0:00:31 > 0:00:35Mum, can my friend stay over? He's going to the party tomorrow.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36What party?

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Louie's been invited to a really posh party

0:00:39 > 0:00:41at Margaret Ferguson's house. You know, the MP.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43But...he's eight.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47It's not the MP's party, is it? It's the MP's daughter Jane's birthday.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Is somebody jealous? Of course your friend can stay over,

0:00:50 > 0:00:52as long as his mum says it is all right.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Great! I'll go and tell Conor.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59What?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Conor, that's what.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Conor, as in Louie's imaginary friend,

0:01:03 > 0:01:05who I thought we had left behind in London.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08We did. He must have got the imaginary bus

0:01:08 > 0:01:09up the imaginary motorway.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Just ignore it and don't encourage him.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Me, encourage him? You're the one that took us

0:01:13 > 0:01:16all to Scotland that time for Conor's birthday.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Oh, yeah. Maybe we should go there again this year.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22OK. OK, point taken. I will deal with it.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Morning, everybody...

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Erm... I am going to go!

0:01:28 > 0:01:29You are so dead.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Hello, Mum. Hello, Dad.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Don't, "Hi, Mum" me, coming in at all hours.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37And I bet Mabel was to blame again.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39You said you didn't want to talk about it.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41I said it was too late to talk about it last night.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43NOW I want to talk about it.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Well, make your mind up!

0:01:44 > 0:01:45I have. You're grounded.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47What?! For a whole day?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Nice try. A whole week.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53It's Record Store Day tomorrow and I promised Mabel I'd go...

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Oh, Mabel! Thought so.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58You don't even know her! And Mabel's not bad, she's fun.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Not that you've ever had an atom of fun in your entire life...

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Am I really that boring?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11No, no, no, no. It's parenting, isn't it?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Every kid needs a fun parent and a...

0:02:14 > 0:02:16And a not-fun parent?

0:02:16 > 0:02:20That is so unfair! How dare she say that about you?

0:02:20 > 0:02:21It is outrageous.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Is that it? We can't get an ice cream with 17 pence.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Why not try moving on?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33That's the way to do it! That's the way to do it!

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Bye-bye, everybody! Bye-bye!

0:02:38 > 0:02:40APPLAUSE

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Genius.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45What's genius about a pair of socks beating each other up?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47A pair of socks?

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Punch and Judy is a highly-skilled art form.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53It's totally unrealistic.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Since when could a crocodile be overpowered with a wooden spoon?

0:02:56 > 0:02:59You'd need an M60.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Exactly, it was rubbish!

0:03:01 > 0:03:06Ah... Hello, guys! Good to see some older faces in the crowd.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Yeah, we were just saying, your show is...- Fantastic!

0:03:09 > 0:03:11We really loved it.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Compliments don't pay the bills.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Oh, Mr Punch, where are your manners?

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Brilliant!

0:03:18 > 0:03:20That's all we've got!

0:03:20 > 0:03:22And I really appreciate it.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Actually, do you think you could keep

0:03:24 > 0:03:26an eye on my booth for a few moments?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28I need a bathroom break.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yeah. Sure.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31Thanks, guys.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Right, let's make our money back and give these kids a proper show.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Louie. I thought we might have a little chat.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I wonder what's keeping Conor?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55You see, when a little boy's got a big imagination,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58he can sometimes think things are real when they're not.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Like what?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Well, like...

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Conor!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Yes, like Conor.- He's here!

0:04:06 > 0:04:07Gone.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Hi, Conor!

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Pound coins only.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25If anyone puts a button in the cup, I will find you and I will hurt you.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Relax, Ben. Just think of all the money...

0:04:28 > 0:04:30the ice cream.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32You don't know the first thing about Punch and Judy!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34No...

0:04:34 > 0:04:36But you do.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41You want me to operate Mr Punch?

0:04:41 > 0:04:42I won't let you down, Charlie.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I "borrowed" it from the ice cream lady,

0:04:47 > 0:04:49for the fight scenes.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50Raspberry syrup...

0:04:51 > 0:04:55There we go, a nice hot chocolate.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh, see her? Sophie Conroy.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05The nicest girl you will ever meet. Well, she was,

0:05:05 > 0:05:08until she met Bad Becky Brown.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Bad Becky Brown?- Mmm.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Straight-A student, she was, until she fell in with Becky Brown.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Do you know where she is now? Busking on the London Underground.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Oh, cool! Does she write her own material?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22No! What? Eh? No! No.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23My point is...

0:05:23 > 0:05:25My point is, I was young once...

0:05:26 > 0:05:29..and I know what it is like to be led astray.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Why are you on your own in all these photos?

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Am I? I hadn't noticed.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37President of the Solitaire Club?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Wow. Did you not you have any friends?

0:05:40 > 0:05:43What? Life is not a popularity contest, you know.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I get what this is about.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47You're jealous I get to hang around with the cool girl

0:05:47 > 0:05:49and you never could.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52There was nothing cool about Becky Brown, let me tell you.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56And where is she now? Prison, probably... And where am I?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Surrounded by my loving family.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Got any toast?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Yeah.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Good chat.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17APPLAUSE

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Hello, Mr Punch! Hello, everybody!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22CHILDREN: Hello!

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Now, has anybody seen our baby?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31What are you doing? Where's the baby?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33He said he wants older kids to watch,

0:06:33 > 0:06:36so I am going to make things a bit more...gritty.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'm hungry.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I'm afraid there's nothing to eat in here, Mr Crocodile.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43That's what you think!

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Raaagh!

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Charlie, stop it!

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Charlie! Charlie!

0:06:49 > 0:06:51THEY SCREAM

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Excellent! That's the way to do it.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Stop!

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Maybe I'll be a Punch and Judy man when I leave school.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06What have you done to my show?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09I can't take all the credit.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I mean, the syrup bit was Alison's idea.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13Get out!

0:07:16 > 0:07:19What are you doing?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Terrifying the kids, scaring all my customers away...

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Me?!

0:07:23 > 0:07:25I should report you.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29One more stunt like that and I'll see they take your licence away.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Do you think we should say something?- Yeah.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Three ninety-nines, please.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39With extra syrup.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Ah...

0:07:47 > 0:07:49There's a woman here who says the best way to deal with

0:07:49 > 0:07:51imaginary friends is give them chores.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53"Your child will soon tire of covering for

0:07:53 > 0:07:57"an imaginary friend and give up on them."

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Now could be your chance to find out.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Louie? Is that you?

0:08:00 > 0:08:02We're going to my room, Mum.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well, come and get a sandwich first.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Hold on.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10There you go.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14Thanks, Mum. Conor likes cheese too.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15Well, you know, Louie,

0:08:15 > 0:08:19if Conor wants to eat cheese, he's going to have to do his fair share.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Maybe he could start by weeding the gardens.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26OK.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31They give me jobs to do too.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Come on, I'll show you where they keep the tools.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45SHE COUGHS

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Hey, Hannah. What's up with you?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Sore throat. Won't make it out today.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Hey, you get in trouble for being late last night?

0:08:51 > 0:08:55As if! Nobody tells me what to do.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Except me. She's grounded, that's why she's pretending

0:08:57 > 0:08:58to have a sore throat.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Mum! You are so embarrassing!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Mabel, right?

0:09:04 > 0:09:07If this is about Hannah coming home late, that was all my fault.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Oh, I don't doubt it.- But please,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12if you let her go to Record Store Day, I swear it won't happen again.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I don't do deals.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Now, this whole cool thing might be fooling Hannah,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20but it takes more than a Wig Of Bees T-shirt to impress me.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22You've heard of Wig Of Bees?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24I was going to see Wig of Bees before you were born.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27You actually saw them? That is so cool.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'd love to hear about it sometime.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33My mum just doesn't get it at all. She's no fun.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36I am sure Hannah would say the same thing about me.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Does she?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Hey, why don't you come to the Record Store Day?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41You could turn Hannah onto some good tunes.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Yeah, she really doesn't get it, does she?

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Later, Mrs E!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah. Later, M... Mabel.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Ah, that's the infamous Mabel, is it?- Yeah...

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Do you know, I think she is all right.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I think she just needs a good role model.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01You know, someone she respects, but who is also fun.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05I would love to help but I've got my hands full with our lot, you know...

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I don't think there's any wasps' nests,

0:10:12 > 0:10:14so you don't have to worry about that.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Who parks on the beach when you're wide open to an amphibious assault?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Well, maybe he can't afford the car park.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Do you think we should pay the rest of the money?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Yeah, and some pointers on why his show's such a flop.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- That will really help him.- Charlie!

0:10:42 > 0:10:43What do you want?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Just came to give you this.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50The cash we earned at the show... minus a little ice cream money.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Well, that's very honest of you.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54One thing I appreciate, it's honesty.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Really? Because normally when I'm honest people just get upset.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Not me.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Well, if it's honesty you like, you'll love this.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04When I first saw your show, I thought - no offence -

0:11:04 > 0:11:06"Those puppets are rubbish,"

0:11:06 > 0:11:08but then I realised, it's not the puppets,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11it's you. See, what you need to do is,

0:11:11 > 0:11:13you just need to work on your comedy a bit.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Why don't you try something a little like this?

0:11:15 > 0:11:18"Hello, everybody! Ooh!"

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Ka-ka! Ka-ka! Ka-ka!

0:11:21 > 0:11:22Oh...

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Bit shoddy, isn't it? I mean, I barely touched it.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Run!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Out the way!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Wait till I get my hands on you!

0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's not me you should be after, it's those kids!

0:11:48 > 0:11:52He's been terrifying kids all day. You should take his licence.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54I feel terrible...

0:11:56 > 0:11:59..I shouldn't have had that second ice cream.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Can Conor have some ice cream too?

0:12:04 > 0:12:07No, because he hasn't finished weeding the front garden.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10He has! You haven't even looked!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12And has he watered the lawn?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14But it's going to be dark soon.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Well, you'd better tell him to get on a move on, hadn't you?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Hannah, how would you like it

0:12:25 > 0:12:28if I said you can go to Record Shop Day with Mabel?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Really? Thanks, Mum!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33I think it'll be really good for us to hang out together.

0:12:33 > 0:12:38Us? You're going too? This is a nightmare.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43That could have gone better.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45She's a teenager, isn't she?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47The last thing she wants is to hang out with her big old dorky mum...

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Oh, brain freeze...

0:12:55 > 0:12:56I brought you some supplies.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20This has gone far enough.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23I think you need to have a word with Louie.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24I know. Yeah.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31I finished the garden. Can I have something to eat now?

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Sure. Just go downstairs and Dad will make you some breakfast.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37What if he gives me more work?

0:13:37 > 0:13:41Fine. You stay here, I'll go and get it.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Dad, Conor's finished the garden. Can he have some breakfast now?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Sit down, Louie, there's something I need to tell you.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's about Conor, isn't it?

0:13:59 > 0:14:00I'm afraid it is.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02You want him to trim the hedge?

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Louie...

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Conor doesn't exist.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07What?

0:14:07 > 0:14:11Sometimes, when you're little, you have imaginary friends

0:14:11 > 0:14:13and that's not a bad thing.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15But there comes a time when you have to let go.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Oh, no, he's not my imaginary friend Conor,

0:14:20 > 0:14:22this is a different Conor.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24A real Conor.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28I know it's hard to believe, he may seem as real as you or I.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30But he's not.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33But I can see him.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35No, Louie. You think you can see him,

0:14:35 > 0:14:37but he's not really there.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44I didn't sleep at all last night. Don't you feel bad?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Why should I?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48I tried to say sorry and the guy went crazy!

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Uh-oh.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52The tide must have come in when he was at the police station.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55That was his home!

0:14:55 > 0:14:58OK, maybe now I feel a bit bad.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59I am going to go and say sorry again.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Charlie, we are way past sorry.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04You're right. We need to fix this.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Are you sure?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I'm afraid so.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Because I don't feel imaginary.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Louie!

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Ah! Your mum's looking for you downstairs.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Time to get you ready for the party.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Conor doesn't believe he doesn't exist.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31OK, OK, well, let's go and have a chat with him and I tell you what,

0:15:31 > 0:15:34if he does exist, he's got to do a lot more work in the garden.

0:15:34 > 0:15:35It's a right mess. Come on...

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Right, where is he then?

0:15:41 > 0:15:44He's gone! He DOESN'T exist!

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Louie, that is what I have been telling you.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Come on. Let's get ready.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's not every day you get invited to a big posh party

0:16:03 > 0:16:05at an MP's house. You must be excited.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Can you keep it down? We're trying to think over here.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11There's got to be a way to get the professor back in business.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Forgery. We can create him a new licence,

0:16:13 > 0:16:15then he can work under an assumed name.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18And lose the whole Professor Chuckles brand?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Come on, Alison, think.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Don't you worry, Louie. There will be plenty of real children

0:16:23 > 0:16:26to play with at the party. Plus there is loads of entertainment.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28You've got Beth the Bubble Lady, Magic Melissa,

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Eric's Exotic Animals...

0:16:30 > 0:16:32That's it! Dad, you're a genius!

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Come on, we've got to go.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41So when Professor Chuckles does a good show at the kids' party,

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- the MP will give him his licence back.- Outstanding!

0:16:43 > 0:16:46But Professor Chuckles hasn't been asked to perform at the party.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49No problem, when Eric's Exotic Animals doesn't show up,

0:16:49 > 0:16:51they'll take what they can get.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55And why won't Eric's Exotic Animals be showing up?

0:16:55 > 0:16:57The less you know, the better.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59What's that supposed to mean?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14SCREAMING

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Here you go, you look so smart.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Right, here are my conditions.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Firstly, no hugging in front of Mabel.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Secondly, you can't use any of my childhood nicknames.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30What do you mean, Hannah-Banana?

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Right, I've got to go get ready.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Don't forget, have a good time.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38What do you mean, "Get ready?" Mum!

0:17:40 > 0:17:43And how am I supposed to perform at this party?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45My puppets are ruined!

0:17:46 > 0:17:48That one looks all right.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50That...

0:17:50 > 0:17:52is a ventriloquist's dummy.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54I haven't done that act in 20 years.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58You're a genius,

0:17:58 > 0:18:00could be a whole new career for you.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Well, genius might be a strong word.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06You'll be fab.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Mum, will you wipe that make-up off? It's ridiculous.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Says you, I've never seen so much blusher.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21I'm not even wearing blusher, I'm in a permanent state of embarrassment.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Hey, Hannah.

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Looking good, Mrs E.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Hey... You can call me Helen.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Right, hey?

0:18:34 > 0:18:38I am not sure about this.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39What's he saying to her?

0:18:39 > 0:18:42He's explaining how one of the acts had to cancel at the last minute

0:18:42 > 0:18:45due to unforeseen circumstances.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47We're in,

0:18:47 > 0:18:51and it gets even better - there's a fee of £100!

0:18:51 > 0:18:52Now, erm...

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Naturally, we'll be taking a small finder's fee.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03But...what if Conor comes back?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07If Conor comes back, just ignore him.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10He's not real. He's like, erm...a dream.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Oh. OK.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Yeah, or a ghost.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16- A ghost?- Yeah. Exactly. Go on, off you pop.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Why can't you just get some of your own mates? This is pathetic.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29I thought we were having fun.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Wow. Old records are not cheap.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Give it here.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Really? Thank you so much, Helen.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Hey, after this, should we go for a pizza?

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Sounds great.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43You know what she's doing, right?

0:19:43 > 0:19:46She's pretending to be fun just so she can lecture you

0:19:46 > 0:19:48on how to be boring like her.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Sh... Don't blow this! I've already got some rare vinyl.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53And I love pizza.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57What, so you're pretending to like her just to get free stuff?

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Well, duh.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02I knew it! I knew she wasn't fun!

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Yes?- Hi, I'm Joan, I'm Conor's mum.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11I was just dropping a present off at the party

0:20:11 > 0:20:14and they said you hadn't dropped Conor off yet.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Conor?- Yes, Conor.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20- He stayed here with your Louie last night.- Erm...

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Conor!

0:20:30 > 0:20:31- There you go.- Come on, sweetheart.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Oh, erm...thanks for the good work on the garden,

0:20:33 > 0:20:35that was cracking stuff.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38You might want to give him a cheese sandwich when you get a minute.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Come on.- There he is, in the flesh.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Conor, as I live and breathe.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49You must know it! The chorus goes...

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Whoo!

0:20:52 > 0:20:53I've always wanted one of these.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55You are having a laugh if you think my mum

0:20:55 > 0:20:57is going to buy you an MP3 player.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58She doesn't have to.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00We'll wait outside for you, Helen!

0:21:04 > 0:21:07- What are you doing?- What, so me being grounded isn't enough,

0:21:07 > 0:21:09so now you want me in a juvenile detention centre?

0:21:14 > 0:21:15Mabel!

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- So what do you think?- Outstanding!

0:21:27 > 0:21:29You know, I'd like to thank you all.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Thank us?

0:21:31 > 0:21:35Yeah, I mean, for years I've been hiding in my Punch and Judy booth,

0:21:35 > 0:21:38knowing that I'm really a ventriloquist at heart.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40But now here I am doing it.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45So what's his name?

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Everyone, this is Cheesely.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Cheesely, are you going to thank the nice children

0:21:50 > 0:21:53for giving you your big break?

0:21:53 > 0:21:55HE MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Yes.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yes, and that goes doubly for me.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Don't even think about it.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Mabel, what have you done?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19I'm so sorry, Mummy!

0:22:19 > 0:22:22You are just lucky the shop agreed not to prosecute...

0:22:22 > 0:22:24after I paid for everything.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27- And you, you should be ashamed of yourself!- Me?

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Distracting staff while children steal for you.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32That's not actually what...

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Bad Becky Brown?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's you from school.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Do you remember I told you about Becky Brown?

0:22:42 > 0:22:44How is it going, Becky?

0:22:44 > 0:22:46We all make mistakes when we're teenagers...

0:22:47 > 0:22:51..but this, this is just sad.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54Let's go, Mabel.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09You're not real.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22We can't let Professor Chuckles go on, he's terrible!

0:23:22 > 0:23:25It'll be the final nail in his showbiz coffin.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Ben's right. We need to abort.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30What? And lose 100 quid? I don't think so.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32I'll do this show myself.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34What? Could you see my lips moving?

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Nothing's ever easy these days, is it?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Charlie! You have to hide me. It's Conor.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44He's here - he's haunting me.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48I've got the perfect disguise for you, Louie.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Well, you were right about Mabel from the start.- Yeah.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Until I went and ruined it by trying to be all down in the kids.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02With. Down WITH the kids.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03With the kids, yeah.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Hey, what about you in there, though,

0:24:05 > 0:24:07you weren't so bad.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Does that mean I'm not grounded?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13- As long as your dad never gets to hear about this.- Deal.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17Hey, there you go. I never really liked Wig Of Bees.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Far too cool for me.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Thanks, Mum. Hey, does that mean you'll buy me a record player?

0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Don't push your luck. - That is so unfair!

0:24:32 > 0:24:33This is insane.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36It's never going to work, we haven't even got an act!

0:24:36 > 0:24:38We don't need an act. I'm hilarious.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45Right, I only had what I could find in the bathroom, but...

0:24:45 > 0:24:48camouflage effect has been achieved.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51That's actually pretty good.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Pretty good? It's perfect!

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Are you sure Conor won't know it's me?

0:24:56 > 0:24:59He won't even know you're real as long as you act like a dummy.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02OK...nearly showtime. I'm actually quite nervous!

0:25:03 > 0:25:05What's all this?

0:25:05 > 0:25:09If you'd like to step in to the bathroom, I'll explain everything.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Bathroom? Why would I... Oi!

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Let me out!

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Showtime.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for...

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Cheesely.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24APPLAUSE

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Erm...

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Say hello, Cheesely.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Hello, Cheesely.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Are you enjoying the party, Cheesely?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Don't ask me, I'm just a dummy.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Are you two enjoying the party? - Yeah.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50What about you, young man? Are you enjoying the party?

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Who, me?

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Obviously! I'm looking directly at you!

0:25:54 > 0:25:57- You can see him too?- Yeah!

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Conor, you're alive, just like me!

0:25:59 > 0:26:01SCREAMING

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Now that's entertainment.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Run!

0:26:15 > 0:26:18So everything all right with Mabel, then?

0:26:18 > 0:26:21Yeah, yeah. I don't think we have to worry about her any more.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25How are things on the Conor front?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Yes, brilliant. Yes indeedy...

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Yes... I'd be very surprised if we saw his face round here again.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34DOORBELL BUZZES

0:26:34 > 0:26:36- I'll get it!- I'll get that!

0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Mr and Mrs Enright?- The whole shoplifting thing was a set up.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44I would never make an eight-year-old weed my gardens.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48Actually, we're here about your son Charlie.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Of course, Charlie's in trouble!

0:26:52 > 0:26:53That is a relief.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55We've given Charlie a warning

0:26:55 > 0:26:57but you can expect a call from the honourable member

0:26:57 > 0:26:59whose party he ruined.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00Wonderful, thank you.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Thank you, officer, you are a credit to the force, you really are.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07Lovely, lovely. Come on, you.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09See you soon! Probably...

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Charlie! What on earth were you doing at the party?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14What were you doing at the honourable member's party?

0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Have you not got anything to say? - I have got plenty to say.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Poor kids. With parents like that, they've got no chance.

0:27:23 > 0:27:24How can this be right?

0:27:24 > 0:27:28Cleaning up after kids and grounded for a week. And for what?

0:27:28 > 0:27:30For showing an interest in the arts!

0:27:30 > 0:27:31What kind of lesson is that for a child?

0:27:31 > 0:27:33It's a travesty of justice!
