Episode notes
Matty might just be the busiest kid in the country: French horn lessons, wind band, Brownies where she's a Kelpie and a sixer, sewing club, chess, dance, LEGO club, Eco Council... the list goes on and on. The problem? Mum will only let her press play on Judge Bex the day before the next episode drops, because the new episodes are far too exciting for bedtime and keep Matty wide awake! With five episodes now stacking up unlistened, can Judge Bex find a fair verdict, especially once Matty's brother Ollie boldly claims he HATES the show? Then, Poppy vs Mum, where the charge is mortifying "mum…

Dinner table phones and the last gingerbread man

The girls aren’t allowed their tablets while they eat, but Paul sits down with his personal phone and his work phone and swipes shapes all the way through the meal. He’s on level 7,500.

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…

Coffee burps and the missing art lesson
It's a heatwave outside the Judge Bex chambers, and court reporters Lauren and Connor are just hoping the air conditioning holds up for two brand new cases... 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. Mum arrives with a defence built on science, claiming it's just her stomach letting out a bit of air, and that it's surely better out of the top than the bottom. But then there's the small matter of the 90s singing... will Judge Bex side with Abigail, or will…

Dog in the dock and a bedtime lighting battle

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. The girls say the “parenting policy” is deeply unfair (and possibly a scam, since their pocket money source has dried up!). Dad claims it’s all about sleep, health, and keeping the morning farts contained to individual beds! 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…

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. With the whole family as witnesses and plenty of "overwhelming evidence," can Dad wriggle out of trouble, or will Judge Bex finally bring order (and maybe some fresh air) to the home? 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…
