this week at spotty's wooden company
bertha is making jigsaw puzzles
ted puts the picture in one end
and bertha cuts out the shapes that's
roy checking the puzzles
their nail packs
and flow stacks
it seems a shame to break up such a
lovely picture
but the fun of jigsaw puzzles is to put
them back together again
isn't it what do you do with it when
you've put it back together
you break it out and begin all over
again
that seems daft to me hey
there's a hole in this one that means
that there's a piece missing
you're right hey ted
stop there
see there is a piece missing right in
the middle there
sorry now we'll never find the missing
piece and
why not because we don't know what it
looks like
it was a piece missing from the tree i
remember
ah but what piece it was a very large
tree
a piece with leaves and branches on it
look here if there's a piece of the
puzzle missing it must still be in
bertha
now come on bertha where's the missy
piece of puzzle
i can't see it ted why don't you put
another picture through
it might dislodge the missing piece and
bring it out what a good idea roy
that the piece we're looking for comes
from about there
so watch out for it
a cow or birther
[Music]
there's a piece missing from this one
too what a piece of the sky
where just there
sorry hmm first a piece of the tree is
missing and now piece of the sky
oh wonder what bertha is up to very
mysterious
very puzzling that's it float you've got
the answer
oh i am glad now how many cheeks all
puzzles as bertha made this morning
float
ten to a big box that's forty
four in this box that's 44
and two here that's uh 46
46 roy where their pieces missing from
other puzzles
i'm not sure i didn't look at all of
them
it's your job too i'd like to bet
there's a piece missing from most of
those puzzles
now come on brother how many pieces have
you got in there
that's amazing all odd bits making a
different picture
i didn't know bertha like doing jigsaw
puzzles you know what we have to do now
don't you
what we have to open all those boxes and
make up all those jigsaw puzzles to find
out which pieces are missing
oh no it'll take us ages we can't let
him be sold in the shops with a piece
machine
come along let's get started it's better
than packing
it's better than stacking
[Music]
bertha how could you
upstairs in the offices miss mcclackety
and mr will make
are getting ready for the decorators
they're covering all the furniture with
a sheet
so it won't get splashed with paint
well done that's everything covered
where those decorators got to
they should be here by now
that's the telephone ringing sir yes i
can hear it mr clackety
where is your telephone still on your
desk no
it's on the floor somewhere
but where on the floor miss mclacatey i
can't remember sir
we must find the telephone and answer it
the call may be important oh dear i'm
sorry
it's under the cheat somewhere right
don't
panic miss mclacatey this is what we'll
do i'll go under this end of the sheet
you go under that end whoever finds the
telephone first answered it
off you go
i've got it mr clickety hello
yes yes this is the manager oh i see
well that's too bad well thank you for
letting me know
goodbye where are you miss mclacatey
over here sir oh who was it sir
the decorators what did they want mr
wilmick
they're going to say they're not coming
today
oh dear would anyone here like a nice
cup of tea
yes please mrs tap but downstairs
everyone is too busy to stop for tea i
think
most of this puzzle must be missing no
i'm sure there's only one piece with you
for each picture
you're just not very good at doing
jigsaw puzzles flow
look i've nearly finished mine have you
found the missing piece nell
how could i if it's not there mr duncan
the foreman
thinks they're just playing well will
what's all this
playtime hello mr duncan we're looking
for missing pieces of jigsaw puzzles
we have to check all those boxes and
those there
and those there as well it's going to
take us ages
why are there pieces missing from the
puzzles hmm
well bertha's been keeping one piece
back from each box
if i get a picture of her own hmm see
bertha has been misbehaving again has
she been
misbehaving haven't you i think she just
likes doing jigsaw puzzles that's all
this is no good it'll take you all week
if bether is so fond of puzzles
why don't you let her do them that's a
jolly good idea mr duncan
now why didn't i think of that that's
what fordmen
are for
another office mr sprott and his
assistant tracy
have been asked by the manager to design
a machine that can paint the factory in
double quick time
well it worked mr sprott hmm undoubtedly
i will take it down to the roller and
grinder machine and have it made
do you mind if i have a go at designing
a different machine mr sprott
no no no of course not but this is the
one that'll work
what can we have that will do the job
nicely easy to control
and we'll do what we say precisely
[Music]
talk operative machine is what we need
here there's something i can think of
that will run for a year
a talk
[Music]
robot that can feel like a friend a talk
operated machine i'll call it tone
teeth
[Music]

program through

do all sorts of useful jobs around the
factory

stack
yes it could even help you sweep up roy
good i could do with some help
very well let's see what bertha makes of
this
mr sprott's machine seems to be working
