Sherlock Holmes Marrying Mum and Dad

Marrying Mum And Dad is back.

ALL: Yay!

It's the only show that puts the kids in charge

of planning their parents' wedding day.

Are you sure you want to inflict this on their wedding day?

-Yeah.

-You're late.

Say goodbye to boring, traditional ceremonies.

Let's dance!

And hello to crazy action-packed weddings.

Open your eyes!

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

-This wedding was...

-Incredible, amazing and crazy!

Raah!

On today's show,

a duo with all kinds of tricks up their sleeves to surprise

Mum and Dad on their wedding day.

Ah! Oh!

Their parents have already handed over control...

With the laying on of hands, I now pronounce the kids officially,

100% in charge!

..but will a mysterious crime ruin the big day?

There's a thief in our midst!

GASPS

And will Mum and Dad be able to deduce what the girls have planned

-for them?

-Are they good at solving mysteries, do you think?

-No.

-They're looking a bit clueless at the minute.

We're about to find out.

Because we're...

ALL: Marrying Mum And Dad!

Welcome to Marrying Mum And Dad.

The only show that puts you in charge of planning

your parents' wedding.

Yeah. They have no say.

None. Nothing. Nada.

If Mum and Dad have got any plans,

I'm afraid we don't want to hear them.

Nope. The kids are taking over.

Today, we're heading to Essex,

where two sisters have come up with a mind-boggling mystery for

Mum and Dad's big day.

Meet Millie.

We're going to take over this wedding for our mum and dad.

And her younger sister, Leila.

We'd like to organise this wedding because it won't be a boring,

old wedding.

Completing their family are mum Angela...

We don't know what's going to happen.

We've no idea at all.

And... You know, that's making us really nervous.

..and their dad, Jaz.

I don't really like surprises, to be honest with you.

I've never liked surprises.

Don't like surprises?

Haven't you seen the show?

Yeah, tough luck, Dad.

The time for you making decisions is over.

So, let's investigate what Millie and Leila have in store

for their big day.

Yay!

For our wedding, we're going back to a time where things are

very different.

A world where you can trust no-one but should suspect everyone.

Mum and Dad will need to solve all the clues to find out this one...

BOTH: Because our theme is Sherlock Holmes!

Sherlock Holmes is the world's most famous fictional detective,

created way back in 1887.

He's been brought to life on the big and small screen loads of times,

and along with his trusty sidekick, Dr Watson, they'd solve mysteries

that no-one else could crack.

Sherlock Holmes?

What a great theme for a wedding. I love a good mystery.

I've always thought I'd make a great Victorian detective.

Well... You've certainly got the nose for it.

Ha-ha. I think you'll find I've got the eye for it, more like.

Yeah, no suspect would get the better of me when I was

searching for clues, uncovering the evidence,

interrogating the...

Where's my magnifying glass gone?

I think it's best to leave the detective work to our

wedding planners, Ed, don't you?

Yeah, you're probably right.

They've already been hard at working thinking of all the things they want

on the big day.

I can't wait to see Mum in that.

But it's not going to be easy pulling off a wedding that's going

to transport Mum and Dad back in time.

We need to come up with a Sherlock kind of mystery

that our mum and dad can do.

In each room, they should find different clues.

Fear not, girls, help is at hand.

This is the Marrying Mum And Dad mobile HQ!

It's jam-packed with tech and all the stuff our planners will need to

solve the mystery of their wedding plans.

And more importantly, it's a parent-free zone.

Yeah, shoo, Mum and Dad!

It will be pitching up at our family's home, so the kids can plan

everything in secret, away from prying eyes.

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Wow!

We've got a mobile HQ now.

-What?

-This is where we plan the wedding.

-What?

-Whoa!

-Shall we get onboard?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

Take a seat.

As huge fans of detective mysteries,

Millie and Leila want to draw inspiration

from the best detective of all.

Why do you want your mum and dad

to have a Sherlock Holmes themed wedding?

We chose Sherlock Holmes detective theme

-because there will be a lot of mysteries involved...

-Yeah.

..and our mum and dad will have to try and solve all these crimes

and it'll be really funny watching them.

Where do you think you could go to find out everything you need to know

about Sherlock Holmes?

Where Sherlock Holmes used to work?

Maybe, maybe.

Good idea, girls!

And as Sherlock Holmes worked and lived in London,

that's exactly where we've come to get inspiration for their wedding.

Showing them round the sites is tour guide and all-round

Sherlock Holmes expert, Jen.

We are here outside 221B Baker Street.

-Do you know who lived here?

-BOTH: Sherlock Holmes!

Yes, well, actually, he didn't, because he is a fictional character.

A lot of people thought he was real, but he was the creation

of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

And so, he wrote 56 Sherlock stories and four novels,

all starring the world's greatest consulting detective.

So, follow me as we learn more about Sherlock.

-The game's afoot!

-The game is afoot!

"Afoot"? What have my tootsies got to do with anything?

Don't be clueless, Ed.

"The game is afoot" was a saying Sherlock once used when he set off

to investigate a case.

Is this what Sherlock used to wear?

Yes, he's very famous for a particular hat.

It's called a deerstalker and he was very, very famous

for wearing a deerstalker.

The final stop is a visit to a replica of Sherlock's study.

-Whoa.

-Whoa.

-So many things in here!

There's one thing here from every single case he ever solved.

-Wow!

-What was the gadget that he used most often?

Oh, well, one of his favourite gadgets was his chemistry set.

-So he was really good at science?

-He was VERY good at science.

So are we feeling that this tour's given us lots of ideas

-for the wedding?

-Yeah.

Yeah, there's lots of objects that we can put into the venue...

-Mm-hm.

-And we've got lots of ideas for the mystery for Mum and Dad

-to solve.

-Perfect!

So now we're clued up on all things Sherlock Holmes,

it's time to unlock the mystery of this wedding and get planning.

High-five! Woo! High-five.

And each other.

Let's have a look on the internet for some venues.

First up is finding a Victorian-style house.

Maybe some big staircases.

And they think they've found just the place.

I can really imagine Sherlock Holmes living there.

I think this is a really cool venue.

Yeah.

The girls want an old Victorian manor house to host their mum and

dad's wedding, just like the ones in so many of Sherlock Holmes' novels.

So next, the girls head on down to have a good old nosy around.

But it seems Ed's taking this Victorian detective drama theme

a little bit too seriously.

Good morning, girls, and welcome to Baddow Park.

Ed, who are you supposed to be?

I'm lord of the manor.

In your dreams!

Off you go! Watch out for the hounds.

These super sleuths are leaving no stone unturned in their quest

to find if this place is fit for a detective themed wedding.

Hurry up, girls, before Ed dozes off!

SNORING

Oh, too late.

That's the whole house investigated with a fine tooth comb.

But have these hounds picked up the scent of the perfect venue?

Excellent detective work, my little sleuths.

Are you happy with this venue for a Sherlock Holmes wedding?

BOTH: Yes.

Elementary, my dear Wilkinson.

ED-ementary more like!

Genuine Victorian venue successfully uncovered.

Millie and Leila want to set Mum and Dad a mystery that would challenge

Sherlock Holmes himself.

Draw some smoke. You want lots of smoke, do you?

Yeah.

OK. The girls want the final clue in their wedding day mystery to really

go off with a bang.

We want there to be loads of effects.

-Like special effects?

-Yeah.

OK. What sort of things?

Smoke, red lights and loud noises.

When the girls told me they wanted bangs and explosions to scare

Mum and Dad, I set up a little surprise,

just to make sure we got the right thing.

-Oh!

-Ah!

NAOMI LAUGHS

Oh, my God.

Well, you did say you wanted special effects!

-Yeah.

-Something like that?

-Yeah!

-Do you want to go outside and try a few more special effects?

-BOTH: Yeah.

-Come on, then.

Ha, their faces were brilliant!

Oh!

Ah!

Yeah, they genuinely jumped out of their skin!

But I bet this isn't Mum and Dad's idea of wedding day fun.

My ideal entertainment for my guests,

I'd like maybe to have a singer or a band to start off the evening.

I love having a boogie.

You'll definitely be jumping, Mum.

I just don't think it'll be quite what you had in mind.

Girls, meet Special Effects Steve, a man with a few explosive ideas.

So tell him what Mum and Dad are most afraid of.

-Smoke.

-And loud bangs.

Oh, we've got plenty of those.

Go on, then, Steve, show us.

-Go for it.

-This is a CO2 jet, girls.

Do you think that's loud enough?

-BOTH: Yeah!

-Will that scare them?

-BOTH: Yeah.

-Scared me.

Think that was scary, Naomi?

Check this out! I'll give you three, two, one

and then you press that red button there and it'll go off, OK?

All right, three, two, one.

Oh!

Ah!

That was loud. Are you happy that's going to shock and surprise

Mum and Dad on the wedding day?

BOTH: Yeah!

With Hollywood-style surprises for Mum and Dad in the bag,

it looks like this wedding will definitely go off with a bang!

Oh!

So you've had some thoughts about the outfits, I assume?

-BOTH: Yeah.

-OK, tell me what you're thinking.

Dad's going to be Sherlock Holmes and Mum's going to be Dr Watson.

-Is she?

-Yeah.

-As a bride?

-Yep.

So it's not going to be a standard white wedding dress for Mum then?

-BOTH: No.

-What's she going to be wearing?

She's going to be wearing a dark jacket with a bowler hat.

Every bride's dream.

Just remind me, is Dr Watson a man or a woman?

-A man.

-Mmm, I thought he was.

Um, a Victorian man?

That's your dream wedding outfit, right, Mum?

I am a girlie girl.

I like to have my hair looking nice

and some nice shoes.

I wouldn't like to wear, like, any trousers.

I still would like to look like a bride.

Um, that'll be a no then.

Oh, well, you did put your kids in charge.

Where else to find some amazing outfits than the world's largest

private costume supplier?

This place has dressed actors in more than 30 Oscar-winning films,

so this is the best place

to find a Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson costume.

Right, they've got thousands upon thousands of costumes here so even

the world's worst detective should be able to uncover something.

Shall we start investigating? BOTH: Yeah.

They're all chequered, but not the right colour.

Yeah.

Very nice!

Oh, yeah. Oh, I like that.

The girls seem bowled over with those hats.

Rawr!

Aah!

I'm the Bird of the Baskervilles!

More like Bird-brain of the Baskervilles, Ed.

A-choo!

But eventually, the girls start to find clothes straight out of a

Sherlock story. Oh, look at this!

-You've hit the jackpot there, haven't you?

-Yeah.

That screams Sherlock Holmes to me.

That's Dad's outfit solved.

-What about Watson?

-Um...

-AKA Mum.

-Probably these two.

Yeah?

So that for your mum, with this coat?

-Yeah.

-A nice three-piece suit on her wedding day.

Just what every woman wants.

-Yeah.

-So Mum and Dad's clothes are sorted.

But the girls still haven't quite solved

this wedding planning mystery just yet.

Every kid's favourite part of a wedding?

-Cake!

-Yay!

So let's talk cake then.

So what do you want this cake to look like?

It's going to have a lot of props on,

-which Sherlock Holmes would have used.

-Yeah. Right, well,

we've got loads of icing here and we've got loads of props as well.

This could get very messy.

Good luck, everyone.

The girls want the wedding cake to feature a notebook,

magnifying glass and other Sherlock-inspired props.

So you're making the book?

-Yeah.

-And you want to write on it?

Yeah. It's going to say The Case Of The Missing Rings.

-You need more icing.

-Yeah.

They're planning to send these examples

to a professional cake maker.

Things are really hotting up at The Great British Bake Off final.

Millie's racing against the clock to get her book done on time.

Let's see how she's doing.

What do you think the judges are going to make of your

-book decoration, Millie?

-They're going to think it's great!

In case you're having trouble telling at home,

this is a real book,

-this is cake decoration of a book.

-Yeah.

You see? Fooled you!

You couldn't tell which was which, could you?

Well, let's hope the cake maker can.

If not, we might end up with a very strange cake indeed.

It's my latest case - The Mystery Of The Dodgy Cake Designs.

That's it! This wedding planning thriller is solved.

From some explosive entertainment...

-Woo!

-To the art of deduction.

Excellent detective work, my little sleuths!

This wedding whodunnit is about to become unmasked.

-Rawr!

-Aah!

-Or will it?

And as the big day draws closer,

Mum and Dad still don't have a clue about what's in store for them.

Are you nervous about your wedding?

We're very nervous.

We're nervous about what we're going to wear,

we're nervous about where it is,

what we're going to do.

Mum and Dad are even resorting to that classic interrogation technique

to get Millie and Leila to spill the beans.

-Tickle her!

-Shall I tickle it out of you?

Can I get it out of you?

-No!

-Tell me where the venue is!

-No!

-MUM:

-What about Millie?

Tell me what I'm wearing!

-You tell me what I'm wearing!

-No!

Give it up, Dad. These girls' lips are sealed.

The wait is finally over, and it's the morning of the wedding.

I'm really excited.

I've got butterflies in my stomach.

I've got so many different emotions at the moment.

Mum and Dad still have no idea what the girls have planned.

The high trousers that I've got on, it could be a clown.

Could be a clown's outfit but I'm not sure.

No time to clown around, Dad.

The Mystery Of The Wedding Outfits is about to be revealed.

I love this, two little Bobbies!

What do you think of your costumes?

-They're amazing.

-Yeah.

I'm quite pleased with mine.

Two Victorian police officers...

A rather dashing Victorian gent...

All we're missing is...

Butler!

Yes, sir, no, sir, anything you say, sir.

I fancy some orange juice!

Ha-ha ha!

Serves you right for being greedy. Now you go and fetch Mum and Dad.

Come on, we'll get in position.

No, you're the butler. I'm supposed to give you the...

We're nearly ready to open this case.

All we need now is two world famous detectives.

Oh, yeah, that's great, stop there.

You've got to keep your eyes really tightly closed.

Let's hope Mum and Dad haven't deduced the theme.

The time has finally come to show you what the girls have chosen

for you to wear on your wedding day.

So on the count of three, you're going to open your eyes.

Ready? Three, two, one...

-Take a look!

-Oh!

-Oh, wow!

-That's amazing!

Do you know who you are?

-Are we Sherlock Holmes?

-Sherlock Holmes!

-And?

-Dr Watson?

-BOTH: Yes!

-You are!

Oh, wow!

Oh, this is unbelievable.

Well done. Look at you two.

It's fantastic!

Aww.

So Mum and Dad have discovered their theme and cracked the case

of what they'll be wearing.

Let's hope they haven't detected

what the girls have in store for them next.

It's time to transport them back over 100 years

to the Victorian times.

Let's hope they can recognise their guests.

Millie and Leila wanted everyone to be dressed in authentic Victorian

costumes. And they've done exactly that.

Nearly there. Here we go.

Right, so if we just stop you right next to each other there.

Right, Holmes and Watson,

are you ready to find out where you're getting married today?

-Yes.

-We are.

-OK, you can drop your hands on the count of three.

Three, two, one...

CHEERING

Welcome to 1890!

Would you like to go and greet your guests?

I think it's about time to see if Mum and Dad are really worthy

of the title of world's best detectives.

Yep, I think we need a case to be solved.

Let the games begin!

Ladies and gentlemen, children,

my name is Lord Blivverguts, and it's only because of my very

generous nature that I'm allowing this wedding to take place today.

What Mum and Dad don't know

is they're about to play a starring role

in their very own crime mystery, organised by the girls.

It's time for...

Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, forgive me for interrupting.

Mrs Wilkinson, how dare you interrupt me!

I'm giving a very important...

Oh.

The rings have been taken?!

GASPS

There's a thief in our midst!

GASPS

No rings can only mean one thing.

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson will need to find the culprit,

or there'll be no wedding.

Before you can get married, you have to solve

The Case Of The Missing Rings.

-Let's do this.

-Your first clue is...

Somewhere upstairs, there's a picture with a twist.

ALL: Oooh!

Clue number one - Holmes and Watson must find a picture with a twist.

And to, um, help them, Lord Blivverguts...

I mean, Ed, will be playing a starring role.

Millie and Leila will be giving me clues to pass onto Mum and Dad

via a hidden earpiece.

What are you doing here? You're disturbing my violin recital!

Looking for a picture with a twist.

Oh, go on, then!

Have a look around.

Don't take too long. I've got some guests to entertain in a bit.

Picture with a twist...

-Eugene Twist!

-Oh.

-A picture with a twist.

-They found the picture with the twist.

They solved your first clue.

I suppose you want another clue?

-Yes.

-Yes, please.

Yes. Well...

They need to go somewhere where they can lounge about and have a read.

Oh, it's very cryptic.

You're going to have trouble solving this one.

Clue number two - a room where you can lounge about and read.

Chop, chop, Ed! You need to get into your next character

before Mum and Dad find the room!

Look, they look just totally confused, don't they?

Oh! Oh, sorry, you gave me a fright!

What can I help you with, sirs?

-We're looking for a clue.

-Oh, well, I might be able to help you, yes.

Clue number three...

Clue, clue!

She's forgotten it! She's forgotten it, and we can't remember!

You can't remember your own clues?!

If we're not careful, this case will never get solved and Mum and Dad

-won't get married!

-There's a book with something inside.

-They've got to find the book with something inside, yeah?

-Yeah.

Maybe you can find a book with something inside.

That's the worst clue ever!

Now you're just telling them what to do.

It's less of a clue, more of an instruction.

What colour is the book?

-It's brown.

-Brown.

-There's a key, Watson!

-Yeah!

Oh, what a shocker, they found it.

We'll make detectives of you yet, Holmes and Watson.

Mainly because Millie and Leila keep giving you all the answers.

Having worked out which door the key opens...

Welcome to my conservatory!

..there's still time for one more surprise for Mum and Dad.

Remember Special Effects Steve?

Well, he's on-hand to help the girls make this mystery

go off with a bang.

In one of these balloons,

there's a picture of the person who stole the rings.

The fourth and final answer...

I mean, clue!

But how are we going to get them to pop?

I wonder. Let's go for it.

Ready? One, two...

Oh!

BOTH: Have a look around!

Smoke, shaving foam and water -

it's the perfect combination for any bride and groom on their big day.

Any picture of who done it?

Have a look at this one maybe. It's the last one, the red one.

Have a good look at that.

-Oh, what's this?

-Have you found the picture yet?

I've found something.

Just when it looked like their wedding was going up in smoke,

Mum and Dad have found the final clue to solve this mystery.

THEY LAUGH

What have you got there, Dr Watson?

BOTH: Who done it?!

Wanted for theft!

-A-ha!

-Lucky we have a couple of Bobbies close at hand.

You're under arrest! Hand over the wedding rings!

It was the best man all along!

Thank you.

ALL: Hooray! Yay!

The best man's supposed to have the rings anyway!

-Oh!

-Case solved!

Mum and Dad have not only proven themselves as great detectives,

but they've found the missing rings.

So now, they can get married.

ALL: Yay!

Angela, as I take you to be my wife, I promise to love you,

I will stand by you and be true to you always.

Whatever life may bring, I will always love you.

Jaz, as I take you to be my husband, I promise to love you,

laugh with you when you're happy and comfort you when you are sad.

It therefore gives me the greatest of pleasure to say that you are now

husband and wife.

Now that Jaz and Angela are officially husband and wife,

what better way to celebrate than with some cake?

Holmes, Watson, it's time for you to uncover your wedding cake.

Ta-da!

-Oh, wow!

-Wow!

CHEERS

-Wow.

-Wow. That's amazing!

But the bride and groom are blissfully unaware

that Millie and Leila have another surprise up their sleeves.

So there we have it, a truly explosive end to an incredible day.

Millie and Leila have done it,

but how has their Sherlock-inspired wedding gone down with Mum and Dad?

I don't really think I could put into words how proud I am of my two

girls, just to watch them all day and see what they've created.

For them to actually arrange our, you know, the most important day

is just fantastic.

And what about our wedding planners?

Do they think they've solved the mystery of a great wedding?

It's been really fun and amazing.

Everyone's had a really good time and everyone's laughed and

it's been really, really amazing.

BOTH: This wedding was a hit!

Well, that's it! Mystery solved, what a brilliant day.

Oh! It had everything - shock, surprise, suspense.

-Yeah.

-Super sleuths...

-S...

-Yeah, we get the idea.

-Splendour?

-Yeah.

-And smoke!

-Yeah!

Did somebody say smoke?!

Oh, no, not again!
