00:00Yeah. Yeah, I see. This morning. Right. Listen, thanks, Jim, I appreciate it. You'll let us
00:24know. Thanks. Jack. Wake up, Jack. That was my old school friend, James. He's a policeman.
00:40I've asked him to find out about your dad. Oh, yeah. Dad. They've held him overnight
00:46on suspicion of being involved in a pretty serious robbery. And now they'll either charge
00:50him or let him go. Right. Well, yes, they're going to decide later this morning. Good.
00:57So she'll be back about lunchtime. Hey, listen, thanks for letting me keep it. You seem pretty
01:04confident about your dad. That always comes back. The cops hassle him all the time. Apparently
01:10it looks a lot like someone else. He's got a good mind to lodge a complaint. Suppose
01:14he should. Kyra, give that back. Sophie, can you control this bird? Well, let's see
01:21then. Snow Dunder needs some help. The Help Hand Gang will do your chores cheap. Call
01:270788988145. Hey, that's really good. It was a joint production. Sam did the editorial.
01:34I did the colouring in. It's going to be wicked. And hopefully get us a bit of cash to help
01:38out Melody and Gregory. Plus, we got a bit of help in hand ourselves. Can I see it again,
01:43Sam, please? I can't believe he's back. Eight whole wishes left. We've got to think really
01:53hard how to use them. It seems someone has to use it to help people. Yeah, I mean, like
01:57you said, if you start getting greedy or selfish, the Queenslanders have certainly got a few
02:00interesting ways of letting you know. Who knows? What's interesting? What's going on?
02:07Come on. What have you got behind there? Oh, the Help A Hand business thing. Nice colouring.
02:16Poor look, girls. I'm a busy boy. My dad's back soon, but I suppose now I've got the
02:21morning free, I could give you a bit of my time. Seems like the sort of OK thing to do.
02:26Little jobs. Earn a bit of dosh, even. OK, Jack, if you want to help.
02:32OK. This is a very, very important meeting, Gregory. We don't let that get to us, do we?
02:40No. Be cool. We're looking good. It's all about presentation. It's all about presentation,
02:50you see, Trish. I know. I know it's not very fair on Gregory pretending I'm not married,
02:58but Max is my manager now, and if he thinks it's better for me to be an unattached, single,
03:04young pop star, then what's the harm in letting him think that? Gregory won't mind. He won't
03:12even know, actually. All we have to do is keep him and you out of Max's way, that's
03:19all. Gregory, be a sweet and take treasure to the swings for me. What? What did I say?
03:30Melody, look at me. I'm just off. My meeting. The meeting. Say again? Melody, I'm just about
03:43to present my big new idea to the National Innovation Corporation Development Panel.
03:48If they like it, they could buy up my new invention just like that. I'd be famous and
03:54rich. I could solve all our money problems. Gregory, I hate to mention it, but I am just
04:00about to become a major recording star. I could solve all our problems. My personal
04:06manager is arriving soon to finalise our business strategy. What? That's charlatan? He's coming
04:11here and I need to get you and everyone out. I need a bit of space for negotiations. That
04:19man will never make you a penny. That contract you signed isn't worth the paper it's written
04:24on. I will make more as a pop star than you will ever make as a stupid, mad inventor.
04:33Right, we'll just be popping off then. Bye.
04:42You know what? They seem to be getting worse. Much worse.
04:47Take her with me. She'll be fine. Good as gold. She'll almost certainly sleep. It's not
04:54professional, Melody. I've never seen them argue like that before. It's money that always
04:58seems to be the problem. Well, maybe now we can make some cash to help out. Look!
05:11Gregors! What are you doing here? I thought you'd given up years ago. Nick DeVries. Should
05:16have guessed you'd be here. Call me Slicknick, Gregory, old chap. Everybody else does. And
05:20guess what, my old mucker? They're seeing two people at a time and we're going in together.
05:24Oh, good. Everyone is so excited at Global Music. I've got both my secretaries working
05:31round the clock preparing for your debut. It's all about presentation, you see, Melody.
05:36Of course, yes. What we need for you is a portfolio of pictures. You know, beautiful,
05:42classy, glamorous. A photo shoot? Of course. The guy who did Madonna is always good. Oh,
05:50what about... Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You see, what the magazines and the record
05:55companies are going for at the moment is more the informal look, not the formal look. What
06:00we need to go for is something... Oh, what are these? Melody, these are fantastic. Look!
06:07But they're just my holiday snaps. Oh, it's so natural, perfect. No fancy make-up, no
06:14expensive dresses. The real you. But the real me likes the expensive dresses.
06:45Gentlemen, gardens. A thing of beauty and a job forever, am I right? Now, I've always
06:54been a terrible gardener. Anything I grow in my garden is tired. Last week, my artificial
07:01lawn died. Not anymore. Let me introduce you to the new Nick DeVries, all-in-one garden
07:12assistant. Rakes, hoes, digs and prunes all in one. Because let's face it, the family
07:20that rakes together, aches together. Am I right? Let me show you what this little beauty
07:26can do. Any calls now? Any messages? Andy, the cars have only been in the window half
07:33an hour. Because as we all know, old gardeners never die, they just spade away.
07:42Now, gentlemen, let me introduce you to a man with a soft heart and a head to match.
07:47They call him a wit, but they're only half right. Gentlemen, Mr. Gregory Parker Wood.
07:53Hi. Yes. Hello, ladies and...
08:14I'd like to show you my new idea.
08:24My latest invention. Oh! It's edible cutlery.
08:38Now then, Mel Baby, one of the first, most crucial things you're going to need. What
08:43do you say to a stunning pop promo video? A showcase for all your gifts in one brilliant
08:49visual package? Yes. A calling card for the whole music business to say, this is Melody.
08:55Watch out, because she has arrived. Yes, a video. I could do an evening wear section,
09:03a nightclub or maybe a casino, lots of long shimmery dresses. Yeah. And then a swimwear
09:11section, maybe underwater. Yes, with fish and mermaids swimming about. Why not? And
09:18then on stage with crowds of people cheering and me sort of flying above them. Brilliant.
09:25Excellent. Whatever you think you can afford. I can afford. Well, yeah, that's not a problem,
09:35is it? No more nasty, damp, drying up cloths lying around the place. Think of all the valuable
09:45storage space you gain. You'll never need your cutlery drawer again. Yes, let's hear
09:53it for Gregory, the life and soul of the party. Gives you some idea just how dull the party
09:59was. Only kidding, Gregors. Thanks, Nick. Thank you, gentlemen. Nick, fancy a spot
10:10of lunch? Yes. Any messages now? Nothing. Melody, what's wrong? What happened? My career,
10:26my brilliant music career, it's all over. She says she has to have a video. As far as
10:51I can make out, she can't even afford to hire one from the corner shop, let alone make one.
10:55Give her this. Sophie, you can make her one. You got an A star in that filmmaking project
11:00at school. You're the number one national expert pop videos. Well, I could have a go
11:06actually, but you need all that equipment. She wants her old teddy to cuddle now. Oh,
11:13I saw that. That's over there in Gregory's workshop. Okay. Okay. I wish that we had all
11:20the equipment we needed for a pop video. Oh. What? Well, where's it gone? I passed it
11:28to Pansy at the table and she took it. I passed it to you behind the back, you took it. To
11:34the scarf, you gave me the scarf. I thought it was in the scarf. I mean, my idea was far
11:40better than his, wasn't it, Treasure? You know what it is? It's just they liked him
11:44better. He was funny. He made them laugh. Hey, where'd you get that from? See, it's
11:54all about presentation, Treasure. I'm no good at it. I'm just not funny. You know, I wish
12:02I could be funny. Wait a minute, Treasure. I saw her put the 50p in the put the shapes
12:19in the holes thing toy. Yeah, but she's gone with Gregory. She must have taken it with
12:23her. I'm just going to have to wait until they come back. But what about Melody? Hey,
12:28look at this. I've had a brilliant idea. Come on. As soon as I saw all this stuff in Gregory's
12:37workshop, I thought, let's do the show right here. Oh, nice. Video camera. And editing
12:42stuff. We've got it all. It's going to be perfect. Oh, Jack, you're brilliant.
12:58What's your holiday?
13:29The Helper Hand Gang presents its first unsolicited commission.
13:38There it is.
13:41How did you get it? Oh, Gregory had it all hidden away in his little den. Yes, but Sophie's
13:46a brilliant director. She got an A star in media studies. And this is your makeup and
13:50stylist. And Jack and I are your best boy gaffer load of wrangler crew. And have a look
13:55at this.
14:01Hello?
14:02Hi, Gregors. It's Jim down the station. Just to let you know about your boy Jack's dad.
14:07They are going to prosecute aggravated burglary. Taking him to court right now. Gregors? Gregors?
14:20And you look great. You've got a brilliant song. All we need to do is point the camera
14:24at you. Oh, yes, you're right. We can do it. Thank you, everyone. You're so sweet.
14:32Thank you. Everything's going to be fantastic. I know it is.
14:38Okay, everyone. Ready? Sound. Sound. Running. Okay, and action.
14:54Make a wish. Anything you want. I can make your dreams come true. Make a wish. Anything
15:12you need. I can make you feel so good. Look into my eyes. Trust in me. Show me. I can
15:25help you find what you need. Set you free.
15:33She looks nice. Sparkly eyes. She looks sort of kind. Does she ever call? Get in touch?
15:48No, my mum doesn't either. I could find her if I wanted. You know, when I'm 18 I'm going
15:56to get a private detective. Because they are real, actually. Not just on the telly. I'm
16:01going to track her down. I'll meet her in a cafe or a coffee shop somewhere and talk
16:06to her. That's amazing. That's exactly what I'm going to do. Yeah? But what are you going
16:12to do now? Where are you going to go? I mean, if your dad gets sent to prison. I don't know.
16:19I don't even know if he did it. I don't know anything anymore. What about this thing? What
16:25do you mean? Well, those men, they brought it here yesterday. Your dad said he was out.
16:30So who let them in? Why did they leave? I know, it's nuts. My old man would never buy
16:35a statue. The only thing he spends his money on is old rock and roll records. It's like
16:44a big box. A drawer that slides out. What is it your dad was supposed to have stolen?
16:53Cash. Loads of unmarked banknotes.
16:59You.
17:05Nothing. I knew it. No stolen loot. Nothing. It's just those stupid cops. They've really
17:12got it in for him. I knew he didn't do it.
17:24I'll see you later. Gregory, you all right?
17:37Absolutely one of the worst nights of my life.
17:40Make a wish. Anything you want. I will make your dreams come true. Make a wish. Anything
17:50you want.
17:51Oh, cut! What happened? Hansy!
17:57OK, don't worry, let's just do it again. And action!
18:00Action! I knew it, Dad. They've got nothing on you. You should know to complain. Let's
18:10have one of your favourites.
18:30OK, I'll just watch from over here.
19:00What?
19:01Nothing.
19:02What?
19:03Just a slight technical hitch. Carry on.
19:05Sam, what's going on?
19:29I don't know, but Melody will kill him if she finds out he's doing all this.
19:36What? Why do you keep stopping? I think it's going rather well.
19:53I smell the Queen's nose.
20:00What's been going on?
20:02Fantastic. Dramatic, stunning, and all your own stunts too. Melody, you're a star.
20:12A couple of little technical hitches, but we can fix it in this.
20:16You can?
20:17Yeah, just a splice here and a splice there.
20:20You look amazing and it sounded brilliant.
20:23It did? Oh, yeah, of course.
20:25Hello? Yes, it's Melody. Oh, James. Right, the court. Oh, right. OK, thanks to Jim.
20:44Jack's dad. He's just been to court to hear the charges against him. There is going to
20:49be a full trial and the judge has remanded him in custody.
20:52In what? In prison?
20:54Yeah, they're keeping him in prison until...
20:58What?
21:06He must have got hold of the Queen's nose by mistake and made some sort of wish.
21:09What sort of wish? I wish I could be a complete idiot or something like that.
21:13Oh, but what's he going to do now? Where's he going to go?
21:24Poor Jack. I suppose the social services will have to take care of him.
21:29Please?
21:31Here? You want me to have another kid staying here?
21:37Well, yeah, but you know what will happen. He'll be taken into care.
21:40Yeah, and we all know what that's like with foster parents and meetings and men with big
21:44beards and knitted jumpers and shoes that look like meat pasties.
21:47I know, I know.
21:49And he'd be so useful. He was brilliant helping out with your video.
21:53Yeah, and it's going to be a huge success and he'll have been part of that.
21:56Yeah, and we'll do all the extra washing up.
21:58Well, I suppose if my career is suddenly going to take off, we could maybe afford an extra
22:05mouth to feed just for a few weeks.
22:08Oh, thanks.
22:09Yeah, brilliant.
22:10Come on, let's go and tell him.
22:19Melody, I am very disappointed. That's all I'm going to say. Disappointed, shocked and violated.
22:27Max, I can't explain.
22:32Melody, you misled me. That's what hurts me the most.
22:36You let me believe that you were an unattached single girl, a young pop star, idolised by
22:42thousands of young boys, not a housewife with, well, if you don't mind me saying, a very
22:47eccentric husband and a house full of kids. Where did this lot come from?
22:53Oh, them? They're just staying here.
22:55Melody, I am, well, I'm very unhappy. That's all I'm going to say.
22:59Listen, mister, this girl has just finished shooting a brilliant, stunning, groundbreaking
23:04promotional video with the top young director.
23:06She has?
23:07Yeah.
23:08All paid for?
23:09Yeah.
23:11Melody, Mel, baby, all I'm saying is, this isn't the life of a superstar. Well, maybe
23:18the parrot is, but, well, look, if you're not presenting yourself as a star, then you're
23:23never going to be a star. Put it this way, that video better be as brilliant as you say
23:28it is.
23:29Oh, yeah, that's brilliant.
23:30Oh, too.
23:31Yeah.
