Fecha de emisión: Jun 07, 2006

Philip is stressed because he's behind with a design for a novelty teapot for a client of Max's. The girls are pestering their dad to let them hold a party, and Adil is driving him nuts by carrying out noisy alterations to the interior of his lamp. The girls wish their father was a little more chilled, and Philip turns into a hippie. The girls are pleased because the party gets the go ahead, and all the guests are impressed with the new laid back Philip. The new Philip can't be bothered with work, so Max's client makes Max fire him, and he can't be bothered to pay the bills, either. The mortgage company forecloses on them, and all the furniture is repossessed. And even worse, he lends Adil his Power Hammer, causing Adil to injure every one of his fingers, rendering him unable to do any magic. Max's client, Mr. Osterman returns to the house to look for his organiser, which he has lost, and spots Adil's lamp. Mr. Osterman thinks it's Philips design for the novelty tea pot, and falls in love with it. Philip gets reinstated, with a large bonus, so the money problems are over, and Adil recovers to reverse the wish. With Johnnie Lyne Pirkis as Mr. Osterman. Written by Grant Cathro. Directed by Emmanuelle Dubergey. Note Mr Osterman is German,Austrian and Mr Osterman is apparently able to speak fluent German. The title of the episode is also a reference to the song by German-based Caribbean band Boney M..
