Hey, Numpups, do you like my new kazoo?
I love it. Can you play the Super Numtum theme tune?
I can play anything. Listen to this.
PLAYS KAZOO
DOOR BELL
- Come and get your mail. - Larry, Larry, what is it?
- Is it the new Super Numtum comic? - Uh-uh!
- A family bucket of termite treats? - Uh-uh!
- My new science kit? - Uh-uh!
- None of the above. It's for Gladdy. - ALL: For Gladdy?!
- Did somebody say Gladdy? - Gladdy, you have a very large parcel.
- From Cousin Kakadu. - Ah!
Oh, I think it might be a...birthday present.
- It's your birthday? - You never told us.
Oh, I don't like to make a fuss.
- I wonder what it is. - Oh, it's a very big box!
Well, let's find out.
Ah! It's a photograph album...
full of old birthday photographs of me.
Oh, what fun!
Oh, that was me at a fancy dress party.
Oh, yes, that photo was taken at the best birthday ever!
I went to watch the film Pretty Wombat at a drive-in cinema.
A drive-in cinema? What's that?
You drove into the cinema in your cart,
and then sat in it while you watched a film.
- That sounds brilliant! - But that's not all, Champer.
Before the film started, waiters on roller-skates served you shakes -
we called them shakes on skates.
Mmm! Shakes on skates.
Why the long face, Little Sandy?
It's Gladdy's birthday and we need to do something special for her.
- Oh, oh, oh! What about a drive-in cinema? - Of course!
- We could find an old film to watch. - I could make the shakes.
We can serve them on roller-skates.
- This is turning into the best birthday ever! - Just one thing.
We need to keep Gladdy busy while we get ready for...
- Operation Drive-in! - Leave it to Larry.
- Gladdy? As a special birthday treat... - Yes.
- ..it's time to play my favourite game. - Oh, what is that, Larry?
- Bird in the box! - Oh, you've vanished!
Bird out of the box. Bird in the box.
Bird out of the box!
I could play this for hours.
We need an old film to play at the drive-in cinema over here.
Yes, let's get looking.
Found one.
Look, it's Crocky, the best film about crocodile wrestling ever.
- I found Pretty Wombat. - But look what I found -
Super Numtum and the Mega Hamsters!
But Gladdy loves Crocky and Pretty Wombat.
Which means she's seen them lots of times already.
But I bet she's never seen Super Numtum and the Mega Hamsters!
- Gladdy's going to love my shakes. - Oh, so will I.
- What's in them? - Er, stuff.
- BOTH: Mmm! - Now, let me see.
There are ten Numtums, so I need to make ten shakes.
There's one scoop of termite ice cream in each shake
so I need, er...
- Ten scoops of termite ice cream. - Right, ten!
Thing is, I always get confused with counting.
The Kidnas aren't good with numbers.
Why don't we sing the Tumtum tap-tap song to help us?
That is the best idea ever!
# One, two, what you going to do?
# Three, four, going to wiggle my paw
# Five, six, shake it like this.
# Seven, eight, shakey-shakey shake
# Nine, ten, tap, tap, clap. #
Ah!
# Tumtum tap tap.
# We do the Tumtum tap tap.
# Tumtum tap tap.
# We do the Tumtum tap tap. #
- Now we've got enough for ten shakes. - So we can have shakes on skates.
Goody-goody go-nuts!
When you skate, Humpty Do, you need to glide, like this.
Whoa!
Jump like this.
Whoa!
Or go backwards, like this.
Whoa!
CRASHING
- Got it? - I think so.
We have the film - tick. We have the carts - tick.
We have the shakes on skates - tick. Everything is ready.
- All we need is Gladdy. - Bird out of the box!
OVER TANOY: Bing bong!
Could Gladdy please drive to the Platypus Playhouse in her cart?
I wonder what is happening there. It sounds exciting.
As exciting as bird in the box!?
What's going on here?
We've made a drive-in cinema for your birthday.
Which is why you had to come in your cart,
- or it wouldn't be a drive-in. - What a lucky Gladdy I am.
But first it's time for shakes! Billy-style.
- Do you have shakes on skates? - You bet. - Yes.
Remember, you have five shakes and I have five - that makes ten shakes.
So one for each Numtum. Ten termite shakes coming through.
Help yourselves!
Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!
Ah! There are ten Numtums and we made ten shakes,
but there's still one shake left.
- Which Numtum hasn't got their termite shake?! - You don't!
Yay! Of course. One for me. Roller-skating is thirsty work.
PLAYS KAZOO
Gladdy, we also have a special birthday film for you.
Is it Pretty Wombat or Crocky?
- Erm, not quite. It's... - Super Numtum and the Mega Hamsters!
ALL: The mega hamsters!
- I've never heard of that film before. - We didn't think so.
Woo-hoo, yeah!
SUPER NUMTUM THEME PLAYS
# Super Numtum, Super Numtum
# Yeah, he's dynamite! #
# Super Numtum! #
Hmm. My mischief detector tells me there is naughtiness about.
What are you up to now, Fluffy McTuffy?
Today, not so Super Numtum,
I shall be taking over the world with my ten mega hamsters.
- They are so scary. - What, these cute little fur balls?
They don't look very scary.
Mega hamsters are not cute, they are scary.
And with ten of them, I shall take over the world. Ha-ha!
- Really? - Yes, really.
- Do you want to know how? - Yes, I do.
This is my mega hamster wheel of havoc.
All it needs is ten mega hamsters to make it roll
and it'll flatten everything in its path and the world will be mine.
- The end. - You can't, it's too naughty. - Oh, yes, I can.
- Frilly, release the hamster wheel of havoc. - Don't do it, Frilly.
Yay! Yay!
What's going wrong? Why isn't the world mine?!
- I think I can see the problem. - What's that?
- You only have nine mega hamsters. - What?
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine...and a note.
A note? Quickly, Lizzie, what does it say?
Please excuse Whiskers from his naughty class today,
as he has to go to the dentist. Oh, great(!)
So you see, Fluffy McTuffy, you only have nine hamsters
and you need ten to power your hamster wheel of havoc.
I can't fail again.
Lizzie, get into the wheel and make like a hamster.
The world will be mine.
HE LAUGHS
Stop, stop running! Koala in distress here!
Oh-ha, oh-ha!
You're welcome. At least the world is safe from you, Fluffy McTuffy.
For now, not so Super Numtum. But I'll be...
baaaaack!!!
ALL: Yay! Yay! Whoo!
I can't believe you did all this for little me.
I think that's another birthday for my photo album.
THEY CHEER
Yeah!
