Scream Street Bites - Luke's Date
ME: Luke...these months in lockdown haven't been perfect, I know that. In fact, many of them have been a waking nightmare with all the noise going on outside. There's no year I'd rather spend it with...I love you.
LUKE: Aaawww, I love you too, Sybil.
ME: This is why I brought you to this rainforest...to spend time with you before you go next week. I want you to see the most beautiful thing there is to see, one you haven't seen since you moved to Scream Street.
LUKE: And what's that?
ME: A sunrise! Come on, Luke!
LUKE: Wooaaah!
*Luke and I wander romantically through the jungle, to this music:*
ME: Well, Luke, here it is: a sunrise, just like I promised you!
LUKE: Wow...I've never seen a sunrise in years - this feels great!
ME: You've seen one now. Come closer - Luke, how's about we share one last kiss before you leave with my other two besties, Resus and Cleo? They mean the whole world to me, and so do you.
LUKE: Hell yeah...I would love to.
ME: We'll be friends forever, right?
LUKE: Yeah, forever.
*We kiss as the sun rises before us.*

I.B.F.F Diaries '15 - Part 10: Best Halloween Ever
Naomi, Scooby, Shaggy, Jake, Sam, Felix and Andy have formed their own gang in preparation for CBBC's 'Shocktober' event. What will Mitchell think when Scream Street is involved in the plan?
I've thought up a new scene for the film, set on the day before the events of the premiere of Scream Street, where Mitchell and his friends are chased by Naomi and the gang in a maize maze, as a nod to the Percy The Park Keeper story 'The Secret Path', to the sound of Koop's 'Summer Sun'.
The 'Hood: No Food 'Til 5 Teaser
Dixon and No Name are put on a strict diet when Sir Otto complains that they eat too much. They can't eat until 5 O'Clock now, but the two try many ways they can to amuse themselves without keeping their eyes on tasty treats. Through their waiting, they learn that exercise is a great way to pass the time whilst waiting, so go to the gym to get fit.
While you're waiting, find more ways to keep kids amused while they're waiting for something exciting:

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSH!!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!! This is the best evening ever, and that's the name of this blog post. Why? Because tonight, Blue Peter visited the set of Scream Street the same way they visited the set of Strange Hill High seven years ago - oh my god, what a surprise! I first saw it on the Scream Street Twitter page and oh boy, imagine the look on the presenters' faces when they go to the theater and see my I.B.F.Fs films, including The Eagle's Nest:
Picture this, right: the Blue Peter presenters are in a theater watching The Eagles' Nest. They are shocked at what they see. They have popcorn trailing out of their mouths, including Henry.
ADAM: Oh, em, GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! They're naked!
LINDSEY: Who cares? This makes Luke a 'barewolf'! *laughs, but doesn't notice the other presenters laughing* Er...you don't get my joke, right?
*Henry facepalms*
I'm A Big Kid Now Is Cancelled
Due to what happened today, I'm not bringing you Bingo's dream of her, Lila, Missy and Tiny Clanger turning the same age as Izzy and her gang of big kids. I'll do it some time when there's time. In the meantime, as you're waiting, you can find fun activities little ones can do with big kids:
Scream Street Bites - Introducing Six To The Eagle's Nest
ME: Well, Six, do you like my script so far?
SIX: Yes! All those thoughts of living in the jungle - I wish I could live there.
ME: Yeah. Just imagine - getting away from all the noise and rush of modern life or human life and thinking about frolicking around naked in a natural paradise. A modern day Eden in our minds, with no serpent or tempting fruit, just golden honey, cool, clear water and a soft, cottony nest. How's about I take you there?
SIX: Take me!
ME: Okay, sit down in front of me, that's it. Now, Six, close your eyes....now forget what you see...what do you feel?
SIX: Nothing.
ME: Nothing? There's more than nothing! Your heart starts beating slowly....your soul feels the urge to escape your body...feel it: the cold, clear water on your soft skin, the tempting taste of honey and fruit filling your mouth and the soft, caring touch of cotton from an eagle's nest on your back. Go on, Six. Feel it...feel it...feel it to be there...
*Six finds herself naked in a jungle paradise. She squeals in delight and begins to enjoy her new, cosy, natural lifestyle: she swims in the cold, clear lake and relaxes on top of the water, enjoys the fruit and honey growing, gazes at animals from behind the leaves and snuggles to sleep in the eagle's nest. She crawls up to some tropical flowers, and sniffs them.*
SIX: Mmmmmmmmm...
WHACK!
*Six snaps back to reality*
DR. F: Vell, nothing like ze aroma of wildflowers on a Frankenstein in ze morning. Sybil! What ze hell did you do to Six?!
ME: Erm...I was just showing her one of my stories about Luke, Resus, Cleo and me.
DR. F: You are such an unbelievable pervert, thinking about my creation stark naked in ze middle of ze freakin' jungle! In fact, I have heard Resus moan as if he was on a orga-
ME: Don't mention it, Dr. F U, there's kids reading this post!
DR. F: That makes it worse! Six, into ze bath with you!
SIX: Oh my god! Yay! You'll never forgive me for this, Sybs!
ME: I am such a gentle animated nudist film maker, aren't I?

I.B.F.Fs - Featuring Luella!
Inspired by 'Endless Summer', I've thought up two new I.B.F.Fs shorts featuring Luella.
In 'I.B.F.Fs & The Trampoline', Cleo, Luella and I play on the trampoline in my garden, gazing up at clouds and trying to fend off an evil cat living next door before running inside again when it starts to rain.
In the soothing 'I.B.F.Fs: Thermal Conditioning' which once more contains glorious stop-motion nudity, my younger self describes a sensual fantasy where Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella and I all enjoy a dip in a thermal hot spring, later joined by a troop of snow monkeys. Find out more about why snow monkeys like to do that here:
