Calamity Car Wash Prank Patrol

Today Lewis Slater joins the Prank Patrol.

His mission - to drive his twin round the bend with car carnage.

# Here they come, they're on a roll

# Where they'll strike nobody knows

# If you have a point to prove

# They'll make a plan and see it through

# They'll sign you up to join their crew

# Barney and the Ninjas too

# Here we go - come on, join the Prank Patrol. #

Remote-controlled car. Agh...girls.

That's gotta be him.

-Nice bikes, aren't they?

-Aye.

-'Lewis Slater...?'

-Yeah.

-Did you apply to Prank Patrol?

-Yeah.

-Brilliant. Wait there.

Let's do it.

Oh, that'll do.

Helmet!

Congratulations, mate.

Cool!

-You're a member of the Prank Patrol.

-Wicked.

-Right hand...

..lovely. You're also gonna need this - your pass to prank.

Check that out. Congratulations, mate.

-I'll need him for a while, OK?

-Yeah.

Lovely. Lewis, follow me. Lots to do!

Meet our new prankster, 10-year-old Lewis Slater.

Lewis is a sportsman - he plays second row in rugby

and he's also a brown belt in karate.

His favourite food is pasta and he loves pies - apple and raspberry.

Welcome to the Prank Van. Let's talk business.

I think the person you wanna prank

is the kind of person who acts, thinks and looks like you

and is on your nerves every day, am I right?

-Yeah.

-Who is it?

-My twin brother, Robert.

-OK.

And why are we pranking him?

Cos he's annoying and he copies everything I do a lot of the time

-and he always pulls pranks.

-I hate that.

And you share a room - any trouble?

Yeah, cos we can't decide what to watch on TV

cos he likes wrestling and I like nature programmes, so we argue.

So, once he has a go at you, is there a way you can get back at him?

-Yeah, I do this annoying voice.

-Can we hear it?

Ahzzzzhuh!

I go, "Stop it!". And when he asks questions, I go, "Wah!"

You can help me out here.

Can you say, "Let's look at Robert?"

FUNNY VOICE: Let's have a look at Robert.

Lewis and Robert are twins - not the identical kind.

Lewis finds it annoying having a twin - Robert gets on his nerves.

Like most twins they do a lot together.

They are in the same class and share a room.

Lewis has had enough.

So we've found out that Robert is always making your life a misery.

We should do something about this. But what?

It's hard to keep a secret cos we do everything together,

but we like cars.

-What d'you like about cars?

-He likes the look and I like fixing them.

How about we take you and Robert to a car wash?

-We could do that, couldn't we?

-Yeah.

-Maybe when Robert has a go,

things go wrong.

Yeah, cos when he touches them they can fall off.

-He puts a sponge on a wing mirror and it falls off.

-Yeah.

We can do all that stuff. Why not make it bigger?

Why not tell him he's washing a car that belongs to the Royal family?

-Yeah.

-You like that? Prince William?

-He'd have a car, wouldn't he?

-Yeah.

Cos it'd be real trauma if things fall off.

-I love it. High five. Are you ready for this?

-Yep.

Ninjas!

-POSH VOICE:

-Take one to the first location.

OK, Lewis, cos we're gonna ruin a car,

I thought I'd bring you to the best place - a scrap yard.

-We don't want ruin a good car cos that'd be a waste.

-Yeah.

-So, what are we looking for?

-One that's believable.

Yeah, believable. The guys are allowing us to have a look,

so hard hats on, gloves on - let's see what we can find.

What about this little beauty?

It's bashed up, I don't like blue, and it's a bit small.

Wrong colour, too small. There's more to see.

Here's a good one.

Vrooom! Vrooom! I like this one, can we take it?

No, stop mucking around, come on.

-Would Prince William drive a soft top?

-No.

How about one with sports alloys?

It'd be nice, but this car's only got one.

Ah, yes. Good point.

It really is exhausting work, isn't it?

-HE LAUGHS

-Exhausting...

What about this one?

-It's all right.

-We've found our car. It's in great nick.

-What d'you reckon?

-1.4, 16-valve.

-1.4, 16-valve.

-Very nice.

But would Prince William drive it?

No, I think he'd be driving something a bit fancier.

-He'd have a posh car.

-Yeah.

We could say he's bought the car as a present for his press agent?

-He wants to buy him a car as a present. Sound good?

-Yeah.

-Would your brother believe that?

-Yeah.

-Are we gonna take it?

-Yeah.

Ninjas! We've got the car. See you at HQ.

-Here we are, Lewis, Prank HQ. What d'you think?

-Wow!

-Great, isn't it?

This is where we turn prank dreams into reality. Follow me.

-You recognise the car.

-Yeah.

-This is Graeme, our top mechanic.

-How are you? Hi, Barn.

-This is the motor. Like it?

-Lovely. Spotless.

Lewis has got some ideas on what we're gonna do to prank his brother.

When Robert touches the wing mirror it'll fall off.

-Yeah.

-We could scratch the paint when he's washing it.

-Good.

-The window might fall in.

-Fantastic.

Is there anything else we can do to the car?

There might be.

Just...let me have a little think.

-We can do that.

-Yeah.

-That'll get a good reaction.

-What about paintwork?

-We could paint the bonnet -

put a layer of white on top and another layer of red on top.

When he washes it the layer of red comes off leaving messy white paint.

Robert looks at the Royals' car thinking he's wrecked it.

-What a great prank. Shall we get to it?

-Let's do it.

-We're all ready!

-Guys, I've prepped the car.

-It needs some spray paint now.

-Thank you.

-Let's do it.

You know what I'm doing, Lewis? I'm just rolling with it. ..Sorry.

That's it, just a little bit more. Looking good, Lewis.

Hello! We've got a couple of things to do.

We've done the paint - that'll come off when Robert washes it.

The bumper falls off and we're loosening the wing mirror,

so it falls off as well and I'm trying to loosen this bit of window,

so when Robert sprays the power washer at it,

it'll drop and water will soak the insides.

He knows this is Prince William's car, so he'll be slightly shocked.

I think that's sorted. Are you ready? Can I try it?

-Go for it, Barn.

-Leans on it. Perfect!

-Fantastic.

-Good job.

-How are you feeling?

-Brilliant.

-Lewis?

-I wanna see his face.

Wait till you see what I've got over here.

Lewis, we're gonna pretend the car belongs to a Royal employee.

Your brother'll get into trouble

when he breaks the car. Why not go one better?

Stand there - you'll be the prince in this demonstration.

You're inspecting the car

and Robert'll flick a switch like this one.

When he does...

-this'll happen.

-Agh! BARNEY LAUGHS

And off! And off! And off. There we go.

How's that? How will Robert react when he soaks the prince?

-Very embarrassed.

-I hope so - that's a top prank there.

Let's get you out of those wet clothes. Look at this. Sorry.

D'you know someone who's way too into their precious car?

Here's a fun way to make their life more interesting

with this week's recipe.

All you need is a pen, paper and a little creative writing skill.

Write a note saying, "Sorry, I damaged your car.

"Please give me a call so I can give you my details."

Make sure you include a fake phone number

or a real number that would be fun for them to call.

Try to find out when your neighbour uses their car.

Stick the note on the windscreen just before they get into the car.

Then hide out of sight.

Your target will drive themselves crazy

searching every inch for a non-existent scratch or dent.

Agh!

If they have a mobile phone you can stay for the fun

of when they call the fake number.

It'll be the icing on the cake.

-Lewis, what d'you think of this car?

-Nice.

-A good runner.

It's you and Robert's job to keep it sparkly.

You'll be cleaning this at the prank.

I've got a surprise for you. As you're twins,

I thought I'd build that into the prank. I've got a twin here.

They're pretty much the same - make and model.

The only difference is this huge, big dent in the side of the panel.

And this...bit hanging off as well.

We'll get you and Robert to clean the cars then distract Robert.

When he goes away, we'll switch, cross the cars over.

He's gonna come back and get blamed for that massive dent!

-And the panel. How will he react?

-He'll freak out.

It's gonna be cool! They're ready. Ninjas can take those.

We'll meet our royal member of the family...whoa!

Ohhhh!

Ninjas!

The important part of our prank is our visit from our royal.

-Would you like to meet him?

-Yeah.

-Ladies and gentlemen, please...

-What's that?

-Dunno.

It's a telegram. It's a telegram from the Queen!

She watches Prank Patrol, she's a big fan.

She also says, look, it's not going to be...

-Oh, Prince William can't come!

-What are we gonna do now?

I don't know. Um...

Oh, hang on. It says Prince Harry CAN make it! Prince Harry's here?

Sorry about this! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

please welcome Prince Harry!

FANFARE

Pleasure to meet you. Where's one's car?

Er, one's car is at one's prank location

ready for one's prank to take place. One. Sorry, I should point out

this isn't Prince Harry, it's an actor called Elliot. All right?

-This is Lewis.

-Nice to meet you.

-Did you believe that?

-Yeah.

Prince Harry doesn't go to car washes - what will we say?

-Why are you there?

-I'm picking up a car, going down to check it out.

-Check its condition.

-How will you convince Robert you're the prince?

Strike a few poses, you know, regal poses.

-Perhaps to one side.

-Very nice!

The eyebrow thing, that works.

-Robert will fall for that!

-Yeah!

OK, the van's loaded, it's now time to call Robert.

It's hard to keep a secret from him. What have you said to him?

I've been picked for a scheme that's like work experience.

And they might need a hand!

And we've sent this letter. The letter says "Dear Sir,

"you're invited to a car-wash work experience." What we'll do

is ring him, say it's happening, and he's invited.

Yeah? Make the call!

RINGING

-'Hello?'

-Hi, Robert, it's Lewis.

You know this car wash? They need help so you can come.

-'All right then. Do we get paid?'

-No.

-'Ohh! What time?'

-Around one o'clock.

-'Around one o'clock?'

-Yep.

-'OK.'

-OK, see you.

-'See you, bye.'

-Bye.

PHONE BEEPS

-Has he gone?

-Yep.

-Lewis, you were killing me then!

He wants to get paid. We can pay him in water!

-Pay him in sponges. But he said yes, he'll be there? You happy?

-Yep!

I'm so nervous! Let's see how it goes.

All right, Ninjas! Take us to prank location!

How will Robert react when this car falls apart?

Will he believe he's soaked the real Prince Harry?

Or will he think the prank's a wash-out? It's all coming up.

We're all set for the prank on Lewis's brother, Robert.

-Say hello, Lewis.

-Hello.

-This is the car that we're gonna pretend belongs to Prince Harry.

It's also the car we're gonna use to prank Robert.

-Tell everybody what we've done to the car.

-We've loosened the wing mirror, so that'll come off.

We've loosened the front and back bumpers and the back light, so they'll come off.

And we've put a special paint on the bonnet that will come off.

Robert is gonna trash the car without knowing it and get blamed.

Yeah, baby. If you follow me out here...

you'll see the other twins that feature in this prank, but they're not people, they're people carriers.

There's a lovely one, that's what it SHOULD look like.

But this one's twin brother is in a bit of a mess. That's not nice.

There's a massive dint in the side and the panel will fall off.

Robert, during the prank, is gonna be cleaning THIS car.

He's gonna get distracted, we're gonna do the switcheroo,

he's gonna come back to find the damage that he's gonna get blamed for.

-And that's it. Sound good?

-Brilliant.

-One of those! Are you excited?

-Yeah.

Let's give it a bit of a clean first, make sure it's sorted.

That's not working, sorry. Just a second... Should be working.

Maybe there's a bit of a blockage.

Ninjas!

I've had word that Robert is three minutes away

so we're getting ready - Lewis has got his car-wash costume on.

-And what's this bit?

-There's the microphone and the receiver.

And Robert's gonna be wearing one too, and this is the control room.

-You're gonna be just outside these windows. Are you ready for this?

-Yep.

Let me show you what's outside.

You recognise the red car, which we've rigged up.

If you look under the bonnet, you'll see Steve, our car-wash manager.

-Hi, Steve, how's it going?

-I'm just putting the finishing touches to one special effect.

As well as everything falling off and the paint running, smoke will start to pour out from the bonnet.

-Your brother's gonna think the car is a complete write-off.

-Brilliant, nice touch.

That's the power washers that are gonna be soaking Prince Harry

-and here is Prince Harry himself. Hello, Your Highness.

-Hello.

-Robert is four minutes away so you'd better make yourself scarce.

-Good luck. Tally-ho.

Right, Sid, it's all yours.

And of course the whole prank is gonna be covered with our hidden cameras.

-So we've done all we can for the prank. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Give us one of those.

Good luck. Go and get in position.

Ninjas, hide the van!

The blueprint for Lewis's prank is a work-experience day at a car wash...

with a car that gets accidentally dented

and another one that totally falls apart.

A visit from Prince Harry,

who gets a good soaking and ends up having his car stolen,

and it will all seem like it's Robert's fault.

Here comes Robert, arriving at the car wash,

where Lewis and Steve are waiting.

Right, suppose you know why you're here today.

-Yeah, washing cars.

-Exactly.

Steve's got Robert straight into his waterproof gear so let's get the pranking started.

Well, let's get you two working on the first car, shall we?

I've got to do some stuff so I'll leave you to it.

Lewis, you're gonna do this side

and, Robert, you're gonna do the other side.

How are you doing, lads? Doing all right?

Leave your sponges in there, just want a quick word with you in here.

Forgot to give you these. They're little questionnaires...

While Steve's got the boys distracted, it's time for the Ninjas to do the old switcheroo.

Oi, watch out for the bucket!

Oh! Ninjas!

Anyway, the boys have no idea that the perfect car they were working on

has been replaced with a dented one.

Good work, Ninjas.

We have...a car out there on the court

which belongs to a member of the Royal Family.

-The Royal Family?

-The Royal Family.

Yeah. Exactly.

Basically when Prince Harry goe...

Prince...

BOTH: Harry?

It's Prince Harry's...car.

-I shouldn't have said that.

-We'd better not get it wrong.

Before I let you loose on that one, you're better off finishing the one you were working on before.

Remember, Robert has no idea that the cars have been switched.

-Whoa!

-What?

Big dint.

What have you been doing?

-How's it going?

-Look at what he's done.

Where's this from?

I don't know!

-Who was washing this side?

-Him.

How did you do that?

When I came out it was like that.

-It doesn't just become dinted, you must have done something.

-He did it.

All right, it's OK, it's all right. We've, er...

We're insured.

Brilliant. Robert is totally falling for it.

Now let's see how he gets on with Prince Harry's car.

To look at this, you wouldn't think that this cost £150,000, would you?

See? Bullet-proof windshield.

-All the glass is bullet-proof.

-Yeah, right(!)

We need to get started on this. I'll be back in a bit. Don't forget to use the pressure washer!

Yeah.

Is that really a good idea? Let's find out.

Ooh, there goes the rear light.

Robert!

-What happened?!

-What have you done?! You've knocked out the back light.

Oh, no, there goes the window!

THEY LAUGH

And the wing mirror!

THEY LAUGH

Ah, the front bumper's gone now! Hang on,

so's Robert. He's still got the bonnet to do.

I'm not an expert on car paint,

but that doesn't look right to me.

It doesn't sound too good, either.

I think they've short-circuited the electrics.

Where's this smoke coming from?!

Whoa!

THEY ALL COUGH

I was just spraying it and everything started...

Smoke's coming out from under the bonnet!

How did you knock the front bumper off?

The paint's coming off! This car is meant to be...

It's... It's meant to be indestructible!

This thing is meant to withstand a tank and you've wrecked it!

-What have you done?

-Sorry.

Just when the twins think things can't get any worse,

here comes the Prince.

Quick, boys, roll out the red carpet.

Stand to attention!

Hi, Steven. Nice to see you again.

Hello again, Your Highness.

-Who are these young boys?

-Lewis and Robert.

They've been helping me this morning.

-Nice to meet you, Robert. Have you enjoyed it?

-Yes.

-Brilliant.

-Is my car ready, Steven?

-It's...nearly ready.

-Is that my car there?

-Yes.

Follow me, please.

Prince Harry's press agent's not going to want this car any more!

-What's going on?

-Uh...

-Well, sort it out!

Well, we've been having a few problems.

-Have you been using power washers on it?

-Er, yes.

-Yes, we have.

-Which power washer?

-Can I have a go?

-Er... Yes, yes. Certainly. Um...

Do you want to, er...

Do you want to turn it on at the wall?

It sticks, that one, sometimes.

Turn it off! Turn it off! Off! Off!

Oh, Your Highness, I'm terribly sorry. Terribly sorry.

-Um...

-Steven, just...

-What were you thinking?!

-I cannot believe it.

-I'm sorry.

-This is terrible. Get me a towel!

-Yes.

Would you care to wait in here...?

..You wait there!

As the Prince recovers from his right royal soaking,

-it's up to the boys to make it up to him.

-He's asked that we

wash this car. Here are the keys. Just take care of them.

OK? And just... Clean it over and TRY...TRY not to wreck it

this time.

The boys get down to work. Here comes the Prince's chauffeur.

-That's not the one we saw before. Who's this?

-I need to take this

-and get it filled with petrol. Have you got the keys?

-Yes.

-OK.

-Boys! You never give a stranger the keys! Oh, dear!

-Thanks, lads.

You're welcome!

Oh, no, the shady chauffeur's done a runner with the royal car!

What's the Prince going to say?

-He needed to go and get it filled up with petrol.

-Who did?

-That guy.

-The guy with the hat.

He went to fill it up with petrol.

What... What guy?

-A guy!

-He was in a suit.

With a hat on.

-What, a chauffeur?

-Yeah, a chauffeur.

The Prince has only got one chauffeur and he's been in there!

Who's taken the car then?

I don't believe this!

You've let the Prince's car get stolen!

I thought it was the chauffeur's!

I wonder if the Prince is going to believe that!

-Is this some kind of joke?

-No.

-Not any kind of joke?

A guy dressed as him came up and asked for the keys.

-It's not a joke?

-It's not a joke.

Well, I think Robert's been pranked enough.

Let's put him out of his misery.

Hello, there, hello.

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

The car's been... The car's been stolen.

-Really? Is that right?

-Yes.

Tell Robert what's happening.

You've been pranked by Prank Patrol!

CHEERING

Not only were you washing the Prince's car, you wrecked it too.

-Yeah.

-Knocked the bumpers off, wing mirrors, paint job,

-you made it smoke.

-Yeah.

-Somebody stole his car.

-Yeah.

That means you owe us...40,000, plus 150,000. A lot of money.

-Just as well it's all one great prank.

-Yeah.

What a great sport. Lewis, one of those!

I think the prank did go to plan because

Robert believed us.

Let's sum up what Robert's day consisted of.

He wrecked the Prince's car - the lights, bumper, paint job,

gave the keys away to someone else who then stole it

and cost the prince £200,000. Not a good day for Robert.

When I saw the dent, I felt really bad.

I felt really bad about it.

When the smoke started coming out, they knew something was wrong.

Smoke doesn't normally start blowing out of the car!

I think he was relieved when he realised it was all a prank,

so he wouldn't have to pay for the damage.

Robert thought I looked like Prince Harry. He was in awe.

I did believe it was Prince Harry, but I wasn't sure.

I'm not worried, he'll never pull a prank as big as this on me.

Don't be so sure!

Yet another top prank, wouldn't you say?

-BOTH: Yeah!

-I didn't even get wet!
