    Judge Bex is HATED

    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. Thomas has saved up his own money and he's desperate to buy an XBOX but Mum reckons it's the first step to becoming a "tech monster," and worries the console is just the start of a very long (and very expensive) list. Can Thomas prove he can be trusted, or will Mum win the day? Got a case you need Judge Bex's help with? Get…

    Pocket money and banana ceilings

    Josie and Margot take their dad to court over his controversial rule: anyone out of bed before 7am on weekends owes him £1.

Judge Bex investigates inconsistencies in the payout structure, demands a proper ledger for fairness, and rules on a new wake-up time. Meanwhile, Mackenzie accuses her brother Callum of using a spy pen to write "banana" on…

Meanwhile, Charlie wants a pet lizard and claims it'll help with an ongoing fly problem (especially during jam on toast time). His secret weapon? Super-cool Nana, who’s all in for team lizard, even if she won’t be the one cleaning the cage. But with mum and dad saying a firm…
