Genie in the House

Emma TV (1x26)

:

Sophie attends a Homework party at Harold's house. Emma, having decided that the words 'homework' and 'party' should never go together, watches television instead. She thinks she can do better than the interviewer she sees on TV, and mistakenly wishes that she was a television presenter, and Adil obliges. Emma finds she is the 'star' of Emma TV. The Norton living room becomes a television studio, complete with lights, cameras and audience. Her father is the show's director, and Uncle Max is the producer. However, Emma soon find out that being the star of a live television show isn't as easy as it looks, and she's soon floundering. Max replaces Emma with Adil, and he is an instant hit. Meanwhile, Sophie discovers that the homework party at Harold's house isn't exactly a party, as no-one else is invited. During a break, Sophie spots Emma on television, and returns home to help sort out the disaster. Emma tries to unwish her wish, but Adil is becoming bigheaded, and refuses to speak to her. The girls get bundled from the house. They decide that the only way they can get to speak to Adil is to impersonate the Cheesy Girls, guests on his show. They sing a poignant song, and Adil's conscience is stirred. With Jack Blumenau as Harold, Nicholas Penfold as Billy Blaze, and Marie-Francoise Wolf as the TV Presenter. Director Steven Bawol appears as the Floor Manager! Written by Arnold Widdowson. Directed by Steven Bawol. Note: The Cheesy Girls are a parody of pop duo The Cheeky Girls, known for their hit The Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum).
