Genie in the House

Mummy Dearest (1x24)

:

It's Adil's 1500th birthday, the equivalent of 15 human years. Things have already started to go wrong, though, after the girls wished that their father had a magnetic personality, and Philip finds that anything metal is attracted to him, literally. But there's worse to come, for Adil's mother, Jamilla, has decided to attend the birthday celebrations. And even worse, Adil has told his mother that he is a very successful genie to a very rich sultan and his two daughters. The Nortons agree to big Adil up, so that Adil's mother doesn't find out that Adil isn't quite the wonder genie he had told her. A genie's 1500th birthday is traditionally the time he gets married, and Adil's mother has brought his new bride, Dooma. But things don't go quite according to plan, because Sophie and Emma think Adil doesn't want to get married, even though Adil is besotted with Dooma, so the girls hatch a plan. They decide to pretend that Adil was already betrothed to Princess Sophie, and therefore couldn't marry Dooma. Meanwhile, Dooma tells Adil that she is love with another genie, and cannot marry Adil. Everything gets sorted, Adil's mother finds out that Adil is not the world's best genie, and Adil decides that he's too young to marry, anyway. With Guest Stars, Sue Kyd as Jamilla, Adil's mother, and Fiona Wade as Dooma. Written by Lee Pressman. Directed by Phil Ox.
