0:00:03 > 0:00:06I was delighted when Jamillah was born.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09The seventh child is always a lucky child.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14Her big brothers adored her and she adored them.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20Her grandfather, Jiddo, told her magical stories,

0:00:20 > 0:00:22which is how she learned about me.

0:00:22 > 0:00:27Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who drew that? I'm way handsomer.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Jamillah grew up to be courageous.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33One rainy day,

0:00:33 > 0:00:37Jiddo sent her up to the attic to get a box from his trunk.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Boy, was she in for a surprise!

0:00:50 > 0:00:52If any genies are listening,

0:00:52 > 0:00:54could you give me a wish?

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Your wish is my command.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59SHE SCREAMS Ow!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Listen, don't go dropping the lamp again, OK?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07But... greetings, O wondrous one!

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Tell me your wish.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13I wish for...

0:01:13 > 0:01:15an...

0:01:15 > 0:01:16adventure.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05Oh!

0:02:10 > 0:02:13WHISTLING MUSIC

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh, Samir.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20- Ah, Jamillah, I didn't see you there.- Please, carry on.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22HE CONTINUES PLAYING

0:02:24 > 0:02:26SNAKE GENTLY HISSES

0:02:26 > 0:02:29What is that infernal racket?

0:02:29 > 0:02:35I should arrest you for assaulting my eardrums. Where is your licence?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I have it here somewhere.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Ah, here it is.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Hmm.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Not quite sure you still deserve this.

0:02:44 > 0:02:50I don't think I've ever seen you produce a snake from that basket.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52That's not Samir's fault.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54His snake is...

0:02:57 > 0:02:58..sluggish.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Hogwash!

0:03:00 > 0:03:05A licensed snake-charmer must be able to charm a snake.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Bring your things to the palace garden this afternoon.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11You shall perform before the Sultan,

0:03:11 > 0:03:17and either produce a snake or lose your licence.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Understood?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28This is terrible, Jamillah.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31I depend on my income from snake-charming.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35- If I can't make money here, I'll have to leave.- Leave Baghdad?

0:03:35 > 0:03:36You can't!

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Let's go find Genie.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46HE GASPS

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Um, uh...

0:03:48 > 0:03:50I... I can't abide snakes.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55Cleopatra used to wear one on her head. I couldn't even look at her.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Can you do a charm to make the snake come out?

0:03:57 > 0:04:01My supernatural skills versus a sluggish snake?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Of course.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Dangle it over the basket and Samir's snake will appear.- OK.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Just slowly swing it back and forth over the basket.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- OK.- Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick...

0:04:23 > 0:04:27So, uh... That's great that it works.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30It seems like you've got this, so I'll just be off.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33I have a...fabulous banquet to go to.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45If you can do this in front of the Sultan,

0:04:45 > 0:04:48you'll keep your licence for sure.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Ah, Samir.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Who's the boy?- My assistant...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- should the snake escape.- Hmm.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01You should be so lucky.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03All right, Samir.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Play away. Dazzle us with your skill.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Oh, no.

0:05:23 > 0:05:30Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

0:05:32 > 0:05:33What are you doing?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oh, I was just....

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Checking the snake.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Your snake looks half-asleep.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Clearly there's some monkey business afoot.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49You've no business calling yourself a snake-charmer.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Your licence is hereby revoked. - Oh, no, no, no.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56No, please, your Highness, one more try. I can do better.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01But I have to agree, a snake-charmer should be able to charm a snake.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03VIZIER CLICKS HIS FINGERS

0:06:03 > 0:06:07No! No, no. One more try, please. Oh, no!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09- No!- Please! No!

0:06:09 > 0:06:10No!

0:06:10 > 0:06:12No.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Genie!

0:06:19 > 0:06:24I am here and I obey, even though we just started the pasta course.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Sorry to ruin your fun, but it didn't work.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29The Vizier saw the charm.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Go!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37He's revoked my licence.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39I'll have to go live with my sister.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Not to worry, a certified genie-us is on the case.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Who? Where?

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Me. Let's put our heads together and figure this out.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03GENIE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:07:04 > 0:07:08I understand that you are the Grand Vizier of Baghdad.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Allow me to present my card.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Introducing Majid the Magnificent, from the city of Lagash,

0:07:17 > 0:07:22world-renowned sorcerer and talent scout. Delighted to meet you.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Impressive. How can I help you?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'm looking for a famous charmer.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33I've heard that he can conjure anything from his basket -

0:07:33 > 0:07:35dancers, elephants, a rainbow.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39His name is... Sam...

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Sam...- You can't mean Samir.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45That's it. Samir.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I will be honest with you.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53I'm hoping to persuade him to relocate to Lagash.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Our Prince is anxious to secure his services.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59VIZIER CHUCKLES

0:07:59 > 0:08:02You, sir, have been misinformed.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06He can't produce a snake let alone a rainbow.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Nonetheless, I'd like to meet him.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10I have come a long way.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Of course. Follow me.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Just follow Genie's lead.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- He'll show you what to do. - There he is.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24This is the man you seek, Samir.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Your fame has spread far and wide.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Well, thank you.- And yet the Vizier says that you have no talent,

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- but I'm sure that cannot be true. - It's not.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Perhaps a small demonstration.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40The Prince of Lagash is keen to be your sponsor.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- With pleasure.- Wonderful. This shall be a sight to see.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Yes, I'm sure it will.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Wakey, snaky. Snaky...

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Wakey, snaky.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Come on.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Apologies, your Highness.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Samir has come for his basket.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Oh, yes, yes, of course.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Of course.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06But first, the great Majid...

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Magnificent Majid.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13..would like to see Samir at work.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oh. Be my guest.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27SAMIR BEGINS TO PLAY

0:09:30 > 0:09:31This may take a while.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Hours, days perhaps.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Who knows?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Altravazar baruka shimazar.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49On my honour!

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Look at this.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Fala-fel altrazar.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Kumaneesha keerami.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Oh!

0:10:00 > 0:10:02SNAKE HISSES

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Oh-er!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16FIREWORKS EXPLODE

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Genie is rocking it!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Magnificent!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, yes. Bravo!

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Bravo!

0:10:49 > 0:10:53The city of Lagash will celebrate your birth every day of the year.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Indeed. Wait a minute. What? - Samir is moving.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00The Prince of Lagash requires his services.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02No, I forbid it.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Samir...

0:11:07 > 0:11:13You were born in Baghdad, and in Baghdad, you shall stay.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15With pleasure, Your Highness.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17With pleasure.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21JAMILLAH GIGGLES

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Did you see the Vizier's face? I thought his eyes

0:11:25 > 0:11:29- were going to pop out of his head. - Yeah.- It was a wonderful show.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31You two make a great double act.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34You should set up a stall at the market and do it every day.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38It's better we leave such fireworks for special occasions.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Maybe the next party or banquet.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Banquet! Oh, I completely forgot!

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- I told them I would be right back! - Well, go. Have fun.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah. Bring back some cake.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Your wish is my command.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Do you ever stop eating?

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Nope. That's why I'm so big and strong.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00Yeah.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Strong(!) You couldn't wrestle a chicken!

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Now that Samir was back to his snake-charming ways,

0:12:08 > 0:12:11it was time for Jamillah to go.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14It was nice to get home and see her family,

0:12:14 > 0:12:18but Jamillah couldn't wait for her next adventure with Aladdin

0:12:18 > 0:12:21and me, her brilliant genie.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25# So what is your wish?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27# Say, O wondrous one

0:12:29 > 0:12:32# Just don't rock my lamp

0:13:06 > 0:13:08# She's a scamp

0:13:08 > 0:13:09# I'm the genie

0:13:09 > 0:13:11# From the lamp

0:13:11 > 0:13:13# That's Aladdin

0:13:13 > 0:13:15# He's our lad

0:13:15 > 0:13:18# In old Baghdad

0:13:18 > 0:13:20# She's Jamillah

0:13:41 > 0:13:43# Put to the test

0:13:43 > 0:13:45# Fired rainbows

0:13:45 > 0:13:47# The Sultan was impressed
