Spy Marrying Mum and Dad

This is Marrying Mum And Dad.

Where the kids take charge of organising their parents' weddings.

That means you're in charge.

You can do whatever you want.

Check this out!

Mum and Dad have no idea what you're planning.

You've only got a few weeks to do it all.

-KIDS:

-Helicopter time!

Are you ready for it? Whoo!

Oh, we've got a DeLorean!

Are your parents ready for it?

ALL: Yeah!

Pretty scary!

Will the day be filled with chaos?

ALL GASP

Or confetti?

'On today's show we've got three wedding planners

'working in top secret to pull off the ultimate big day.'

-Hai-ya! Hai-ya!

-Uh-uh!

But could their surprises be too much for their parents?

Oh, no!

And will the day turn out to be a real Thriller...?

-Good luck.

-We're going to be watching you the whole way.

..Or have they taken on Mission: Impossible?

ALARM BELLS RING

-We're about to find out.

-Because we're Marrying Mum And Dad.

BRIDAL MARCH PLAYS

ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

Welcome to Marrying Mum And Dad -

the show where you get to organise one of the most important

days of your parents' lives - their wedding day!

I've just got to stop you there, Naomi.

It's not Marrying Mum And Dad today, it's Dad and Dad.

OK, but the kids are still in charge of organising

one of the most special days of their parents' lives?

-Yes.

-And the lucky parents still won't know a thing about what's

being planned until the big day arrives.

-Yes.

-And we've only got a few weeks to get everything in place?

-Yes.

-So we should probably be getting on with it, then?

Er...yes!

We probably should. Let's go!

Today we're in Warwickshire with three civil partnerships

planners who can't wait to crack open a safe full of ideas.

Meet Callum, Chloe and Paula...

I'm 13 and I like singing and talking.

I'm 13 too and I like dancing.

I'm 11 and I love being in this family even when it's noisy!

Dad's coming on!

The kids live with their two dads, Mark and Paul.

Our dads are fun, exciting and caring.

The family came together when Dad Mark and Dad Paul adopted the kids -

first, twins Callum and Chloe

and, two years later, Paula.

We've been really fortunate, you know, with the children.

-They're fantastic kids.

-Yeah.

They make our dinner, they clean our clothes, they look after us.

It's nice to be part of this family because everyone is special.

Dad Mark and Dad Paul have been together for 19 years

and the kids now think the time has come to make things official

by organising a civil partnership -

the ceremony that two men or two women have in place of a wedding.

We've always wanted it with our children being part of the process

and being involved with that.

But there's just one catch - putting the kids in control

means this won't be a normal civil partnership.

With the children planning the civil partnership for my dads,

it's going to be exciting, fun

and just really lively.

Sound good, Dad and Dad?

Not knowing what's going on is the worst part.

It could be something absolutely horrible or

it could be something amazing.

They'll find out soon enough, eh, Naomi?

Exactly.

Dad Paul and Dad Mark won't know what's hit them!

Dad Mark and Dad Paul have given us so much.

This is our chance to do something for them.

This is going to be the best civil partnership ever.

With just two weeks until the big day,

-we need to put these plans into action.

-Yes, we need a theme.

-Transport.

-A venue.

-Entertainment.

-Outfits.

-And a cake.

Oh, cake!

Come on!

With just a few weeks until the big day, it's time to hand over control.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to mix things up a bit.

Do you, Dad Mark, allow your children to completely

and utterly organise a civil partnership you will never forget?

I do.

And do you, Dad Paul,

accept you will have absolutely no say in what goes on?

I do.

Then, with the joining of hands, I now pronounce you,

Chloe, Paula and Callum, officially 100% in charge!

CHEERING

Dad Mark and Dad Paul are out of the way,

it's time to find out the kids' big idea.

Right, so we've got rid of your dads.

Now we can find out what the theme is.

It's spy themed!

-Oh!

-Whoo!

-Yes, that's excellent!

Why spies?

Because it's a children's thing and an adults' thing.

-Yeah, yeah.

-And our dad likes spy films.

That is going to be cool.

Yeah, yeah, James Bond,

-Mission: Impossible...

-Code words.

-Spy Kids.

Secret missions. That is a good theme.

Guys, mission accepted.

Theme sorted - we're going

deep undercover for

the ultimate spy celebration.

'Callum, Chloe and Paula have their theme,

'but with just a few weeks to go before the big day,

'we've brought them to a secret location

'to get the lowdown on what spying is all about.'

Anyone you know could be a spy - that's the thing.

They do all their work in secret. It's their job to discover

what other people and other countries are doing.

This shadowy world has inspired some of Hollywood's biggest action

heroes like James Bond...

and Mission: Impossible's Ethan Hunt.

Now it's Callum, Chloe and Paula's turn

to show they've got what it takes to be super-sleuths

here at Spy School.

I'm Agent Mike and today you're going to find out what

it's like to be real spies.

Your first task...

a code-breaking challenge.

'The kids have been given their first secret agent challenge -

'but they'll need an evil genius to spy on.'

I shall be Dr Nee-Ha-Ha!

THEY LAUGH

I'd better get into character.

This I have got to see!

Nee-ha-ha!

They will never defeat my device.

In this code-breaking challenge,

the guys must crack the cryptic clues to unplug the right wires,

and disarm Dr Nee-Ha-Ha's box of doom

before time runs out.

Unplug the black, but not first or last.

We've got one minute left, just over a minute left.

MUSIC: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE THEME

CHEERING

Challenge one done, but Dr Nee-Ha-Ha isn't done yet.

Nee-ha-ha!

The second challenge tests

our secret agent's powers of observation,

another vital spy skill.

I can see that camera thing there.

-That...

-The black thing...

-Once again they succeed.

-Yay!

Good observational skills, you've found all ten items.

-Yes!

-Well done.

On to Dr Nee-Ha-Ha's final test.

Let's see how they cope with my Laser Room!

Nee-ha-ha! Ow!

'They have to retrieve a case from a room

'booby-trapped with laser alarms.'

Stay low! Stay low!

Good job our new recruits are more than up to the task.

-Oh, yes! Come on!

-Best secret agent in the world.

-Thank you.

Congratulations.

Oh, NO-ha-ha!

Now that Callum, Chloe and Paula

have succeeded in their spy training,

have they been "in-SPY-ired"?

'Oh, dear.'

-Hey, Ed, you can come out of character now.

-Oh, can I?

-Yes.

-Oh, excellent.

-Some excellent spy experiences there, guys.

Has it given you any ideas for the big day?

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-A lot. I'd like to include the laser thing.

What about the venue?

What sort of building are you imagining?

A mansion.

One of those places that a spy stays

-when he's trying to suss out the baddies.

-Mm-hm.

How are you going to entertain people when they're in the venue?

I'll sing!

Any thoughts on what you might sing?

Hmm...

-Skyfall.

-Yeah, good idea.

Adele's James Bond theme, Skyfall - what a great spy track.

Some of Music's biggest stars, like Madonna and Alicia Keys,

have sung Bond songs...

..but these guys have even bigger plans.

Is there anything else you want them to do?

Skydiving.

-Skydiving?

-What?! That's how you want to get your dads to the venue?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-You want them to jump out of an aeroplane?! ALL:

-Yeah.

The only thing I probably wouldn't like would be, like,

diving off a high board.

Is that right, Dad Paul?

You might wish you were diving off a high board -

because your kids want you to dive out of an aeroplane.

If we can get all this together,

-that is going to be epic.

-Yeah.

'First up, the kids are tackling transport for the big day.

'They want their dads to skydive to the ceremony.

'To see how that would feel, we've come for test drive...

'or should I say test dive?'

That'll be you in a minute!

'This indoor dive centre uses four giant fans to blast

'1,000 horsepower's worth of air from the bottom of a chamber,

'recreating the feeling of plummeting to Earth

'at 120 miles an hour.'

Wow!

Are we still up for this?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

No going back now - it's time to jump!

'Well, I couldn't miss out on the fun, could I?'

-Are you sure you still want to do this to your dads?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

They're going to arrive for their ceremony covered in spit,

-their hair everywhere...

-ALL:

-Yeah!

You're absolutely sure?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

That's transport sorted.

Dad Mark and Dad Paul,

you have no idea!

'For the venue on the big day

'our planners are looking for a classic secret agent hangout.'

What do you think of this?

-Whoa!

-Wow!

-It's beautiful.

-Would you like to see it a bit closer up?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Whoo! Oh, yeah! Come on!

'Spies love glamorous locations...

'and with more than 30 rooms,

'this country mansion is exactly the sort of impressive place

'a secret organisation could use as its headquarters.'

-Wow!

-Whoa!

Amazing!

What do you think about it?

It's big.

Could you imagine a spy hanging out here before dinner?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

'Outside, there's even a marquee where our secret agents

'can bust some top secret moves.'

We can dance on it now!

I've got no idea how spies dance.

I think we've chosen our venue, though.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Venue sorted.

'Callum, Chloe and Paula are halfway through planning

'their dads' civil partnership, but they've got just a few weeks

'to organise what would normally take months,

'so they've got their work cut out.

CHEERING

'They've chosen a theme...'

It's spy themed.

Oh!

'..a spy HQ venue...

'..and planned for their dads to skydive to the ceremony.

'But there's still loads to do!

'Next up, the cake.'

Our planners have been working hard on a spy-themed cake design,

and sent off their plans to a cake-maker.

'But with time running out,

'they need to check its progress with Sarah the baker

'and roll up their own sleeves to get it finished.'

-I've seen here that you've got some spy pencils...

-Yeah.

-..which I really need someone to make today for me.

-OK.

I love that idea. Also, I need someone to make the briefcase.

There's a lot to do, we'd better get on with it.

OK. Yeah.

'The guys want the cake to have the ultimate spy factor,

'so their next mission is creating the accessories they designed

'to put on the cake.

'And for the final decoration - the sort of stand

'that every secret agent cake should be served on...'

Ta-da! Check this out!

-ALL:

-Wow!

'Yes, you guessed it -

'a safe!'

Wow!

Looks like this cake should be well safe.

Stop it!

'Dad Mark and Dad Paul need spy outfits -

'but which ones?

'Time for another mission.'

If your dads are going to look like spies,

they've got to dress like spies

and it's up to you to choose their outfits.

Do you accept your mission?

-ALL:

-Yes, sir!

Right. I'm coming back with the first outfit.

'Option one - action spy!'

Hai-ya! Hai-ya!

THEY LAUGH

Uh-uh!

OK, fair enough. Loads more to choose from.

'Option two - incognito spy.'

THEY LAUGH

I think I have what you're looking for.

I like the costumes, but I don't think it would suit our dads.

'Option three - James Bond style.'

MUSIC: JAMES BOND THEME

The name's Petrie...

Ed Petrie.

This is the one.

We'll have two of those, please.

Two 007 dads.

It looks like we've got out outfits sorted.

Job done -

outfit mission accomplished.

'For the entertainment on their dads' big day,

'Callum, Chloe and Paula want to keep the spy theme going

'when they perform a song.'

Right, so you guys have already told us that you would like to sing

Skyfall at the ceremony because you love your Bond films and everything.

Have you been rehearsing?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Good. May I have a listen? ALL:

-Yes.

I'll press play on the music.

MUSIC: "Skyfall" by Adele

-CALLUM:

-# Swept away

# I'm stolen...

ALL: # Let the sky fall

# When it crumbles

# We will stand tall

# Face it all together

# At Skyfall. #

Oh, you guys! That sounds amazing!

Do you think there is anyway we can make this any bigger

-for the big day?

-A band.

I think that might work really well.

-Shall we have a look online and see if we can find one?

-Yes, please!

Type into the search...

'A backing band is a great idea, but, at such short notice,

'there's no guarantee we'll find one.'

Hello, the Bomb Band.

Would you and your band be able to accompany me,

Paula and Chloe singing this Saturday?

Yeah, I think that's going to be OK.

What did you want us to play for you?

-Skyfall.

-OK.

CHEERING

Entertainment sorted.

I can't wait to see them perform.

Callum, Chloe and Paula are now ready to deliver a day

like no other for their dads' civil partnership.

From code cracking to super skydiving...

Wow!

..thrilling threads...

This is the one.

..to secret agent songs, the kids have worked flat out

to make their plans a reality.

The invitations have gone out, the guests are coming,

there's no going back now.

But what do Dad Mark and Dad Paul

think about walking up the aisle,

without knowing any of the secret plans?

Excited. I'm feeling really excited

and very nervous that you,

you little monster, have been organising everything.

How nervous are you that tomorrow is going to be your civil partnership?

Just a little bit.

'Bet you'll be even more nervous when you're in that plane!'

It's the day before the civil partnership.

At a guesthouse near the top secret venue,

our planners are reflecting on why this is so important.

They saved us from, like...

being really unhappy...

scared, lonely...

and they've just given us a really good life, so...

we're giving them what they've wanted for years.

-It's time to make their dream come true.

-Yeah.

In the next room, Dad Mark and Dad Paul

are still completely in the dark about the plans.

The kids are still really, really secretive.

They've not let anything...

um, pass their lips, so to speak. Um, but it's, er...

-we're OK.

-A few butterflies.

A FEW butterflies?!

Will they be as cool when this is their view tomorrow?

We're about to find out.

Dad Mark and Dad Paul's big day is finally here

and I am dressed for the occasion.

Will we hit the target? Will we crack the code?

Will Mission: Impossible become...

possible?

And, most crucially,

will our two dads jump 4,000 metres out of a plane in just a few hours?

HE GROANS

'First, we need Dad Mark and Dad Paul to look like spies.

'It's time to deliver the outfits.'

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-So it's your big day!

-Whoo!

I have...

-your outfits.

-Wow.

You're going to be blindfolded as someone helps you get into these.

-You're not going to see what you're wearing just yet.

-Thank you.

-But remember - no peeking.

-OK.

'Meanwhile, at the spy HQ venue,

'I'm keeping a close eye on the top secret preparations.'

-MI HIGH chairs.

-'I said stop it!'

Maximum security,

no-one's getting in without an invite.

Over at the guesthouse, we have three secret agents

who can't wait to get started.

Guys, you look awesome!

I love it! You just look too cool. Show me your best spy poses.

Do you think we're ready to get your dads out

and show them what they look like?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Stand by the mirrors. I'll go and get them.

As Dad Mark and Dad Paul are led in

will the kids' spy wedding leave them feeling shaken or stirred?

One, two, three!

Wow!

CHEERING

Cool!

Any guesses on the theme?

Spies?

Yes! Correct!

-Correct, well guessed. Yes.

-Oh, cool.

BOND THEME TRUMPET BLARES

Spy uniforms successfully issued.

It's time to put these secret agents to work.

-We would like you to watch this and pay close attention.

-OK.

Dad Paul, Dad Mark,

this is Dr Nee-Ha-Ha!

You must make your way to your civil partnership venue.

Hmm. Sounds easy?

Well, it's not! Hah! Cos your children don't want it to be!

Your mission starts by you opening the silver suitcase next to you.

You have one minute to complete the code.

-You can do it! Come on!

-Red. Red. Yellow.

-Come on, you can do it!

There's no pressure, but we did this very quickly, didn't we?

-Yeah, no pressure(!)

-Are you sure?

-No, no!

-It's wrong?

Don't do it, Dad!

CHEERING

-Oh, phew! Congratulations.

-Yeah, thanks.

With their spy transport waiting, our new recruits' mission continues.

Dad Mark, Dad Paul, this is your vehicle. Please get in.

Kids, you're in this one with me. Let's go.

Remember, agents Dad and Dad have no idea where they're being taken.

Nervous, I think, is the best way of saying what it feels like.

As they arrive at the airfield,

it looks like the penny might have dropped.

-Skydiving Centre?

-Yeah, thanks for that.

-Yeah, thank you.

They're having a laugh!

Oh, no!

Time to confirm their suspicions.

ALL: Parachuting!

HEARTBEATS

Jumping from height? Not good for Dad Paul.

The only thing I probably wouldn't like would be, like,

diving off a high board.

-Are you up for it?

-We'll have a go.

-Give it a go.

As long as he goes first.

ALL LAUGH

Is that nervous laughter by any chance?

-I feel so guilty now.

-You feel so guilty now? Good!

-I'm hoping that they are going to like it.

-Yeah.

Cos they were like, "Oh, I don't want to do it!"

Yeah, they weren't sure.

They weren't sure.

-Good luck, Dad!

-We're going to be watching you the whole way.

Dad Mark and Dad Paul are now 4,000 metres up in the air.

'With Callum, Chloe, Paula

'and the civil partnership guests waiting for them,

'it's now or never.'

They've done it!

CHEERING

CHEERING

APPLAUSE

Our super-spies are safely back to Earth.

What was it like when you left the plane?

-I had my eyes closed.

-Did you?!

It was amazing!

I'm relieved now!

Now that Dad Mark and Dad Paul

have completed the skydiving challenge,

it's time for the next phase of this special operation.

Come with us.

-To your right, gentlemen - your venue.

-Wow!

THEY LAUGH

Before you can get hitched, you have to cross the Laser Room.

-We'll be waiting for you on the other side.

-Good luck.

If you can't do it...

you can't have your civil partnership.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

The challenge is on!

Agents Dad and Dad will need to cross the fiendish Laser Lair

if they want to make it to the Ceremony Room.

Next door, the kids and the rest of the guests

are looking on via infrared camera.

-Shall we go under there?

-Under there...

Cross the room successfully and the civil partnership ceremony is on.

Trip the alarm more than three times and you might never get there.

Oh, no.

ALARM BELLS RING

Just two lives left.

Can Dad Mark and Dad Paul pull off Mission: Impossible?

CHEERING

ALL CHANT: Come on! Come on!

They've done it!

After code cracking, skydiving and laser dodging, it's finally

time for Dad Mark and Dad Paul's civil partnership ceremony.

CHEERING

-I, Paul.

-I, Paul.

-Take you, Mark.

-Take you, Mark.

-As my civil partner.

-As my civil partner.

And do you, Mark, take Paul to be your equal civil partner?

I do.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-After 19 years, we've actually finally done it.

-I know.

We've been talking about it for years and we're finally here, so...

-Yeah.

-It's really good.

-It's perfect. Absolutely perfect.

It was AMAZING!

-It was exciting as well.

-Yeah.

It was nice to see our dads get together like that.

MUSIC: JAMES BOND THEME

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

With Dad and Dad happily hitched, it's party time and another surprise!

It's time to reveal your spy cake as designed by Agent C, Agent P

and Agent Mini-Meister!

ALL: WOW!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I've got hair for the first time in 20 years.

THEY LAUGH

That's nice of them, isn't it?

To wrap up the day,

the kids still have a very special performance left.

Take it away, 007 style!

INTRO TO "Skyfall" by Adele

# This is the end

# Hold your breath and count to ten...#

'The day almost over, it's time to find out

'whether this mission has been a success.'

# Hear my heart... #

'I think everyone thought it was really, really nice

'to hear Dad Mark and Dad Paul's vows and I think everyone'

got a little bit tearful at the end!

ALL: # Let the sky fall

# When it crumbles

# We will stand tall... #

-Best venue.

-Yeah, brilliant place.

-Perfect day.

-Yeah.

# ..together, let the sky fall... #

I feel really happy because...

it's the best day ever.

# Face it all together

# At Skyfall... #

I can't believe they've managed to organise all this in three weeks.

Yeah, it's amazing what they've come up with.

They've done us very, very proud.

# Let the sky fall... #

-CHLOE:

-'The best bit was seeing their faces'

and how much they enjoyed today.

# Skyfall... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Not a dry eye in the house.

Yes! We pulled it all off.

Code cracking, skydiving, laser dodging -

in your face, Dr Nee-Ha-Ha!

Argh! How did this happen?

-Callum, Chloe and Paula have had a good time!

-Yeah.

-NO-ha-ha!

Mission accomplished.
