Numberjacks is a British children's television series that originally aired on BBC2 in the United Kingdom between October 2006 and 2009; re-runs of the episodes are still shown regularly on CBeebies (when it was on BBC2, it was only on occasionally, and when it first appeared, it was only on for a week). It was produced by Open Mind Productions for the BBC and featured a mixture of computer-generated animation and live-action.The Numberjacks are animated characters (the numbers 0 to 9) who live in an ordinary sofa and solve problems outside; each episode has the same structure. At the beginning of an episode, some of the Numberjacks are engaged in an activity, that would have relevance to the problem that was later discovered - then, an "agent" (who was a live-action child) calls in and describes the problem that is occurring. One (or two) of the Numberjacks go out into the real world to solve the problem while the remaining Numberjacks stayin the sofa and watch their progress on a screen. As soon as the problem is understood, Five imagines what else could go wrong if it isn't solved (often wondering what would happen to the Dancing Cow, who never actually made any physical appearance in the real world).Once outside, the Numberjacks are shown in a live-action setting (although themselves still animated); they diagnose their problems by examination and with additional ideas from the agents, who called into the base. The problem could be caused either by one of the Meanies, a group of five villains who enjoy causing issues for people, or by one of the younger Numberjacks (Zero, One or Two) escaping from the sofa and inadvertently making things go wrong. The Numberjacks solve their problems by using "Brain Gain," a magical force of power activated by a machine in the sofa and transferred to the Numberjack.Once the problem is solved, the Numberjacks return to their base, replay the preceding events on a screen and then challenge the viewer to think about a related problem and "call the Numberjacks"; the problems encountered were all based upon simple mathematical concepts, and the programme is intended to stimulate young children's interest in mathematics. On satellite, digital, and cable TV, a link to Numberjacks often appeared in the corner of the screen and sometimes on (for example) gardening programmes as a way of helping people with basic numeracy.While this is a show for preschoolers, older people have been known to watch the show on occasion because of its ridiculously adorable protagonists and their evolving personalities. | |

Ding-Dong-Ditch Distraction: When someone is sitting on the sofa at launching time, one of the Numberjacks will ring the doorbell to make the person go away. That is, unless it's Jasper, who they're fine with being seen by. | |

Sick Episode: "The Dreaded Lurgi" has Four and Six get a disease called "lurgi" which makes them lethargic, unwell, and unable to do their jobs. Later, Three catches the lurgi, but Four and Six recover. They believe that Zero has also caught the lurgi, but he's actually just being his normal Sleepy Head self. | |

Badass in Distress: Everyone (except Zero) gets hit with this in "Zero The Hero" The Puzzler has trapped Three, Five, Seven, Eight and Nine in puzzle bubbles on separate occasions, and Three's mouth was forced shut as well. Five was also stuck in quicksand one time. Five's eyes were forced shut in "Time Trouble" by Spooky Spoon and she almost had a nasty fall. Three and Four were almost sucked up by the Numbertaker on separate occasions. Five and Six were messed around with the Problem Blob on separate occasions. Six was stuck in a box during "Boxing Day". | |

Anchored Teleportation | |
| Numberjacks / int_4f2d8031 | comment |
Anchored Teleportation: Once launched out of the sofa, a Numberjack is turned into dust and can only materialize on a number that equals them (for instance, Four would have to land on a 4.) This must be done quickly, or else — as shown in "Seaside Adventure" — they will materialize somewhere completely arbitrary and find themselves unable to return home without assistance. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first episode, the countdown could not be heard when a numberjack gets sent to the real world. This is fixed in later episodes. In her first two appearances, Shape Japer's laughter could be heard during her song, but this does not happen in her later appearances. | |

Mid-Season Upgrade: In several episodes, Three wants to go out on a mission, but seems to never get her chance. She does get it eventually, with Five on three missions and Six on one. She was going to go out with Four as well but the launcher broke, making the episode in question her first ever solo mission. She eventually goes out by herself a few times. | |

Formula-Breaking Episode | |
| Numberjacks / int_670db7d7 | comment |
Formula-Breaking Episode: "Counting Down to Christmas" is a lot longer than most episodes and involves several of the antagonists instead of one. "Seaside Adventure" is also a lot longer and features multiple antagonists. Additionally, it begins in the control room (most episodes start off in the Cosy Room or the gym), four of the Numberjacks are on vacation, three agents get blobbed by the Problem Blob (usually, on the rare occasions an agent got affected by a "meanie", it was only one per episode), and instead of a recap of the episode, the episode ends with a song. In "Zero the Hero", instead of a villain causing the problem on purpose, or one of the baby Numberjacks causing the problem naively, the problem is caused by the launcher glitching out and causing the Numberjacks (except Zero) to freeze in place and move objects to people. | |

Big Brother Instinct | |
| Numberjacks / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Four, Five and Six are like this with Three, sometimes a little overprotective as she just wants to help on a mission, but was often deemed "too small a number" in the earlier episodes. That being said, they do become less overprotective of her later in the series, once she begins to go out on solo missions more regularly. Three is this to Zero, One and Two. Seven, Eight and Nine, as the most mature Numberjacks, are this to all the other numbers. | |

Shock-and-Switch Ending: In "Boxing Day", a mess-up with the technology results in several people and things being trapped in boxes. At the end of the episode, Three is in a box, making it seem like the troubles aren't over, but then it turns out that she got into the box on purpose to scare Four, Five, and Six as a prank. In "The Dreaded Lurgi", Four and Six, and later Three all get the eponymous disease, with one of the symptoms being sleepiness. At the end of the episode, everyone has recovered, but Zero falls asleep. Four is worried that Zero has the lurgi but Five confirms that Zero is just being his usual Sleepyhead self. | |

Genki Girl: Three is the most enthusiastic of the Numberjacks. Six is a close second, being a Genki Boy. Two is pretty active, but also quite moody, and he's a boy. Five and Seven are enthusiastic too, but not as much as Three. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Numberjacks / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One episode is titled "May The Fours Be With You". "The Dreaded Lurgi" takes its name from a fictional disease first coined by Spike Milligan for a 1954 episode of The Goon Show entitled "Lurgi Strikes Britain".note Milligan is speculated to have named it for the Lurgy, a river in County Donegal in the far north of Ireland. | |

| Numberjacks / int_c85f2b5e | comment |
In "The Dreaded Lurgi", Four and Six, and later Three all get the eponymous disease, with one of the symptoms being sleepiness. At the end of the episode, everyone has recovered, but Zero falls asleep. Four is worried that Zero has the lurgi but Five confirms that Zero is just being his usual Sleepyhead self. | |

Vacation Episode | |
| Numberjacks / int_c87737d9 | comment |
"Seaside Adventure" is also a lot longer and features multiple antagonists. Additionally, it begins in the control room (most episodes start off in the Cosy Room or the gym), four of the Numberjacks are on vacation, three agents get blobbed by the Problem Blob (usually, on the rare occasions an agent got affected by a "meanie", it was only one per episode), and instead of a recap of the episode, the episode ends with a song. | |

No Name Given: The family who lives in the house with the Numberjacks' sofa, consisting of a man, a woman, and their (presumed) daughter have no names initially. However, there is one episode where the daughter's name is revealed. It's Holly. | |

Character Catchphrase | |
| Numberjacks / int_d308cbb0 | comment |
Character Catchphrase: Three commonly says "Me, me, me!" when she wants to do something, mostly go out on a mission. Six is often heard saying "Did the trick" when the Numberjacks accomplish something. Whenever Five imagines something, she usually says "If [meanie/little Numberjack keeps causing the problem], anything could happen." In some episodes, Four says "I'm not sure" when he's nervous about going on a mission or sometimes doing advanced jumps in the gym. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Numberjacks / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In the episode "Almost Human", the human victim's girlfriend doesn't seem bothered that her boyfriend has been replaced with an anthropomorphic number 4, while the only response other humans give the "Numberjack Man" is a confused look. | |

Art Evolution: The 3D animation becomes smoother in later episodes, particularly with the Numberjacks' facial expressions. In Season 2, the 2D animation in Five's imagination becomes cleaner and more detailed. | |

| Numberjacks / int_ea3bd38c | comment |
Secret Squatter: The eponymous talking numbers, and their pets the Buddy Blocks, live inside a couch in a house belonging to a couple and their daughter Holly, without the family's knowledge. Unlike most Secret Squatters, the Numberjacks are on the side of good and solve problems caused by the show's antagonists (known as the "meanies"). | |
