Kay Purcell Remote Control Star

-Have you ever wanted to control a celebrity?

-Make your wish their command?

This is the show where three mates take charge of a star for the day,

controlling them through funny situations like these.

Shout, "Show me the money!" as loud as you can.

Show me the money!

You've got to accidentally spill cereal all over the place.

Oh, dear.

Squirt it at him.

HE YELLS AND CACKLES

-Now be a duck.

-Quack! Quack!

All the action takes place in our celebrity house.

It's rigged from top to bottom with hidden cameras and microphones.

And our Remote Controllers will be based here...

..in this hi-tech control room, giving their star instructions

via a secret earpiece.

It's time to remote-control another star.

CHEERING, CAMERAS CLICK

Let's meet today's Remote Controllers.

Hey. I'm Ethan.

I'm the brains of the group and I can really think outside the box.

Ethan probably comes up with the best ideas cos he's brainiest.

So he can think of lots of strategies.

Hi, I'm Jamie. And I'm pretty random. Schmur!

Jamie's just really good at making people laugh.

He comes up with loads of funny ideas.

Hey, I'm Scott. I'm the prankster of the group.

In lessons, sometimes, he'll shout out a random word, like, "Book!"

So, Remote Control Star, you'd better watch out.

We've met our Remote Controllers. Now it's time to meet today's star.

Thing is, I'm a little bit worried.

-Why?

-Because today's star is quite scary and she's a tough nut.

OK, whisper it. Who is it?

She's not really like that. That's just her character in Tracy Beaker.

Oops. There's a clue.

Today's star is known from Emmerdale, Waterloo Road

and she plays Gina Conway in Tracy Beaker Returns.

It's the actress Kay Purcell!

CONTROLLERS CHEER

Hello!

Hello. How's it going, Kay?

It's going good, man.

"How's it going, Kay?" What's your first impression of our Remote Controllers?

They look beautiful people, kind, caring.

-You wouldn't do anything horrible to me, would you?

-That's what you'd like to think.

That sounds scary.

Trouble. There's trouble.

So, Kay, do you promise to obey all orders from our Remote Controllers,

no matter how tricky they are?

-I do.

-Brilliant. Kay, this is your sneaky Remote Control Star earpiece.

You need to hide that and get off for challenge one. Are you ready?

-You go that way. Remote Controllers, are you ready?

-Yeah!

Let's go for it, come on!

So, Kay's in the sitting room. Four cameras are covering her every move.

She should be able to hear us via these microphones here.

Guys, put your headphones on.

-It's JK here, can you hear me?

-Yeah.

-OK, it's time to reveal

-what we've got in store.

-OK.

Being a top actor, I'm sure that you like to unwind like all the luvvies?

-Oh, yes, darling.

-So, what we've done is arranged

-a yoga session here in the front room for you.

-Ri-ight.

-Well, yoga classes are normally relaxing, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Not today.

-OK.

-The yoga instructor is going to have

-the weirdest, strangest yoga class she's ever had in her life.

-Right.

-You have

-15 minutes from when the class starts to make it...just weird.

-OK.

'The challenge is for Kay to be 100% weird for an entire 15 minutes.

'As ever, tasks will pop up on this screen.

'Will the Remote Controllers be able to get Kay to do them?'

OK, we're just waiting for the doorbell now. Everyone poised?

Let's do this.

'Cameras are rigged, Kay's in place.

'Here comes the yoga teacher.'

DOORBELL Ooh!

THEY MOUTH

'Kay's pretend assistant is showing the yoga teacher in.

'It's time for the Remote Controllers to have some fun.'

-Hi.

-Hi.

-You all right?

-I've brought you a yoga mat.

-Oh, right.

"I like the colour of the mat."

Do you like the colour?

-It's nice.

-Yeah. It is. It's a nice colour, though, isn't it?

'This is all about making the yoga class weird.

'This task should help.'

Make the yoga teacher move her mat around the room three times.

As you said, you've got tight hips.

-OK. Right, can we try those a bit over there, please?

-Sure,

which way do you want it?

Yeah. Oh, what you think?

You need to feel...

-Closer to the fireplace.

-Could you bring it closer, please, as well?

-About here?

-Yeah.

'That's the second mat move.

'The yoga teacher must be starting to think

'Kay is the world's fussiest pupil.'

Move it to the sofa a bit.

Oh, right. Yeah. Like you say.

Maybe if we do that over there?

Sorry. I'm just...

So you're facing the garden?

-Yeah. That's great.

-So you get a bit of air...

-Wicked.

That's fantastic. Thank you.

'That's three mat moves.

'Well played, Remote Controllers.'

Ask her to move the mat slightly to the right.

Could you move it slightly to the right, please?

KAY SIGHS

-OK?

-Yeah.

'Five minutes gone and the lesson's getting odd.

'Time for Kay to really confuse the teacher now.'

Put the legwarmers on.

Oh, right. Yeah, I'll put my legwarmers on. Just to...

Oh, no... In fact, I don't want those on.

I've got kind of a few pairs because I wasn't sure, you know? Right.

OK, let's get you started.

As you're standing, I'll just keep you standing for the moment.

What we normally do is try and keep our feet grounded.

Ah... Sorry, I do want them on.

Yeah. Which do you think? Yellow, pink? Hmm?

-Er...I'd go for pink.

-Pink? OK.

Yeah. OK. Pink, pink, pink.

-We are all different, aren't we?

-Yeah...

I can't get it on.

No, forget it again. Forget it.

OK!

-Say, "Can you help me put the legwarmers on?"

You know, this is... Could you help me do them, please?

-Put them on?

-Yeah. Again, because I just can't bend. Is that all right?

-That's fine.

-Thanks.

-Sorry, I've got cold hands.

-I know, darling.

'It's lucky she does so much yoga,

'or that teacher could be getting stressed out by now.'

Yeah. I'm feeling those. Yeah.

Say you want a yellow one on the other leg.

Could I have a yellow one on the other one? Because...

You know what I mean? INSTRUCTOR LAUGHS

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Say, "Don't laugh at me."

Why are you laughing at me?

Don't laugh at me.

INSTRUCTOR CONTINUES LAUGHING No, honestly.

SHE LAUGHS

"Do you think I'm weird?"

Do you think I'm a bit weird?

No? All right, OK.

'She's changed her mind about them so many times I've lost count!'

Oh, no!

'Everyone loves a cheeky task.

'There's a secret remote control fart machine which is

'activated by this big red button.

'The Remote Controllers have to choose their moment carefully.

'Can they pull this off without the yoga teacher sussing them out?'

Bend your knees, just placing our hands.

-Good grief. I don't think I'd get in that position.

-It's OK.

Say that looks a bit scary.

That really looks scary.

-For beginners.

-Can I have a go?

Right, can I just have a go?

-Of course you can.

-Right.

OK, so you did...

-Yeah.

-OK.

Centre yourself.

-Feel the connection.

-OK.

Your hands. Forward from the hips, if you can.

No, there's no way.

No, honestly. I'll have to start with something really easy.

Go on, Gina.

FARTING NOISE

Great timing, Remote Controllers!

-Say sorry.

-Sorry about that.

Yes, Kay's managed to pass that fake guff as a real one.

Weird yoga? It certainly was.

Time to reveal the prank.

Reveal the remote control.

This is a hidden camera show.

-Well done!

-OK.

Did you not think that was really weird? That you came round and...

So, there was a moment where you probably heard

-a rather rude noise?

-Yes.

FARTING NOISE

But the great thing is, you can time it perfectly.

So just have look at that down there.

FARTING NOISE

LAUGHTER

The funniest part, I think, was when she farted.

When she stretched up and she just let it loose.

FARTING NOISE

When we said our first thing and then

she just did it straight away, we felt in control then.

-So, did we enjoy it?

-Yeah.

-More to come, yeah?

-Yeah.

Remote Controllers, time to get your control heads on again.

Kay here is at your disposal.

I think it's time that we threw her in at the deep end once again.

It doesn't involve a swimming pool, does it?

No. As it's coming up to lunchtime -

you've been a legend so far, and a great sport - the next challenge is

going to be taking place in a cafe.

-Right...

-Fancy that?

-Uh...

You haven't got much choice. Let's do it, shall we? Come on.

Oh, gosh!

Kay, it's Joel here. Can you hear me?

-Yeah.

-Right, you've got to go to that cafe and order a meal.

-Yeah.

As the waiter brings it over, change your order

for something completely different

-that the Remote Controllers will think of.

-Right.

-Is it going to be tricky?

-Yeah.

Kay's challenge is to become the world's most awkward cafe customer

and keep it up for 15 minutes.

The Remote Controllers are watching from inside the van,

and tricky tasks will pop up on the screen while they boss

Kay through her secret earpiece.

We've rigged secret cameras up in the cafe, and here comes Kay.

-Sit on the chair in the corner.

-OK.

-Hi.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

-Just for one?

-Yeah, please.

-Down here all right?

-That's fantastic.

-I hope you're enjoying the weather.

It's great, isn't it?

All right, lovely. Thanks.

Kay's cosy in her seat. But now,

Ethan, Jamie and Scott are about to make things really

uncomfortable for her.

Start singing to yourself, quietly.

SHE HUMS

# Doo doo doo, doo doo doo... #

-Nice singing!

-Ha!

Right, we know that Kay can sing now.

It's task time.

-There you go.

-Brilliant.

-Are you here for something to eat today?

Yeah. Thanks. Lovely, thanks.

We do have some specials.

-I just noticed that.

-Ask if they have an omelette.

..Smoked salmon sandwich.

-Right. Sorry, do you have omelettes?

-We don't have omelettes,

-we've got scrambled eggs.

-That'll do.

-That'll do.

-There you go.

-Thanks a lot. Cheers.

-No worries.

Say, "You're such a handsome man".

You're actually quite a nice-looking guy, aren't you?

You're really handsome.

-That's very kind.

-All right.

-"Just my type." Say, "Just my type."

-Ahh...No!

LAUGHTER

That was ultra embarrassing. But get ready for worse.

Here comes those scrambled eggs.

-Cheers.

-All right for you?

Do you want any sauces at all, lemon?

Shout out that the doctor said

you're not allowed to have eggs, cos you're allergic to them.

Oh, just remembered, can't have eggs.

You can't have eggs? That's probably not the dish for you, then.

Kay looks really shamed.

Will the remote controllers be able to get her to send back

any more dishes?

All right, all right, um...

Ask for smoked salmon.

I'll just do the... I'll do the smoked salmon.

-Sandwich, yeah?

-Yeah. Will you please...

Well, it's the egg. It looks amazing.

-It's all right, I mean. You know...

-I'll find somebody who wants it.

JK, I'm hungry here,

looks like there's going to be loads of spare food going!

Say bye.

Bye.

That was funny.

There you go.

-Sorry about the wait.

-No, thank you.

-Thanks.

-Are you OK? Do you want some more water at all?

Say that you don't like that kind of fish,

say you only like fish from Japan.

Er...oh.

-Is this Japanese?

-Is what Japanese?

-The salmon.

-I don't think so.

I'm not sure. I think we get it from a local supplier.

Say you don't like local, and you only like Japanese fish.

-Do you like Japanese salmon?

-Well...

-I don't know. It might not be, unfortunately.

-Really?

Ask him if he has some soup.

What soup is there at all?

Soups, we've got a puy lentil and bacon soup.

Say, yeah, you'll give that a go.

Yeah, I'll give it a go.

-Puy lentil and bacon?

-Yeah.

-And do you want me to leave you with the salmon?

-Oh, yeah, well...

Nah, take it away.

No, no.

That's brilliant. Thanks very much.

You're doing really, really good.

She has done really well!

Just one minute to go.

So, here's another task.

Watch out, Remote Controllers, things are going to get spicy.

OK, thanks.

Tell him to put lots and lots and lots and lots of pepper on.

Do you mind putting some pepper on for me, please, is that all right?

-Lots. Say lots and lots.

-Can I have lots, please?

-OK.

-Lots and lots.

-Are you sure now?

A bit more.

-It'll blow your head off.

-More.

-Keep going?

-Yeah, please.

-Say, "I love pepper".

I love pepper.

Keep it going, lads. Not long left.

Just 30 seconds to go.

Ask him if...

if it's white or black pepper.

Is it white or black pepper that you put on there?

-That is black pepper.

-Black pepper.

-Say that's disgusting.

I don't like that.

-I don't like black pepper.

-Right, OK.

We've just put quite a lot on there, haven't we?

Well, you put it on, didn't you?

-True, yes. You did ask me to, though.

-Time's up!

Great job, remote controllers.

Reveal the gag before he throws her out.

Reveal that you're being remote controlled.

I've been under remote control.

I've had people telling me what to do.

-Well done.

-Fantastic. Brilliant stuff.

-I feel so sorry for you.

-That's all right.

Just to let you know, quickly, you've been part of

a hidden camera children's TV show.

And as you can tell here, Kay was winding you up something chronic.

-She was quite a lot.

-What did you think? I used to be a waiter

when I was younger and I hate these sorts of customers.

Were you just thinking it's a normal day for you?

I was waiting to bring the bill across!

Anyway, congratulations. I'm going to sit down.

Can I see the menu, please?

The funniest bit was when she ordered the salmon and then

the waiter brought it to her and she said, no, I only like Japanese fish.

Oh, is this Japanese?

-Is what Japanese?

-The salmon.

My favourite moment was when he piled on loads and loads of pepper,

and at the end she finally goes, I don't like pepper. That's funny.

-I don't like black pepper.

-Right, OK.

Rock, paper, scissors.

I'm a cowboy!

It's great that all these stars have agreed to be remote controlled

through tricky situations on our show.

But, to make things fair, JK and I have agreed

to take a taste of our own medicine.

This is JK and Joel remote controlled.

This is the part of the show where

we're told exactly what to do by remote control text message.

We never know what's coming next, but we have agreed

to obey every order, no matter how awful it is.

-So, waiting for the first text message.

-Anything?

MESSAGE ALERT

Right on cue. Here we are.

Jug of milk, two shakers.

Right, what next? "This is Manky Milkshake.

"You each have two minutes to bring back three manky items

"to flavour each other's milkshake."

Oh, so each other's? This is going to get messy.

No, I'm OK. I'm looking for something manky.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, right.

Oh, you're going to love this.

Is it chocolate?

It's fish, everyone.

Fish in your shake.

Fishy, fishy, fishy.

Goose fat! Oh, look at that.

Go on, have a smell of that. Go on, it smells like off Sunday dinner.

Do you like vinegar?

You do now. There you go, it's a good start, look at that.

Hate cheese? You do now, don't you?

Now, how much fish would you like in there?

-There you go.

-Aww!

Not all of it!

-It's like a squid.

-I can smell it from here.

-PFFRRRT!

-Oh!

It's got hairs in it.

Yours looks quite appetising.

I'm waiting for a message to say it's a joke.

-MESSAGE ALERT

-Text message.

-I'll get goose fat on it.

-Don't wipe it on me!

"Whoever drinks the most is officially the bravest."

Do you know what?

Three, two, one, cheers.

THEY COUGH

I can't even smell it.

-You haven't taken any!

-I have.

Oh! Here we go, three, two, one.

Lovely, that.

-Have you just finished that?

-Yes.

How did you do that?

Just... it's all about mind over matter, JK.

-You are such a brave little soldier.

-Go on, say it, who's the bravest?

-You're the bravest.

-I am the bravest.

That was the most disgusting drink I've ever tasted.

It couldn't be worse next time. Could it?

We're back with our Remote Controllers

-Ethan, Scott and Jamie. So, are you ready for the final challenge?

-Yes.

Kay is in the kitchen and, believe me,

she's ready for this challenge and it's going to get extremely messy.

-Kay, its JK

-. Hi.

-Are you ready for your final challenge?

-Yes.

-OK, can I ask you a question?

-Go on.

-Do you like slapstick comedy?

Um...yes.

-Good.

-Oh, gosh.

-Kay, it's Joel here. I've got one of my special treats for you.

-Great.

In a few minutes, a children's entertainer is going to arrive

whose name is Jimbo.

And this is the story. He's coming round to the house

-to discuss a booking for your kid's party.

-Right.

But you've got a secret challenge.

You must get him to let you do lots of silly pranks on him.

-It'll get messy.

-OK.

And don't worry because the Remote Controllers

will tell you what to say and what to do.

What possibly could go wrong?

-Oh, gosh!

-So listen out for the doorbell.

-OK.

-And Jimbo will be here in a second. Good luck, Kay.

-Thank you.

Can't wait to see Kay's pranks!

As ever, some extra tricky tasks will pop up on this screen

for the Remote Controllers to get Kay to carry out.

Here we go, Kay's ready and here's Jimbo the entertainer.

Fingers crossed for some serious fun.

-Hi.

-How are you doing, OK? Really good.

-How are you?

Yeah, all right.

-Would you like a seat?

-So, what is it you want me to do

-because we don't usually... Is this to discuss your child's party?

-Yes.

It's a two-fold thing, really. It's the child's birthday party.

I need to know a little bit about

-slapstick and stuff.

-Ok, cool, cool, cool.

Kay's going to need bottle for this and some water, too.

I've got some things and I'm just wondering

if you don't mind having a look.

Just to see what do you think.

Right, so, say this, say if I was going to do this...

Squirt it at him.

If I kind of wanted to do it, what would you kind of do?

How would you build up to that?

Well, I wouldn't do stuff like that.

What's wrong with that?

It's a bit boring and old school.

Say "How do you know it's boring if you haven't tried it?"

But how do you know it's boring? Have you tried it?

I do use pistols but I use big Super Soakers.

Right, if I sprayed it,

would you show me what kind of face you do, is that all right?

-You cool?

-Give it a go.

Argh! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

That's amazing.

For someone who's come for a meeting, Jimbo was up for a soaking.

What a sport!

How will she get him to fall for the oldest trick in the prank book?

Get him to sit on a whoopee cushion.

And you know these, are these...

PFFRRRTT! I know that makes a...

How do you make that funny?

How do you make it funny? You know?

Ummm...I'd put...

I would use it with a microphone, put it on a chair like that.

Show me.

-It's hard to do at a kids' party.

-Yeah.

I'd just... I'd probably go...

I'll just...

HE SCREAMS AND LAUGHS

It's seriously windy in that kitchen.

Time to get seriously messy.

Make an excuse to cream pie him.

Right, so then... Hold on.

On its own it wouldn't be fun, but like if it's a character,

that's a little bit...

Say, "Do you like cream pies?"

Um, yes, I wanted to do the cream pie gag.

-Yes.

-Right, so...

so what would you do?

-How much would you do?

-I'd go to town.

Get loads and loads and loads and loads.

Right, so, if I was doing it, how would I throw it?

I don't want to throw it,

but how would I? Hold on, do you want put that around you and then I go...

-No.

-Are you sure?

-So feed me.

-I love that. I love it.

Trip, trip, trip.

Pretend to trip.

Cos I want the kids to be able to do this kind of stuff.

And if I did that... so shall I pretend to trip?

Actually do it.

Yes, actually go for it.

Awesome! I've never seen a remote control cream pie before.

They've done it! Time to reveal that we've been clowning around.

Reveal that you're remote controlled.

I actually didn't think you'd let me do it

because this is a children's... hidden camera show.

-What?

-Surprise!

You can stay sitting down if you want.

I thought it was going to be a boring meeting.

I just couldn't believe...

but also what you did is...

Oh come here, give me a cuddle.

The most exciting part for me was probably when

Kay squirted Jimbo with the flower,

and the water went all over him, and then he just over-reacted.

Argh! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

-He was awesome.

-Great, amazing.

The best thing ever.

THEY CHEER

I'm sure we will all agree, has Kay been a star? Big round of applause.

-How was it for you, though?

-Oh, fantastic. Really, really good.

Really? How was Jimbo?

Wild. Wasn't it wild?

Kay, do you think the Remote Controllers were fair today?

Yes. Sometimes it was like you asked me something when we were in the cafe

and I was like, "I'm not doing that. I'm not doing it."

But, on the whole, you were really fair.

Listen, guys, we have these for you,

exclusive Remote Control Star baseball hats

and some lovely, lovely, lovely hoodies for you as well

so you can wear those with pride.

So that's it from us until next time when we put a star

with more Remote Controllers here on...

ALL: Remote Control Star!
