0:00:33 > 0:00:35BELL PEALS Come on.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Come on, we'll be late!

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Hurry!

0:00:42 > 0:00:44I want to talk to my mum.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Look at the queue.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54THEY SIGH

0:01:01 > 0:01:03You won't be long, will you, Ethel?

0:01:03 > 0:01:06I mean, we were really busy revising

0:01:06 > 0:01:08for Miss Bat's witchery test tomorrow.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10We kind of lost track of time.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12And unless this queue gets moving,

0:01:12 > 0:01:14we're not going to have time to ring home.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17This will be a call of considerable length, actually.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Mother's going to want to hear everything I've achieved today

0:01:21 > 0:01:23and, whilst it might not take you too long to detail

0:01:23 > 0:01:27your achievements, it can take a Hallow forever.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30I'm so sorry about that.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Apologies, darling. Can't chat now.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38- Magic council.- But...

0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Another time, hey?- You've just been talking to Esmeralda for hours.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Must fly.

0:02:00 > 0:02:06Is Drusilla OK to go in now or...?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Drusilla is. But I'm not sure you are, Mildred Hubble.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Why?- Well, if I was the worst witch around here, I'd still be revising.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16We've done plenty.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18It won't be enough though, will it?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21I imagine it's practically impossible

0:02:21 > 0:02:25to get your head around the entirety of witch history

0:02:25 > 0:02:26when you're not one.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Totally.- Yes, she is.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Even the great wizard said so.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Not from a witching family, though, is she?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38It must feel so unfair.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Some of us come top, whether we work for it or not.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Whilst others always come bottom no matter what.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Not this time.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51This time I'm going to surprise a few people.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Who am I kidding? I'm not going to surprise anyone.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Of course you will, Millie.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Well, there is one way.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Haven't you ever heard of a wisdom spell?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13If you found out how to do one of those,

0:03:13 > 0:03:16you'd be the cleverest girl in school.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Enid! Mildred would never do a spell for selfish gain.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22It's against the code.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27And she's wise enough to know not to break it.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Cleverest girl in the school?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Here's one.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44To understand in 40,000 ways,

0:03:44 > 0:03:48find the stocking of one who's lived for 40,000 days.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Add a beetle's blood and a frog's tears,

0:03:53 > 0:03:57and know you shalt see the world far beyond your years.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Where are we going to find a century-old sock?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10GENTLE SNORING

0:05:15 > 0:05:17SHE SCREAMS

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Who's been nibbling on my toes?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Lights out, Miss Hallow.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Study time is over.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48Didn't hurt a bit.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oh, that did.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Miss Hardbroom! Come quickly.

0:06:04 > 0:06:09And there they were. Hobgoblins, nipping at my socks.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14I think she's going to be needing some time off.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17We'll have to get someone in to replace her, then.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Her witchery class has a rather important test tomorrow afternoon

0:06:21 > 0:06:23and children can't teach themselves.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Let me see what I can do.

0:06:25 > 0:06:31Give me a mind greater than my own and turn me into

0:06:31 > 0:06:33the cleverest of crones.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Has it worked? Do you feel really, really wise?

0:06:51 > 0:06:52I'm not sure.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Ask me about any moment in the whole history of witchcraft.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Which king of England banned all witches from his kingdom,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03forcing us underground for eternity?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Erm...

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Something else. - I'll give you a clue.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12He had a big belly and a bushy beard.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Oh, Father Christmas!- No!

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Henry VIII. Oh, Mildred, it definitely hasn't worked.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23- What are you going to do? - There's only one thing I can do.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Revise.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33KNOCK ON DOOR

0:07:33 > 0:07:35It wasn't just me, then.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38I was up half the night revising, as well.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Want to put an extra hour in now?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43I think I better had.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46What?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51What have you done with Mildred?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Are you feeling OK, Maud?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59You don't seem yourself at all.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Mildred.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Is that...

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- really you? - Who else would it be?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10You look terrible.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14Excuse me, no-one looks their best first thing.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Anyone can have a bad hair day.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19It's a lot worse than that.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Oh, no.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33The wisdom spell.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36No, Mildred. You didn't.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38'We were supposed to make you wiser, not older.'

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Just look at your skin.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's so stretchy.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46I need to go and see Miss Cackle straightaway.

0:08:46 > 0:08:51- No, you don't. Think about how much trouble we'll get into.- Maud!

0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Where are you going?- Well,

0:08:54 > 0:08:58if it's possible to magic you into a doddery old body,

0:08:58 > 0:09:00it must be possible to magic you out.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13Oh, Esmeralda, do you know anything about wisdom spells?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16A little bit, yes.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19We're doing a project on them,

0:09:19 > 0:09:24and this book tells me how to do one, but not how to undo it.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Well, that's because you can't.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31These are time spells.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Only time can undo them, not you.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36It might be a week, month, even a year.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38You just have to wait and see.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43KNOCK ON DOOR

0:09:43 > 0:09:44You! Girl!

0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Come here. - Sorry, I'm in a bit of a...

0:09:46 > 0:09:51When a witch asks you to do something, it is not optional.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53It doesn't depend on what you feel like.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55You do it.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Thank you.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I am Miss Darkside.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06The supply witch.

0:10:06 > 0:10:11Apparently, someone called Miss Bat has lost all her marbles.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13And one of her socks.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16And I am here to replace her.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21Do you have any idea where your head teacher might be?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Yes. Yes.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25I think I might.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Miss Darkside, this is Miss Cackle.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33There seems to be a bit of a mix-up though as Miss Cackle

0:10:33 > 0:10:36was just telling us that Miss Bat

0:10:36 > 0:10:42is now absolutely fine and there is no need for a supply witch.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Is this true?- Mm.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50This place is even more chaotic than I'd heard.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54I thought you were going to make things better.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57I'm not saying that any of this is ideal,

0:10:57 > 0:10:59I'm just working with what we've got.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Do you know the punishment for impersonating a teacher?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05A whole term of cat confiscation.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Ah. Miss Darkside, I presume.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yes, that's me.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Sorry about that. Long night.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Miss Darkside's been through a bit of a crisis.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Mildred's mum's been taken ill and Mildred had to go home

0:11:28 > 0:11:31- to look after her.- Oh, dear.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33What's the matter?

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Er...

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Toenail. In-growing.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Is that really serious enough to miss school?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44This one is. It's particularly invasive.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Oh.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Well, how long will Mildred be?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51A week.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Maybe a month.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Even a year. We'll just have to wait and see.

0:11:57 > 0:12:03Well, show Miss Darkside to your classroom, please, will you, Maud?

0:12:03 > 0:12:05She's in with you.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Just this way.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Morning, everyone.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49I am...

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Millicent Darkside.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54And I'm...

0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'm covering for Miss Bat.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00And as Mildred Hubble's had to go home on account

0:13:00 > 0:13:02of her mother's terrible toenail,

0:13:02 > 0:13:05I need to magic her things on to her.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Or post them, either's good.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15Mildred Hubble's gone home because of a toenail that isn't even hers?

0:13:15 > 0:13:20- That's right.- No, it isn't. She made that up to get out of the test.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24The only way possible for her not to come bottom

0:13:24 > 0:13:27was for her not to sit it in the first place.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Oi!

0:13:28 > 0:13:29MAUD CLEARS HER THROAT

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Right, I think it's time I started teaching.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41With me being the teacher.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45So...

0:13:46 > 0:13:50..what would Miss Bat do now, I wonder?

0:13:50 > 0:13:51Fall asleep.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58Our test. She'd help us prepare for our test by telling us

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- a story from witching history.- Yes.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Yes. A story.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Right. Erm...

0:14:05 > 0:14:07OK.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09KNOCK ON DOOR The door. The door.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Come in, please.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Miss Darkside?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Yes, that's me. That's definitely me.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Miss Hardbroom, deputy head.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Just checking you're settling in OK.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Wonderful to have someone like you on the staff.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56Your reputation long precedes you.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57Does it?

0:14:57 > 0:15:03And what exactly is my reputation these days, then?

0:15:03 > 0:15:06As one of the greatest disciplinarians

0:15:06 > 0:15:13of the entire Witch Academy network. Famed for upholding tradition

0:15:13 > 0:15:16and demanding order,

0:15:16 > 0:15:18instilling fear.

0:15:20 > 0:15:26Her? "M-m-morning everyone, I'm your teacher, so I'll t-t-teach?"

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Are you laughing, girl?

0:15:31 > 0:15:36I've known your sort before and I'll break you like I broke them.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Out of my class, both of you.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43Both? Miss Darkside, I won't do it again.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Out!

0:15:50 > 0:15:51That's what I heard.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Right, first years.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Let's do this together.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06When James VI of Scotland became king of England, too,

0:16:06 > 0:16:10witches everywhere rejoiced because they thought things

0:16:10 > 0:16:14were about to get easier. But...

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Nope, still don't like them. Off with their heads.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22And the witches weren't best pleased.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25A whole head seems rather extreme.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28How about a finger instead?

0:16:28 > 0:16:33But Old Jambo was not for turning, so, a certain Guy Fawkes,

0:16:33 > 0:16:38the great wizard of his day, assembled a meeting of the council.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41There are three choices.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44One, we have a stern word.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Two, we take his dinner money.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50And three...

0:16:50 > 0:16:54And that's how the gunpowder plot really came to be.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58Fawkesy magicked himself beneath Parliament

0:16:58 > 0:17:03and lit a fuse leading to a whacking great barrel.

0:17:05 > 0:17:10But, that morning, the king received a peculiar postcard.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15"Dear, Jambo, weather here nice.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17"Don't think much of the food.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20"PS, you're about to go splat!"

0:17:21 > 0:17:27So, as the barrel was about to boom...

0:17:28 > 0:17:30..Guy said...

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Awkward.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34I suppose you'll be wanting my head.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40But, instead of flinging him on the fire like those non-witches do,

0:17:40 > 0:17:43we celebrate him instead.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47She's the best teacher ever.

0:17:50 > 0:17:55What a splendid command of witchery, Miss Darkside.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Passion for education, as well as discipline.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02This is Millicent Darkside.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Hi, gang.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Hey. I know what you've heard and, believe me, it's all true.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12But don't be scared, I save that stuff for the kids.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'll be a pussycat with you.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18How's Miss Bat?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Not herself, at all, I'm afraid.

0:18:22 > 0:18:27Her conversation is still almost entirely sock-centred.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30I suppose it was bound to happen eventually.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34Strictly speaking, she should have left many moons ago.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Perhaps now's the time.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42I don't know what I'd do without her.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47If she goes, I'll have to consider my own future, too.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52If you're OK here, Miss Darkside,

0:18:52 > 0:18:56I'm going to go and give Mildred Hubble's mother a call.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Where are we going?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Miss Cackle's office, obviously.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Miss Darkside needs to know.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10What are you doing?

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Ssh...

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Proving that Mildred really is skipping the test.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20All it needs is for Miss Cackle to ring her mum.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Wait...!

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Mildred's mum asked specifically not to be disturbed.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Not until she feels a little better.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Someone could just PRETEND to be her.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Who's going to be THAT stupid?

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Then I'll speak to Mildred instead.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40You've got to be kidding me, no...

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Miss Cackle...

0:19:42 > 0:19:46I just saw Miss Bat heading across the Great Hall,

0:19:46 > 0:19:49carrying every single sock she owned. Is everything OK?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Ah, Miss Darkside. There you are.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57A little marking for you to be getting on with.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02And Miss Bat's test for this afternoon, answers included.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Though I'm quite sure

0:20:04 > 0:20:06you, of all people,

0:20:06 > 0:20:08don't need them.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Ready? It's ringing.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- 'Hello?'- POSH VOICE: Oh, Mistress Hubble! Ha-ha.

0:20:18 > 0:20:23- 'Speaking.'- Hello. It's Ada Cackle here, from Cackle's Academy.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- 'Yes...'- Just... Sorry to trouble you.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Just ringing to enquire about your toenail troubles.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31'My toenails? What...?'

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Mildred Hubble's not at home with her mum.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Really, Ethel, the staff have told me

0:20:42 > 0:20:44all about your tendency for tall tales, but...

0:20:44 > 0:20:47It isn't a tall tale.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48Her mum told us herself.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52- What?- Miss Darkside - I'm not one of the bad ones.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54I work harder than anyone else.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56No, you don't, it just comes naturally to you.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58I wish it did.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Maybe then my mum would be even

0:21:00 > 0:21:03half as interested in me as my sister.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04Are you serious?

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yes. So you have to believe me.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Mildred Hubble had no reason to go home.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Because her mum's toes are absolutely fine.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16And how do you know?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20I think it really IS time I gave the Hubble household a call.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27I'm going to be absolutely honest, this is not going to plan.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29No, but it still can.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32We've got the answers.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35Doing well at something

0:21:35 > 0:21:38doesn't mean anything if you haven't put the effort in.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Even the teachers work really hard.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44It turns out

0:21:44 > 0:21:47I know quite a lot of witchery anyway.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48I could even teach it.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's time I told the truth.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Mildred! Wait, you're...

0:22:07 > 0:22:10I'm sorry...to bother you both,

0:22:10 > 0:22:12but there's something I...

0:22:12 > 0:22:14have to tell you.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:22:15 > 0:22:16I...

0:22:16 > 0:22:18am Mildred Hubble.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yes, we can see that, dear.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Oh, yeah! So can I.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28(It's so wonderful to be me.)

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Well, that's good to hear.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32But where have you been?

0:22:32 > 0:22:35And what ARE you wearing?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41- DOOR SLAMS - Whoops.- She's really in for it now.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44It has come to our attention that

0:22:44 > 0:22:48there might not be anything wrong with your mother. Is that right?

0:22:50 > 0:22:53If they speak to her mum, the game's still up.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54Not if I can help it.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58There's a spell. It's only supposed to work on witches.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59Come on!

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Well... I wouldn't say... I mean...

0:23:05 > 0:23:07How I'd put it...

0:23:07 > 0:23:08she...

0:23:09 > 0:23:11SNORING

0:23:15 > 0:23:17HE GRUNTS

0:23:21 > 0:23:23THEY BOTH SHRIEK

0:23:23 > 0:23:24Morning!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26What...?

0:23:26 > 0:23:28ENGAGED TONE

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Oh, why use technology... when you can use magic?

0:23:38 > 0:23:42It's A, Candle In The Wind,

0:23:42 > 0:23:45and it's Julie Hubble.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- It's H... - SHE GASPS

0:23:49 > 0:23:50You have got to stop doing that.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Everything all right, Mildred, love?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Er, yes, Mum, it's fine.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Oh, this isn't about the state of my toenails again, is it?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Only I very much doubt there's been any change

0:23:59 > 0:24:02in the hour since you LAST called.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06I'm not sure what's been going on here, but it's clear SOMETHING has.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Dinker do, dinker din

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Just for one afternoon only

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Let Miss Hubble's toenail grow in, and in, and in!

0:24:13 > 0:24:14BOOM!

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Now, look...

0:24:15 > 0:24:18Agh! Ohhhh!

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I think that's all the answer we need.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27I must return to the classroom.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Miss Bat, you need your rest.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Staying in bed just makes things worse.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34They're tinkering with my toenails now!

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'm safer at work.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Well, I'm sorry. That isn't going to be possible.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42We've found a rather capable replacement.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Oh, but that's what I've come to tell you.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48J-Just as I got back,

0:24:48 > 0:24:50the supply witch said something about this not being

0:24:50 > 0:24:55the place for her...? And she just flew off through the window.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Miss Darkside has gone?

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Miss Bat, it's so wonderful to have you back!

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Miss Darkside wasn't a patch on you.

0:25:04 > 0:25:05Ohhh...

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Well done, Maud. Top of the class!

0:25:08 > 0:25:10What?

0:25:10 > 0:25:12What about me?

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Er... Fourth.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Fourth?

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Er...was I bottom?

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Not quite. That was Drusilla.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23You were second from bottom.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26This is the greatest moment in my entire life!

0:25:26 > 0:25:29I'm only SECOND worst witch.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32I'm not sure it's anything to get TOO carried away with, Mildred -

0:25:32 > 0:25:35but I'm impressed that you picked up

0:25:35 > 0:25:38all that witch history, so...

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Sorry to interrupt, Miss Bat, but we have reason to believe

0:25:41 > 0:25:42that someone in this class

0:25:42 > 0:25:45has impersonated...a teacher.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Did you ring Julie Hubble?

0:26:00 > 0:26:01No.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03I...I did.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07My apologies.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Miss Paddock, fetch your feline.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18I shall be speaking to your mother.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22BELL RINGS

0:26:28 > 0:26:29Listen...

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm terribly sorry, but do you mind if Ethel goes first?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Mother didn't have a chance to talk to her last night,

0:26:34 > 0:26:37and she's desperate to make up for it.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Of course. After you.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Come on. She wants to hear about everything you've achieved today.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Sorry. Can't chat now.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Another time, hey?

0:26:51 > 0:26:55Oh, how did you get on with your project? About the wisdom spell?

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Erm... Fine, thank you.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01You do know some of them don't make you wise beyond your years,

0:27:01 > 0:27:03just OLD beyond them, don't you?

0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Yeah...- So...I'd steer clear, if I were you.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08Thanks.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18You...were Miss Darkside.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Yes, Ethel -

0:27:21 > 0:27:22I was.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25And it was your idea to impersonate a teacher and call my mum,

0:27:25 > 0:27:26wasn't it?

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Oh, Maud, I'm so pleased you knew that toenail spell.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38You're sure she'll be all right by now?

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Positive.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44I can't believe that it actually did the trick.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46My spell book said it only worked on witches -

0:27:46 > 0:27:49but...I guess it must be wrong.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Unless...

0:27:56 > 0:27:58What if my mum...

0:27:58 > 0:28:01really IS a witch, after all?

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Hello, Millie, love.
