they're a little over-excited.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Maybe, but I don't want my feathers frizzled.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34I need to find a way of getting it to them without getting trampled.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- CHAMPER:- This way!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- He's over there!- And quickly.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47Little Sandy, how many spots does a lesser-spotted ladybird have?
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Just one black spot, right in... - The middle of its red back?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Come quickly.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- At last! I need to take a photograph quickly.- Larry, come back!
0:02:58 > 0:03:00We just want the comic.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- WHISTLE - Numpups, freeze!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04We all need to be quiet
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- so Little Sandy can photograph the very rare lesser...- Never mind.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- It's flown away to find somewhere quieter.- Sorry.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- We just wanted the Super Numtum comic.- But Larry keeps running away.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Well, I'd run away
0:03:17 > 0:03:21if I was being chased by a great gaggle of galumphing Numpups.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I know. We can help you find
0:03:23 > 0:03:26the lesser-spotted ladybird, Little Sandy.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- That's a great idea.- It will be an exciting Numpup adventure!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33The quest for the lesser-spotted ladybird.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- And the Super Numtum comic. - I'm up for an adventure.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- And I'm up for a quest. - Oh, is there a plan?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You bet your whiskers there's a plan.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46The ladybird we're looking for has only one spot.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50It has less spots than all the other kinds of spotted ladybirds.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54The lesser-spotted ladybird likes flowers and fruits,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56dislikes noisy Numpups.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- I know. We should look in the flowery meadow.- Yes! Oh.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02(But we'll need to be very quiet.)
0:04:02 > 0:04:04(Like this.)
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Excellent sneaking, Numpups.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15It's time to start. The quest for the lesser-spotted ladybird.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19And don't forget, the Super Numtum comic.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Last one to the flowery meadow is a wobbly walrus.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Quietly, remember!- Oh, sorry.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29That's it! I just need to sneak up on the Numpups
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and deliver their comic before they see me.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Ow! Maybe sneaking silently isn't my thing.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Oh, I guess I'll just have a rest
0:04:39 > 0:04:43and take a look at this comic to see what all the fuss is about.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45'It's a super day for Super Numtum.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48'He's been invited to meet the Queen.'
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Hmm. That butler looks familiar.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Ah, Mr Numtum. So glad you could come.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I know that voice! Er, my pleasure, Ma'am.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09I have a few things I'd like you to do for me. I mean, everyone.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13"One - stop all the clocks in the land.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15"Two - throw away all the bath plugs.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18"Three - bring me the Big Book Of Naughty Tricks.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22"Four - stay in your room for the next 100 years."
0:05:22 > 0:05:23That's right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Then they're be no more bedtime, no more bath time
0:05:26 > 0:05:29and no more not-so-Super Numtum.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Just me ruling the world
0:05:30 > 0:05:33with the Big Book Of Naughty Tricks. Mua-ha-ha!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36So, you'd like me to one - stop all the clocks.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Two - throw away the bath plugs.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Three - bring you the Big Book Of Naughty Tricks.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And four - stay in my room?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Yes. I command you to do all three right now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Did you say "all three"?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55That's right. And I'm the Queen, so you have to.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm not so sure about that.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00You see, there weren't three things on that list.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- There were four. One more than you said.- Three, four...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07What's the difference?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11The difference is that the real Queen can count perfectly,
0:06:11 > 0:06:16which means that you are not the Queen at all.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Stop! Put me down! I am the Queen. I am the Queen.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Oh, pops-a-doodles.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28You can count on me to be more than a match for your naughty tricks.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31By the power of the number!
0:06:32 > 0:06:33That's it!
0:06:33 > 0:06:38I can use a disguise to get close to the Numpups without them seeing me.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46BOTH: Ha! You're last. You're the wobbly walrus.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- There's only one way to settle this. - You're on.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Let's see who can stare the longest.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01- Little ladybird, come to Champer. - We know you're in there.- Ssh!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Oh, oh, Little Sandy! I've found one.- Yee-ha!
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Oh. This ladybird has one, two, three, four spots.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17That's three more spots than the one we were looking for.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21But full marks, Humpty Do, for your ladybird-finding skills.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Hey, Little Sandy. Over here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Not quite, Champer. This ladybird has one, two, three spots.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Oh, that's two more than the lesser-spotted ladybird.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43But well done for trying.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Phew!- Larry? Is that you in a cactus costume?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52And is that the Super Numtum comic?!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Nee-naw, nee-naw, nee-naw... - Follow that cactus!
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- Larry! Larry, stop. - We only want the comic.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05That was close.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Now they're off looking for Larry the cactus, I can get close to them as...
0:08:12 > 0:08:13..Larry the rock.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Oh, what a beautiful day for painting. That rock will do nicely.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Now, to spend a long, long afternoon painting my fruit.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Hello, Numpups.- Hello, Nimbin. Whatcha doin'?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'm painting a lovely bowl of fruit.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I tried painting the meadow, but this cactus kept moving around.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- That was Larry. - Do you know where he is?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45He's got the Super Numtum comic.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47We're on the quest for the Super Numtum comic.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50And the lesser-spotted ladybird.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- The lesser-spotted ladybird sounds ever so rare.- They are.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58But they like fruit and flowers, so there's bound to be one around here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I found one!
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Oh, so close, Bendy Go. But this ladybird has two spots.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13That's one more spot than the one we're looking for.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16But don't worry, Bendy Go. We're getting closer.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20My still life won't keep still. Look, that cherry is moving about.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27That's no cherry! It's a lesser-spotted ladybird!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Nee-naw, nee-naw... ALL:- Larry!- Whoa!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Larry, are you all right? - I chafed my beak a little.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Why were you pretending to be a rock?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I thought a disguise might let me get close enough
0:09:43 > 0:09:46to deliver your Super Numtum comic.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Oh. Thank you, Larry.- Is that it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:55- No shouting?- No.- No jumping? - No, sirree.- No ruffling my feathers?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Absolutely not.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00From now on, we'll be very quiet and ask for it nicely.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- No more disguises for me. - Galloping guinea pigs, that's it!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I need a disguise to get close to the lesser-spotted ladybird
0:10:08 > 0:10:10without it seeing me.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I did it! I did it!
0:10:21 > 0:10:27- I saw the lesser-spotted ladybird and got a photograph. Look.- ALL: Aw!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30The quest for the lesser-spotted ladybird...
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- And the Super Numtum comic... - ALL: Is at an end. Yay!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Yeah!
