UFO Marrying Mum and Dad

-Marrying Mum And Dad is back!

-CHEERING

Ooh! Say goodbye to boring, traditional ceremonies.

And hello to crazy, action-packed weddings.

CHEERING

But with only four weeks, can they pull it off?

Put your back into it.

It's the only show that puts kids

in charge of their parents' wedding day.

SCREAMING

Open your eyes!

THEY LAUGH

Bigger, better and more outrageous...

Than ever before! CHEERING

-This wedding was...

-Incredible, amazing and crazy!

On today's spectacular show...

SHE SHRIEKS A down-to-earth wedding...

With an out-of-this-world twist.

I now pronounce the kids, officially, 100% in charge!

For the first time ever on Marrying Mum And Dad,

the kids prank their parents with a fake wedding theme.

Uh-oh, doesn't sound like a tractor to me.

Aliens, space ships, chickens...

-How are they going to pull this one off?

-We're about to find out.

Because we're...

-ALL:

-Marrying Mum And Dad!

-THEY CHEER

Welcome to Marrying Mum And Dad,

the only show where you get to organise your parents' wedding!

Yes, you lot at home. Scary, huh? You are in complete control.

-What you say goes.

-Yeah, whether the grown-ups like it or not.

Yeah, take that, grown-ups!

THEY BLOW RASPBERRIES

Today, we are in the Southeast of England, where we have two

youngsters planning a wedding where the sky's the limit.

Meet seven-year-old Hattie.

She is funny

-and she always makes me smile.

-SHE LAUGHS

And nine-year-old Bertie.

He is very, very clever and he is kind.

-Yeah!

-CLUCKING

The kids live with their two mums, Tor...

Think, every time we wouldn't let them have a treat, every time

we wouldn't let them play on a computer game,

revenge is now.

And Jackie.

I'm amazed and really disturbed at how good they are

at keeping a secret.

-Completing the family is their little brother...

-I'm here.

..who is too young

to plan a wedding.

But fear not, because Hattie and Bertie can cause

enough trouble as it is.

When they find out what this wedding is really about,

-they are going to do this...

-SHRIEKING

Jackie and Tor have been together 14 years and already have

a civil partnership, but they want to convert it into a marriage.

Marriage is really significant because we had a civil partnership

shortly after Bertie was born and we were not allowed

to legally get married back then,

so it is quite a massive step for us to get married.

Massive step for you guys?

We've only got four weeks to plan your big day!

And these two crafty wedding planners have

a theme that's out-of-this-world.

-BOTH:

-We love space.

The solar system is massive.

Who knows what sorts of alien life could be out there.

-BOTH:

-That's why our wedding theme is...

-U.

-F.

-O!

UFOs are strange lights in the sky, unidentified flying objects.

Some people even claim to have been

beamed aboard alien spaceships. MOOING

And if there is evidence of alien life forms,

-the government is keeping it...

-Top secret. Got that?

-So the wedding outfits are...

-Classified.

-The transport is...

-Redacted.

In fact, the details of this entire top-secret UFO wedding are...

Strictly on a need-to-know basis, citizen!

So keep watching the skies. EERIE MUSIC PLAYS

-RECORD SCREECHES

-Don't tell anyone, basically.

MUSIC: Intergalactic by Beastie Boys

To pull off a sneaky, double-reveal, intergalactic wedding like this,

the kids are going to need all the help they can get,

in the form of the Marrying Mum And Dad mobile HQ.

Hattie and Bertie are about to get their first sighting of a UDO,

an unidentified driving object.

LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

Look at that!

-We've got a mobile HQ!

-Oh, yeah!

They want a full-on alien UFO incident for their mums,

and they fill me in on their secret switcheroo plan.

They are supposed to have no idea

that it's going to be an alien wedding.

-OK.

-And we are going to dress them in, like...

-Farmers.

-Can you imagine them looking something like that?

-Yeah.

-So, these are the fake wedding outfits.

-Mm-hm.

'This is a Marrying Mum And Dad first.'

Bertie and Hattie want to trick their mums into thinking

they are having a farmyard wedding,

but then surprise them with the true theme later in the day.

They are going to drive in a tractor.

So, they are on a tractor thinking they're going to go milk some cows?

Then, whilst they are driving along in the tractor,

they see a crashed spaceship.

The twists are coming thick and fast. Oh! This is a massive risk.

Then they see an alien.

This alien's been rumbled, spotted by these farmers. What does it do?

-They go up into the mother ship.

-Oh, OK. There's an even bigger...

-Yeah.

-..spaceship. So, this is like the bottom of the mothership here.

-Mm-hm.

-I don't know where we are going to get a mothership from.

'This is more like a Hollywood movie than a wedding!

'The kids must have been beamed up by aliens

'to come up with these ideas.'

-What happens when they get into the mothership?

-They turn into aliens.

Of course they do! They turn into aliens!

-This wedding day is going to last about a week.

-Yeah.

I'm exhausted just drawing it. Ugh!

Don't fall asleep, Ed, the aliens are coming!

The kids' search for an alien wedding venue

has brought them to RAF Bentwaters, once a high-security airbase.

-It's a bit creepy, isn't it?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

It's like an alien came down to here and destroyed everything.

You are not far off, Hattie.

This airbase was the scene of a famous UFO incident.

Whoa!

Back in 1956, jet fighter pilots from RAF Bentwaters described

chasing mysterious, glowing objects.

The UFOs travelled at thousands of miles per hour

before disappearing into the night sky.

There could be a UFO stashed here right now.

There might even be an alien around us.

-Should we go have a little more of a look?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

What's in one of those hangars over there?

Ooh!

'Nobody has ever solved the mystery of RAF Bentwaters.'

But will it be what the kids have in mind for their mums' big day?

-ED CHUCKLES

-It's cool, isn't it?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Didn't expect that.

-No.

What are you thinking would happen in here, then?

When they've got the spaceship working,

they're going to come down this tunnel and they're going to meet

-all their guests.

-Oh, so the guests will see them for the first time.

-Yeah.

-And they are dressed as aliens.

-The guests are going to wear, like, black sunglasses and...

-Tuxedos.

Yeah, tuxedos.

-Of course. They are like government agents, secret agents.

-Yeah.

RECORD SCREECHES Uh, hang on, kids.

What's your mum's perfect wedding venue?

My wedding venue is the Maldives. It's beautiful, it's stunning.

It's just lovely, peaceful, in the middle of the ocean.

Beautiful tropical island?

Ha! Nope.

You're getting married in a draughty hangar.

-Oh, yeah, we should definitely check this out.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

And instead of relaxing on the beach, the kids have come up with...

a galactic challenge.

-Oh, it's like a control room.

-Yeah!

This could be inside the alien spaceship.

And they have to try and get the control room working.

So you'll have to try and solve the puzzle to get back to Earth.

If we pull this off, this is going to be one of the most complicated

weddings we've ever done.

-There's so many different stories going on.

-Yeah.

-OK, let's go back to Earth, then.

-WHIRRING

Oh, no! Ahh! We're out of control!

Oh, I shouldn't have pressed that. Oh, no.

I'm so sorry! Ahh!

One mothership control room sorted. That's if Ed doesn't break it first.

Bertie and Hattie want to build a massive, Hollywood-style,

crashed spaceship to greet their mums on their wedding day.

So, they've got a radical idea.

They want to scrap the transport and introduce something straight

out of the movies.

'This is going to be the biggest prop in the history of

'Marrying Mum And Dad.

'So, it's back to the airbase to scavenge for spaceship parts.'

Oh, look at this!

That could be like that thing that sticks out of the side at the top.

-A tracker.

-Like a radar dish or something?

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

There's this thing there. That could be like the broken buttons and

-levers and stuff.

-Oh, yeah.

-This could be a window.

-Yeah, you found a flying saucer.

-This is a flying pan.

-THEY LAUGH

Ed, stop with the rubbish gags,

you've got a spaceship to build.

It's an alien tentacle! It's going to suck out Bertie's brain.

ED MAKES SUCKING NOISE

'We've been given the pick of any scrap here that we can safely

'use to build our ship, and it's an epic job.'

It's covered in green alien goo.

Can you hear me, guys, with my massive megaphone?!

-Oh, this is definitely a bit of alien technology, this.

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

We are on to you! The truth is out there!

Now the kids have scavenged their giant model spaceship

kit of parts...

..they can block out the shape on the floor.

Is this how big the spaceship is going to be?

-Yeah.

-Wow!

'They just need a responsible adult to fit it all together.

'So, that rules me out, obviously.'

-HATTIE LAUGHS

-Eyes!

Hattie and Bertie are well on their way to building the crashed

spaceship to start their alien adventure.

No matter how wild and out of this world the wedding is,

it still needs a cake.

What do you think your wedding cake is going to look like?

-Like one of these.

-Like a UFO?

-Yeah, but bigger.

-Way, way bigger.

-It's going to, like, fly in.

Right, so on the wedding day, pretend I'm the guests,

what are they going to see?

Going to see like...

Woohoo-hoo!

Right, yes, so we have got to figure how to get wedding cake

way up in the air!

The kids take me to a secret testing site

to work out how to make a cake fly.

So, we have our UFO cupcake,

we have one very hungry-looking alien over there,

how about we try and feed him?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Let's do it.

Flying test number one - the Frisbee technique.

Go!

THEY LAUGH

'Our flying cake has to be accurate,

'we don't want guests or aliens left with cake all over their face.'

-Or do we?

-'Ed!'

That went a lot further.

It's a messy no to Frisbees.

Flying cake test two...

-Let's try this.

-Ooh!

'Maybe fishing rods will help the cake fly.'

In his mouth, in his mouth!

Ha! These guys couldn't catch a cold.

-You are so close.

-Let alone fly a spaceship!

-Oh, no.

Oh, so frustrating.

'Right, so much for low-tech. Let's try a hi-tech drone.'

OK, then, Bertie, I know you are

a radio-controlled helicopter expert,

so let's see your skills on this.

OK.

SCREAMING

Too high!

-Oh, too low.

-Too low.

'It turns out flying a remote-controlled cake

'into an alien's mouth is trickier than we first thought.'

-Maybe Hattie is a secret piloting genius.

-Fly!

MOANING HAPPILY

Oh, no. Turns out she isn't.

Oh, dear. Yeah, maybe a bit lower.

Not that low.

Over there. Towards the alien.

'The remote-controlled flying cake idea is a risky one.

'But what do our wedding planners think?'

-You definitely want to fly a UFO cake into the wedding?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

You definitely want to do that? Even though he looks an absolute mess.

-Look at that alien. BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Yeah. You still want to do it.

-Yeah.

We are going to need a bigger drone.

And someone to fly it for us.

Uncontrollable flying object? Tick.

Let's just hope they can find a good pilot.

Even the outfits are a double bluff in this wedding.

The mums will start as farmers

before being transformed into aliens.

Ha-ha! They are going to look ridiculous.

Oh. I might have known who the guinea pig would be.

What colour are you making my face?

-Blue with green spots.

-Oh, right.

-How am I looking?

-Hideous.

Oh, I don't know, Ed, I always thought blue was your colour.

-Oh, what's this?

-A tentacle.

Oh! I've got a tentacle.

Oh, wow. Oh, I like that.

Sorry, Bertie. Don't blame me.

You're the one that gave me a tentacle.

A vision in blue and green,

is that really every bride's dream?

I would go for a big white dress,

and it would have some sparkles on it and some lace on it.

It would be really beautiful...

Well, I can confidently say

this will be nothing like your perfect wedding dress. Oh, well.

The alien is alive!

Aarggh!

Brand-new alien race created. Let's hope Jackie and Tor like tentacles.

Inspired by their venue, next the kids want to mix things up again.

This time, by ditching the entertainment and creating

a space-inspired challenge.

So, what's the plan? What do they have to do?

So, there's going to be, like, loads of buttons

and they have to try and to figure out how to make the buttons work

and get back to Earth.

To get some ideas, Hattie and Bertie have brought me to an escape room.

It's a real-life adventure experience where you have to

solve puzzles to escape.

Look, I'm handcuffed to the bars.

You guys have got to get me out.

Look, what's this?

It's like a code thing.

-Four numbers, we need to find.

-Yeah.

-Two numbers there.

-Two numbers there. Five, one.

Eight, seven, four...

There are hidden numbers everywhere.

Ah! Yes! SHE LAUGHS

Right, that's got me out of that bit.

'And Bertie and Hattie need to decipher them to get me out.'

-Maybe...

-Oh! THEY LAUGH

-Yay!

-Oh, we are free.

Don't get too excited, Naomi, you're not free yet.

More codes. What code should we start with?

Bertie and Hattie will have to create a whole alien control room

packed with puzzles, and this jail cell is full of inspiration.

I don't think that's a normal torch. I think it's like an ultraviolet.

-Yeah.

-I think you are absolutely right.

Let's shine it around, see if we can find any clues.

'The UV torch is a hi-tech way to reveal sneaky clues written

'in invisible ink.'

-BOTH:

-"Look for the circles."

Could UV puzzles work on an alien spaceship?

-I think I saw something there.

-Oh, yes. What's that?

Oh, it's a code.

'After nearly an hour of fiendish puzzle solving...'

-Oh, keys!

-Keys, keys.

Can we can get out the door? See if we can get out the door.

-'..we make our escape.'

-Yes!

Are we free? We're free, we're free. Quick, go, go, go. Quick.

'Loads of ideas for alien control room puzzles.'

But if the mums can't solve them on the day,

they'll miss their own ceremony.

So, that's it. In just a few weeks, Hattie and Bertie have created

a whole UFO adventure with one massive double bluff.

-We're going to dress them in like...

-Farmers.

-They've got crashed spaceships...

-And alien transformations.

Jackie and Tor have no idea what's in store and have resorted to

trying to tickle the plans out of the kids.

-JACKIE:

-'Tell me what the wedding is.'

-No.

-'Tell me.'

-HE LAUGHS

Give it up, Mums!

Not even Hattie and Bertie's best mates are in on the secret.

-ALL:

-We're so excited about the wedding!

Earth, a small, blue planet

where a very big wedding day has finally arrived.

Hattie and Bertie's crashed alien spaceship has been built

and is nearly ready to be discovered by the unsuspecting mums.

I'm a bit worried in terms of thinking about what I'm dressed in.

SHE LAUGHS

I don't know where I am or what's going to happen,

and, yeah, that's pretty scary.

You're scared, Tor?

We're about to attempt the wedding double-cross of the century,

and I'm dressed as an alien!

And me and the kids are...

-HE MOOS

-..farmyard animals.

-To infinity!

-And the farmhouse.

So, will the mums fall for the fake farm reveal,

even with me dropping some subtle hints?

Don't blow it, Ed.

It's literally seconds until you can LIFT OFF your hands, OK?

Let's start the countdown. Five, four, three, two, one!

THEY LAUGH

What do you kids look like?!

Well, it's everything I ever dreamed of, thank you.

Well, I never thought it would be this.

What do you think of your ultra farm-y overalls?

-No, they haven't got a clue.

-Wow.

This is all fake and the real wedding theme

is still to be revealed.

So, can you guess the theme?

-Is it farmyard?

-Yeah?

Right, shall we get MOO-ving?

Do your best chicken walk out, Bertie. Come on.

Success!

Alien incident underway and the mums really do think it's a farm wedding.

'They are so gullible!'

It's your ultra high-tech wedding transport!

MUMS LAUGH

-Excellent.

-Yeah?

-Good, thank you.

-Nice tractor.

-It's beautiful.

Time to board farmer Bill's tractor and meet the alien....

Oh, I mean, milk the cows.

'I'm really thrilled with the theme. I think the kids look gorgeous,

'cute little piglet,'

gorgeous little chicken

and, yeah, I'm dying to see what

the rest of the day has got in store and a bit scared still.

'So you should be, Tor.

'The mums have no idea what's in store and I'm loving it!'

-Enjoying yourselves?

-Yeah.

-Oh, yeah.

Not what you were expecting, is it?

Not quite, no.

-ALL:

-# Old MacDonald had a farm

# E-I-E-I-O... #

I can hear them coming! Better get into position.

# E-I-E-I-O

# And on that farm he had a... #

Crashed flying saucer?

What's that?

Look, it's the...

-It's an alien spaceship.

-It's a UFO.

-Think we should investigate?

-Want to go down and have a look?

-Well...

-Maybe. Yeah, go one, then.

-Should we?

-I trusted you two.

I thought it was a peaceful farm wedding.

This is getting stranger.

-Is there anything in there?

-THEY GASP AND SHRIEK

THEY LAUGH

'The cat's truly out of the bag.'

'Or should that be the alien's tentacle out of the port hole?'

Can you guess what the theme is?

Well, we thought the theme was farms cos that's what you said.

Yeah, we believed you.

-But now I'm thinking it's aliens.

-Guys?

UFOs.

-UFOs?

-Whoa!

-OK.

THEY LAUGH

-RUMBLING

-Uh-oh!

What's that rumbling sound?

It doesn't sound like a tractor to me.

THEY SCREAM

What's that in the sky?

Oh, no!

SHE SQUEAKS

'With a little help from TV magic,

'the mums are beamed aboard the mothership.'

THEY SCREAM

By tractor beam. Get it?

Arggh! Arggh... Oh.

'Time to reveal my true identity as top-secret government agent Ed.

'Mission - to get the mums back in time for the wedding.'

Oi! No, stop.

But what about the more intelligent life forms?

High above planet Earth, in the control room

the kids have kitted out as the mothership,

the true wedding outfits can be revealed.

But will they like them?

Welcome aboard, earthlings.

After three, you are going to open your eyes. One, two, three

THEY LAUGH

Wow, that's incredible.

Nice little twirl.

-Show off your tentacles.

-Amazing.

-You two look incredible.

Look at you!

'Alien transformation complete,

'now we can reveal the mum's UFO challenge.'

-I am from the planet JackTora.

-OK.

-Right.

Welcome aboard one of our finest spaceships,

but we have a problem.

The crystal that powers the spaceship's engine broke

just as we beamed aboard.

If you want to get back to Earth in time for your wedding,

you need to get this spaceship back up and running. Good luck.

Or as we say on JackTora... SHE CHIRPS

Come on. Let's leave them to it. SHE CHIRPS AND SQUEAKS

The mums won't be on their own for this challenge.

The mini aliens will be watching outside to lend a helping tentacle.

-ALL:

-Use the alien UV device.

Oh, OK. Maybe there's secret clues.

The UV torch lights up instructions showing what

has to be done to start the spaceship.

-With your alien claw get the torch.

-Right.

-Yeah, done that, done that.

The mums need to use a magnet to move a ball bearing

along a twisty tube.

That must be that.

The ball bearing will switch on the power crystal,

sending the spaceship back to Earth in time for the wedding.

But first the mums have to get the magnet.

-BOTH:

-Check the star chart.

-Oh, OK.

-These aren't planets.

-Not planets?!

Some alien you are, Jackie.

Jupiter, Saturn, isn't it? No, it isn't. Jupiter isn't...

after Saturn. Saturn is further away.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles below on planet Earth,

agent Ed is entering a top-secret, high-security base.

Back on the spaceship,

the mums are still struggling with the alien code.

-One teeth-y thing.

-Like a crocodile.

-Yeah.

Leaving us little aliens to amuse ourselves.

How do aliens serve up their food?

-I don't know.

-I don't know.

On flying saucers. Ha-ha! SHE PLAYS HARMONICA

-One square.

-Yep.

-One triangle.

Oh, look!

Yay! You got the magnet. Well done.

On Earth, agent Ed's secret mission is to rendezvous with

the highly intelligent aliens.

If they can ever get their spaceship started.

Go on, look. Go, go, go.

It's not easy as an alien.

'Come on, Tor. Haven't you ever dragged

'a magnetic ball through a spiral alien tube before?'

You'd better sort it out. The guests - I mean,

government agents - are gathering,

and they look like they mean business.

-Oh, it's coming up the last hill.

-That's it, that's it.

Chosen humans summon the aliens by chanting the name of their

home planet.

The countdown to first contact has begun.

THEY CHEER

Success! The loved up aliens have got the spaceship started

in the nick of time.

Set destination - planet Earth for a wedding!

Yeah.

JackTora. JackTora.

-ALL:

-JackTora.

THEY SCREAM

The journey to the wedding that started on a tractor...

COW MOOS

Ends with arrival via interstellar alien spaceship.

-CHANTING:

-JackTora. JackTora.

-CHANTING:

-JackTora. JackTora.

-Aliens...

-Meet humans...

-For the very first time. CHANTING:

-JackTora. JackTora.

A close encounter of the marrying mum and mum kind.

JackTora!

APPLAUSE

-You are late.

-Sorry I'm late. I had to park the spaceship.

ALARM BLARES

This is it. The moment Hattie and Bertie have plotted for weeks.

What happened up to now has been science fiction,

the marriage is for real.

Tor, I give you this ring...

As a symbol of my promise...

..as a symbol of my promise...

..to be with you as long as I live.

..to be with you as long as I live.

I marry you with this ring, with all that I have and all that I am.

Now I think it's time you had a kiss.

CHEERING

Jackie and Tor are finally married.

I present to you our newlyweds - Tor and Jackie.

-ED:

-It's enough to bring a tear to all four of an alien's eyes.

BEEPING

I'm getting readings of an unidentified flying object!

It's travelling at thousands of miles per hour. We must go outside.

We must go outside and welcome our new alien overlords.

Outside is one final cosmic cake surprise.

Oh, wait, wait.

-BEEPING

-I'm getting another reading.

NAOMI SQUEAKS

'Hattie and Bertie have got their flying cake,

'an alien encounter of the edible kind.'

-BEEPING

-It's aliens! It's actual aliens!

'What are this mysterious, edible alien's intentions?

'Will he beam up the mini mums from the cake?'

They come in peace!

'Or just fly two million light-years to Earth...

'..and crash?

'He came in...pieces.'

It was a close encounter, but not quite close enough.

-On the top.

-There we go.

-Ooh!

'One more crashed spaceship isn't going to spoil this wedding

'of intergalactic proportions.'

I was quite nervous that me and Hattie couldn't pull it off because

it's just such a big wedding.

CHEERING

Today has been absolutely amazing. Everything was a surprise.

The kids planning the wedding has just been beyond belief.

I'm so proud of them. I'm just bursting with pride.

-It's just been absolutely brilliant.

-Yeah, I couldn't believe it.

Couldn't believe it.

-BOTH:

-This was the best wedding ever!

THEY LAUGH

What an amazing UFO wedding. It's going to be hard to top that.

I can't believe the kids managed to organise an edible alien cake.

No, the kids didn't organise that.

Well, if they didn't, who did?
