0:02:32 > 0:02:37Laboratory analysis shows school sausages only have 5% pork content.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39You sent our sausages to a lab?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41You can find out anything these days

0:02:41 > 0:02:43if you've got a jiffy bag and the internet.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44Well, do you think you could inform me,

0:02:44 > 0:02:47before telling the rest of the world about a crisis in our cafeteria?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49What story are you working on now?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm investigating the school governors' plans

0:02:51 > 0:02:53- to sell off part of the playing field.- Ah...

0:02:53 > 0:02:55No, no, right...

0:02:55 > 0:03:00I want you to put that on hold and write a piece about...

0:03:03 > 0:03:04..the school play.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Show the readers how much hard work goes into putting on a production,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09how it brings the whole school together -

0:03:09 > 0:03:11all for one and one for all, that kind of thing.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14That's not a real story, that's celebrity gossip.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16It's a good news story and it's what this school needs.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Now, get out.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Quicker.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Quicker.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the open try-outs for the auditions

0:03:29 > 0:03:35for this year's musical, The King of Siam, directed by Mr Rock.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38All right, so, this play has got everything - it's got tears,

0:03:38 > 0:03:42it's got laughter, it's got songs, it's got war.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46HE BLOWS A FANFARE

0:03:47 > 0:03:52It is the story about the King of Siam, who hires Anna to teach his...

0:03:54 > 0:03:57..19 kids - don't ask -

0:03:57 > 0:03:59but then, all of a sudden, they start to clash...

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Their relationship falls off the edge of the cliff.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08DESCENDING NOTE

0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's going to be wonderful. So, I need a king, I need...

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Sir, Sir...- Excuse me?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Hello, Emily Zipzer, Westbrook Weekly.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20How are you? Nice to see you.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22What is it like being a director? Is it very stressful?

0:04:22 > 0:04:23No, it's not stressful.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25I mean, you know what happens,

0:04:25 > 0:04:29you get to see the entire production grow, come alive, and entertain.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33But didn't the storage sheds for the sets burn down last year?

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Yes, the storage shed burnt down, but we've got a plan this year,

0:04:37 > 0:04:40we're using fire-retardant paint. Thank you.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43And didn't the entire cast come down with chicken pox on the first night?

0:04:43 > 0:04:45What are you? The bearer of bad news?

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Yes, they got sick, I'm hoping they're going to stay healthy.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50You guys going to stay healthy this year? See?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52And is it true that only 14 tickets were sold

0:04:52 > 0:04:54for last year's performance?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59OK...

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yes.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Only 14 people showed up for the whole play last year,

0:05:03 > 0:05:07it was mostly parents. I mean, you direct, you rehearse

0:05:07 > 0:05:11and then nobody comes, it was like - you could hear crickets in here.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Thank you! - Thanks for bringing that up.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Miss Zipzer, could you do me a favour?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Could you write me a nice report?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20How about a...a tenner?

0:05:20 > 0:05:21Is that bribery?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I LOVE maths.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Love, love, love it!

0:05:30 > 0:05:33And long division is my favourite thing ever.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Now, have a look and tell me what you see.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Well, Ranjit's trying to break his record for how many samosas

0:05:40 > 0:05:41he can eat in a minute.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42RETCHING

0:05:42 > 0:05:44And now Luke is going to need a clean jumper.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Are you going to be serious about this or what?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'm definitely going for the "or what".

0:05:49 > 0:05:52This isn't a joke, Hank. I want you to come with me

0:05:52 > 0:05:54as I lead you down the path to mathematical excellence.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Before we set off, I just need to use the loo.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03You will teach my children what I want them to learn.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I am the King of Siam and you WILL obey me.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10My goodness, Mr McKelty, you were fantastic!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13All right, kids, that's the end of the audition for today.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Now, it is verdict time.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Who is going to be the king?

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Sorry I'm late, sir!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20The auditions are over, Zitface.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Oh, no, I think we can find some time for Hank, don't you?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Katie, would you please read Anna for us?

0:06:32 > 0:06:35All right, we'll start on page three.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Look at your scripts.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40'This is your big chance. Don't mess it up.'

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Just doing my warm-up exercises.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Ready!

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Erm, Your Majesty, would you like me to teach you how to dance?

0:06:56 > 0:06:57A king doesn't dance.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59A king sits upon his throne

0:06:59 > 0:07:03and watches, as others dance for his entertainment.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Now, I command you to dance for me.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Dance!

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Dance!!

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I'm the King of Siam and you WILL obey me.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Wow, OK!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Hank Zipzer, front and centre.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30All right, everybody, I think we have found the King of Siam -

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Hank Zipzer!- Thank you.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39I gave up my lunchtime to teach you long division

0:07:39 > 0:07:40and this is how you repay me?

0:07:40 > 0:07:44When you fail your next maths test, it'll be me that Miss Adolf blames!

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Shame on you, Hank Zipzer! Shame on you.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51And I think we have found our new Anna!

0:07:51 > 0:07:52We have?

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Yes, we have! You are wonderful.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01All right, auditions are over.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Thank you Mr Rock,

0:08:02 > 0:08:06but some of us prefer to spend their free time doing something useful,

0:08:06 > 0:08:08like studying.

0:08:08 > 0:08:14Oh. Well, in that case, Katie would you play Anna?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Yes.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Rehearsals will be at lunchtime and you will not be late.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Go memorise your lines.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31The King hereby proclaims his maths tutoring is over.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Can you tell our readers what it feels like

0:08:37 > 0:08:40- to get turned down for a part?- Get lost.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44OK, I'll say you feel "lost" and you're struggling to get over it.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48You want a story? I'll give you a story.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'm going to get that part off your brother if it's the last thing I do.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Thank you!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04I always say, this boy should be on the stage!

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Tonight you get to choose what we have for tea.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Your wish is my command.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11The king and his subjects will have the finest pepperoni pizza

0:09:11 > 0:09:12in all the land.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18Erm...will the king accept meatballs?

0:09:18 > 0:09:19I will allow it.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Breaking news, everyone...

0:09:22 > 0:09:24He's not a real king.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29I will find the appropriate punishment for you, peasant girl.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30I heard that!

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Have you thought about how you're going to learn all your lines?

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, Stan, let him enjoy the moment

0:09:34 > 0:09:36before you start worrying him about that.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38He's the king, he can get someone else to learn his lines.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Well, you just let us know if you need any help.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43They need parents to volunteer to help sell tickets and stuff.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45There's a meeting at school tomorrow.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Then we shall report to the palace and receive our commands.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51The king would now like to stay up all night watching horror movies.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Yeah, didn't think that would work.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I must insist Henry Zipzer spend his lunchtimes studying,

0:10:03 > 0:10:05not gadding about pretending to be a king!

0:10:05 > 0:10:09So, I take that as - you are not a fan of the arts?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm not a big fan of students defying their teachers

0:10:12 > 0:10:14and getting away with it.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Well, the Academy must...

0:10:16 > 0:10:19must champion both the arts and the sciences.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22But I just wouldn't want Hank's poor maths results

0:10:22 > 0:10:25to drag down the stats for his year.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27So, I think...

0:10:27 > 0:10:28Absolutely.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Absolutely. You know what? I'm going to cancel the play.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Great.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35I think it's for the best.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Oh, I forgot to tell you,

0:10:37 > 0:10:41the newspaper was going to do this big spread on Westbrook,

0:10:41 > 0:10:44they wanted pictures of the headmaster,

0:10:44 > 0:10:45the children and everything.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47West...Westbrook Academy?

0:10:47 > 0:10:51No, no, no, luckily, they can do it on Eastbrook,

0:10:51 > 0:10:52cos they're doing a bigger musical,

0:10:52 > 0:10:56they've got an orchestra, so, you know, it's great.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Ta-ta!

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Eastbrook...

0:11:03 > 0:11:06I have decided it is in the best interests of the school

0:11:06 > 0:11:08that you are allowed to take part in the play.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11But that does not mean you are getting out of learning maths!

0:11:11 > 0:11:12I have agreed with Mr Love

0:11:12 > 0:11:15that you will do your peer tutoring sessions with Heather after school.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- So, she's free after school?- Mm.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21She doesn't have a nuclear physics club to go to or something?

0:11:21 > 0:11:24When you resit your long division test, I expect you to get a B-plus

0:11:24 > 0:11:27or I'll be staying after school to teach you myself.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30I'm getting a B-plus.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35How many injuries have you had so far during rehearsals?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38So far, it's mainly been paper cuts. Those scripts are lethal.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Do you worry how you would react in a real emergency?

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I'd stay calm and follow my first aid training.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45But what if you panicked and froze?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47That's not going to happen.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49But how can you know for sure?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Thank you!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58We wouldn't be able to put these school plays on

0:11:58 > 0:12:00without the generous support of our parents,

0:12:00 > 0:12:03so thank you all for coming along.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Who would like to volunteer to make the costumes?

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Mm-hm.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12And build the set?

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Make refreshments?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Who'd do that?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Handle ticket sales?

0:12:22 > 0:12:23Organise a raffle?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Mm.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Write the programme?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Grrr...Excellent!

0:12:30 > 0:12:34I think the show's going to be a great success.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36All right, go go. You can go.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Engine room, this is your captain speaking.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Take us up to warp speed.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Your Majesty, I need a schoolroom,

0:12:47 > 0:12:50I can't teach the children in the palace garden.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55'This is impossible. I can't do this.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58'What will Katie think?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00'There's only one thing for it.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02'I had to let my brain take over.'

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Then you shall have the finest schoolroom in all of Siam!

0:13:04 > 0:13:06I don't remember that line in the script?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09- I thought we could improvise. - That was great in the audition,

0:13:09 > 0:13:12but, here, we don't have a lot of rehearsal time left,

0:13:12 > 0:13:16so when the people are filling this hall you're going to need your words.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18You want to try it again? Now just relax. Come on.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Just shake it out. Brrrrr.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Brrr.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24No, no, no really. Shake it out. Brrrr!!

0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Brrrr.- OK, here we go, do it again.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31I can't teach the children in a palace garden.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35I, erm...

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Nature is the best schoolroom, it holds all the lessons of life.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Thanks, Nick. Can we use Nick instead?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I can learn the lines, it's not a problem.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46It's a big problem.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54A farmer has 42 eggs, which he needs to put into egg boxes.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58Each box contains 12 eggs. How many egg boxes can he fill?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Could he make a big omelette instead?

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Why does everything have to be a big joke with you?

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Maybe if you used your brain to think about the problem,

0:14:04 > 0:14:07instead of something funny, you wouldn't be here.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Do you know what it's like to have a brain that doesn't work?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12To feel totally stupid?

0:14:12 > 0:14:15I do, that's my life.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Every single day.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19If I can't work out how to teach you

0:14:19 > 0:14:22then I'm the stupid one, Hank, not you.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Everybody hates me, don't they?- No!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27They think I'm a swot and stuck up.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Well, sometimes you can come across a bit too perfect.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32You know the real reason I turned down the play?

0:14:32 > 0:14:36I get nervous on stage. Totally freeze up.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Really?- You make it look so easy. How do you do it?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41It helps if you don't mind making a fool of yourself.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44And I do that a lot.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47I think you'll make a great king and a great mathematician.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50I just need a Plan B.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Plan B! Why didn't I think of that?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Tell me again exactly what he said.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03He ran in, threw this at me,

0:15:03 > 0:15:05and said he was going to see how much a crane costs.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09A crane? "Hank's plan B. Ways to learn my..."

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Hold on.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17That's better. "Ways to learn my lines.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20"1 - Suspend Frankie over the stage on a crane

0:15:20 > 0:15:22"and let him whisper them to me."

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Nah.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26"2 - Train a mouse to sit on my shoulder

0:15:26 > 0:15:28"and let it whisper the lines to me."

0:15:28 > 0:15:30No!

0:15:30 > 0:15:33"Asterisk - need to teach mouse to talk. See number 2."

0:15:33 > 0:15:35This is hopeless.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Switch all power to the front shields and prepare for re-entry.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Captain Frankie has an idea!

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Our border is under attack.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47I must travel north at once with my army.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48You mustn't put yourself in danger!

0:15:48 > 0:15:51A king must lead his men into battle or he is not truly a king.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Holy smoke, look who's learning his lines.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Congratulations. I'm so proud of you.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59That was awesome, you were word perfect.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Maybe you could come over to my house later and help me learn mine?

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- OK, sure.- OK, you know what we're going to do now?

0:16:05 > 0:16:09Let's do the song, top of act two. All right, you know it?

0:16:09 > 0:16:11You guys ready?

0:16:11 > 0:16:12All right kids, here we go.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Good energy. One, two, three, four.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18BAND PLAYS

0:16:18 > 0:16:20# A king should always be...

0:16:20 > 0:16:23# A-dooba dooba do do... #

0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Can you hear me OK? - # Dabba dabba do! #

0:16:28 > 0:16:31How about if we "dooby dooby doo" right into the words?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34# A-dabba dabba doo... #

0:16:34 > 0:16:36# A king should never stray... #

0:16:36 > 0:16:38FEEDBACK

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Frankie.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Come here, go and get the nurse as quickly as you can.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47You'll be fine.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Can this day get any worse?

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Miss Adolf is giving us a maths test after lunch.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52Yes, it can.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55I've had an idea how to teach you. Come on!

0:17:00 > 0:17:03There are 31 chips on this plate.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Put 12 on that plate and 12 onto this one...

0:17:09 > 0:17:11How many chips have you got left?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Seven.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15So how many times does 12 go into 31?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Two times, with seven chips left over!

0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Correct, Hank! - I can do long division!

0:17:19 > 0:17:21- You can do long division!- Yes!

0:17:24 > 0:17:27This is getting weird. We're almost like, well...

0:17:27 > 0:17:29almost like friends.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Eurgh!

0:17:30 > 0:17:33I can't believe I missed it. A fractured femur!

0:17:33 > 0:17:34I could've practised my leg splints.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Do you think she'll let me sign her cast?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- I've always wanted to do that. - Where's Hank Zipzer?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41He'll be here in a minute. Shall I give him a message?

0:17:41 > 0:17:42Tell him I hate him!

0:17:42 > 0:17:46I've got to wear this ugly thing for three months - and I don't do ugly!

0:17:46 > 0:17:47This role was going to make me a star.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49I might need to write this down...

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Instead of going to Hollywood, I'm hobbling around on crutches!

0:17:52 > 0:17:54And it's all his fault!

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Didn't feel like the right moment.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Which of these fonts looks the best?

0:18:08 > 0:18:12Copperplate Gothic or Rockwell Extra Bold?

0:18:12 > 0:18:14I thought you were building the sets?!

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Yes, it's on my to-do list.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Tell me you've done more than just design the tickets?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Choosing the right font is very important.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23I have made 20 outfits

0:18:23 > 0:18:27and an elephant costume in the time it's taken you to do that!

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Well you may be happy doing a rush job,

0:18:29 > 0:18:31but some of us take pride in our work.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44(See the chips, Hank, see the chips.)

0:18:56 > 0:18:57I needed 28 for a B-plus.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00That meant no more than four red crosses.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04One...two...

0:19:04 > 0:19:05three...

0:19:07 > 0:19:09..four...

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Four wrong. B-plus.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Yes! I got a B-plus! A B-plus!

0:19:16 > 0:19:17And one mark off

0:19:17 > 0:19:20for not writing your full name and date in the upper right hand corner.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23- What?!- Minus five. B.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25You can't take a point off for that!

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I can, and I did.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31But that's not fair, Miss.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34He got a B-plus. You can't mark him down for the name and date!

0:19:34 > 0:19:39Miss Payne, may I remind you that I am teacher in this classroom?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42I set the rules and decide what is fair or not.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Rules must be followed if high standards are to be achieved.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48You of all people should know that.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Do you know what all these buttons do?

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Not a clue. I just press them and see what happens.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Aren't you worried you could mess up the whole production?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Not really.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04But you could ruin everything.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07You worry too much.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Thank you.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Thanks, Heather. I think I'm going to frame it.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18I'm sure it'll be the first of many.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19I dunno, you see...

0:20:19 > 0:20:22the problem with my brain is it just doesn't seem to remember anything.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Like my lines in the play.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28I could help you learn them. I know some good memory tricks.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33You can't cancel the play! We can find a new Anna.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34No, we're never going to find someone

0:20:34 > 0:20:37who can memorise the lines that quickly, I'm so sorry, Hank.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Heather could do it, she's got an amazing brain.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42I can't do it. I'd die of stage fright.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I'll help you with your nerves.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Maybe now we can get back to learning things that matter.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53I'll do it.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55But I thought you said you didn't want to be in a play

0:20:55 > 0:20:58because it got in the way of your studies?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I don't care about my studies.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02- I don't care what grade I get.- Oh!

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I don't want to be an A-star, I want to be a stage star.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08- I want to sing! I want to dance! - SHE GASPS

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Well, come on, kids, let's get back to rehearsal

0:21:11 > 0:21:16because we've got a play to put on. Huh?! Come on!

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Everybody, come here, huddle up.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26I want you to go out there and have a great time.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27Put on a great play.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29The band is ready, are you ready?

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Yeah.- Ready! - Here we go. One two, three!

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Here we go. All right, kids.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Ssh. And...

0:21:41 > 0:21:43APPLAUSE

0:21:43 > 0:21:45'I can't remember anything.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49'Stupid brain!

0:21:49 > 0:21:52'How can it do this to me now?'

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Your Majesty, it is such an honour to meet you.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59'I can't remember a single line! What am I going to do?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05'Come on, brain, help me out here!'

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Frankie...

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Welcome to Siam...

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Welcome to Siam, Miss Leonowens. Welcome to my kingdom.

0:22:16 > 0:22:17(Thank you.)

0:22:17 > 0:22:19(You're welcome.)

0:22:20 > 0:22:21'I can do this!'

0:22:24 > 0:22:28- 'NO!' - LAUGHTER

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Look, Mum. He's got the same pants as me!

0:22:36 > 0:22:40'Come on, brain, do something, quick, quick, quick!'

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Your highness, allow me to present you with this gift.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46I brought it all the way from my homeland.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50Thank you, Anna, for that elegant gift.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52It makes me feel like I want to dance.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Palace musicians, I command you to play.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57OK. One, two, three, four!

0:23:09 > 0:23:12It was a triumph - and I did it.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:23:28 > 0:23:30And that's how I became the king of Siam

0:23:30 > 0:23:33in the most successful play in the school's history.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45Ah! "School Play A Triumph!" Well done, Emily.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Very good.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50"Scandal of School Playing Fields Sell-off."

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Emily! Emily!

0:23:52 > 0:23:53Which is more powerful?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Fruit or vegetables?

0:23:55 > 0:23:56It's a joint project.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Zips here is going to wreck all your work.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01I might be a bit slow, but I think I can get the job done...

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Oops!

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Sorry, everyone, it's not my fault - it's just how my brain works.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Lost your new phone?- No.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11It's ringing.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13- What are we listening to? - Oh! Nothing.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15What has happened in here?

0:24:15 > 0:24:16What have you done?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18- I'm just doing what you told me to.- What?!

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- ROBOT VOICE:- Hello, Rosa. You have missed your hair appointment.
