00:00That was the worst day in the history of the world, ever.
00:19The worst.
00:20Ever.
00:21No, I was talking about me.
00:23My day.
00:24The worst.
00:25Ever.
00:27All right, then.
00:28Everyone, one pound for the worst day in the history of the world, ever.
00:32Winner takes all.
00:33You first.
00:34You sure?
00:35Winner takes all?
00:36You first.
00:37OK.
00:38Think back to this morning, 11 o'clock, the argument.
00:39But you said.
00:40I did not say.
00:41There was no point at which I said.
00:42There was.
00:43There was a moment.
00:44I distinctly remember.
00:45We all remember, don't we?
00:46Yeah.
00:47See?
00:48I have my career to think about.
00:49I have my career to think about.

00:51I have my career to think about.
00:52I have my career to think about.
00:53I have my career to think about.
00:54I have my career to think about.
00:55I have my performance to think about.
00:56When I appear on top of the pops today, all eyes will be upon me.
00:57I will explode onto the pop world like a supernova.
00:58They will love me.
00:59Want me.
01:00I will be brilliant.
01:01I will be a superstar.
01:02And you will be at home.
01:03Understood?
01:04We've got better things to do anyway.
01:05Yeah.

04:21No
04:37No.
04:44Look at my hands.
04:46Red wool.
04:49Nothing.
04:50Nothing?
04:51Nothing compared to what happened to me.
04:55After the argument with Melody, I just decided to check out the help at Hangang's website,
04:59when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
05:01Sophie, I've got to talk to you.
05:03Okay.
05:04I honestly thought he was joking.
05:06He went nattering on about me and him going to steal the money back.
05:09I had no idea he'd talk to you first, Sam.
05:11Jack, Jack, Jack, I'd hate to shatter your dreams,
05:14but do you really think I'd take part in such a harebrained, lunatic scheme as that?
05:20Let it go, Jack. It's only money.
05:22And it's not even your money.
05:24That's not the point, Sophie.
05:25Somebody has to put things right.
05:27Whatever.
05:28Sam, Sam, come look at this.
05:30The help at Hangang website.
05:31Besides, there are much more important things on my mind.
05:34And I'm so good with children. Please let me do the children.
05:37I must admit, I thought I'd drawn the longest straw.
05:40Babysitting two kids in the middle of the afternoon.
05:43It had to be a doddle.
05:46Oh, hello.
05:48They're pets, both of them.
05:51Just make sure they're happy and don't let them get into mischief.
05:54Oh, as if they would.
05:56She seems so intelligent, doesn't she, darling?
05:59Yeah.
06:00Oh, and homework.
06:01Don't forget about the homework. That's the most important thing.
06:05They were so sweet and so cute and so cuddly.
06:09How could it all go so horribly wrong?
06:12Right then, shall we get on with the homework?
06:17That's when I realised they were demons from the deepest pits of hell.
06:21All right, you. Hands up.
06:23You're dead.
06:27No, stop!
06:28Please, stop!
06:31Hey, stop that!
06:36Please, I'm sorry, I love her, I want her now!
06:39Come on, give me the ball, man!
06:41Come on, give me the ball!
07:01My beautiful home!
07:05The worst day in the history of the world ever.
07:08You've got us, I had no idea, what a terrible...
07:10Hold on, hold on, what about me? We haven't finished yet.
07:13Are you sure you don't want to concede now?
07:15Not by a long chop.
07:17Looks like Jack spoke to all of us.
07:19I just didn't realise he was so serious.
07:21I think maybe I was a bit harsh with him.
07:24I don't know.
07:26I just didn't realise he was so serious.
07:28I think maybe I was a bit harsh with him.
07:30You're mad and you're thick and you're completely insane.
07:32If you think we're going to help you get the money back...
07:34Mad, yeah, insane, yeah, they both mean the same thing.
07:36Yeah, well, you're both, I'm crazy too.
07:38All right, OK, I get it, look, if nobody's going to help me,
07:41I'll just have to do it by myself.
07:43Oh, yeah, like you ever would.
07:45I would.
07:46Go on, then.
07:47I will. I will.
07:49I mean, I don't think he really did, did he?
07:52Anyway, I had other things on my mind too.
07:56Oh, dog walking, can I do the dogs?
07:58I love dogs and they love me.
08:01Just make sure they're happy.
08:03Don't let them get into any mischief.
08:06Come on, doggies.
08:08Porkies.
08:10Porkies.
08:11All right, if you want to play rough, I can play rough.
08:14Can you get it?
08:16That's when I realised they were demons from the deepest pits of hell.
08:20That was my babysitting kids.
08:22You think?
08:27Why?
08:28Why did you have to go in there?
08:31Why?
08:34Just give me five minutes rest, OK?
08:36Then we go home.
08:38Please?
08:39Please?
08:40Five minutes!
08:45Stop!
08:46It's so funny!
08:56Oh!
08:59You got us.
09:00The worst.
09:01In the world.
09:02Ever.
09:07That was the worst day in the history of the world.
09:11Ever.
09:12Hang on, I think we might have a new contender.
09:16I don't know when it all went wrong.
09:19All I can tell you is that from the moment I got back home,
09:22the clock was ticking down to the end of my life as I know it.
09:29How do I look?
09:33What do you think? It's like a cross between walking and running.
09:37It's a revolution, I think.
09:41No!
09:42I'm talking about me now, not you and your stupid inventions.
09:48Don't pass out on me when I'm talking to you, Gregory.
09:53Look at me.
09:56This is my big day.
09:58I don't imagine you've even thought about ordering a taxi to take me to the BBC.
10:04Yes, dear.
10:05Of course I have, dear.
10:07It's probably waiting outside now.
10:18I assume that this is a joke, Gregory,
10:21because there is no way I will be arriving at the top of the pop studio
10:26in that clapped-out old banger from Duff Drives.
10:29Full stop!
10:31But I was trying to be helpful, my angel.
10:34Duff Drives are very reliable.
10:36Reliable?
10:39Gregory, when you are the top, poppermost pop idol,
10:45you do not turn up at the top of the pop studios in a car that looks like that!
10:50If you were really being thoughtful, you would have called Posh Limo cabs,
10:54which mistake you will be rectifying right about now.
10:59Posh Limo?
11:00It's under P in the book.
11:03And get a chauffeur with a hat, OK?
11:08I didn't mean to be so hard on Gregors,
11:10but this was my big moment, my big break.
11:14I wanted everything to be perfect,
11:16but unfortunately, it wasn't to be.
11:21Where is it?
11:23They said they'd be here.
11:25They have to be here!
11:39Where is it?
11:41They said they'd be here.
11:43It's not here!
11:47At last, some good luck!
11:53You're going the wrong way!
11:56We're going the right way, love.
11:57You sure it's going the wrong way?
12:04Help me!
12:05Please!
12:06I've got to pop music!
12:08Please help me!
12:10Taxi!
12:15The BBC! Step on it!
12:20Top of the top!
12:21We're here now!
12:24Top of the top!
12:26You're too late, love. Filming's finished.
12:30My life is finished!
12:35My life is finished.
12:38I think she deserves it, yeah.
12:40Definitely. The three pounds is hers.
12:42What about me?
12:44What happened to you?
12:45My invention. It blew up.
12:48Your inventions always blow up.
12:51I win.
12:53But what about Jack?
12:59I know we were a bit hard on him,
13:01but you don't think he would really...
13:03What?
13:04Go after the money on his own?
13:05No, of course not.
13:07He'll probably be home any minute.
13:09Yeah! Any minute!
13:37Well, well, well.
13:39Why have we here?
13:41It looks like we may have stumbled across a way
13:44of making a big pile of money in there
13:46grow into an even bigger pile of money.
13:49Ha, ha, ha!
13:51Ha, ha, ha!
13:53Ha, ha, ha!
13:55Ha, ha, ha!
13:57Ha, ha, ha!
13:59Ha, ha, ha!
14:01Ha, ha, ha!
14:03Ha, ha, ha!
14:05Ha, ha, ha!
14:11Hello?
14:13Yeah.
14:15No.
14:21Yeah.
14:23Okay.
14:26Yeah.
14:30Was that Jack?
14:32He's okay, yeah?
14:34He was caught by the crooks.
14:36They want all Melody's money from her record
14:38before they let him go.
14:39Well, let's call the police!
14:41They advised us not to,
14:42if we want to see Jack back in one piece, that is.
14:45Are you going to tell her or shall I?
14:47I think it's time to use our secret weapon.
14:50That's a good idea.
14:52But...
14:53But what? We need to save Jack, don't we?
14:55Yeah, of course we do, but I'm worried.
14:57I mean, the Queenstowners were sent to me
14:59to make sure Melody and Gregory stay together
15:01and look at them.
15:04Ha, ha, ha!
15:09But...
15:10Why don't we make a sort of...
15:12global wish?
15:14What do you mean?
15:15I know what she means.
15:16We use one for Melody and Gregory,
15:18but at the same time it helps Jack as well.
15:20Yeah, maybe us too.
15:21I've got it.
15:22We've all had a bad day today, right?
15:24And we've all made mistakes.
15:25But if we had a chance to correct those mistakes,
15:27then everything would be all right, yeah?
15:29I certainly wouldn't let those dogs get another one over on me.
15:32I could get another crack at those kids.
15:34Let's do it then.
15:37OK.
15:38We wish...
15:40We wish that if we had our time again,
15:42we could remember our mistakes and learn by them.
15:46Sam, Sam, come and look at this.
15:47The helper hand gang website.
15:49Drop a sale for them.
15:50Oh, excellent.
15:51We do have something better to do
15:52than go to stupid Tumfor Pops and stupid Melody.
15:54What have we got?
15:55Dog walking, babysitting
15:57and helping out at the cafe on the corner.
15:59Gasp it up.
16:00Oh, dog walking.
16:01Can I do the dogs?
16:02I love dogs.
16:03And I think they love me.
16:05Well, I'll do the kids then,
16:07cos I'm really good with kids.
16:08And they always do exactly what I say.
16:12You're leaving me with the cafe.
16:14All right then.
16:15Well, actually, no, I don't mind.
16:16I mean, you can do the babysitting if you want.
16:18Or the dogs.
16:19I've got this weird feeling.
16:21So have I.
16:22Like we've been here before.
16:24Well, I'll see you lot later then.
16:26Yeah, whatever.
16:31I assume that this is a joke, Gregory,
16:34because there is no way I will be arriving
16:37at the Tumfor Pops studios
16:39in that cracked-out old banger from Duff Drives.
16:42Full stop.
16:44But I was trying to be helpful, my angel.
16:46Duff Drives are very reliable.
16:48Reliable?
16:50Gregory, what's more important,
16:53reliable or reliable?
16:56Gregory, what's more important,
16:59reliability or style?
17:03Well, reliability, I suppose.
17:09Yes.
17:10I wouldn't want to be late.
17:13Maybe I could just get him to drop me off around the corner.
17:16That's the ticket.
17:20You are a thoughtful pet, aren't you?
17:22Are you OK?
17:23Yes.
17:24Slucky I thought to put this crash helmet on.
17:26I could have caused myself a nasty injury.
17:30Oh, did I mention we've got a co-sign of builders
17:32coming in from a construction site of junction 3 of the M40
17:35at half-past twelve?
17:36And they do like their sandwiches.
17:44Right.
17:49Right.
17:52Right.
17:54Twelve more fish paste,
17:56half a dozen tuna nicoise and a fried egg back.
17:58Fish paste on the side, tuna on the way
18:00and fried eggs to take home.
18:02Right.
18:21All right, you, hands up.
18:23You're dead.
18:27Are you feeling lucky?
18:32Ha-ha-ha-ha!
18:36Homework time, I think.
18:55Cup of the pops, madam?
18:56Yes.
18:57If I may say so, madam, you require a million dollars.
19:00Well, you may say so, you really may.
19:05Now, straight on to the top spot this week,
19:07with our debut single,
19:10make some noise for Melanie Parker Woods.

20:55Why am I talking to myself? Nobody talks to themselves.
21:04Just do it, Jack. Get the money back and stop talking to yourself.
21:10OK? OK? OK.
21:13That was a good day.
21:15A very good day.
21:16Possibly the best day in the history of the world ever.
21:21How was it, Melody? Did it go well?
21:23Yes.
21:24Huh?
21:25Yes.
21:26Yes as in yes.
21:28Yes as in I am a star.
21:33Oh, Gregory, I love you.
21:38Really? Oh, great. Really?
21:46Where's Jack?
21:49I don't think he...
21:52He'll probably be home any minute.
21:54Yeah, any minute.
22:01Hello?
22:03Yeah.
22:05What?
22:08Yeah.
22:10OK.
22:12Bye.
22:14Was that Jack?
22:16Uh-huh.
22:17Is he in trouble?
22:19He did it.
22:21It was incredible. It was like I knew what was going to happen.
22:23I thought to myself that even if it was a dream, I should learn by my mistakes, right?
22:27And I did. I really did.
22:29I called the transport police over, told them about the stolen money.
22:32They set up a sting operation and caught them both.
22:35Oh, and apparently there might be a reward.
22:37Not that I want any one because I just wanted to get the money back, but I mean if I...
22:40You don't want reward money? Are you mad?
22:43Well, apparently it's mine whether I want it or not.
22:45You want it. Believe me, you want it.
22:47Quiet, everybody. Quiet.
22:50I want to say a few words.
22:52Now, I know I've been a little difficult lately, a bit on edge.
22:57But from this moment on, I'm a different Melody.
23:01I've learned from my mistakes.
23:03Life begins again from today.
23:06The old Melody is gone.
23:08Say hello to the new Melody.
23:11The nice, kind, generous, thoughtful, loving Melody.
23:17Melody the successful.
23:19Melody the star.
23:21I love you all.
23:24And now, in place of our advertised programme,
23:27we will be going to Adrian's Small Jobs and gardening around Britain.
23:30What?
23:32What are you talking about?
23:34Our apologies to those waiting for Top of the Pops,
23:37but it has been cancelled due to an industrial dispute.
23:40And now, over to Adrian.
23:42No!
23:45And now, over to Adrian.
23:47No!
