Well done, class! You've all passed

the extremely-important English test, except Peter.

So none of you are in danger of being held back a year,

except Peter.

But I answered all the questions.

Yes, but you didn't get any right.

To the question, "Can you spell the word wrench?"

-you answered, "No."

-BELL RINGS

Don't forget your test after lunch - maths!

Off you all go, except Peter.

But, Mrs Creecher, it's pie day!

You need to stay in class and revise.

Your friends can bring you a pie.

Don't worry, we'll bring you pies

AND we'll come up with a plan to make sure you pass that test!

I've already had a great idea. Paul says it'll definitely work.

-Ha-ha-ha!

-Well, to be on the safe side, I'll think of a Plan B.

Yours is Plan C, by the way.

There's no way Pieface is going to pass that test!

They're going to bust him all the way down to nursery!

Today, children, we're doing potato prints.

No, Paul!

His best chance of passing is revising with Mrs Creecher.

And Pieface said he had a plan!

His brain works in a weird way, but it does work.

We can't risk it.

If only we knew someone whose dad was a genius scientist.

Even if going to my dad was a good idea, which it isn't,

-how do we sneak Pieface out of the classroom?

-Hm-hm!

Oh! Er...Mrs Creecher? We've got Pieface some pies.

You and your pies, Peter!

No hats in class, Peter.

Take it off, please. Thank you!

Yes, I do know a way to help the pastry-based boy child

-pass the maths test.

-Great!

Stay in the classroom during lunch break and revise with your teacher.

Oh! If only someone had said that earlier,

when it was still possible(!)

We need a guaranteed pass!

-If Pieface gets held back, the gang will be split up.

-I've got a plan.

We need a big plan, like a long-range pencil!

Or a ghost who's really good at maths!

Or a mind-swapping machine.

Or a mind-swapping mach...! You've got one of those?

Well, let's see. I'll just ask my little friend.

WHIRRING AND FIZZING

-PROFESSOR:

-Professor Screwtop the Hamster!

Dad!

I perfected this mind-swapping machine so that I could use

the hamster's tiny little hands to assemble circuit boards.

So we just need to swap Pieface's mind

with someone who's really good at maths.

I mean, I would show you all of my maths certificates,

but unfortunately, I've scrunched them all up and stored them

in my cheeks for the winter. Oops! I forgot to lock his cage!

Body, come back!

You don't need to do all this for me. I've got a plan.

Yes, but my plan is better.

We just swap your brain with Screwtop's.

-Nothing could possibly go wrong!

-Help!

My body's trying to burrow away!

-THEY GROAN

-Pie!

Here we go!

Hey, Paul, check out this cool helmet thing. You want to try it on?

FIZZING

No!

-PROFESSOR:

-Ah! What an unexpectedly spuddy sensation!

I feel at one with the earth!

And delicious with baked beans and grated cheese!

It's gone wrong! Switch them back!

No, wait! This might be better!

Mrs Creecher might have noticed

if Pieface started talking in a funny accent, but...

But a potato talking in a funny accent, that's totally normal(!)

Hey, what do you mean, a funny accent?

Now the Prof can sit on Pieface's desk

and help do the test, disguised as Paul!

And afterwards, I get to write a Nobel-Prize-winning paper

on what it feels like to be a potato!

Come on, lunch is nearly over!

-PROFESSOR:

-16 times three is 48.

Oh, this maths is so easy, it's boring!

Oh, Mrs Creecher? Pieface is cheating!

He's got some sort of transmitter in his potato!

-He hasn't, Walter.

-But...but I heard it giving him the answers!

Potatoes can't talk, Walter!

-I've been trying to teach Peter that for years.

-Well, actually...

Oooh! Does that ball of paper mean I should stop talking, Dennis?

I didn't throw any paper at Pieface!

But if I did, it would mean stop talking, yes.

Ah. Two times 24 is 48.

-Ah!

-PROFESSOR SNORES

Pieface, just go with the plan you had! You can do it!

-That went brilliantly!

-You see? I told you my plan would work!

Oh, no, your plan didn't.

-The potato Professor fell asleep halfway through the test.

-What?!

I couldn't help it! Oh, the test was so easy, I got bored!

Also carbohydrates make me drowsy, and I am now super-carby.

WALTER WHISPERS

-Oh!

-BERTIE SNORTS

-Oi!

-Dad!

Gnasher, drop and roll!

-Hah!

-GNASHER SNARLS

What do you get if you cross an aeroplane with a magician?

I don't know, what do you get if you cross an aeroplane with a magician?

A flying sorcerer!

One move and the potato gets it!

I know you got this potato to tell you the answers,

and I'm going to find out how.

-No!

-Argh!

-Oh! Oh-ho!

-Hands off that spud!

-Ow!

-Dad!

-Dad?!

PROFESSOR SHRIEKS

Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Whoa!

Oh! Good doggy!

Now, please retract your fangs from the nice Professor's brain!

Woof!

Where's the Spudfather?

Now, if I was a potato who's been given the body of a middle-aged

-Nobel-Prize-winning scientist, I'd go to...

-I know where he might be.

Beano Land Theme Park! We'll start with the big dipper.

I can't believe I'm asking this,

but where do you think your potato would go if it grew legs?

Mm-hm!

Don't worry, Paul, the nice brain-swap machine

will get you out of this smelly old Professor's body.

-My dad is not smelly!

-He is a bit smelly, eating all that soil.

Oh! A brain-swap machine?!

So...Pieface WAS cheating!

Bertie, call Sergeant Slipper.

We'll get Pieface expelled, break up Dennis's gang,

confiscate the machine and use it ourselves to become billionaires!

THEY CHUCKLE

We've had a great time at Beano Land Theme Park,

but no sign of the Pr... Oh!

Yes, Pieface was right. Good thing we listened to him, eh(?)

Oh! Yeah.

-PROFESSOR:

-The helter-skelter was amazing! Being a potato is the best!

Freeze! We've had an anonymous tip-off from Walter

that you have been conducting...

unlicensed brain transfers between humans and root vegetables!

P-Prove it!

Er... Oh...

He's got us there, hasn't he?

I can't see anything strange going on here. Ta-ta!

This IS a mind-swapping machine and I can prove it! Watch!

Talk, potato! Talk!

Oooh! I think we should demonstrate the brain-swap device for Walter.

OK, Pieface. And why should we do that?

Because I'd like to try swapping brains with you, Dennis,

or anyone else who's nearby.

Yes, Dennis, maybe you should listen to Pieface. Sounds like a plan!

You mean you and me swap brains?

But I'll need Walter's help.

Hmm!

FIZZING

-WALTER:

-Look, Sergeant Slipper, it works!

Pieface tricked me into swapping our brains!

-PIEFACE:

-Oh, Pieface, you're very clever in your own way,

but this machine isn't real. It's just a silly prank.

I, Walter Brown, have been wasting police time.

Hmm!

Oh, I see. Having a joke at my expense? Oh!

-WALTER:

-No! He's me and I'm him!

He's tricked me! Him! Me! Him! Me! I tricked I! Him!

Um...Pieface, your shoelaces are untied.

-PIEFACE:

-No, they're not.

Oh! I see!

-WALTER:

-Oh, never mind shoes, I want my brain back in my head right...!

-FIZZING

-Whaa!

-WALTER:

-Oh, you're in for it now! I'm telling my dad!

Walter totally fell for that, and all because it came from you,

who couldn't have ever thought of such a smart plan!

Oh, thanks, Dennis.

If Walter hadn't erroneously underestimated my intelligence,

-it would never have worked.

-Yeah! What?

FIZZING

Hm!

How did you pass? Screwtop fell asleep.

I just went back to my plan.

I imagined all the numbers were little potatoes. Huh-huh!

You did very well, Peter.
