Nanny State Dennis & Gnasher

-Ready, Gnasher?

-Yes, yes!

-Let's go!

# Playing by the rules

# Is highly overrated

# Unstoppable, unstoppable, yeah

# They can't hold us back

# We'll make the most of every second

# Unstoppable, unstoppable, yeah

# After all is said and done

# Shout one for all and all for one

# Nothing's gonna bring us down today, yeah

# Open up your eyes, the world outside is waiting. #

Woah!

You hooligans!

Ahh!

Oh! Hi, Mum and Dad.

-Dennis...

-We have someone we want you to meet.

-Oh!

-She's come to... look after you.

Right.

Dennis, this is Nanny Moonbeam.

-It's just that...

-Can't hear you up there, Mr Daddy!

Now, tell me again.

We saw your programme on television and...

Well, Dennis can be very naughty.

SHE GURGLES

Oh, we don't say "naughty", Mrs Mummy.

It's just that he's unable to let his natural goodness shine through.

-See?

-Well, we think he needs more discipline.

Oh, dear me, no. He just needs to put all his negativity

in a tiny bottle of Say Sorry and let his love grow.

Are you sure? We've tried...

Now, if you're going to start a new life,

you'll need a new name. What shall we call you?

Captain Spacetiger! Erm... er... Dr Maximillian Von Strudelheim?

I think Little Denny Rainbow.

GNASHER SNIGGERS

And you will be Fluffy Flowerpup.

That's right, Curly. No punishments allowed!

It's brilliant! I thought she might be tricky,

but it's going to be a push-over.

HE CHUCKLES

Now, Denny Rainbow,

you've just run over the kitchen floor. Was that kind?

Kind of what?

The kitchen floor doesn't like little people who think they're clever.

Would you like to say sorry to the kitchen floor?

Oh... yeah. Sure!

And to make Mr Floor happy, would you like to give him a nice clean?

I don't think so.

Well, Mr Squidgy Widgy would!

And I think he wants to start cleaning right away.

Ohh...

Now, you must be hungry after all your work.

What's your favourite food, Denny Rainbow?

Er... pizza. Hamburger. Chicken wings. Chocolate fudge cake!

And what DON'T you like?

I hate Brussels sprouts when they're all grey and...

Then let's turn all that hate into love and respect, shall we?

I've been boiling these for three hours,

and I'm sure you'll love them just as much as they love you.

HE RETCHES

Gnash gnash gnash!

Oh, look, he's smiling!

Fluffy Flowerpup wants his sprouty-wouts too?

Gnash gnash!

Owww!

Oh, I'm not doing any more of this!

Rule 52 - we don't stop until the job is done, do we?

And what happens when we break the rule?

We discuss it in the Talk It Through Teepee.

-HE MUTTERS

-Talk It Through Teepee...

What a load of rubbish!

And the Contemplation Kennel!

HE SIGHS

And we're also going to discuss making it up to Mr Tree

for climbing him this morning and breaking Rule 14.

THEY PLAY VERY LOUDLY

Denny Rainbow?

Do you know any whale music?

-I've got to go...

-See you later, Den.

And now you'll want to welcome the frightened birds

back to their homes, won't you?

-HE SIGHS

-"I made a din, my feathered friends,

"I had my selfish fun.

"I'll plant a flower for you, because I broke Rule 61."

And what do we do then?

She's driving me crazy, Curly! Every time I do anything,

-she comes in and...

-Bed time, Denny Rainbow!

And I'll see you at 5am

for an extra Plant A Flower And Sing How Lucky We Are session.

That's it! We're leaving home.

HE SNIFFS

OK, Gnasher. Get on board!

Gnash gnash gnash!

Let's go!

Ooh... Huh?

W-we were just getting a drink of water.

SHE HUMS TO HERSELF

Life just can't get any worse.

It can! Walter!

-What are you doing, Dennis?

-Tell him, Denny.

Denny Rainbow?

I'm enjoying the warm sunshine and pretty flowers.

Huh! So, they're finally teaching you hooligans to behave.

I'm Walter. I must congratulate you

on having such a wonderful effect on Dennis.

What a very charming boy. You should be more like him, Denny!

Exactly. If you were like me, Dennis,

you wouldn't always be getting into trouble. Would he? Ha-ha-ha!

Ohh!

(I am like Walter now, and I always will be,

(unless I can rid of this woman!)

Hang on... What if Walter was like me?

The real me? Then...

That's it, Gnasher! It's simple. We have to make Walter more like me.

-You've got to take a note to Curly and Pie-Face.

-Gnash!

THEY PANT

-What's all this then, Den?

-It's my plan to get rid of her!

Listen, I don't have long.

She's let me out on a "trust exercise"

to buy "pro-bionic yoghurt".

These are for you.

What, scare her off?

You wouldn't need glasses, Pie-Face!

You know, if he had a bow tie...

There's a set for you too, Curly.

-..he'd look like...

-Walter?

-You're right!

I'm going to be good, and Walter - that's you two -

is going to be a menace. Then we'll see who needs Nanny Moonbeam!

-Why two Walters, Den?

-Because I want him everywhere!

Look at me! I'm... brainy!

Whee-ee-ee!

It can't be!

Hi, Sergeant Slipper.

It's me again. I'm so naughty!

-Oi!

-And so artistic!

HE SPLUTTERS Walter?!

Everyone at work saw him!

He climbed up the statue of Mr Scrimp

and painted his nose blue!

-I can't believe it!

-Apparently he was seen in the High Street, too,

releasing a load of penguins into a fish shop!

-Doesn't sound like Walter.

-It was him, all right -

he was wearing a bow tie and he was carrying a violin.

-It's more the kind of thing Dennis would do.

-Den-Den!

Except that he's here all the time.

Oh, Walter. It must be the strain of having all those brains.

-Nanny Moonbeam?

-Yes, Denny Rainbow?

-I have a confession.

Gnasher and I almost ran across the grass yesterday.

We stopped ourselves, of course.

Well done, little Denny.

But I think I might need another session

in the Talk It Through Teepee.

I think you're a very good boy.

That's what we're hoping for!

THEY SNIGGER

Yes, today's the big one. Got the street map? The shovels?

Shovels - check. Wheelbarrows - check.

It's OK, Den, we'll get you out!

And you know where you're headed? Go for it, then!

She's certainly doing a marvellous job.

-Oh, yes.

-Today she made me clean out all the kitchen cupboards

-because I spilt some sugar on the worktop.

-Quite right!

Yes, I accidentally mowed one of her flowers

and she made me write a letter of condolence to its mummy and daddy.

-She's a wonderful person.

-Absolutely.

But she's driving me mad!

If I have to sit once more in that Circle Of Truth...

But how do we get rid of her?

TELEPHONE RINGS

Hello? Yes, yes, it is.

It's Walter's dad!

Really? Quick-drying cement?

In the Mayor's car?!

Oh, Walter! He has gone off the rails, hasn't he?

We do, actually. She's called Nanny Moonbeam.

Recommend her? Oh, absolutely! Well, we don't need her any more.

Fine. Yes, I'll tell her right away.

Oh, thank goodness! I don't think I could have taken much more.

Me neither. Still, she's gone now. Everything's back to normal.

But just because Nanny Moonbeam's gone,

doesn't mean that you can misbehave, OK?

Course not, Dad.

-(Re-sult!)

-Gnn-ash!

WALTER'S DOORBELL RINGS

CRASH!

I think young Walter and I are going to need an emergency session

in the Talk It Through Teepee.

Whee! Wooh!
