0:00:03 > 0:00:06This is the story of Roy O'Brien.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09He lives in an ordinary house on an ordinary street.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12The only trouble is, he doesn't look very ordinary.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15All Roy really wants is to fit in,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18but it's very hard to stay out of trouble
0:00:18 > 0:00:20when you're a cartoon.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Roy!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Roy!
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Roy!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- MAN SNEEZES - Flu epidemic! Flu epidemic!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Flu epidemic!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48'Ballyfermot, like much of the rest of the country,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50'is in the grip of a flu epidemic.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53'In the O'Brien household, only one seems to have been affected,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'so far.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Do you have to?
0:00:59 > 0:01:03SHE COUGHS
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Mum, I don't feel well. - Becky, is Roy up yet?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Hello?!- It's not like him to be the last down.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Hello?!- Will I go up and call him?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Anyone there?- Stay where you are.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Put on some bacon, see if this works.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- See?- There you are, son.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We were getting worried about you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30It's not like you to be last down for your brekkie.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34I was just onto Jack, texting him the cheat codes for Frog Massacre.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Frog Massacre, yeah, course.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Hello?!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I've got a temperature of 107.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I had to wring out my duvet...twice.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I've slugs crawling out me nose.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53I have a headache the size of Poland.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Is there any chance of
0:01:56 > 0:02:00the slightest smidgen of sympathy?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02You won't be wanting your waffles, then.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07The school has been badly hit.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Both pupils and teachers have been affected.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Symptoms are sore throat, fever, blocked sinuses and fits of...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16sneezing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21OK, class, settle down.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Jack...- Not here, Miss.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Kathy...- Miss Sheringham?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Tommy.- Miss Sheringham?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Roy, what is it?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45This is deadly.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Usually you can't get near the hoop.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Mr Hogan doesn't like me trying this, but he's off sick.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Course, you know why they're all sick?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09They don't get any proper food these days.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11All that Jamie flippin' Oliver stuff.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- What did we have to do last Friday, Ayleen?- Couscous.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16That's only fit for rabbits.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So today I say, make a nice roast with potatoes,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- and there's no-one here. - Hi, Nora!- Hiya, Roy!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Glad to see someone's here.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It'd take more than the flu to put you off your dinner, what?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I'll get you some nice potatoes.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Would you like some green beans? They're very good for you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Will I give you extra crackling, Roy?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Yes, please, Nora!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Would you like some apple crumble, Roy?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Oh, Nora. Two portions, please!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48HE BELCHES

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Hiya, Jack.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08No, now's not a good time.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Still dying, yeah?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14No, I'm grand.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17You need another games controller?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19No, mine's back at home,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22but I can throw it around if that's what you want.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24So, when do you...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Hello? Jack?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39The only real way to deal with this virus
0:04:39 > 0:04:43is through inoculation. I've had my jabs, so has Maura, nurse Mary...
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Er...actually, I haven't.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Why not?- To be honest, I'm not great around needles.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- If you do get the virus...- Or blood.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59The one thing you mustn't do is be a martyr, struggle into work,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02infect everyone else, not good.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09107 divided by ten
0:05:09 > 0:05:11equals?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Oh! Kevid...? Kevid?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17You mean Kevin, Miss.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yes, Roy, that's what I said.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Kevin isn't here, Miss.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Oh...
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Yes. I knew that.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Yeah, Miss.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Are you sure you're OK, Miss? - I'm fide, Roy,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42absolutely fide.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Can we not just watch a DVD, Miss?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48No, Roy. We cannot just watch a DVD.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50We're supposed to be leardig.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Oh!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55In my old school, we used to watch DVDs.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Well, this isn't your old school, Roy. This is your new school.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And we're doing decimals, OK?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04SHE SQUEALS
0:06:04 > 0:06:06SHE SNEEZES
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Some people might say I'm being a bit hard on him,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12but Roy has a fair bit of catching up to do.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16And frankly, this epidemic is a great opportunity to do that.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20BELL RINGS

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Hey, Conor. Story?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Still dying, yeah? What?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Pancakes?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38You need eggs.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I think.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Wh...? Conor? Who else is there?
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Sinead, Conor and Jack were there.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47We made pancakes.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Well, we tried to make pancakes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I threw up in their window box. I don't think they found out.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Wednesday, we turned up at Sinead's place.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59We made her have a party in her living room.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02When her mum came home, she went ape.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Roy was the only one left in school.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06All on his own.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Serves him right, the freak.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13COUGHING
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Third day...
0:07:14 > 0:07:19I can't wait to get back to school, to be honest.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23The television during the day is desperate.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28I guess I miss my friends and I miss being busy.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Ring-ring! Hello, it's the phone. It's the phone, answer me,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34it's the phone, answer me, the phone, it's the phone, answer me,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- it's the...- Hey, Roy.- Hey, Tom. How's the head?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Rotten! Have you caught it yet?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Funny you should say that, Tom. That's why I'm calling.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- What do you mean? - School is terrible.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I need to get sick fast.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54OK. Well, first things first, to get sick, you need to catch the flu.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I've got the flu, so where are you?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02FEEDBACK SCREECHES
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Whoa! Turn off your phone!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08This is the last time I'll ask you, Roy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Are you really sure you want to do this?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Come on, keep breathing through your nose
0:08:13 > 0:08:16and sooner or later you'll have to sneeze.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Achoo!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Can I wipe it off now?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35TOMMY LAUGHS
0:08:35 > 0:08:37This isn't funny, Tommy.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38This is flippin' manky.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Actually, Roy, it is kind of funny.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Something just occurred to me, Roy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50When was the last time you were sick?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Ummm... You know,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I can't actually remember.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Have you ever been sick?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02'Rebecca is still sick, and feeling very much under the weather.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06'She's desperate for her usual comfort food - ice cream.'
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Roy!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Roy?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Roy?!
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Shh....I'm getting pneumonia.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33'Ten o'clock.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36'And has Roy succumbed at last?'
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Still normal.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44You're just cold, love.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Here, this'll warm you up.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Listen, love, all I'm saying is that I can't blame him.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You know, if all his mates are off sick...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Did you never bunk off school, or pull a sickie?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Yeah, and when I did, it was me ma's job to catch me at it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Honestly, Bill, I think he might be pulling a fast one.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13And you being Mr Softy isn't helping.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I'm not being Mr Softy!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'm just saying...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It's no good, Jack, I need to get sick fast.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I think me ma might be onto me as well.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Wait a sec. I think I might have an idea.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- I'm all ears.- Have you tried...licking a bar of soap?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- What?!- Jack!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Yeah. I heard somewhere that works really well.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Jack? Jack?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Wait a minute, Jack. What was that about soap?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Jack, I need to talk to you this instant!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Listen, Roy, got to go. Mum's on the warpath.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- What's happened to my window box?! - Window box? What window box?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Soap!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00HE MOANS
0:11:00 > 0:11:03BUBBLING
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Bill!
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Can you come up here to Roy's room?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I need you to have a look at something.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- What is it, love? - What do you think?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17ROY MOANS
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Yep... That's certainly new, isn't it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Well, I don't like it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Ah, he'll be all right, love.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30If he's not better by tomorrow, we'll give Dr Raschid a call.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I might give him a shout anyway.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I suppose you'll be wanting your breakfast, then.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37A man has to have his rashers.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I can't drive my taxi on an empty stomach, can I?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Hi, Jack. I fooled them, hook, line and sinker.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54HE SNIFFS
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Wait a minute! Hold on a sec.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Ah, no way!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05She's cooking bacon!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I'll call you back!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Phew.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- You know what?- Yeah?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25That poor little fella.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Normally he'd be straight down the stairs by now.- I know, love.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I should have believed him in the first place.- Yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Hi, I'm Becky.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I live in the room at the top of the stairs, first on the right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- Could I have a bit of symp... - Just a minute, Becky!- Maura!- What?!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Me rashers and me eggs...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Give that to your father before he dies of starvation.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Morning.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Are you feeling hot, love?- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Is your tummy sore?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Aw...yeah, yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You're staying in bed now.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Now anything you want, just shout.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- But you won't be here, Ma. - I can't leave you on your own, son.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'll tell Dr Raschid I'm taking the day off to look after you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25You're what?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Now, house rules when you're sick
0:13:28 > 0:13:34are no computer games, no TV, and no getting out of bed. Are you with me?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Yeah.- Ahh.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Poor lamb!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Roy! How are you, pet?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Awful, Ma.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Awful.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Boredom, boredom, boredom, bo...
0:14:06 > 0:14:07I'm bored, I'm bored!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Doo-de-doo. Ha ha!
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I'm a big fat hairy scary ghost!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Whoo! Ha-ha!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Roy...
0:14:41 > 0:14:42I said no TV.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Look at the state of your bed!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47This is what you need.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Some chicken broth, and yoghurt for afterwards.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Thanks, Ma.- I've taken the chocolate sprinkles off
0:14:53 > 0:14:55in case they're a bit rich for you yet.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58And there's no TV, OK?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'm taking this with me.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- HE SIGHS - Help!
0:15:06 > 0:15:11It's 1:30, and Maura's just had a call from the medical centre.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13OK. OK. Of course, Dr Raschid, yeah.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'll be in as soon as I can.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Bye, now. Bye. Bye.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20That was Dr Raschid at the clinic.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Nurse Mary's got the flu now.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26And they can't cope, so I've got to go in, which means leaving Roy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Roy!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Oh, don't leave me, Ma!
0:15:32 > 0:15:37I know, love, but Mary's sick and Dr Raschid needs me.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41So be a brave boy and try to manage without me for a few hours, OK?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- OK...- Good boy.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48CHEERING
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Becky's here if there's an emergency.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54You'll be OK, won't you, love?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- I'll try, Ma.- Good boy.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Becky, keep an eye on Roy now, will you?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Go away!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- You're on the mend, so. - And close the door!
0:16:22 > 0:16:26OK, maybe I'm being overprotective,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30but did you see the look on that poor fella's face
0:16:30 > 0:16:32when I said I had to go?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Gutted.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Yahoo!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Yeah, she's gone! See you in a bit, lads.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Come on in.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- How you feeling, Roy?- Terrible.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Me too!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10So what do you want to play?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We want to see you do the hiding thing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Frog Massacre? Monster Crash 2?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Nah, nah, the hiding thing.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Have you seen the hiding thing? Roy, show 'em.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Can't we just do normal stuff?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Hiding thing! Hiding thing!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28OK, OK. Just this once.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Are you ready?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Yeah! - Come on!- Get on with it, Roy.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Can you see me now?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Of course. Get on with it, Roy! - Roy, just do it, would you?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Can you see me now?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Told ya!- That never gets old!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Wow. That's amazing!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Where's he gone?- Worth waiting for, huh?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55APPLAUSE Hi, guys.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I suppose there's some compelling reason
0:17:58 > 0:18:02why you're all standing in our garden.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Feeling better, Roy?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05HE COUGHS
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Not really, Becks. You?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Are you, Becks?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Cos you're looking better.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Ah, c'mon Becks. It's hard to tell sometimes
0:18:18 > 0:18:20with all that goth make-up.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22You're not gonna tell Ma, are you?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24That is for me to decide.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30I'm now going back to bed and will not be disturbed.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34And I haven't got any goth make-up on!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37She's not going to tell on us, is she?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Come on...- No, that's cheating!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47That's it, lads! There's only one thing for it.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm going to have to go into her room and confront her.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I have to know if she's going to tell me ma or not.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54We all have to know.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- What are you going to say to her? - I dunno, Sinead. Something.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Anything!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Becky? Becks?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Becka?

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Well, this is interesting.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Interesting? Why? What are we supposed to be looking for?
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- Where's she gone?- I think I might know the answer to that one.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38PHONE RINGS
0:19:40 > 0:19:42What do you want, Roy?

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Feeling any better?

0:19:51 > 0:19:56- or I'll tell Mam you've been skiving off.- Sorry, Becks.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I didn't want to go barging in and disturbing you like you said.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01But I was wondering if you wanted...
0:20:01 > 0:20:05I dunno, a hot drink, soup or a sandwich

0:20:24 > 0:20:27What's going on, Becks? I'll tell you what's going on.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I've been in your room. And you're not there.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Probably at the shopping centre looking for some shoes or something.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So here's the deal. You've got nothing on me
0:20:36 > 0:20:38and I've got nothing on you. Capiche?

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Hi, Roy.- Kathy?!
0:21:01 > 0:21:07I overheard Conor saying you have a copy of that new game, Frog Massacre.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Thought I'd drop by and try it out.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Give you all a run for your money, yeah?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Bored.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I feel rotten. Fit to burst.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45HE BURPS
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Roy, how d'you do that? It's rapid.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It must have been the soap.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52What? What soap?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I ate a bit of soap.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58I didn't say eat the soap, just lick it.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I bet you couldn't eat a whole bar.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- I don't want to eat a whole bar of soap.- Come on, I dare ya.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05I don't want to, Kathy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07"I don't want to, Kathy(!)"
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Come on. I double dare ya!
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- It could be a laugh, Roy. - Go on, Roy. I think it's be so cool.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I can't wait to see this!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Come on, do it! Come on!
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Boring.- Useless.- Waste of time.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46HE BURPS DEEPLY
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Roy, are you OK?- Help!
0:23:01 > 0:23:04So, can Roy even get sick?
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Who knows?
0:23:05 > 0:23:10And if not, will this immunity lessen or deepen his troubles?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Bubbles?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I think I can safely say that is the first time
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I've ever seen a patient... emitting bubbles.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38A cartoon patient bubbling away, bubble, bubble, bubble...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42That one is not in the medical books.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45I know, it was my fault.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I shouldn't have left him alone.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Becky, leave Roy alone, will you?!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I was on the way to the airport with a fare when I heard.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I dropped him in the middle of the M50 and came straight over.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I'm worried sick.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Bill arrives to find Roy and Maura waiting anxiously.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Dr Raschid is investigating.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Well, the X-ray's come through,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27and looks like we've got quite an unusual result.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Don't know if you can see it there.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Looks like a severe case of Celtic Breeze.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Well? - OK, it can be one of two things.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Either it's Oxygenating Lavatus Ebulliosis...
0:24:47 > 0:24:48- What?!- Come again?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52It's a rare gaseous condition that affects boys,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54mainly in the nine to 12 age group,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58and can only be treated by spending an entire month in bed.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01No distractions, complete calm,
0:25:01 > 0:25:07no TV, no music and absolutely nil by mouth.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Or...it could be Roy swallowed a bar of soap
0:25:11 > 0:25:13to fake sick and get off school.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Roy, I'm really disappointed in you.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20A whole bar of soap?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25So, Roy, which do you think it is?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Er, well...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Did I mention Becky wasn't sick either?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38'I mean, of course we were very disappointed.'
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I mean, it was so unlike Roy.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43So out of character.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I mean, imagine eating a bar of soap!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48He could have made himself seriously ill.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Yeah.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53He should have just come clean, there, love.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Should have come clean!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Soap.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Well, last night I got sent straight to bed.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06No dinner. No TV. In the doghouse.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09And I still can't get that taste of soap out of my mouth.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14What the...
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Ma!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24'The epidemic is over. School life is getting back to normal.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27'Everyone is fighting fit.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29'Well, almost everyone.'
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Kathy?- Here.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Barry?- Here.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39All present, except for Roy...

0:27:18 > 0:27:20She's what?
