Mum’s rule is that each book gets read before its film gets watched.

Officially the biggest podcast in the entire world
Court reporters Lauren and Connor are outside the courtroom and have decided the Judge Bex podcast is now officially the biggest in the whole entire world. Bold claim. Two cases to back it up... First, Evie is off to Italy and wants her own wheelie suitcase, with a lock. Dad Matt says no, and he’s nervous about what she’d actually pack: fake nails, a pile of cuddly toys and one lonely puzzle book. But then Evie reveals why the lock matters so much. Dad has been opening her bag, taking her things out and stuffing his own things in, and his bag, she says, is massive… Then…

First up, Abigail is taking her mum to court over a serious coffee problem. Two coffees go in every morning, the burps come out, and Abigail says her mum never once apologises.

Screen time on trial
Maya's fed up. Every time she's told to put her screen down and go read or draw, her dad's sitting right beside her... scrolling through Instagram! Is that fair? It's a classic case of "do as I say, not as I do" and Judge Bex is not impressed. Then it's Thomas versus Mum.

Fartman and the fly-eating lizard
Young Emma brings her dad to justice for consistently blaming his very suspiciously large farts on her and her little sister.

Dogs and 4 o'clock wake-ups
