Stick 'Em Up!

Last night's dream involves an apology and gunfire. Which reminds me, ever wondered what would happen if I starred in the Scream Street episode 'Endless Summer'? Well this dream does!

I was in Cleo's house talking with Cleo and Luella. I was sorry I saw Cleo crying and apologised to Cleo for the way she reacted to when she almost lost her cat, Tut-Tut. We engaged in an Almost Never/Next Step/Dumping Ground-esque talk about how we can still be friends like it's last year, when there was only four of us: Luke, Resus, Cleo and me. When I talked about my jungle fantasies, Luella went wild and asked if he would join in, to which I remarked, yes.

Suddenly, Niles burst in wearing a ski mask and holding a gun, which terrified us as he shot Luella in the side. I got angry at Cleo's dad and yelled, "Niles! I was just apologising and you shot Luella!" to which the clumsy oaf responded, "Hey, Sybil, you ever recall a coin toss? Let me give you a word of advice: always bet on Niles."

Just as Niles was about to shoot me, I woke up! Niles can't shoot, 'cause he's a big clumsy friendly Egyptian mummy, so that's fine by me. If I starred in Endless Summer, it would be all about gunfire and friendship problems.

I.B.F.Fs: The Long Grass

The I.B.F.Fs and I spend a lazy Summer day playing games in the long grass and just basically relaxing.

What Did Mwaksy & Henry Do Last Night?

We all knew Mwaksy got over her fear of dogs last night on Blue Peter, but what happened after Henry's walk? Well, it may not be for kids but get over it anyway...

[Mwaksy wakes up in bed. She looks around and sees Henry smoking a bone-shaped vape stick)
MWAKSY: WAAAAAAAA!! Henry! What the hell are you doing in my bed?
HENRY: You said you wanted me to be your side hound, so I had no choice but to kick my legs.
MWAKSY: You've been with me all along! Dogs aren't boyfriends!
HENRY: Yes they are, Mwaks. By the way, nice pyjamas.
MWAKSY: How the hell did you learn to talk anyway?
HENRY: I developed a voice.
MWAKSY: Dammit!
HENRY: What'ya gonna do? Tell the producers of Blue Peter?
MWAKSY: I am, and you'll be sorry when I tell Lindsey and the others I slept with you last night!
HENRY: Mwaksy, one more thing. I kept a lion in the cupboard.
MWAKSY: WHAT?!
HENRY: Yes - it's true. I went to London Zoo, stole a lion and stuffed him into your cupboard. Has the show been to the zoo before?
HENRY: Then you leave me no choice. Oh Leee-o!
MWAKSY: OH MY GOD! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
[Mwaksy gets chased by a lion while Henry laughs diabolically]

Once An Engine Attached To A Plane

What happens when you combine Itch, CBBC, the Kid-E-Cats episode 'First Airplane Adventure' and the first story in Horrid Henry: Up, Up & Away, which happens to be my favourite story in this book? The dream I had last night!



All of CBBC and I were flying on an aeroplane to Australia. We're staying in a hotel with twelve huge pools, wave machines and room service, and I so looked forward to it. CBBC characters I didn't like, like Boy, Girl, Dog, Cat, Mouse and Cheese, weren't coming, thank god. Itch was in the seat behind me, reading a book about the science of plane flight, but when the plane took off, Itch ducked and began to whimper like a coward. Instantly, his friends Lucy and Jack began to laugh at him, making fun of him with this rhyme:
"Once a boy obsessed with science,
Heard the whir of the Nazi planes.
With a squeak of fear, he went into a tunnel,
And waited until it was safe again!"
At once, everyone on board the plane began screaming with laughter and repeating the above chant. The only ones who weren't laughing were the passengers sitting beside me - Luke, Resus and Cleo, my closest friends. Sorry for Itch, we got out of our seats and lead him out of the aisle into the first class section. Relieved, we settled down in our own private suite. While Itch reclined in his comfy seat and watched iPlayer, we had our own private suite - just for Luke, Resus, Cleo and me - where we snuggled in our comfy bed with fluffy pillows, ate chocolates and crisps from the basket, watched CBBC on the massive TV and had flight stewards at our beck and call. It was bliss. It wasn't bliss for some of the CBBC stars on the economy class side of the plane - they felt sick!

Now, let's listen to my favourite story from Horrid Henry: Up, Up  & Away, the book that inspired the Dream Productions in my head to create this dream film:

CBBC Family Sundays

If only CBBC could do a craft series based around their own shows similar to Disney Family Sundays, named 'CBBC Family Sundays'. It will be presented by Oti Mabuse, and will feature families coming together to help make a craft inspired by their favourite CBBC show. For example, for She-Ra, they'd make a tiara, or for Itch, they'd make a bottle rocket, or they'd make a photo frame inspired by The Dumping Ground. Now that'd be the good CBBC show for viewers to enjoy - they should've made it in 2019 so viewers can enjoy it during lockdown.

Bolos

What does 'Bolo' mean in Portguese? Cakes! This is the Portguese version of the story of Bud & The Cakes I saw when I was younger!

Itch-Speriments - The Science Of Plane Flight

"Once a boy who was obsessed with science,
Heard the whir of Nazi planes.
With a squeak of fear, he went into the tunnel,
And waited until it was safe again."

Learn about the science of plane flight with Itch and friends!
