Playing Twin It to Win It

-Ahh, this is the life.

-Amelia, what do you want to do this summer?

I don't know. The Dwarf Games was amazing last year.

Yeah. Who doesn't love winning loads of medals?!

-We need a REALLY big challenge this time.

-Yeah. Like what?

-Trek the Sahara?

-Too hot.

-Swim the Channel?

-Too wet.

I have an idea!

What about Wimbledon? Celebrities, strawberries and cream, parties.

That would be...

Come on, then, we've got no time to spare!

OK.

-Hi, I'm Amelia.

-And I'm Imogen.

We're 12 years old.

And, if you haven't guessed...

BOTH: ..we're identical twins.

VOICEOVER: This summer, we're going to crack Wimbledon.

But there's just one small problem - we don't play tennis.

Sorry!

We've NEVER made strawberries and cream.

-Oh, my God!

-Ha-ha-ha.

And, as for umpiring,

even the CHAIR is scary.

How am I going to get down?

But, one way or another, we are going to turn Wimbledon...

Salsa!

BOTH: ..into Twinbledon!

So how will we get into Wimbledon, then?

Well, obviously we'll just have to become tennis superstar players.

Can't be that hard, can it?

Um... Let's just get some tennis rackets.

Surely they'll let us in.

Yeah, let's do it.

-Ow!

-Sorry!

We need a bit of coaching before we play, don't we?

-But who should we ask?

-I don't really know any tennis players.

Me neither.

Oh, but on the last series of Strictly,

it said that Judy Murray was a tennis coach!

She would be perfect!

I can't believe I'm going to meet Judy Murray!

TWINKLING SOUND

Imogen, what on Earth are you wearing?

I'm wearing a dress, for Judy!

We're not doing dancing, we're playing tennis!

Go and put your tennis gear on!

IMOGEN SIGHS

AMELIA SIGHS

VOICEOVER: Judy Murray, OBE, is one of the country's

best tennis coaches.

She's helped both her sons, Jamie and Andy Murray,

to Wimbledon victory, but we know her best from dancing on Strictly.

-BOTH: Hiya, Judy!

-Hi, girls!

So, we would really like some help on how to play tennis,

and how to be amazing tennis players.

Well, it takes a long time to be good at tennis, and the top

-players practise every day.

-OK. We can do that.

-I mean, we might have a natural talent.

-Yeah, you never know.

OK, then. Let's see, shall we?

Well, girls, the good news is that the footwork in tennis is a little

bit like dancing, so I am going to show you something called

the volley dance, which will help you to get to the ball in time.

See, Amelia? I could have worn my ballroom dress.

Ready?

So, we go step out, step forward, and make a volley, then a step

back on this foot, then this foot, and make a volley on that side.

Perfect. Then, I go back, like, here. Step out, step forward.

VOICEOVER: Dancing! This is much more our cuppa tea.

So, now we're going to add another little dance step,

so when I say, "Salsa," we put our rackets in the air,

like this, and we give a little wiggle, and we all run together,

like this, and then I'll go, "One, two, three," and we'll go, "Whoa!"

So, here we go.

Step out, step forward. Step back, step out, step forward.

Step back, step out, step forward, step back, step out,

step forward, step back, step out, step forward.

VOICEOVER: Who knew dancing and tennis were so similar?

This, we can do!

Ready to salsa? Salsa! And, in we go! Hands in. One, two, three.

ALL: Woo!

Three you go - tennis and dancing, perfect match.

So, girls, that was really, really good,

because that was tricky exercises, and I see some real talent there.

-Thank you, Judy.

-What do you prefer, dancing or tennis?

-Ahh, tennis.

I was rubbish at dancing!

-Are you ready for the twins' cheeky question?

-I think so...

-Who's your favourite son, Jamie or Andy?

-I love them both the same.

We thought you would say that.

JUDY LAUGHS

It's just what your mum would say, too.

VOICEOVER: Actually, Judy, we ALL know our brother, Riley,

is Mum's favourite.

It was amazing meeting Judy, and, now we've warmed up with our

footwork, if we want to be tennis players here at Wimbledon,

we REALLY need to know how to hit the ball.

Thankfully, Judy has sent us to see just the right person.

We're here to meet Jamie Murray to get some tips on how to play tennis.

Jamie Murray?! Do you mean ANDY Murray, who won Wimbledon last year?

No, Imogen, Jamie's Andy's big brother!

VOICEOVER: Jamie Murray isn't just Andy's older brother.

He's won THREE Grand Slams,

AND Wimbledon doubles!

-Whoa! How cool's this?

-Look, there's Jamie. Let's go and meet him.

-Hi!

-Hi there.

-I'm Imogen.

-And I'm Amelia.

And I'm Jamie, nice to meet you.

I'm going to give you some tips

and advice that are going to help you get a bit better.

Best thing to do is just start playing.

So, the first rule in tennis is to try to hit the ball over the net.

Ready?

Go!

SHE LAUGHS

VOICEOVER: Oops! Missed it!

Unlucky!

Good.

Oh, Imogen!

VOICEOVER: Maybe we need a FEW more pointers.

How does the racket need to travel, if you want it to go straight?

Like this?

And, if I want to make it go higher, I need to come from low, to high.

-OK.

-OK. Ready?

Brilliant, that's the way.

OK, you've really got the hang of it.

Next stage, try to hit it away from me, so I've got to run.

OK.

Like that!

VOICEOVER: I just got a ball past Jamie Murray!

But he's not done with us yet.

All right, girls, you're doing an awesome job,

but now I've got something to help you hit your targets.

OK, girls. We've got 60 seconds.

Try and hit as many of the celebrities as you can.

We've got Shawn Mendes, got Justin Bieber, got Niall Horan,

got Ed Sheeran, and Harry Styles.

Get 10 points for each target you hit.

OK? All right, Amelia, you're up first.

OK, go!

There you go.

Almost!

-Hey, very good!

-Yes!

-So Bieber won't be happy.

VOICEOVER: Practice like this is vital

if we're going to show we've got what it takes in our big match.

-Yes!

-Got all five!

-Yes!

VOICEOVER: Well, I think I did pretty well.

Your turn now, Imogen.

There you go.

There you go! Boom.

There you go!

There you go, 60!

Ooh, almost! Come on!

Time up.

Imogen, 60 points, great effort, but your sister was the winner,

with 110 points.

Yes!

-Are you ready for the twins' cheeky question?

-We shall see.

Do you ever get fed up of your little brother winning everything?

Er, sometimes, yeah. It can be, er, it can be bothersome, yeah.

Thank you so much for your time! We promise we'll practise more.

OK.

Pinkie promise.

VOICEOVER: We promised Jamie we'd practise our tennis skills.

Yeah, but I don't want to! Practice is SO boring!

Yeah, it is - but, hold on...

..I've got a great idea!

Let's GO!

Yay! I got pirate dad!

Yes! Clown dad!

Yes! Cat dad!

Yes! Pirate dad.

Yes! Got pirate dad.

-Yes!

-Yes!

Yes!

-I think we'll be ready for Wimbledon in no time.

-Yeah, definitely.

Ooh!

AMELIA LAUGHS

We've practised, we've trained, we've given it our all.

-Amelia vs. Imogen.

-Imogen vs. Amelia.

BOTH: Let's go.

MUSIC: Eye of the Tiger by Survivor

VOICEOVER: Do we have what it takes?

Or will we crumble under the pressure?

BOTH: May the best twin win.

Enjoy watching me at Wimbledon!

MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY KLAXON SOUNDS

VOICEOVER: OK, it looks like we're going to crumble.

Oh, my God!

You know what, Imogen? I don't really think tennis is for us.

No, me neither. It's a bit too much like hard work.

Well, that did NOT go as planned.

No, we were pretty rubbish.

But we have to get into Wimbledon!

I don't know, I'm all out of ideas.

Out?!

BOTH: Umpires!
