Dah, dah, dah, he's dynamite! Yeah!
Super Numtum!
Look, the biggest most scrummy 'normous pie ever,
and it's all for me. Wah-ha-ha!
Super Numtum wants me to share it, but I don't like sharing.
So Lizzie, I want you to warn me
if he shows up by bashing these bongo drums four times.
No, Lizzie, I said FOUR times!
Now, head up that hill and warn me if you see not-so-Super Numtum.
LIZZIE PLAYS THE BONGOS
Nobody likes a show off, Lizzie.
Too much bongoing, Lizzie!
LIZZIE PLAYS FOUR TIMES
Was that the warning?
LIZZIE PLAYS FOUR TIMES
One, three, five, six. Oh.
No, that's not it.
LIZZIE PLAYS FOUR TIMES
Yeah!
Whoa! Oh, Super Numtum! Why didn't Lizzie warn me?
You didn't recognise Lizzie's warning signal
because you didn't count the bongo beats.
One, two, three, four.
Your number's up, Fluffy McTuffy, and it's sharing time.
Never! It's mine, all mine!
Ohh! Ohh!
SPLAT
Pops-a-doodles!
Yeah!
Go, Super Numtum!
He's the greatest!
Whatever did Numtums do before they had the Super Numtum show to watch?
LIVELY MUSIC PLAYS
Ah, this dance music takes me
back to the good old days of Dingo Rogers and Frog Astaire.
Oh, well, these days nobody dances as well as Frog and Dingo.
Oh! I've just had a dazzling dancing idea!
- Yeah! - Yeah! - Hurray!
- The speed of light! - Super Numtum!
WHISTLE BLARES
Numpups, freeze!
Ahem, that's better. Now everyone can hear my idea.
I'm going to hold a dance contest to find out who's the best dancer
and I'll be the judge.
Wonderful. It'd be lovely to see the Numpups
moving with some old-fashioned style and grace.
A dance contest? Oh, is there a prize?
- Only the best prize ever! - What is it? What is it?
What's the prize, Hobart?
A giant prize pie lovingly baked by Gladdy.
Oh... Oh! Hang on. By me?
- Wow! - Yeah!
I promise I'll share the giant pie if I win, just like on Super Numtum.
Oh-ho! I love winning prizes!
- Me too! - Winning prizes is the best thing ever, right?
I don't know.
I don't think I've ever won a prize for anything. Not ever.
Er, Hobart, just how giant does this giant pie have to be?
Really, really giant.
Oh! I've just had another dazzling dancing idea.
To open the contest, I'll do a stunning dance routine myself.
But which one? Hmm. The Tadpole Tango? I know! The Flamingo Swingo.
All I need are some flamingos to dance with me.
Aaah!
Out of the five dance moves you just tried, you got...none of them right.
Sorry, Champer.
Oh, but I really, really, really want to win my first ever prize.
Don't worry. We'll teach you some really cool dancing moves.
Yeah, like this.
Count my down-side up paw spins.
One, two, three, four.
- Well, I could try. - Paw spins are easy-fleazy.
Not like my caterpillar flips. One, two, three, four.
Could you show me how to do that again?
You call that desert dancing?
I'm. Doing. The. Numbot.
Oh, yeah? Well... So. Am. I.
Hey, aren't you meant to be teaching me?
- We're. Too. Busy. Dancing. - Oh, boy.
- Oh, flamingos! It's your lucky day! - Sshh, Hobart.
I'm testing my new invention - the flap-o-meter measures
how much the flamingos like something.
Look. How about some fishy delishies?
DING-DING!
These score nine.
Here's some news that'll score a perfect ten - flamingos,
I want you to dance with me.
I think your invention's broken.
We're sure to win that dance contest.
Ready for your big spin, Flinders. Here goes!
Wo-ho-ho! Oh, my!
Whoa!
Wahey! Ho-ho-ho!
Check out that awesome back spin!
CHANGES THE MUSIC
- Hey, Flinders is desert dancing. - And he's brilliant!
This Numtum was born to desert dance!
- Ho-ho, yes! - Flinders, we need to practise.
Let's enter the contest together as a desert-dancing crew.
To the club house. You can teach us some groovy moves, Flinders.
But you're meant to be teaching me groovy moves.
I've lost my dance partner. Now I can't enter the contest.
- Oh! - And I'll never win that prize on my own. Unless...
I'll be your partner!
Oh, terrific! I'll teach you the Gumnut Glide. It goes...
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah...
- Hey! Like this, you mean? - Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Champer, no, it goes like this.
Dah, dah, dah, dah. Then this way. Dah, dah, dah, dah. See?
Now you try.
Oh, no, no, not that way. You haven't quite got it yet.
- Whoa! - Careful, Champer!
This isn't going to be easy.
Oh, you lucky birdies! I'm going to teach you the Flamingo Swingo.
It goes step, step, step, kick. Step, step, step, kick.
I thank you. Your turn, off you go.
- Is it meant to look like that? - No, it is not. Try again.
Whoa! How did I do that time?
I'm sorry, Champer, we'll never win that contest.
I just can't work out how to teach you the dance.
XYLOPHONE PLAYS
Oh, I thought I turned the radio off.
- Coogee? What's that you're playing? - Numtum, Numtum.
You're right, Coogee. It is just like the Gumnut Glide.
Dah, dah, dah, dah.
- Dah, dah, dah, dah. - Champer, what are you doing?
- I think I'm counting with my feet. - One, two, three, four.
The tune has four beats.
And it's four steps this way, four steps that way.
Four steps that way, four steps that way.
Oh, Champer! You're doing the Gumnut Glide!
Thanks for the clue, Coogee!
Numtum!
It's time for the dance contest!
One, two, three, four!
Three steps then kick!
APPLAUSE We thank you, we thank you.
And now to find out who will win the prize of the giant pie.
Let the contest begin!
One, two, three, four.
Thank you, thank you. Everyone danced just divinely.
Who won the prize?
The winner is, erm...
- Oh, I can't choose! - I know! The flamingos can be the judges.
Let's use my flap-o-meter.
Oh, Little Sandy! You've saved the day.
Nimbin and Little Sandy score eight!
Now, how much did you love Humpty Do's Shuffling Shimmy Shake?
You score eight as well, Humpty Do!
And now the desert-dancing crew!
Nine. You're in the lead! And now Gladdy and Champer.
You score a perfect ten!
We won! We won! Yeah!
Pogoing pie crusts? My first ever prize!
And I get to share it with everyone.
Come on, feel that beat and eat, eat, eat!
- Ooh! - Mm-mm-mm!
Mmm! Ha-ha!
Yeah!
