Episode 4 Help! My Mini School Trip Is Magic

It's termtime again

and our four magicians have left school on a brand-new mission.

This time, we are taking unsuspecting kids out of school

and sending them on school trips.

They're off to visit some amazing locations where they'll

witness incredible magic.

And, once again, we are hiding secret cameras in every corner

so you don't miss a trick on any school trip.

How long will it take before the classes shout...

CHILDREN CHEER

This is Year 4 clambering on the coach.

They are off to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

To throw them off the scent, our magicians have to adopt

some clever disguises.

In my trick today, I'm hoping John doesn't interrupt me

because he does that a lot...

And I think you'll find that when you say I interrupt you...

-See?

-No...I thought there was a gap.

Interruption is a little clue as to what might happen later.

Incoming - this dog magic's going to be a treat.

-Good morning, boys and girls.

-Good morning.

-My name is Fiona Dacat, but you can call me Fee.

-What's her name?

Fee Dacat? That's just the beginning of our shaggy dog story.

This is my colleague, Sarah,

and her lovely dog, Maple, we've got here to join us today.

Her name really is Sarah and the dog is called Maple.

The other facts may well stray.

So, can anyone tell me, what do you think are the type of things

we need to do to look after dogs?

JOHN WHISTLES Any ideas?

Who are these dodgy-looking characters in the background?

Brush their hair, excellent, well done.

Er, excuse me, would you mind keeping it down a little bit, please?

I'm in the middle of something.

We've got to clean up a little bit. You're a bit late,

you should have been in earlier.

Actually, I think you'll find I'm right on time. Thank you.

Katherine needs to keep her hair on, as does John. Nice wig, mate.

As I was saying, children, this is how you groom a dog.

Keep your eyes on John and his kennel-cleaning colleague.

Wonderful. So, as you can see, all you do is take the brush like this

and you have to make sure you groom the dog in the direction of the hair.

Katherine's keeping up appearances with her dog-grooming chat

but John's a bit of a wag and he's got magic on his mind.

You'll notice Maple has long hair on her ears, can you see that?

So, sometimes ears can get matted if she gets taken out for some

exercise or to play, and it's very important...

John's whistling while he works - don't think Katherine's

strict character's going to put up with that for long.

-..just brush her ears like that.

-Excuse me, miss.

-Yes?

Yeah, I got a bit of a problem.

I've got to clean this dog bowl here and my colleague has fallen asleep.

I have to say, you're being quite a problem.

The class don't know what to make of this little set-to.

I was just wondering whether you could just come

-and keep an eye on her while I...

-All right.

-..clean the bowl.

I do apologise, children.

It's this one. She's stood on it and she's gone to sleep.

She's very sleepy, my partner, she sort of nods off like that.

Look at her, she's sparked out, can't do a thing about it.

She does appear to be asleep on that broomstick.

-..get a hold of that dog bowl, you see, and...

-Whoa!

John's buddy is levitating, the class can't believe it.

-Then what I can do, you see...

-They can't work it out.

There's nothing under her. Well, except John.

I can clean this bowl out, you see.

I mean, she can be like that for hours on end sometimes.

She's a lazy so-and-so, I'll tell you, she really is.

It's normally only witches that can fly on broomsticks.

They weren't expecting this. John's off his cleaning trolley.

-His partner's off the broom and the magic's off the hook.

-Oh!

You've done a lovely job, you really have, oh,

you've put a bit of weight on since Christmas.

Thank you very much, madam, that's lovely, thank you very much.

-You all right? You went spark out there.

-Can you believe that?

Katherine's been leading them on,

but she's about to let them in on the big secret.

Well, everyone, I have a confession to make.

My name isn't really Fee Dacat.

Actually, my name is Katherine and...

I'm John.

And we're magicians.

They did spot the dog, but they didn't spot Katherine

and all those hidden cameras.

And you've all been set up by your parents and your teachers

and you're all being filmed right now.

There's a camera over there, there's a camera over there

and there there's a camera over there

and you're going to be on CBBC's

Help! My School Trip Is Magic! CHILDREN CHEER

That trick on a broomstick was sick, but who let John out his cage?

I don't believe what I just saw.

John wanted Katherine to help him levitate his mate.

She's a lazy so-and-so, I'll tell you, she really is.

I thought I was dreaming. She was just in the air. In the air...

with no-one holding her.

The trick was certainly held in high esteem.

This school trip never saw it coming

and they'll never forget the time they shouted...
