0:01:15 > 0:01:16The bells.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18The bells!

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Who ordered the bells?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22That would be me.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25Dong!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28I feel a show coming on!

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, goody, goody gumnuts!

0:01:30 > 0:01:35It's time for some bell-ringing, Hobart-style.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36Any song requests?

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Oh, oh! The Super Numtum theme song.

0:01:40 > 0:01:46OK. Especially for Humpty Do, for the first time ever,

0:01:46 > 0:01:51the Super Numtum theme tune played on hand bells!

0:01:51 > 0:01:55# Su-per Num-tum, Su-per Num-tum BELLS CLANG RANDOMLY

0:01:55 > 0:01:57# At the speed of light! #

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Stop! Oh, I beg you to stop!

0:02:01 > 0:02:04The last time I heard anything that bad was, uh...

0:02:04 > 0:02:07No, I have never heard anything that bad.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I don't know what's wrong. I'm playing the right notes.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- But not in the right order. - Ah, I see.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Why don't you put the bells in size order,

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- starting with the biggest? - Great idea!

0:02:18 > 0:02:21So the biggest bell needs to go here.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Ah-ha-ha! Perfect!

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Thanks, Larry!- Happy to help.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Well, see you later. I'm a busy, busy bird!

0:02:33 > 0:02:34What are you doing?

0:02:34 > 0:02:39Hobart is going to play the Super Numtum song especially for me!

0:02:39 > 0:02:42You see, the bells are in size order, with the biggest,

0:02:42 > 0:02:44lowest-sounding one here,

0:02:44 > 0:02:48and the smallest, highest-sounding one here.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Very clever.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53And now, for the second time, the Super Numtum theme song

0:02:53 > 0:02:56played on hand bells, by me.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59# Su-per Num... BELLS CLANG

0:02:59 > 0:03:01# Tum

0:03:01 > 0:03:05# Su-per Num-tum

0:03:05 > 0:03:10HE SINGS TUNELESSLY # At the speed of light! #

0:03:10 > 0:03:11What?

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Erm, I'm not sure it's quite right yet.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17It's a bit...slow.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18What do you mean?

0:03:18 > 0:03:20- You need to move faster. - Oh, do you think so?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Oh, yes. That would definitely sort it out.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26And I know just the Numpup to help you.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27- You do?- I do.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's you, isn't it?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- At your service.- Oh, boy!

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Wa-ah!

0:03:37 > 0:03:39- See? It's really easy to go faster...- Wah!

0:03:39 > 0:03:42..when you're wearing roller skates.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Yodelo-ho-ho-ho!

0:03:44 > 0:03:49And now, for the third time - ooh, ah! - on hand bells...

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Super Num... Whoa!

0:03:52 > 0:03:55I don't think roller skates are the way to go.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Don't worry. I think I can help you.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Oh, boy.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03This yoga pose is called the Pouncing Poodle.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07It'll help you to play the bells using your whole body.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10It does this by connecting each part of your body to a bell.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13You just have to think of that part of your body to ring the bell.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Think hard, and when you truly feel that you are a Pouncing Poodle,

0:04:18 > 0:04:19please begin.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23OK. I'm now the Pouncing Poodle.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28The Super Numtum theme song, on hand bells, for the fourth time.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32BELLS CLANG RANDOMLY # Super Numtum Super Numtum

0:04:32 > 0:04:35# At the speed of light! #

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Oh, ow! Ooh, ow-ow-ow!- Good.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Good.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44- I think I was more like a Clanging Collie than a Pouncing Poodle.- Hm.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47By my calculations, it's science time.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Is everything all right back there?

0:04:50 > 0:04:51Everything's just great!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I bring you the Ding Dong Bell-O-Matic.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58For all your bell-ringing needs.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Ooh! Go on.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03You sit in comfort here, and pull the lever here,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06and that rings the bell here.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Here we go.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12The Super Numtum theme song, on hand bells, for the fifth time.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16BELLS CLANG RANDOMLY # Super Numtum, Super Numtum

0:05:16 > 0:05:18# At the speed of light!

0:05:18 > 0:05:20# Super Numtum, Super Numtum

0:05:20 > 0:05:22# Is dynamite! #

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Aagh, aagh!- Hobart! Oh, no!

0:05:26 > 0:05:30I don't think there's any way for me to play the hand bells.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'll ask Larry to send them back now.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Did someone say the Larry word?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39I need to return my hand bells, please. It's no good.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Either I get them in the wrong order or I'm not fast enough,

0:05:42 > 0:05:44or it all just goes wrong.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's nearly time for Super Numtum.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Why don't you come and watch with us?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50It always cheers me up.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK, I'll give it a go.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56# He's dynamite

0:05:58 > 0:06:00# Super Numtum! #

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Now for my new plan to take over the world.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I pretend to be in trouble - tick!

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Not-so-Super Numtum arrives - tick!

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Then my naughty friends take over - tick!

0:06:12 > 0:06:14And here they are!

0:06:14 > 0:06:17This one will distract not-so-Super Numtum.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19This one will tickle him, so he cannot do anything.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21This one will pick him up.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23This one will carry him to the cell.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26And this one will lock him up.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29And when not-so-Super Numtum is out of the way,

0:06:29 > 0:06:31I will take over the world!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33The end!

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Mwah-ha-ha!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Oh, help! Help!

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Koala in distress!

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Someone needs my help?

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Oh, it's you, Fluffy McTuffy.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Straight into my trap. Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

0:06:47 > 0:06:49And mwah-ha-ha-ha some more!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52First, I distract him with number one,

0:06:52 > 0:06:54the butterfly.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Hang on. That's not right.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Then I tickle him with number two, the tickler.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Gah! Why doesn't this thing work?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Oh, I'll do it all myself!

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Look. Tickle-tickle?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Oops!

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Here, let me help.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Oh, no!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26First, number one.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Oh, look! A butterfly.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Second, number two.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Hee-hee-hee!

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Third, number three.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Oof!

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Fourth, number four.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Hey!

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Fifth, number five.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51My own koala-bots being used against me! Bah!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55You really should learn your numbers, Fluffy McTuffy!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Popsadoodles.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00ALL: Yay!

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Fluffy McTuffy had the same problem as you, Hobart.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04That's right!

0:08:04 > 0:08:07When she tried to do everything herself, she couldn't.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10But Super Numtum got each of the five koala-bots

0:08:10 > 0:08:12to do one thing each.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15And when he told them each what to do, in the right order...

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Success!

0:08:17 > 0:08:20But where am I going to get koala-bots?

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Wait a minute!

0:08:22 > 0:08:26I've got something even better than koala-bots!

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Larry!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30# Yo, heave ho. #

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Oh, Larry!

0:08:31 > 0:08:35Let me guess. You want the bells back after all.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36Oh, thanks, Larry.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- You're a star.- Oh, I am?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41I really am!

0:08:43 > 0:08:47OK. We've got eight Numtums and eight bells.

0:08:47 > 0:08:53When I call out your number and point, play your bell. Let's try.

0:08:53 > 0:08:59One, two, three, four, five, THEY RING THEIR BELLS

0:08:59 > 0:09:04six, seven, eight. THEY RING THEIR BELLS

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Numtum!

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Perfect! Right, let's try a wee bit faster.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14One, two, three, four, five, six, THEY RING THEIR BELLS

0:09:14 > 0:09:16seven, eight. Ha-ha!

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Now together we can play all the notes I need.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23And if you can tell them to play the notes in that order,

0:09:23 > 0:09:26you can tell them to play the notes in any order you like.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- That's right!- We can play the whole song by ringing just one bell each!

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Exactly.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35And this time, I won't call out the numbers,

0:09:35 > 0:09:38I'll just point with this special stick

0:09:38 > 0:09:41to tell each Numtum when they need to ring their bell,

0:09:41 > 0:09:42like this.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Numtum-num!

0:09:43 > 0:09:45That's very clever.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's called conducting.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Just another one of my many talents.

0:09:49 > 0:09:55And now the Super Numtum theme song on hand bells again!

0:09:56 > 0:10:02THEY PLAY THE SUPER NUMTUM THEME SONG

0:10:02 > 0:10:04# Super Numtum

0:10:04 > 0:10:06# Super Numtum

0:10:06 > 0:10:09# At the speed of light!

0:10:09 > 0:10:11# Super Numtum

0:10:11 > 0:10:13# Super Numtum

0:10:13 > 0:10:15# He's dynamite!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20# Super Numtum! #

0:10:20 > 0:10:23ALL: Yay!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Now, THAT's how you play the hand bells.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29ALL: Yeah! Hurray!
