Opposite Day
Small is bored of doing the same thing at the same time every single day. He tells Big they should celebrate Opposite Day. Instead of eating cereal and toast for breakfast in the kitchen, Big and Small eat smashed potatoes and mushy peas in bed. They swap ends of the bed and lie there for a while, instead of getting up and zooming as usual. But lying in bed is boring and they decide to go downstairs. Big and Small start untidying the house, knocking over piles of books and papers and bricks. Ruby comes out from her room and asks about all the noise - she's never heard of Opposite Day! Big and Small have a great idea: they decide to have a race in the garden, but make it 'opposite' Big will run backwards and Small will drive his car backwards. Ruby starts the race but soon Small has run his car into the pond and Big has run backwards into a tree. Big and Small, shaken but happy, decide that it's time to be the opposite of opposite - they'd rather go back to their regular lives!

Episode 6
Missing Answer
Big has nearly finished every puzzle in his book of puzzles - there is just one more to do. But it's the hardest puzzle of all: 'What moves backwards and forwards but doesn't go anywhere?' and no matter how hard he tries, Big just can't think of the answer. Small doesn't care - he thinks puzzles are not exciting. Small says if Big goes outside and plays ball with him right now, Small will help Big with the puzzle later. It's a deal. However, Big still thinks about the puzzle when he is supposed to be playing ball and doesn't join in the game. Small decides that going on the swing is the perfect activity to take Big's mind off that puzzle. This seems to work because Big stops thinking about the puzzle for a moment and enjoys swinging, while Small gets ready to give him a huge push. Suddenly, Big hops off the swing: he's just solved the puzzle!
