-BOTH:

-Hello. It's us!

-Topsy...

-..and Tim!

Today, we're going to...

-BOTH:

-Dad's office. Come on.

OK, hurry up, please, you two.

Finished. I'm ready to go, Dad.

Good girl, things in the dishwasher, please.

We're going to work with Dad for the first time today...

Because Mummy is away at Granny Mollie's.

Dad is the boss at Helpful Drivers minibuses. Dad?

-Will we ride around in your minibus today?

-No, Tim.

The minibuses have journeys to make and passengers to collect.

-We can't go with them.

-What are we going to do at your office, Dad?

I'm going to show you two off to everyone.

-BOTH:

-Oh, Dad!

-Dad.

And you're going to bring a toy each to play with

-while I do my work, remember?

-Oh, yes.

-Yes.

-Good.

-Are you ready, twins? Time to go.

-Coming, Dad.

Dad, I'm going to bring my rubbish truck to show your helpful drivers.

-What are you bringing, Topsy?

-I'm bringing Little Moon Bunny.

Found you!

-Brum...

-Moon.

-We're going to Dad's office today, so be good.

-Topsy!

Coming.

Wow!

When we get to Dad's office...

We see the Helpful Drivers sign and three minibuses.

Here we are, twins. Helpful Drivers.

-Right, team, I need your best behaviour this morning, yes?

-OK, Dad.

-OK, Dad.

-Thank you.

I'll get my work done as soon as I can

and then we can go home for lunch and be silly and noisy, OK?

-High-five, Tim.

-Yes.

-High-five, Dad.

OK. Good morning, Suzanne.

-Good morning, Brian. You must be Topsy and Tim.

-Yes.

-Yes, we are.

-I'm Suzanne, one of your dad's drivers.

-Hello, Suzanne.

-Hi.

-What's that?

-This helps people to get into the minibus.

-Would you like to have a try?

-Yes, please.

Stand back. Here we go.

Wait till it's all the way down.

-On you get. Hold on. Very good.

-Pop that down, good boy.

That's it. Ready?

Yep.

-Beep, beep, beep...

-Beep, beep, beep...

Looks like I've got two extra passengers today.

Do you want to come on my next journey with me, Topsy and Tim?

-Yes, please.

-Yes, can we Dad?

-I'm afraid not.

Come on, it's time to meet everyone inside the office

-and let Suzanne do her job.

-OK.

There are lots of rooms in Dad's office...

-With lots of people working in them.

-This one, this one.

Could it be?

Hello, Topsy, hello, Tim.

-This is Carol.

-Hello, Carol.

How does everyone know our names, Dad?

Because they've heard a lot about you from me.

Come on Tim, through here.

-Is this where you work, Dad?

-Yes, this is my office.

-Is this your chair, Dad?

-Which one?

-This one.

-No, this one.

-Wow!

-Cool.

Look, Dad, I'm a busy worker like you are.

Hello, someone is calling.

I just need to put you on hold.

Look, there's a picture of us, Topsy.

And look, there's a picture of Mummy too.

And us again.

-My turn on the spinny chair now.

-OK.

Hi, Topsy and Tim, I'm Kevin.

Hello, Kevin. Why is everyone wearing photographs?

That's just my photo badge.

It shows I work here at Helpful Drivers.

Kevin is my assistant and I happen to know he's got a job for you.

-Who'd like to help him?

-Me!

-Off you go.

-Come on, Kevin.

-Spin me, Dad.

Spin? OK, ready? One, two, three.

I'm going to have a quick spin in your chair.

-Here we are.

-Wow!

Kevin is photocopying the newsletter for Dad.

And he wants me to help.

If you want to pop that just in the corner for me, please. Lovely.

And then we'll pull this down. Slowly pull that down.

Careful, that's it.

-We'll do ten copies of this one.

-Ten.

-And then green.

-That one?

-Perfect.

Hopefully, we'll get ten copies.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight...

I make lots of copies for Kevin.

And then I have a drink.

-Topsy, Topsy! Come and see this.

-Coming.

Look, I'm helping Carol.

I'm collecting all her pencil shavings and putting them

in my rubbish collecting truck.

-I want to do that.

-You can help.

-There is still more photocopying to do, Topsy.

-I'll help, Kevin.

Thanks, Tim. It's this way, down the hall.

PHONE RINGS

Helpful drivers, Brian Odell speaking.

-Yep. I can check for you now.

-Pencils, please, Dad?

-Tim, I'm sharpening pencils for Dad now.

-Topsy!

Yep, OK. Read that out to me.

Yep. It's gone.

OK, thanks, Mr Spencer. We'll be in touch soon.

OK, bye-bye.

I love being in your office, Dad.

PHONE RINGS

-Do you want to answer the phone this time, Topsy?

-Yes, please.

-OK.

Just say, Helpful Drivers and your name.

Helpful Drivers, it's Topsy Odell.

It's Suzanne, the minibus driver, on the phone.

Hello, Suzanne.

She tells me that a friend of mine is on her minibus.

She's driving her back now.

We all go outside to see which friend of mine

is on Suzanne's minibus.

Look who I found on my minibus, Topsy.

-Your friend.

-Little Moon Bunny!

Little Moon Bunny, I've been so busy I've forgotten all about you.

And you've been on the minibus all morning?

-Thank you.

-That's OK.

Little Moon Bunny enjoyed her ride today.

Topsy and Tim have been a real help in the office.

In fact, I think they deserve these.

-Wow!

-Your very own photo badges.

-Wow! Thanks, Dad.

-And you.

-Thanks.

-It's you.

You made Little Moon Bunny a badge. Very good.

Mummy is going to be so proud of you

when she hears all about your hard work today.

-Please can we ring her and tell her, Dad?

-Well...

And that is when Dad said...

-BOTH:

-You can tell Mummy yourselves tomorrow.

You can tell Mummy yourselves tomorrow, Topsy and Tim,

-when we pick her up from the train station. BOTH:

-Yay!

But first, let's have some of Dad's special spaghetti for lunch

after a hard morning's work.

-BOTH:

-And that, said Dad, was that.

-BOTH:

-Hello.

-Are you good at remembering?

Can you remember what happened to us today?

This is our Topsy and Tim memory game. Let's play.

Today, we went to Dad's office.

-Can you remember which teddy I left on the minibus?

-Was it Eddie Teddy?

Or was it Little Moon Bunny?

The answer is behind the jigsaw piece.

Look, the answer is Little Moon Bunny.

Watch this.

We all go outside to see which friend of mine

is on Suzanne's minibus.

Look who I found on my minibus, Topsy.

-Your friend.

-Little Moon Bunny!

Great game.

-That was good fun.

-See you soon.

-# BOTH:

-We can play day after day

# And the fun will never end

# So let's all play together

# Be best friends forever. #
